Question: A contract is to be finished in 46 days and 117 men involved in it, each working 8 hours per day. After 33 days, 4/7 of the work is finished, how many additional men may be employed so that it may be completed in time, each man now working 9 hours a day?

Question:
let the total work be W need to be completed in 46 days

117 men working 33 days 8 hours completed 4/7 of W that means 3/7 of W is left.

117 × 33 × 8 = 4W/7 .........(1)

let x men added to complete the 3/7 of W in 13 days (Total 46 days ,33 already over.) working 9 hours.

(117 + x) × 13 × 9 = 3W/7 ...........(2)

dividing (1) and (2)
(117 × 33 × 8)/{(117 + x) × 13 × 9} = (4W/7)/(3W/7)
⇒ 264/(117 + x) = 4/3
⇒ 468 + 4x = 792
⇒ 4x = 324
⇒ x = 324/4
∴ x = 81

৭% ক্ষতিতে,
ক্রয়মূল্য ১০০ টাকা হলে বিক্রয়মূল্য = (১০০ - ৭) টাকা 
                                                       = ৯৩ টাকা 

১০% কমে,
দ্রব্যটির ক্রয়মূল্য = (১০০ - ১০) টাকা = ৯০ টাকা 
২০% লাভে,
ক্রয়মূল্য ১০০ টাকা হলে বিক্রয়মূল্য = (৯০ + ৯০ এর ২০%) টাকা 
                                                      = (৯০ + ৯০ এর ২০/১০০) টাকা 
                                                      = ১০৮  টাকা 

বিক্রয়মূল্য বেশি = (১০৮ - ৯৩) টাকা  = ১৫ টাকা 

১৫ টাকা বিক্রয়মূল্য বেশি যখন ক্রয়মূল্য ১০০ টাকা 
১ টাকা বিক্রয়মূল্য বেশি যখন ক্রয়মূল্য ১০০/১৫ টাকা 
৪৫  টাকা বিক্রয়মূল্য বেশি যখন ক্রয়মূল্য (১০০ × ৪৫)/১৫ টাকা 
                                                             = ৩০০ টাকা

Question: There are two poles, one on each side of the road. The higher pole is 54 m high. From the top of this pole, the angle of depression of the top and bottom of the shorter pole is 30° and 60° respectively. Find the height of the shorter pole.

Solution:

Let AB and CD be the two poles.
Let AC = x m
CD = h m

Now, in triangle ABC,
tan60° = AB/AC
⇒ √3 = 54/AC
∴ AC = 18√3 m

Clearly, AC = DE = 18√3 m

In triangle BED,
tan30° = BE/DE
⇒ BE = DE tan 30
⇒ BE = 18 √3 / √3 m
⇒ BE = 18 m
⇒ CD = AE = AB - BE
⇒ CD = 54 - 18 = 36 m

Therefore, the height of the shorter pole = 36 m.

(৭০ জন ছাত্র-ছাত্রী ধারণ করার জন্য একটি বিদ্যালয় কক্ষ তৈরি করা হবে, যেখানে প্রতিটি শিশুর জন্য ২.২ বর্গমিটার মেঝে এবং ১১ ঘনমিটার স্থান থাকবে। কক্ষটির দৈর্ঘ্য ১৪ মিটার হলে, তার প্রস্থ এবং উচ্চতা কত হবে?)

Solution:
দেওয়া আছে,
ছাত্র সংখ্যা = ৭০
প্রতিটি ছাত্রের জন্য:
মেঝের ক্ষেত্রফল = ২.২ বর্গ মিটার
স্থান (ঘন মিটার): ১১ ঘন মিটার
রুমটির দৈর্ঘ্য = ১৪ মিটার

প্রতিটি ছাত্রের জন্য ২.২ বর্গ মিটার মেঝে স্থান প্রয়োজন। তাহলে, ৭০ জন ছাত্রের জন্য মোট মেঝে এলাকা হবে:
মোট মেঝের ক্ষেত্রফল = ৭০ × ২.২ = ১৫৪ বর্গ মিটার

প্রতিটি ছাত্রের জন্য ১১ ঘন মিটার স্থান প্রয়োজন। তাহলে, ৭০ জন ছাত্রের জন্য মোট স্থান হবে:
মোট স্থান = ৭০ × ১১ = ৭৭০ ঘন মিটার

রুমটির দৈর্ঘ্য দেওয়া আছে L = ১৪ মিটার, প্রস্থ b এবং উচ্চতা h বের করতে হবে।

মেঝের ক্ষেত্রফল হলো দৈর্ঘ্য এবং প্রস্থের গুণফল:
মেঝের ক্ষেত্রফল = দৈর্ঘ্য × প্রস্থ = ১৪ × b
১৪ × b = ১৫৪
এটি থেকে b বের করি:
b = ১৫৪ / ১৪ = ১১ মিটার

তাহলে, রুমটির প্রস্থ ১১ মিটার।

রুমটির মোট স্থান হলো দৈর্ঘ্য, প্রস্থ এবং উচ্চতার গুণফল:
স্থান = দৈর্ঘ্য × প্রস্থ × উচ্চতা = ১৪ × ১১ × h
১৪ × ১১ × h = ৭৭০

এটি থেকে h বের করি:
১৫৪ × h = ৭৭০
h = ৭৭০ / ১৫৪ = ৫ মিটার

তাহলে, রুমটির উচ্চতা ৫ মিটার।

চূড়ান্ত উত্তর:
রুমটির প্রস্থ ১১ মিটার।
রুমটির উচ্চতা ৫ মিটার।

If selling price is doubled, the profit sextuples. Find the profit percent?
  1. 25%
  2. 50%
  3. 75%
  4. None of these
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: If selling price is doubled, the profit sextuples. Find the profit percent?

Solution:
Let,
The cost price be Tk.100 and sell price be Tk. x,
Then,
The profit is (x - 100)

Now, The sell price is doubled, then the new sell price is 2x
New profit is (2x - 100)

ATQ,
6(x - 100) = 2x - 100
⇒ 6x - 600 = 2x - 100
⇒ 6x - 2x = 600 - 100
⇒ 4x = 500
∴ x = 125

Then the Profit = (125 - 100) = 25
Hence the profit percentage is = (25/100) × 100 %
= 25%

Question: A garrison of 600 men had provisions for 30 days. After 3 days a reinforcement of 300 men arrived. How many days will the remaining food last now?

Solution:
After 3 days, food having for = (30 - 3) = 27 days
After arriving 300 men, total men = (600 + 300) = 900 men

600 men can eat the food for 27 days
∴ 1 man can eat the food for (27 × 600) days
∴ 900 men can eat the food for (27 × 600)/900 days
= 18 days

Question: A 6-digit security code is made using digits from 0 to 9. The first and the last digits are known. If the remaining four digits are known to be primes, at the most how many trials are required to determine the code?

Solution:
Given that,
A 6-digit security code is made using digits from 0 to 9. The first and the last digits are known. The remaining four digits are prime numbers.

∴ Prime numbers between 0 and 9 is 2, 3, 5, 7

Now,
The total number of choices for each of the four remaining digits = 4 (since there are 4 prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7)
∴ Total combinations = 4 × 4 × 4 × 4
⇒ Total combinations = 44
⇒ Total combinations = 256

Question: What is the difference between simple and compound interest at 8% per annum on a sum of Tk. 12,500 at the end of 2 years?

Solution:
Here,
Principal, P = 12500 Tk.
Interest Rate, R = 8%
Time, T = 2 years

We know,
Simple Interest, SI = PRT/100
= (12500 × 8 × 2)/100
= 200000/100
= 2000 Tk.

For Compound Interest,
Amount, A = P{1 + (R/100)}T
= 12500{1 + (8/100)}2
= 12500(1.08)2
= 12500 × 1.1664
= 14580 Tk.

∴ CI = A - P
= 14580 - 12500
= 2080 Tk.

∴ Difference between compound interest and simple interest,
= 2080 - 2000
= 80 Tk.

A merchant has 1200 kg of rice, part of which he sells at 10% profit and the rest at 20% profit. If his overall gain is 16%, find the quantity of rice he sold at 20% profit.

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: A merchant has 1200 kg of rice, part of which he sells at 10% profit and the rest at 20% profit. If his overall gain is 16%, find the quantity of rice he sold at 20% profit.

Solution: 
Let the cost price per kg = Tk. x
∴ Total cost price = 1200x
Again,
Let the rice sold at 10% profit = y kg
Then the rice sold at 20% profit = (1200 - y) kg

Now,
Selling price of y kg at 10% profit,
SP1 = (y × x) × (110/100)
= 110xy/100

Selling price of (1200 - y) kg at 20% profit,
SP2 = (1200 - y) × (x) × (120/100)
= 120x(1200 - y)/100

Total Selling Price, SP = SP1 + SP2 
= (110xy/100) + 120x(1200 - y)/100
= {110xy + 120x(1200 - y)}/100

Now,
Overall profit is 16%,
So, total SP =1200x × (116/100)
= 139200x/100

Now equating both total selling prices:
{110xy + 120x(1200 - y)}/100 = 139200x/100
⇒ 110xy + 120x(1200 - y) = 139200x
⇒ 110xy + 144000x - 120xy = 139200x
⇒ - 10xy = - 4800x
⇒ y = 4800x/10x
∴ y = 480 

So, rice sold at 20% profit = 1200 - y
= 1200 - 480 = 720 kg

মোট লাভ = x টাকা

প্রশ্নমতে,
x - (x/3 + x/4) = 5000
⇒ x - (4x + 3x)/12 = 5000
⇒ x - 7x/12 = 5000
⇒ (12x - 7x)/12 = 5000
⇒ 5x/12 = 5000
⇒ 5x = 5000 × 12
⇒ x = (5000 × 12)/5
∴ x = 12000

∴ B পায় = (12000 × 1/4) টাকা = 3000 টাকা

Question: A fraction becomes 1/2 when 1 is added to both its numerator and denominator, and it becomes 1/4 when 1 is subtracted from both the numerator and denominator. Find the fraction. 

Solution: 
Let the required fraction is x/y 
Then,
(x + 1)/(y + 1) = 1/2
⇒ 2x + 2 = y + 1
∴ 2x - y = -1 ........(i)

And
(x - 1)/(y - 1) = 1/4
⇒ 4x - 4 = y - 1
⇒ 4x - y = 4 - 1
∴ 4x - y = 3 ........(ii)

Now, 
Multiplying (i) by 2 then subtracting (ii) from (i) we get, 
-2y + y = - 2 - 3
⇒ -y = - 5
∴ y = 5

Putting the value of y in (i) we get,
2x - 5 = - 1
⇒ 2x = - 1 + 5
⇒ 2x = 4
∴ x = 2 

So, the required fraction = 2/5

Question: The simple interest accrued on an amount of Tk 20000 at the end of 2 years is Tk. 3600. What would be the compound interest accrued on the same amount at the same rate in the same period?

Solution:
We know that,
simple interest = (P × r × n)/100

​Where:
Principal amount, P = Tk 20000
Rate of interest, r =?
Time, n = 2 years

∴ simple interest = (P × r × n)/100
⇒ 3600 = (20000 × r × 2)/100
⇒  r = (3600 × 100)/(20000 × 2)
⇒ r = 9% per annum

We know that,
Compound Interest = P(1+r)n − P
= 20000(1+9/100​)2 − 20000
= 20000(1.09)2 − 20000
= 20000 × 1.1881 − 20000
= 23762 − 20000
= 3762

∴ The compound interest accrued on the same amount at the same rate in 2 years is Tk 3762.

Question: If the sum of two positive integers is 24 and the difference of their squares is 48, what is the product of the two integers?

Solution:
Let the values = x and y
So, x + y = 24

x2 - y2 = 48
⇒ (x + y)(x - y) = 48
⇒ (24)(x - y) = 48
∴ (x - y) = 2

We now have:
x + y = 24
x - y = 2
Add these equations to get: 2x = 26, which means x = 13
If x = 13, then y = 11

So, xy = (13)(11) = 143

Question: When 30% of one number is subtracted from another number, the second number reduces to its 80%. What is the ratio of the first to the second number? 

Solution:
Let,
the first and second numbers be x and y,

ATQ,
y - 30% of x = 80% of y
⇒ y - (30x)/100 = (80y)/100
⇒ y - (30x)/100 = 4y/5
⇒ y - (3x)/10 = 4y/5
⇒ (10y - 3x)/10 = 4y/5
⇒ (10y - 3x)/2 = 4y
⇒ 10y - 3x = 8y
⇒ - 3x = 8y - 10y
⇒ 3x = 2y
⇒ x/y = 2/3
∴ x : y = 2 : 3

Question: What must be added to the polynomial f(x) = x4 + 2x3 - 2x2 + x - 1 so that the resulting polynomial is exactly divisible by x2 + 2x - 3?

Solution:
x2 + 2x - 3 ) x4 + 2x3 - 2x2 + x - 1( x2 + 1
                    x4 + 2x3 - 3x2 
                  ________________________
                                     x2 + x - 1

                  ________________________
                                          - x + 2

To get exactly divisible, the remainder must be 0
- x + 2 + k = 0
⇒ k = (x - 2)

Hence, the correct option is 1.

Question: A man earns N dollars a month and spends S dollars a month on rent. If he then spends 3/8 of the remainder on food, how much, in dollars, is left over for other expenses, in terms of N and S?

Solution:
Given that,
Monthly income = N dollars
Rent = S dollars

∴ Remaining after rent = N - S

And, He spends 3/8​ of the remainder on food.
∴ Food expense = (3/8)(N - S)

∴ Left for other expenses = Remaining after rent - Food expense
= (N - S) - {(3/8)(N - S)}
= (8/8)(N - S) - {(3/8)(N - S)}
= {(8 - 3)/8}(N - S)
= (5/8)( N - S)

  3. 15%
  4. 14%
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: The true discount on Tk. 2562 due 4 months hence is Tk. 122. What is the rate percent?

Solution: 
Given,
Amount (A) = 2562 Tk
True Discount (TD) = 122 Tk
Time (T) = 4 months = 1/3 of a year

Present Worth, P.W. = (2562−122) Tk
= 2440 Tk

True Discount (TD) = Simple Interest (SI) on the Present Worth (PW) for the given time period.
∴ S.I. on 2440 Tk for 4 months is 122 Tk.

We know, SI = PRT/100
∴ R = (SI × 100)/(P × T)
= [(100 × 122)/(2440 × (1/3)]
= 15

∴ Rate is 15%

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A sum of Tk. 800 amounts to Tk. 920 in 3 years at the simple interest rate. If the rate is increased by 3% p.a., what will the sum amount be in the same period?

Solution:
Here , Principal = Tk 800 , Amount = Tk 920
S.I. = Amount - Principal = 920 - 800 = Tk 120
Rate = (Interest × 100)/(Principal × Time)
= (120 × 100)/(800 × 3)
= 5% per annum

 If the rate is increased by 3%, Rate = 8% per annum
S.I. = (800 × 8 × 3)/(800 × 3)
= Tk 192

∴ Amount = Principal + S.I. = (800 + 192) = Tk 992

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: How many bricks, each measuring 25 cm × 12 cm × 6 cm, are required to build a wall measuring 5 m × 3 m × 12 cm?

Solution:
Wall Dimensions,
Length = 5 m = 500 cm
Width = 3 m = 300 cm
Height = 12 cm

Brick Dimensions,
Length = 25 cm
Width = 12 cm
Height = 6 cm

Volume of the wall = Length × Width × Height
= 500 × 300 × 12
= 1,800,000 cm3

Volume of one brick = Length × Width × Height
= 25 × 12 × 6
= 1,800 cm3

∴ Number of bricks = Volume of the wall ÷ Volume of one brick
= 1,800,000 ÷ 1,800
= 1,000

∴ The number of bricks needed to construct the wall is 1,000.

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: The present ages of Kamal and Jamal are in the ratio 5 : 7. After 8 years, the ratio of their ages will be 3 : 4. What is the difference in their present ages?

Solution:
Let their present ages be 5x and 7x.

After 8 years, Kamal's age = 5x + 8
Jamal's age = 7x + 8

According to the question,
(5x + 8)/(7x + 8) = 3/4
⇒ 4(5x + 8) = 3(7x + 8)
⇒ 20x + 32 = 21x + 24
⇒ 20x - 21x = 24 - 32
⇒ - x = - 8
∴ x = 8

∴ Kamal's present age = 5 × 8 = 40 years
∴ Jamal's present age = 7 × 8 = 56 years

∴ Difference = 56 - 40 = 16 years

Pipe A can fill a tank in 60 minutes and Pipe B can empty the tank in 120 minutes.How long will they take to fill the tank if both pipes are opened simultaneously?
  1. 120 minutes
  2. 30 minutes
  3. 60 minutes
  4. 45 minutes
ব্যাখ্যা

Pipe A can fill in 1 hour(60 minutes) is 1/1 or full of the tank.
Pipe B can empty in 1 hour (1/2) of the tank [120 mins= 2hrs]
Both pipes together can fill the tank in 1 hour = 1/1 - 1/2
= 1/2 of the tank.
Since 1/2 part of the tank is filled in 1 hour, the remaining part left is 1/2 of the tank.
The remaining 1/2 part will be filled in another 1 hour.
So both the pipes take 2 hours(120 minutes) to fill the tank.

ব্যাখ্যা

Suppose he moves 4 km downstream in x hours.
Then,
Speed downstream = (4/x) km/hr
Speed upstream = (3/x) km//hr

or, 12x + 16x = 14
or, 6x + 8x = 7
or, x = 1/2
So, Speed downstream = 8 km/hr
Speed upstream = 6km/hr

Rate of the stream = (1/2) (8-6) km/hr = 1km/hr

Question: A dealer paid a car manufacturer tk 1,35,000 for a car. What should be the selling price of the car, if after allowing a buyer 10% discount on the selling price, he made a profit of 8 % on his outlay?

Solution:
Let, the selling price be x
Discounted selling price = 0.9x

Profit = Discounted selling price - Cost price
⇒ 0.08 × 1,35,000 = 0.9x - 1,35,000
⇒10,800 = 0.9x - 1,35,000
⇒ 0.9x = 10,800 + 1,35,000
⇒ 0.9x = 1,45,800
⇒ x = 1,45,800/0.9
∴ x = 1,62,000

  1. ক) 60 km
  2. খ) 85 km
  3. গ) 75 km
  4. ঘ) 52 km
ব্যাখ্যা
Let,
Speed = x km/h
So,
40x - 40x × (14/15) = 5
Or, 40x - 112x/3 = 5
Or, 120x - 112x = 15
Or, x = 15/8
∴ distance covered = (15 × 40)/8 = 75 km

  3. 81 days
  4. 56 days
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: If 30 men can complete a piece of work in 27 days, in what time 18 men can do another piece of work 3 times as greater?

Solution:
30 men can do a piece of work in 27 days, and we know that men × days = total work
So, we can say that the total work = 30 × 27 = 810 units
Now ATQ,
18 men can do work 3 times greater than 810 units.
i.e., 18 men can do a work 3 × 810 = 2430 units in x days
Men × days = total work (2430 units)
⇒ 18 × x = 2430
∴ x = 2430/18 = 135 days

Question: A milkman purchases the milk at Tk. x per litre and sells it at Tk. 2x per litre still he mixes 2 litres water with every 6 litres of pure milk. What is the profit percentage?

Solution: 
the buying price of 6 litres of milk is = 6x Tk.

after mixing 2 litres of water the total amount of mixture is = 8 litres

selling 2x per litres the total selling price is = 16x
∴ profit = 16x - 6x = 10x

profit in percentage = (10x/6x)100%
= 166.66%

Question:  The supplement of an angle is twice the angle. Find the angle.

Solution:
Let the angle be x degrees.
The supplement of an angle = 180° - x

According to the question,
180° - x = 2x
⇒ 180° = 2x + x  
⇒ 180° = 3x  
⇒ x = 180°/3  
∴ x = 60°

∴ The angle is 60°

Question: Mamun invested 77500 tk in CT bank. In two years how much compound interest will he get, if the first year rate of interest was 10% and second year had 2% more than first year?

Solution:
Rate of Interest for Year 1 = 10% 
Rate of Interest for Year 2 = 10 + 2 = 12%

For compound Interest, Total Amount = P {1 + (R/100)}n
∴ Compound Interest = Amount - Principal = P {1 + (R/100)}n - P
= 77500{1 + (10/100)}1 × {1 + (12/100)}1 - 77500   [1st year 10% and 2nd year 12%]
= 77500[{1 + (10/100)}1 × {1 + (10/100)}1 - 1]
= 77500 {(11/10) (112/100) - 1}
= 77500{(1232/1000) - 1}
= 77500(232/1000)
= 775(232/10)
= 17980 tk

Question: There is a ratio of 5 : 4 between two numbers. If 40% of the first number is 12, then what would be 50% of the second number is ?

Solution: 
Let the numbers be 5x and 4x respectively

According to the question,
⇒ 5x × (40/100) = 12
⇒ 2x = 12
∴ x = 6

Now,
50% of the second number is,
= 4x of 50%
= 4 × 6 × (50/100)
= 12

So 50% of the second number is 12.

Question: A man bought some eggs of which 10% are rotten. He gives 80% of the remainder to his neighbors. Now he is left out with 36 eggs. Then he ate two eggs. How many eggs did he buy?

Solution:
let, the man bought  x eggs
10% are rotten

so eggs remained = x - x × 10%
= x - x/10
= 9x/10

80% of 9x/10
= (9x/10) × (80/100)
= 18x/25

he is left with = (9x/10) - (18x/25)
= (45x - 36x)/50
= 9x/50

So, (9x/50) = 36
⇒ 9x = 36 × 50
⇒ x = (36 × 50)/9
= 200

∴ He bought 200 eggs
