Question: If C is the midpoint of the points A(2, - 1) and B(8, 5), find the length of AC.

Solution:
দেওয়া আছে,
 A(2, - 1) এবং B(8, 5), 
এবং C হলো AB-এর মধ্যবিন্দু।

দূরত্বের সূত্র ব্যবহার করে AB-এর দৈর্ঘ্য নির্ণয় করি,
AB = √(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2)
= √(8 - 2)2 + {5 - (-1)}2
= √(62 + 62)
= √(36 + 36)
= √72
= √(36 × 2)
= 6√2

C হলো AB এর মধ্যবিন্দু, তাই AC = AB/2
 = 6√2/2
 = 3√2

  3. 11
  4. 12
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: What is the largest number that divides 43, 91, and 183, leaving the same remainder in all three cases?

Solution:
এখানে বৃহত্তম সংখ্যা হচ্ছে সংখ্যাগুলোর পার্থক্যগুলোর H.C.F. (গ.সা.গু)।

প্রথম দুটি সংখ্যার পার্থক্য: 91 - 43 = 48
পরের দুটি সংখ্যার পার্থক্য: 183 - 91 = 92

48 এবং 92 এর মৌলিক উৎপাদক:
48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 24 × 3
92 = 2 × 2 × 23 = 22 × 23

H.C.F. = 22 = 4

∴ নির্ণীত বৃহত্তম সংখ্যা = 4

Question: If a + b = √5 and a - b = √3 the, 8ab(a2 + b2) = ?

Solution:
Given,
a + b = √5
and a - b = √3

∴ 8ab(a2 + b2)
= 4ab × 2(a2 + b2)
= {(a + b)2 - (a - b)2}{(a + b)2 + (a - b)2}
= {(√5)2 - (√3)2}{(√5)2 + (√3)2}
= (5 - 3)(5 + 3)

If the perimeter of a certain rectangle is 76 m and its area is 360 m2, then what is the length of its shortest side?
  1. ক) 13
  2. খ) 15
  3. গ) 18
  4. ঘ) 10
ব্যাখ্যা

We know, Perimeter = 2(l+b) = 76
⇒ (l+b) = 38
⇒ l = 38 - b .....(1)
Given, the area, lb = 360 .....(2)
From (2)
(38 – b)b = 360
⇒ 38b – b2 = 360
⇒ b2 – 38b + 360 = 0
⇒ (b – 20)(b – 18) = 0
So, b = 20 or b = 18
When b = 20, l = 18 and when b = 18, l = 20.
∴ the shorter side is 18.

A jacket is sold after providing two successive discounts of 15%. If the marked price of the jacket is Tk. 400, find the selling price.
  1. Tk. 270
  2. Tk. 276
  3. Tk. 281
  4. Tk. 289
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A jacket is sold after providing two successive discounts of 15%. If the marked price of the jacket is Tk. 400, find the selling price.

Solution:
First Discount:
Discount 1 = 400 × (15/100) = Tk. 60
Selling Price after 1st Discount = 400 - 60 = Tk. 340

Second Discount:
Discount 2 = 340 × (15/100) = Tk. 51
Selling Price after 2nd Discount = 340 - 51 = Tk. 289

So, the selling price of the jacket after two successive discounts of 15% is Tk. 289.

Three unbiased coins are tossed. What is the probability of getting at least 2 tails?
  1. 1/2
  2. 3/4
  3. 1/8
  4. 2/3
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: Three unbiased coins are tossed. What is the probability of getting at least 2 tails?

Solution:
When three fair (unbiased) coins are tossed, the total number of possible outcomes = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8.
{HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT} 

And all possible outcomes are, {HTT, THT, TTH, TTT} = 4

∴ Probability = (number of favorable outcomes)/(total possible outcomes)
= 4/8
= 1/2

So the probability of getting at least 2 tails is 1/2.

  4. 2/3
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A can complete a work in 6 days while B can complete the same work in 12 days. If they work together and complete it, the portion of the work done by B is-

Solution:
A এর 1 দিনের কাজ = 1/6 অংশ
B এর 1 দিনের কাজ = 1/12 অংশ

তারা একত্রে 1 দিনের কাজ = (1/6) + (1/12) 
= (2 + 1)/12
= 3/12
= 1/4

তারা একত্রে 1/4 অংশ কাজ করে = 1 দিনে
তারা 1 বা সম্পূর্ণ অংশ  কাজ করে = 1/(1/4) = 4 দিনে

∴ B এর দ্বারা সম্পূর্ণ কাজের অংশ = 4 × (1/12) = 1/3

Question: Lex has Tk. 1780.80 in his savings account that he opened 6 years ago. His account has an annual interest rate of 6.8% compounded annually. How much money did Lex use to open his savings account?

Solution:
We know that,
A = P[1+(R/100)]n
⇒ 1780.80 = P[1 + 6.8/100]6
⇒ 1780.80 = P[1 + 0.068]6
⇒ 1780.80 = 1.484P
⇒ P = 1780.80/1.484
∴ P = 1200

Question: Three pipes A, B and C can fill a tank in 6 hours. After working at it together for 2 hours, C is closed and A and B can fill the remaining part in 7 hours. The number of hours taken by C alone to fill the tank is-

Solution:
Part time in 2 hours = 6/2 = 1/3
Remaining part = (1 - 1/3) = 2/3
∴ (A + B)'s 7 hour's work = 2/3
(A + B)'s 1 hour's work = 2/21

∴ C's hour's work= {(A + B + C)'s 1 hour's work} - {(A + B)'s 1 hour's work}
= 1/6 - 2/21
= (7 - 4)/42
= 3/42
= 1/14
 
∴ C alone can fill the tank in 14 hours.

  4. Data Inadequate
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: The difference between the length and the perimeter of a rectangle is 100 cms. What is the breadth of the rectangle?

Solution:
Let the length of the rectangle be 'x' and breadth of the rectangle be 'y'
According to the question:
2(x + y) - x = 100
⇒ 2x + 2y - x = 100
⇒ x + 2y = 100

From this we cannot find 'y' (breadth), so the given data is inadequate.

Question: Mr. Rifat divides Tk. 1573 such that 4 times the 1st share, thrice the 2nd share and twice the third share amount to the same. Then the value of the 2nd share is-

Solution:
Total amount = Tk. 1573
Let,
The shares are A, B and C 
Here,
4A = 3B = 2C.
Now,
4A = 3B
∴ B = 4A/3

4A = 2C
∴ C = 2A

∴ A : B : C = A : 4A/3 : 2A
= 1 : 4/3 : 2
= 3 : 4 : 6

The value of the 2nd share = (4/13) × 1573 = Tk. 484

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: If x2 - 3x + 1 = 0, what is the value of x2 - 1/x2?

Solution:
Given that,
x2 - 3x + 1 = 0
⇒ x2 + 1 = 3x
⇒ x + 1/x = 3 [Divided by x]

Now, 
x - 1/x = √{(x + 1/x)2 - 4.x.(1/x)}
= √{32 - 4}
= √(9 - 4)
= √5

So,
x2 - 1/x2 = (x + 1/x)(x - 1/x)
= 3√5

Question: A group of boys and girls are participating in a tennis tournament. In Round 1, each boy plays against every other boy. In Round 2, each girl competes with all other girls. In the following round, each boy plays a match against every girl. If the number of matches played in Rounds 1 and 2 were 120 and 91 respectively, how many matches will be played in this third round?

Solution:
Let x be the number of girl players.
Let y be the number of boy players.

Now,
xC2 = 91
⇒ x!/2!(x - 2)!) = 91
⇒ x(x - 1) = 182
⇒ x2 - x - 182 = 0
⇒ x2 - 14x + 13x - 182 = 0
⇒ x(x - 14) + 13(x - 14) = 0
⇒ (x - 14)(x + 13) = 0
∴ x = 14
There are 14 girl players.

And
yC2 = 120
⇒ y!/2!(y - 2)! = 120
⇒ y2 - y - 240 = 0
⇒ y2 - 16y + 15y - 240 = 0
⇒ y(y - 16) + 15(y - 16) = 0
⇒ (y - 16)(y + 15) = 0
∴ y = 16
There are 16 boy players.

Number of matches between each boy and each girl = 14C1 × 16C1 = 14 × 16 = 224
Therefore, the required answer is 224.

Question:  Man could not decide between discount of 30% or two successive discounts of 25% and 5%, both given on a shopping of Tk. 2,000. What is the difference between both the discounts?
Solution: 
বাজার খরচ = Tk. 2000

১ম শর্তমতে∶
শতকরা ছাড় = 30%
ছাড়  = 30% of 2000 = 30/100 × 2000 = Tk. 600

২য় শর্তমতে ∶
১ম শতাংশ ছাড় = 25%
১ম ছাড় = 25% of 2000 = 25/100 × 2000 = Tk. 500

প্রথম ছাড়ের পর বাজার খরচ = 2000 – 500 = Tk. 1500

২য় শতাংশ ছাড় = 5%
২য় ছাড় = 5/100 × 1500 = Tk. 75

সম্পূর্ণ ছাড় = 500 + 75 = Tk. 575

∴ উভয় শর্তে ছাড়  = 600 – 575 = Tk.25

  3. 580 sq. m.
  4. None of these 
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: The length of a rectangle is thrice its breath, and its perimeter is 120 meters. What is its area?

Solution:
Let the breath = x
So, the Length = 3x

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth)
So, 2(3x + x) = 120
⇒ 6x + 2x = 120
⇒ 8x = 120
∴ x = 120/8 = 15

Now, Breadth = 15
so, length = 15 × 3 = 45

So, its area = Length × Breadth = 45 × 15 = 675 sq. m.

Therefore, the upper opening has to be excluded from the total area.
Here,
Length = 6 m
Width = 4 m
Height = 1 m 25 cm = 1.25 m

So, the area of total wet surface = 2{(6 × 4) + (4 × 1.25) + (6 × 1.25)} - (6 × 4)

  4. ঘ) None of the above
ব্যাখ্যা

Income ratio = Ratul : Sajib = 5 : 6 = 5/6
Common factor helps in finding actual values easily
So, take 'A' as a common factor.
Income of Ratul = 5A; Income of Sajib = 6A
(Expenses of Ratul)/(Expenses of Sajib) = (Ratul Income - Ratul Saving)/(Sajib Income -Sajib Saving) = 7/9
Since Ratul save, Tk. 1000/- more than Sajib, Ratul's savings = Tk. 4000/-
5A - 4000/6A - 3000 = 7/9
∴ 9(5A-4000) = 7(6A-3000)
∴ A = 5000
Income of Ratul = 5A = 25000 ; Income of Sajib = 6A = 30000
Spending of Ratul =25000 - 4000 = 21000
Spending of Sajib = 30000 - 3000 = 27000.

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: If α and β are positive acute angles, sin(4α - β) = 1 and cos(2α + β) = 1/2, then the value of (α + 2β) is?

Solution:
Given,
sin(4α - β) = 1
⇒ sin(4α - β) = sin 90°
⇒ 4α - β = 90° ..... (1)

again, cos(2α + β) = 1/2
⇒ cos(2α + β) = cos 60°
⇒ 2α + β = 60° .... (2)

(1) + (2) ⇒ 4α - β + 2α + β = 90° + 60°
⇒ 6α = 150°
⇒ α = 25°
From (2), β = 60° - (2 × 25°) = 10°
∴ (α + 2β) = 25° + (2 × 10°) = 45°

Question: The distance between A and B is 30 km. A boat makes a return journey from point A to point B and back in 10 hours 30 minutes. One way it travels with the stream and on the return it travels against the stream. If the speed of the stream increases by 2 km/hr, the return journey takes 17 hours 30 minutes. What is the speed of the boat in still water?

Solution:
Let, 
x km/hr be the speed of boat upstream
y km/hr be the speed of boat downstream

∴ 30/x + 30/y = 10 hours 30 minutes = 10.5 hour = 105/10 hour = 21/2
⇒ 30/x + 30/y = 21/2
⇒ 60/x + 60/y = 21
⇒ 20/x + 20/y = 7
⇒ 20/x = 7 - 20/y
⇒  20/x = (7y - 20)/y
⇒ x/20 = y/(7y - 20)
∴ x = 20y/(7y - 20) ............(1)


If the speed of the stream increases by 2 km/hr
30/(x - 2) + 30/(y + 2) = 17 hours 30 minutes = 17.5 hour = 175/10 = 35/2
⇒ 30/(x - 2) + 30/(y + 2) = 35/2
⇒ 60/(x - 2) + 60/(y + 2) = 35
⇒ 12/(x - 2) + 12/(y + 2) = 7
⇒ 12/(x - 2) = 7 - 12/(y + 2)
⇒ 12/(x - 2) = (7y + 14 -12)/(y + 2)
⇒ 12/(x - 2) = (7y + 2)/(y + 2)
⇒ (x - 2)/12 = (y + 2)/(7y + 2)
⇒ x - 2 = (12y + 24)/(7y + 2)
⇒ x = (12y + 24)/(7y + 2) + 2
⇒ x = (12y + 24 + 14y + 4)/(7y + 2)
∴ x = (26y + 28)/(7y + 2) ...............(2)

From (1) and (2) we get,
20y/(7y - 20) = (26y + 28)/(7y + 2)
⇒ 20y(7y + 2) = (26y + 28)(7y - 20)
⇒ 140y2 + 40y = 182y2 - 324y - 560
⇒ 42y2 - 364y - 560 = 0
⇒ 3y2 - 26y - 40 = 0
⇒ 3y2 - 30y + 4y - 40 = 0
⇒ 3y(y - 10) + 4(y - 10) = 0
⇒ (y - 10)(3y + 4) = 0
∴ y = 10 or  y = - 4/3 [which is not acceptable]
∴ y =10

From (1) we get 
x = 20y/(7y - 20)
= 200/(70 - 20)
= 4 
 
∴ The speed of the boat in still water = (10 + 4)/2 km/hr
= 7 km/hr

Question: The value of a machine depreciates every year by 10%. If its present value is Tk. 50000 then the value of the machine after 2 years is?

solution:
Given that,
Present value of machine = 50000
Depreciation rate = 10%
And year = 2

Now,
After first year value of machine = (100 - 10)% of 50000 = (90/100) × 50000 = Tk. 45000
And after 2 years value of machine = (100 - 10)% of 45000 = (90/100) × 45000 = Tk. 40500

∴ value of machine after 2 years is Tk. 40500

Question: A swimmer can swim at a speed of 4 km/h in still water. If the river current flows at 2 km/h, how long will it take to swim 12 km downstream and then return to the starting point?

Solution: 
Speed of the swimmer in still water = 4 km/h
Speed of the current = 2 km/h
Distance one way = 12 km

Downstream Speed = 4 + 2 = 6 km/h
Upstream Speed = 4 - 2 = 2 km/h 

Time taken downstream = 12/6 = 2 hours
Time taken upstream = 12/2 = 6 hours

∴ Total time = 6 + 2 
= 8 hours

প্রশ্ন: একটি হীরার কোম্পানির মালিক চুরি রোধ করার জন্য তিন স্তর বিশিষ্ট সুরক্ষা গ্রহণ করলো, যেখানে হীরা পর্যন্ত পৌঁছাতে বা হীরা নিয়ে বের হতে একটি চোরকে তিন দরজার তিন জন দাড়োয়ানকে অতিক্রম করতে হয়। কৌশলে একটি চোর কোম্পানিতে ঢুকে কিছু হীরার রিং চুরি করে বের হওয়ার সময় প্রত্যেক দাড়োয়ানকে তার কাছে থাকা রিং-এর ১/২ অংশের চেয়ে ২টি বেশি রিং দিতে হলো। চোরটি একটি রিং নিয়ে পালালে, কতগুলো হীরার রিং চুরি করেছিল?

সমাধান:
 ধরি,
সে হীরা চুরি করেছিল = ক টি

তাহলে, ১ম দাড়োয়ানকে দিল = (ক/২) + ২ = (ক + ৪)/২ টি
অবশিষ্ট থাকলো = ক - {(ক + ৪)/২} = (ক - ৪)/২ টি

২য় দাড়োয়ানকে দিল = {(ক - ৪)/৪} + ২ = (ক + ৪)/৪ টি
অবশিষ্ট রইলো = {(ক - ৪)/২} - {(ক + ৪)/৪} = (ক - ১২)/৪ টি

৩য় দাড়োয়ানকে দিল = {(ক - ১২)/৮} + ২ = (ক + ৪)/৮ টি
অবশিষ্ট রইলো = {(ক - ১২)/৪} - {(ক + ৪)/৮} = (ক - ২৮)/৮

প্রশ্নমতে,
(ক - ২৮)/৮ = ১
⇒ ক - ২৮ = ৮
⇒ ক = ৩৬
সুতরাং, সে ৩৬ টি হীরার রিং চুরি করেছিল।

Question: Daud is younger to Rohan by 9 years. If their ages are in the respective ratio of 4 : 5, how old is Daud?

Solution:
Let Rohan's age be x years.
Then,
Daud's age = (x - 9) years.

ATQ,
(x - 9)/x = 4/5

Question: In an election 4% of votes cast are invalid. A candidate gets 55% of casted votes and wins the election by 4800 votes. Find the total number of votes casted.

Solution:
বিজয়ী প্রার্থী ভোট পায়= 55%
বৈধ ভোট = (100 - 4)% = 96%

বিজয়ী প্রার্থী বৈধ ভোটের শতকরা পায় = (55 × 96)/100
= 52.8%

পরাজিত প্রার্থী ভোট পায় = (96 - 52.8)%

বিজয়ী প্রার্থী ও পরাজিত প্রার্থীর ভোটের পার্থক্য = (52.8 - 43.2)%
= 9.6%

প্রশ্নমতে
9.6% = 4800
1% = 4800/9.6
100% = (4800 × 100)/9.6

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: A batsman makes a score of 80 runs in the 16th innings and increases average by 3. What is his average after 16th innings?

Solution: 
Assume his initial average after 15 innings = x
His total runs after 15 innings = 15x

After scoring 80 runs his average got increased by 3 to x + 3
So his total runs after 16 innings= 16 × (x +3)

But it was given that the difference in the total scores after 15 innings and 16 innings =80
16×(x + 3) - 15X=80
16x + 48 - 15x = 80 
x + 48 = 80
x = 32 

His average after 16th innings is = 32 + 3 = 3 = 35

Question: The difference between two integers is 4. If their product is 221, then the sum of the two numbers is?

Solution:
Let the two integers be x and y
The difference between the two integers is 4,
∴ x - y = 4 and their product is, xy = 221

We know,
⇒ (x + y)2 = (x - y)2 + 4xy
⇒ (x + y)2 = 42 + (4 × 221)
⇒ (x + y)2 = 16 + 884
⇒ (x + y)2 = 900
⇒ x + y = √900
∴ x + y = 30

∴ The sum of the two numbers is 30

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A person wants an annual income of Tk 2,400 from a stock paying 8% dividend. If the market price of the Tk 100 stock is Tk 120, how much should he invest?

Solution:
→ Calculate Dividend per Share (প্রতি শেয়ারে লভ্যাংশ):
Dividend is paid on face value, not market price.
Dividend per share = Face value × Dividend rate
= Tk 100 × 8%
= Tk 8/share/year.

→ Determine Number of Shares Needed (প্রয়োজনীয় শেয়ার সংখ্যা):
To earn Tk 2,400/year with Tk 8/share/year:
Number of shares = Total desired income ÷ Dividend per share
= 2,400 ÷ 8
= 300 shares.

→ Calculate Total Investment (মোট বিনিয়োগ):
Each share costs Tk 120 (market price).
Total investment = Number of shares × Market price
= 300 × Tk 120
= Tk 36,000.

  1. ক) 2 hr 40 min
  2. খ) 3 hr 20 min
  3. গ) 4 hr 20 min
  4. ঘ) 2 hr 20 min
ব্যাখ্যা

Let,
The distance be x km.
Then,
Time taken to cover x km by cycle + Time taken to cover x km by scooter = 6 hr 30 min
⇒ (Time taken to cover 2x km by cycle) + (Time taken to cover 2x km by scooter) = 13 hrs
But,
Time taken to cover 2x km by cycle = 8 hr 40 min.
∴ Time Taken to cover 2x km by scooter = 13 hrs - 8 hr 40 min
= 4 hr 20 min.
Hence, required time = 4 hours 20 min.

Question: Nehal's regular pay is Tk 25 per hour up to 40 hours. Overtime is twice the payment for regular times. If he was paid Tk 1800, how many hours overtime did he work?

Solution:
Nehal’s regular wage for 40 hours = (25 × 40) = 1000 Taka.
Amount earned from overtime = (1800 - 1000) Taka = 800 Taka.
Since the overtime rate is twice the regular hourly wage,
Total overtime hours worked = 800 ÷ (25 × 2) hours
= 16 hours.

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: If tomorrow is Friday, what day of the week will it be after 46 days?

Solution: 
Given that,
Tomorrow is Friday, then today is Thursday

Days of the week repeat every 7 days. So, find the remainder when 46 is divided by 7.
So 46 ÷ 7 = 6 weeks + 4 days remainder.
So the day will move 4 days forward. 

Count 4 days from Thursday,

Question: A train passes two bridges of length 800 m and 400 m in 100 seconds and 60 seconds respectively. The length of the train is -

Solution:
Let length of the train be x m and speed of the train is s kmph.
Speed, s = (x + 800)/100 . . . . . (i)
Speed, s = (x + 400)/60. . . . . (ii) 

Equating equation (i) and (ii),
we get,
(x + 800)/100 = (x + 400)/60
Or, (x + 800)/5 = (x + 400)/3
Or, 5x + 2000 = 3x + 2400
Or, 2x = 400
∴ x = 200m

∴ The length of the train is 200 meters.

Total cost of the computer = Tk. 39000
Down payment = Tk. 17000
Balance = Tk. (39000 - 17000) = Tk. 22000.
Let the rate of interest be R% p.a.
Amount of Tk. 22000 for 5 months
= {22000 + 22000 × (5/12) × R/100}

= Tk. (4800 × 5) + S.I. on Tk. 4800 for (4 + 3 + 2 + 1) months
= Tk. 24000 + S.I. on Tk. 4800 for 10 months
= 24000 × 4800 × R × (10/12) × (1/100)
= (24000 + 40 R)

∴ {22000 + (275R/3)} = (24000 + 40 R)

Solution:
Let efficiency of one man = M
Let efficiency of one woman = W

ATQ,
(2M + 5W) × 3 = 1/4 of work
⇒ 6M + 15W = 1/4  ... (1)

and, (3M + 4W) × 2 = 1/4

Subtracting these equations
7W = 0 ⇒ W = 0
Substituting in equation (2)
6M = 1/4
M = 1/24

For 4 men to complete full work, Time taken = 1/(4 × M)
= 1/{4 × (1/24)
= 24/4
= 6
∴ 4 men will take 6 days to complete the project alone.

Question: If your car runs from A to B at 60 km/hr and on returning from B to A, it is 40 km/hr, then average speed in km/hr of the car will be-

Solution:
Given that,
The speed of the car is travelling and the returning are 60 km/hr and 40 km/hr

We know,
Average speed = Total distance/Total time

Time = Distance/Speed

Now,
Let the distance between A and B be x

∴ Total time = (x/60) + (x/40)
= (2x + 3x)/120
= 5x/120 = x/24
∴ Total time = x/24

And total distance = x + x = 2x

Question: A shopkeeper sells a pair of sunglasses at a profit of 25%. If he had bought it at 25% less and sold it for Tk. 10 less, he would have gained 40%. Determine the cost price of the pair of sunglasses.

Solution:
ধরি,
ক্রয়মূল্য = 100 টাকা
25% লাভে বিক্রয়মূল্য = 100 + 25 = 125 টাকা
25% কমে ক্রয়মূল্য = 100 - 25 = 75 টাকা

আবার,
40% লাভে বিক্রয়মূল্য = {75 + 75 × (40/100)}
= 105 টাকা
বিক্রয়মূল্য কম হয় = (125 - 105) টাকা
= 20 টাকা

এখন,
২০ টাকা বিক্রয়মূল্য কম হয় ক্রয়মূল্য = 100 টাকায়
∴ 10 টাকা বিক্রয়মূল্য কম হয় ক্রয়মূল্য = (100 × 10)/20 টাকায়
= 50 টাকা

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: Find the compound interest at the rate of 20% for 3 years on that principal which in 2 years at the rate of 10% per annum gives Tk.10500 as compound interest. (when compounded annually)

Solution:
Let,
P = Principal, R = rate of interest and T = time period

Annual compound interest formula is:
C.I. = P(1 + R/100)T - P
Given,
R = 10% and T = 2
⇒ 10500 = P(1 + 10/100)2 - P
⇒ 10500 = 0.21P
⇒ P = 50000

∴ Principal = Tk. 50000

Then,
R = 20% and T = 3
C.I. = 50000(1 + 20/100)3 - 50000
= 50000(1.2)3 - 50000
= 36400

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: Traveling at 108 kilometers per hour, a 120-meter train will cross a railway platform that is 210 meters long in…

Solution:
Here,
Speed of the running train = 108 km/hr
= {108 × (5/18)} m/sec
= 30 m/sec

And length of the train is = 120 metres
Length of platform = 210 m

So, the time will taken by the train = (Length of train + Length of platform)/Speed
= (120 + 210)/30
= 330/30 
= 11 sec

If a train stops on the way, its speed is 35 km/hr but if it doesn't, its speed is 40 km/hr. Find the number of minutes the train halts per hour.
  1. ক) 4 minutes
  2. খ) 6 minutes
  3. গ) 7.5 minutes
  4. ঘ) 8 minutes
ব্যাখ্যা

The difference in speed due to stopping = Speed without stoppage - Speed with stoppage
∴ Difference = 40-35 = 5km/hr
Thus, in 1-hour train covers 5 km less.

Time taken to cover 4km = 5km/(40 km/hr)
= 1/8 hours.
= (1/8 × 60) minutes.
= 7.5 minutes.

Hence, The train halts 7.5 minutes per hour.

Question: One year ago, the ratio between Fahim and Rohan's ages was 3 : 2. One year hence, the ratio of their age will be 4 : 3. What is the sum of their present ages in years?

Solution:
ধরি, এক বছর আগে ফাহিমের বয়স ছিল 3x বছর এবং রোহানের বয়স ছিল 2x বছর।
বর্তমানে ফাহিমের বয়স = (3x + 1) বছর
বর্তমানে রোহানের বয়স = (2x + 1) বছর

এক বছর পর তাদের বয়সের অনুপাত হবে 4 : 3
∴ এক বছর পর ফাহিমের বয়স হবে = (3x + 1) + 1 = (3x + 2) বছর
∴ এক বছর পর রোহানের বয়স হবে = (2x + 1) + 1 = (2x + 2) বছর

প্রশ্নমতে,
(3x + 2)/(2x + 2) = 4/3
⇒ 3(3x + 2) = 4(2x + 2)
⇒ 9x + 6 = 8x + 8
⇒ 9x - 8x = 8 - 6
⇒ x = 2

সুতরাং, বর্তমানে ফাহিমের বয়স = (3 × 2) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7 বছর
এবং বর্তমানে রোহানের বয়স = (2 × 2) + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5 বছর
∴ তাদের বর্তমান বয়সের যোগফল = 7 + 5 = 12 বছর।

Question: A man can row 9 km/hr in still water and he finds that it takes him twice as long to row upstream as to row downstream the river. Find the rate of the stream.

Solution: 
Let, the speed of the current be x km/hr
Thus upstream speed = (9 - x) km/h and
downstream speed = (9 + x) km/hr

Let distance traveled be y

Then,
y/(9 - x) = 2y/(9 + x)
1/(9 - x) = 2/(9 + x)
9 + x = 18 - 2x
x + 2x = 18 - 9
3x = 9
x = 3 

the speed of the current be 3 km/hr.
= 3 km/hr.

A shopkeeper sells a pen-drive by 5% discount. In 8% discount, he earns Tk.15. What is the marked price of the pen-drive?
  1. ক) Tk. 500
  2. খ) Tk. 750
  3. গ) Tk. 780
  4. ঘ) Tk. 820
ব্যাখ্যা
Suppose, marked price of the pen-drive is Tk. x
At 5% discount, selling price of pen-drive = (100 - 5)x = Tk. 95x
At 8% discount, selling price of pen-drive = (100 - 8)x = Tk. 92x
Therefore,
95% of x - 92% of x = 15
⇒ 95x/100 - 92x/100 = 15
⇒ 3x = 1500
⇒ x = 500
