In a box, there are 10 apples and 2/5th of the apples are rotten. If three apples are taken out from the box, what will be the probability that at least one apple is rotten.
  1. ক) 3/4
  2. খ) 5/6
  3. গ) 5/8
  4. ঘ) 8/13
ব্যাখ্যা

Let, rotten apples = 10 × 2/5 = 4, not rotten = 6

If 1 apple is rotten + 2 apples are not rotten 
= 4C1 × 6C2 = 60
If 2 apples are rotten + 1 apple is not rotten 
= 4C2 × 6C1 = 36
If 3 apples are rotten = 4C3 = 4

Total outcomes = 10C3 = 120
∴ Probability = (60 + 36 + 4) / 120 = 100/120 = 5/6

Question: Rana took a loan of Tk. 7500 with simple interest for as many years as the rate of interest. If he paid Tk. 1875 as interest at the end of the loan period, what was the rate of interest?

Solution:
Let,
rate r = R%
and time n = R years

ATQ,
Prn = I
⇒ (7500 × R × R)/100 = 1875
⇒ 75R2 = 1875
⇒ R2 = 1875/75
⇒ R2 = 25
∴ R = 5

  2. 16000.66
  3. 16656.66
  4. 16666.66
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: The contributions made by Rasel and Akash are in the ratio of 6 : 4. If 10% of the total profit is donated and Rasel gets 9000 as his share of profit, what is the total profit?

Solution:
Let,
the total profit after donated = p
The ratio of contribution by Rasel and Akash = 6 : 4
sum of ratios = 10

Rasel's share = (6/10) × p = 9000
⇒ p = (10 × 9000)/6
∴ p = 15000
so, total profit after donated = 15000

ATQ,
Rasel gets 9000 after 10% donated
Now,
90% = 15000
1% = 15000/90
And, 100% = (15000 × 100)/90 = 16,666.66

  2. 40 days
  3. 42 days
  4. 55 days
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A, B and C together can complete a piece of work in 12 days. All the three started working at it together and after 5 days A left. Then B and C together completed the work in 10 more days. A alone could complete the work in-

Solution:
(A + B + C) do 1 work in 12 days.

So (A + B + C)'s 1 day work = 1/12 part
∴ (A + B + C)'s 5 day work = 5/12 part

Remaining work = 1 - (5/12) = 7/12 part

(B + C) takes 10 more days to complete 7/12 part.
∴ (B + C)'s 1 day work = 7/120 part

Now A's 1 day work = (A + B + C)'s 1 day work - (B + C)'s 1 day work
= 1/12 - 7/120
= (10 - 7)/120
= 3/120
= 1/40

∴ A does 1/40 work in in 1 day
∴ A alone could complete the work in 40 days

A rectangular grassy plot 110 m by 65 m has a gravel path 2.5 m wide all round it on the inside. Find the cost of gravelling the path at 80 paisa per sq. metre.
  1. ক) Tk. 570
  2. খ) Tk. 620
  3. গ) Tk. 680
  4. ঘ) Tk. 750
ব্যাখ্যা

Area of the plot = (110 × 65)m2
= 7150m2
Area of the plot excluding the path = [(110 - 5) × (65 - 5)]m2
= 6300 m2

∴ Area of the path = (7150 - 6300) m2
= 850 m2

Cost of graveling the path = Tk. {850 × (80/100)}
= Tk. 680

A fruit seller sells 20 oranges for Tk. 900 and suffers a loss equal to the cost price of 5 oranges. Find the cost price of one orange.
  1. Tk. 55
  2. Tk. 60
  3. Tk. 42
  4. Tk. 62
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: A fruit seller sells 20 oranges for Tk. 900 and suffers a loss equal to the cost price of 5 oranges. Find the cost price of one orange.

Solution:
Let,
cost price of 1 orange is = Tk. x
∴ cost price of 20 oranges is = Tk. 20x
∴ cost price of 5 oranges is = Tk. 5x

We know,
Cost price - Selling price = Loss
20x - 900 = 5x
⇒ 20x - 5x = 900
⇒ 15x = 900
⇒ x = 900/15
∴ x = 60

∴ Cost price of 1 orange is Tk. 60

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: From the top of a lighthouse 60 m high above sea level, the angle of depression of a boat is 45°. How far is the boat from the foot of the lighthouse?

Solution:

Let the height of the lighthouse above sea be AC and it is given 60 m.
Angle of depression = 45°

Boat is at point B so the distance between the base of lighthouse A and Boat is AB.

 So, tan 45° = AC / AB
⇒ 1 = 60 / AB
⇒ AB = 60 m

∴ The boat is 60 m away from the foot of the lighthouse.

ব্যাখ্যা

[মূল প্রশ্নে Px = Qy = Rz এর পরিবর্তে Px = Qy = Rz হবে]

Question: If Px = Qy = Rz and Q/P = R/Q then 2z/(x + z) = ?

Solution:
ধরি,
Px = Qy = Rz = k
এখন,
Px = k
∴ P = k(1/x)

অনুরুপভাবে,
Qy = k
∴ Q = k(1/y)
এবং
Rz = k
∴ R = k(1/z)

আবার,
⇒ Q/p = R/Q
⇒ Q2 = PR
⇒ {k(1/y)}2 = k(1/x) × k(1/z)
⇒ k(2/y) = k(z + x)/xz
⇒ 2/y = (z + x)/xz
⇒ 2xz = y(z + x)
∴ 2z/x + z = y/x

সমাধান: 
একটি মেশিনের মূল্য ৬২৫০ টাকা 

প্রথম বছরে এর মূল্য ১০% হ্রাস পায় 
প্রথম বছর পর এর মূল্য = ৬২৫০ - ৬২৫০ এর ১০% 
= ৬২৫০ - (৬২৫০ ×১/১০)
= ৬২৫০ - ৬২৫ টাকা 
= ৫৬২৫ টাকা 

দ্বিতীয় বছরে এর মূল্য ২০% হ্রাস পায় 
দ্বিতীয় বছর শেষে মূল্য = ৫৬২৫ - ৫৬২৫ এর ২০%
= ৫৬২৫ - ১১২৫ টাকা
= ৪৫০০ টাকা 

তৃতীয় বছরে, এর মূল্য ৩০% হ্রাস পায় 
∴ তৃতীয় বছর শেষে এর মূল্য = ৪৫০০ - ৪৫০০ এর ৩০%
= ৪৫০০ - ১৩৫০ টাকা

Question: A person sold a book at a gain of 15%. Had he bought it for 25% less and sold it for Tk. 600 less, he would have made a profit of 32%. The cost price of the book was:

Solution:
Let the original cost price = Tk. x

Selling price = x + 15% of x
= 115x/100
= 23x/20

Cost price = x - 25% of x
= x - (25x/100)
= 75x/100
= 3x/4

Selling price = (3x/4) + 32% of (3x/4)
= (3x/4) + (32/100) × (3x/4)
= 99x/100

Question: A can do a piece of work in 10 days. While B alone can do it in 15 days. They work together for 5 days and the rest of the work is done by C in 2 days. If they get TK. 450 for the whole work, how much money C should get from the whole?

Solution:
A's work of one day is 1/10
B's work of one day is 1/15

A and B's work of 5 days = 5 × (1/10 + 1/15) = 5 × {(3 + 2)/30}
= 5 × (1/6)
= 5/6

Remaining work = (1 - 5/6) = 1/6

The ratio of A, B, C's work = 5/10 : 5/15 : 1/6 = 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/6 = 3 : 2 : 1
∴ C should get = 450 × (1/6) = 75 Taka

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A takes 5 days more than B to do a certain job and 9 days more than C. A and B together can do the job in the same time as C. How many days  A would take to do it?

Solution:
Let
A takes x days to do the job alone.

Then,
B takes (x - 5) days
C takes (x - 9) days.

ATQ,
(1/x) + {1/(x - 5)} = 1/(x - 9)
⇒ {(x - 5) + x}/x(x - 5) = 1/(x - 9)
⇒ (2x - 5)/(x2 - 5x) = 1/(x - 9)
⇒ (2x - 5)(x - 9) = x2 - 5x
⇒ 2x2 - 18x - 5x + 45 = x2 - 5x
⇒ 2x2 - 23x + 45 - x2 + 5x = 0
⇒ x2 - 18x + 45 = 0
⇒ x2 - 15x - 3x + 45 = 0
⇒ x(x - 15) - 3(x - 15) = 0
⇒ (x - 15)(x - 3) = 0
∴ x = 15 or 3

But x ≠ 3 [because (3 - 5) = - 2 not exist]

∴ A takes 15 days to do the job alone.

Question: HCF and LCM of two numbers are 7 and 140 respectively. If the numbers are between 20 and 45, the sum of the numbers is ?

Solution:
Given that, 
HCF and LCM of two numbers are 7 and 140

Let,
The numbers are 7x and 7y
∴ LCM = 7xy

∴ 7xy = 140
⇒ xy = 20
⇒ Possible co-prime factors of xy = (1, 20), (4, 5)
⇒ Numbers are between 20 and 45
∴ Required number are = 4 × 7 = 28 and 5 × 7 = 35
∴ Sum of numbers are = 28 + 35 = 63

So the sum of the numbers is 63.

Question: Due to increase the rate of simple interest from 5% to 7%, the income of Rahim was increased by Tk. 1200 in 3 years. How much was his principal?

Solution:
Let,
His principal = P

ATQ,
{P × (7/100) × 3} - {P × (5/100) × 3} = 1200
⇒ (21P/100) - (15P/100) = 1200
⇒ (21P - 15P)/100 = 1200
⇒ 6P/100 = 1200
⇒ 6P = 1200 × 100
⇒ P = 120000/6
∴ P = 20000

  3. 16 kmph
  4. 20 kmph
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: Two buses start from a bus terminal with a speed of 60 km/h at interval of 15 minutes. What is the speed of a man coming from the opposite direction towards the bus terminal if he meets the buses at interval of 12 minutes?

Solution:
Let Speed of the man is x kmph.
Distance covered in 15 minutes at 60 kmph = distance covered in 12 minutes at (60 + x) kmph.
60 × (15/60) = (12/60)(60 + x)}
900 = 720 + 12x
12x = 180
x = 180/12
x = 15

So the speed of the man coming from the opposite direction is 15kmph

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: If sec θ = 5/4, then what is the value of sinθ?

Solution:
এখানে,
secθ = 5/4 = অতিভুজ/ভূমি
∴ অতিভুজ = 5, ভূমি = 4

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A can do a job in 30 days. B alone can do the same job in 20 days. If A starts the work and joined by B after 10 days, in how many days the job will be done?

Solution:
A's one day work = 1/30
A's ten-day work = (1/30) × 10 = 1/3

So the remaining work would be = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

B's one day work = 1/20
A and B's one day work = 1/30 + 1/20 = (2 + 3)/60 = 5/60 = 1/12

1/12 of the job will be done by them in one day.
So, the remaining job 2/3 will be done in = (2/3) × 12 = 8 days

Therefore, the total number of days required to do the job would be = 10 + 8 = 18 days

If the side of a square is increased by 20%, by what percent will the area be increased?
  1. 21%
  2. 42%
  3. 44%
  4. 20%
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: If the side of a square is increased by 20%, by what percent will the area be increased?

Solution:
Let the original side length = 10 units.

∴ Area = 10 × 10 = 100 square units

Again, 
After a 20% increase, the new side length = 10 + (20% of 10)
= 10 + 2 = 12 units

∴ New area = 12 × 12 = 144 square units

∴ Increase in area = (144 - 100) square units
= 44 square units

∴ Percentage increase in area = (44/100) × 100%
= 44%

So the area will increase by 44%

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A book costs Tk. 750. It is sold after giving three successive discounts of 20%, 15%, and 10%. Find the final price of the book after all discounts.

Solution:
20% discount on 750 = 750 × 20% = Tk. 150

∴ Price after 20% discount = (750 - 150) = Tk. 600

Again,
15% discount on 600 = 600 × 15% = Tk. 90

∴ Price after 15% discount on Tk. 600 = (600 - 90) = Tk. 510

And,
10% discount on 510 = 510 × 10% = Tk. 51

∴ Price after 10% discount on Tk. 510 = (510 - 51) = Tk. 459

∴ the final price of the book after all discounts = Tk. 459

Question: The average weight of A, B and C is 45kg. If the average weight of A and B is 40 kg and that of B and C is 43 kg, then the weight of B is-

Solution: 
Let A, B, C represent their respective weights.

Then, we have:
A + B + C =(45 × 3) = 135..............(i)
A + B = (40 × 2) = 80.................(ii)
B + C=(43 × 2) = 86.................(iii)

Adding (ii) and (iii),
we get: A + 2B + C =80 + 86
A + 2B + C =166 .....(iv)

Subtracting (i) from (iv),
we get:
A + 2B + C - (A + B + C) = 166 - 135 
B = 31

∴ B's weight =31 kg.

So, the age of A = 2 × 10 + 10 = 30

Question: A father is 30 years older than his son. In 10 years, the father will be twice the son’s age. Find the present age of father.

Solution:
Let the present age of the son be x years.
Then the present age of the father = x + 30 years.

In 10 years,
Son’s age = x + 10
Father’s age = x + 30 + 10 = x + 40

According to the problem, father’s age will be twice the son’s age,
x + 40 = 2(x + 10)
⇒ x + 40 = 2x + 20
⇒ 2x - x = 40 - 20
⇒ x = 20

∴ Present ages of father = x + 30 = 20 + 30 = 50

If the average of three consecutive even numbers is 34, find the smallest of these numbers.
  1. 30
  2. 32
  3. 34
  4. 28
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: If the average of three consecutive even numbers is 34, find the smallest of these numbers.

Solution:
Let the first number is x, then the next two even numbers would be x + 2, x + 4

As per question;
(x + x + 2 + x + 4)/3 = 34
⇒ (3x + 6)/3 = 34
⇒ 3x + 6 = 102
⇒ 3x = 96
∴ x = 32

Smallest number would be = 32

প্রশ্ন: হাসান একটি পণ্য বিক্রি করে ২০% লাভ করে। যদি সে উক্ত পণ্যটি ১০% কম দামে কিনত এবং ৪০% লাভে বিক্রি করত, তাহলে সে ২৪ টাকা বেশি পেত। তাঁর প্রকৃত বিক্রয়মূল্য কত ছিল?

সমাধান:
ধরি, প্রকৃত ক্রয়মূল্য = x টাকা
∴ ২০% লাভে বিক্রয়মূল্য = x + x এর ২০%
= x + ২০x/১০০
= ১২০x/১০০
= ১২x/১০
= ৬x/৫

নতুন ক্রয়মূল্য = x − x এর ১০%
= x − ১০x/১০০
= ৯০x/১০০
= ৯x/১০

৪০% লাভে নতুন বিক্রয়মূল্য = (৯x/১০) + (৯x/১০) এর ৪০%
= (৯x/১০) + (৩৬x/১০০)
= (৯০x + ৩৬x)/১০০
= ১২৬x/১০০
= ৬৩x/৫০

প্রশ্নমতে,
নতুন বিক্রয়মূল্য − পূর্ব বিক্রয়মূল্য = ২৪
⇒ ৬৩x/৫০ − ৬x/৫ = ২৪
⇒ (৬৩x - ৬০x)/৫০ = ২৪
⇒ ৩x/৫০ = ২৪
⇒ ৩x = ২৪ × ৫০
⇒ x = (২৪ × ৫০)/৩
∴ x = ৪০০

∴ প্রকৃত বিক্রয়মূল্য = ৬x/৫ = (৬×৪০০)/৫
= ৪৮০ টাকা

The present age of Kajol and Rohit are in the ratio of 7 : 8 respectively. After 6 years, the respective ratio between the age of Kajol and Rohit will be 9 : 10. What is the age of Rohit after 5 years?
  1. ক) 22 years
  2. খ) 24 years
  3. গ) 29 years
  4. ঘ) 34 years
ব্যাখ্যা
Let the present age of Kajol and Rohit is 7x and 8x respectively.
After 6 years, the age of Kajol = 7x + 6
After 6 years, the age of Rohit = 8x + 6
The ratio of age of Kajol and Rohit after 6 years is 9 : 10.
⇒ (7x + 6)/(8x + 6) = 9/10
⇒ 70x + 60 = 72x + 54
⇒ 2x = 6
⇒ x = 3

The age of Rohit after 5 years = 8 × 3 + 5 = 24 + 5 = 29 years

∴The age of Rohit after 5 years is 29 years.
