  1. 11%
  2. 15.5%
  3. 8.25%
  4. 9%
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: A and B are two fixed points 5 cm apart and C is a point on AB such that AC is 3cm. if the length of AC is increased by 6%, the length of CB is decreased by-

Solution:
Given that,
AB = 5 cm (fixed)
Initially, AC = 3 cm
So, CB = AB - AC = 5 - 3 = 2 cm

Now,
Increase in AC = 6%
∴ Increase in AC = (106/100) × 3 = 3.18cm
And,
Decrease in CB = 5 - 3.18 = 1.82 cm
∴ Decrease = 2 - 1.82 = 0.18 cm

So Percentage of decrease = (0.18/2) × 100%
= (18/2)%
= 9%

Thus, the length of CB is decreased by 9%.

Question: A certain pet store sells only dogs and cats. In March, the store sold twice as many dogs as cats. In April, the store sold twice the number of dogs that it sold in March, and three times the number of cats that it sold in March. If the total number of pets the store sold in March and April combined was 420, how many dogs did the store sell in March?

Solution:
Let,
Dogs sold in March = x
∴ Dogs sold In April = 2x
Cats sold in March = y
∴ Cats sold In April = 3y

Given,
In March, the store sold twice as many dogs as cats
⇒ x = 2y ..........(1)

ATQ,
x + y + 2x + 3y = 420
⇒ 3x + 4y = 420
⇒ (3 × 2y) + 4y = 420 [from equation (1)]
⇒ 6y + 4y = 420
⇒ 10y = 420
∴ y = 42

Now, from Equation (1),
Dogs sold in March = x = 2y = (2 × 42) = 84

A wheel makes 1000 revolutions in covering a distance of 88 km. What is the radius of the wheel?
  1. 28 m
  2. 21 m
  3. 14 m
  4. 7 m
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A wheel makes 1000 revolutions in covering a distance of 88 km. What is the radius of the wheel?

Solution:
The distance covered in one revolution is equal to the circumference of the wheel. The total distance covered can be calculated using the formula:
Total Distance = Number of Revolutions × Circumference

Given that the total distance is 88 km (which is 88,000 meters) and the number of revolutions is 1000, we can set up the equation:
88,000 = 1000 × Circumference
⇒ Circumference = 88000/1000
∴ Circumference = 88

The circumference C of a circle is given by the formula:
C = 2πr [where r is the radius]

∴ 2πr = 88
⇒ r = 88/(2π) = 44/(22/7) = (44 × 7)/22 = 14 m

  4. 9
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A cube of side 5 cm is painted on all its side. If it is sliced into 1 cubic centimer cubes, how many 1 cubic centimeter cubes will have exactly one of their sides painted?

Solution:
When a 5 cubic centimeter cube is sliced into 1 cubic centimeter cubes, we will get 5 × 5 × 5 = 125 cubes of 1 cubic centimeter.

In each side of the larger cube, the smaller cubes on the edges will have more than one of their sides painted.
Therefore, the cubes which are not on the edge of the larger cube and that lie on the facing sides of the larger cube will have exactly one side painted.

In each face of the larger cube, there will be 5 × 5 = 25 cubes.
Of these, the cubes on the outer rows will be on the edge. 16 such cubes exist on each face.
If we count out the two outer rows on either side of a face of the cube, we will be left with 3 × 3 = 9 cubes which are not on the edge in each face of the cube.

Therefore, there will be 9 cubes of 1-cc volume per face that will have exactly one of their sides painted.
In total, there will be 9 × 6 = 54 such cubes.

(বর্গক্ষেত্র এবং আয়তক্ষেত্রের এলাকা সমান। বর্গক্ষেত্রের একপাশ ৫ সেমি এবং আয়তক্ষেত্রের ছোট পাশটি বর্গক্ষেত্রের অর্ধেক। আয়তক্ষেত্রের অন্য পাশের দৈর্ঘ্য কী হবে?)

Solution:
বর্গের পাশ = ৫ সেমি, এবং আয়তক্ষেত্রের ছোট পাশের দৈর্ঘ্য = ৫/২ = ২.৫ সেমি
ধরা যাক, আয়তক্ষেত্রের অপর পাশের দৈর্ঘ্য = ক

প্রশ্ন অনুযায়ী:
আয়তক্ষেত্রের ক্ষেত্রফল = বর্গের ক্ষেত্রফল
দৈর্ঘ্য × প্রস্থ = বাহু × বাহু
⇒ ২.৫ × ক = ৫ × ৫
⇒ ক = ২৫/২.৫
∴ ক = ১০ সেমি

A wheel with 8 cogs is meshed with a larger wheel that has 16 cogs. If the smaller wheel makes 36 revolutions, how many revolutions will the larger wheel make?
  1. 18 revolutions
  2. 19 revolutions
  3. 21 revolutions
  4. 24 revolutions
  5. None
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A wheel with 8 cogs is meshed with a larger wheel that has 16 cogs. If the smaller wheel makes 36 revolutions, how many revolutions will the larger wheel make?

Solution:
We know,
As the number of cogs increased, the revolutions decreased.
∴ More cogs (↑),Less revolutions (↓)

Hence, this is a problem related to indirect proportion.

Let
the number of revolutions of the larger wheel = x

ATQ,
16 : 8 : : 36 : x
⇒ 16 × x = 8 × 36
⇒ x = (8 × 36)/16
∴ x = 18

∴ The larger wheel will make 18 revolutions.

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A monkey climbs a 40m high pole. In the first minute, he climbs 3m and slips down 1m in the next minute. How much time is required by it to reach the top?

Solution: 
in two minutes,
total distance covered by the monkey is = 3 - 1 = 2m
in 1 minute = 2/2 = 1m

in 36 minutes it will cover = 36m
in the 37th minute, it will go up to = 36 +3 = 39m
in the 38th minute, it will fall 1m ad thus covers = 39 - 1 = 38m

the rest of the 2m of total 40m will be climbed in 1 minute.
thus total time to reach the peak is = 38 + 1 = 39 minutes.

Question: What is the compound amount on Tk. 2500 for 2 years at rate of interest 4% per annum?

Solution:
Given,
Principal (P) = Tk. 2500
Rate of interest(r) = 4% = 4/100 = 1/25
Time (n) = 2 years

We know,
A = P(1 + r)n
= 2500 × (1 + 1/25)2
= 2500 × (26/25)2
= (2500 × 26 × 26)/(25 × 25)
= 2704

Question: The average of 2, 7, 6, and m is 5 and the average of 18, 1, 6, m and n is 10. What is the value of n? 

Solution: 
Given that
average of 2, 7, 6, m is 5

Therefore,
5 = (2 + 7 + 6 + m​)/4
⇒ 20 = 15 + m
⇒ m = 20 - 15
∴ m = 5

Therefore,
10 = (18 + 1 + 6 + m + n​)/5
⇒ 50 = 25 + 5 + n
⇒ n = 50 - 30 
∴ n = 20

Question: The perimeter of a rectangular field is 104 meters. If the length of the field is 10 meters more than twice the width, what is the area of that field in square meters?

Solution:
Let,
The width of the rectangular field is x meter
∴ The length of the rectangular field is 2x + 10 meter

ATQ,
2(2x + 10 + x) = 104
⇒ 3x + 10 = 52
⇒ 3x = 42
∴ x = 14

∴ The area of that field is = (2x + 10) × x = (2 × 14 + 10) × 14 = (28 + 10) × 14 square meters
= 38 × 14 square meters
= 532 square meters

Question: In a class of 40 students, the average marks in an exam was 60. The average marks of the students who passed is 65 and the average marks of the students who failed is 40. How many students failed in the exam?

Solution:
Let the number of students who failed = x
Then, the number of students who passed = 40 - x

According to the question,
65(40 - x) + 40x = 40 × 60
⇒ 2600 - 65x + 40x = 2400
⇒ -25x = 2400 - 2600
⇒ -25x = -200
∴ x = 200/25
∴ x = 8

∴ Number of students who failed = 8.

Question: A man could buy a certain number of notebooks for Tk. 300. If each notebook cost is Tk. 5 more, he could have bought 10 notebooks less for the same amount. Find the price of each notebook?
 
Solution: 
let the number of notebooks is = x 
so, per notebook price is = 300/x

ATQ,
{(300/x) + 5} × (x - 10) = 300
(300 + 5x)(x - 10) = 300x
300x + 5x2 - 3000 - 50x = 300x
5x2 - 50x - 3000 = 0
x2 - 10x - 600 = 0
x2 - 30x + 20x - 600 = 0
x(x - 30) + 20(x - 30) = 0
(x - 30) (x + 20) = 0
∴ x = 30

price of each notebook is = 300/30 = 10 Tk.

Question: Find slope of the line perpendicular to the line y = (1/3)x - 7.

Solution: 
Given line, y = (1/3)x - 7
The slope of this line is m1 = 1/3 ; [Comparing with  y = mx + c]

We know, 
If two lines are perpendicular, their slopes satisfy m1⋅m2 = - 1
Let m2 be the slope of the perpendicular line. Then we get,
⇒ (1/3)⋅m2 = - 1
⇒ m2 = - 1 × 3
∴ m2 = - 3

So the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is - 3.

Question: A worker union contract specifies a 6% salary increase plus a Tk. 450 bonus for each worker. For a worker, this is equivalent to 8% salary increase. What was this worker's salary before the new contract?

Solution:
ধরি,
পূর্বে কর্মীর বেতন ছিলো = x টাকা

6% বৃদ্ধিতে বেতন = x + x এর 6%
= x + x এর 6/100
= (100x + 6x)/100
= 106x/100

8% বৃদ্ধিতে বেতন = x + x এর 8%
= x + x এর 8/100
= (100x + 8x)/100
= 108x/100

প্রশ্নমতে
(106x/100) + 450 = 108x/100
⇒ 450 = (108x/100) - (106x/100)
⇒ 450 = 2x/100
⇒ 450 = x/50
⇒ x = 50 × 450
∴ x = 22,500

  1. Tk. 852
  2. Tk. 1052
  3. Tk. 1152
  4. Tk. 1225
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: Tk. 800 becomes Tk. 956 in 3 years at a certain rate of simple interest. If the rate of interest is increased by 4%. What amount will Tk. 800 become in 3 years?

Solution:
Here, I1 = (956 - 800) = Tk. 156
P1 = Tk. 800, n1 = 3 years.

We know,
I1 = P1n1r1
Or, r1 = I1/P1n1
= (156 × 100)/(800 × 3)
= 6.5%

After interest rate increase of 4%
The new rate of interest r2 = (6.5 + 4)%
= 10.5%

Now, amount = 800 + (800 × 3 × 10.5/100)
= 800 + 252
= Tk. 1052

Question: The average height of 30 boys was calculated to be 150 cm. It was detected later that one value of 165 cm was wrongly copied as 135 cm for the computation of the mean. Find the correct mean.

Solution:
Calculated average height of 30 boys = 150 cm.
Incorrect sum of the heights of 30 boys
= (150 × 30)cm
= 4500 cm.

Correct sum of the heights of 30 boys
= (incorrect sum) - (wrongly copied item) + (actual item)

Question: By selling a bicycle for Tk. 2850, a shopkeeper gains 14%. If the profit is reduced to 8%, then the selling price will be?

Solution:
Let Cost Price was x.
⇒ x + 14% of x = 2850
⇒ x + (14x/100) = 2850
⇒ (100x + 14x)/100 = 2850
⇒ 114x/100 = 2850
⇒ x = (2850 × 100)/114
∴ x = 2500.
So, Cost Price = Tk. 2500.

Now, Selling Price When profit remains at 8%,
= 2500 + 8% of 2500
= 2500 + (8/100) × 2500
= 2500 + 200

Question: 10 years ago, Person X was 6 years younger than Person Y. The sum of their present ages is 50. Find the present age of X.

Solution:
Let present age of X = a years  
Present age of Y = b years  

Given that,
a + b = 50 .........(1)
And, 
10 years ago, X was 6 years younger than Y  
⇒ (a - 10) = (b - 10) - 6  
 ⇒ a - 10 = b - 16  
 ∴ a = b - 6  

Now put x = y - 6 in equation (1) then we get,
⇒ (b - 6) + y = 50  
⇒ 2b - 6 = 50  
⇒ 2b = 56  
⇒ b = 56/2 = 28  
∴ b = 28

∴ Present age of X = b - 6 = 28 - 6 = 22 years.

Question: Three partners X, Y, and Z invest Tk. 60,000 in a business. X invests Tk. 8,000 more than Y, and Y invests Tk. 5,000 more than Z. If the total profit is Tk. 36,000, how much does X receive?

Solution:
Let Z's investment be Tk. x.
Y invests Tk. 5,000 more than Z, so Y's investment = Tk. (x + 5,000)
X invests Tk. 8,000 more than Y, so X's investment = Tk. (x + 5,000 + 8,000) = Tk. (x + 13,000)

Since the total investment is Tk. 60000,
⇒ X + Y + Z = 60000
⇒ (x + 13000) + (x + 5000) + x = 60000
⇒ 3x + 18000 = 60000
⇒ 3x = 42000
⇒ x = 14000

So,
Z's investment = Tk. 14,000
Y's investment = Tk. (14,000 + 5,000) = Tk. 19,000
X's investment = Tk. (19,000 + 8,000) = Tk. 27,000

Given that, Total profit = Tk. 36,000

X receive = (X’s Investment​/Total Investment) × Total Profit
= (27000/60000) × 36000
= (27/60) × 36000
= 27 × 600
= 16200

∴ X receives Tk. 16,200 from the profit.

Question: The ratio of the number of boys and girls in a college is 7 : 8. If the percentage increase in the number of boys and girls be 20% and 10% respectively, what will be the new ratio?

Solution:
Originally, let the number of boys and girls in the college be 7x and 8x respectively.
Their increased number is (120% of 7x) and (110% of 8x).
⇒ (120/100) × 7x and (110/100) × 8x
⇒ 42x/5 and 44x/5

∴ The required ratio = 42x/5 : 44x/5 = 21 : 22.

Question: Shakib's bowling average is 12.4 runs per wicket takes 5 wickets for 26 runs and thereby decreases his average by 0.4. The number of wickets taken by him till the last match was -

Solution: 
Let, Shakib take x wickets before the last match. 

Total run = 12.4x + 26 
New average = (12.4x + 26)/(x + 5)

ATQ,
(12.4x + 26)/(x + 5) = 12.4 - 0.4 
⇒ (12.4x + 26) = 12(x + 5)
⇒ 12.4x - 12x = 60 - 26
⇒ 0.4x = 34
⇒ x = 34/0.4
∴ x = 85 

The number of wickets taken by him till the last match was = 85 wickets

The average wages of a worker during a fortnight comprising 15 consecutive working days was ৳ 90 per day. During the first 7 days, his average wages was ৳ 87/day and the average wages during the last 7 days was ৳ 92/day. What was his wage on the 8th day?
  1. Tk. 80
  2. Tk. 72
  3. Tk. 54
  4. Tk. 97
ব্যাখ্যা
The total wages earned during the 15 days that the worker worked ,
= 15 × 90
= ৳ 1350

The total wages earned during the first 7 days
= 7 × 87
= ৳ 609

The total wages earned during the last 7 days
= 7 × 92
= ৳ 644

Total wages earned during the 15 days,
= wages during first 7 days + wage on 8th day + wages during the last 7 days.
Therefore, 1350 = 609 + wage on 8th day + 644
or, wage on 8th day = 1350 - 609 - 644
                                 = ৳ 97

Question: Which number when added to each of the numbers 7, 14 and 28 would make the sums to be in continued proportion?

Solution:
Let the number to be added is x.

If three numbers a, b, and c are in continued proportion, then,
a/b = b/c
⇒ b2 =  ac ..... (1)

Now,
7 + x, 14 + x, 28 + x

From (1) we get,
∴ (14 + x)2 = (7 + x)(28 + x)
⇒ 142 + 2 × 14 × x + x2 = 7 × 28 + 7x + 28x + x2
⇒ 196 + 35x + x2 = 196 + 28x + x2
⇒ 35x = 28x
⇒ 35x - 28x = 0
⇒ 7x = 0
∴ x = 0

Question: Rina completes 60% or 3/5 of a work in 12 days. Then she calls in Sima, and together they finish the remaining work in 6 days. How long would Sima alone take to complete the whole work?

Solution:
Here,
Rina does 3/5 of the work in 12 days
in one day, she does = (3/5 ÷ 12)
= 3/60
= 1/20 part

In 6 days, she does 6/20 = 3/10 part
work remaining = 2/5

Together, they do 2/5 in 6 days
Together in one day = (2/5) ÷ 6
= 2/30
= 1/15

Rina one day = 1/20
Sima one day = 1/15 - 1/20
= (4-3)/60
= 1/60

∴ Sima alone will take 60 days to complete the whole work.

Question: The sum of fifth and thirteenth term of an arithmetic progression is 28. What is the sum of the first seventeen terms of that progression?

Solution:
In an arithmetic progression.
Let first term = a
Common difference = d

We know,
an = a + (n - 1)d
∴ a5 = a + 4d and a13 = a + 12d

Given that, 
fifth term + thirteenth term = 28
⇒ a5 + a13 = 28
⇒ a + 4d + a + 12d = 28
⇒ 2a + 16d = 28
⇒ 2(a + 8d) = 28
∴ a + 8d = 14  ........(1)

We need the sum of the first 17 terms.
S17 = (n/2) × [2a + (n - 1)d]
= (17/2) × [2a + 16d]
= 17/2 × 2(a + 8d)
= 17 × (a + 8d)
= 17 × 14
= 238

So the sum of the first seventeen terms is 238.

Question: In the figure AC and BC are radii of circles. The length of AB is 8. If AC = 4, what is BC? (BC is tangent to the circle with center A.)

Solution:
Since BC is tangent to circle with centre A
∴ BC is perpendicular to AC.
ΔABC is a right-angled triangle.

So,
BC = √(AB2 - AC2)
= √(82 - 42)
= √(64 - 16)
= √48
= √(16 × 3)
= 4√3

The ratios of incomes of A and B is 5:4 and the ratio of their expenditures is 3:2. If at the end of the year each save tk 1600,then the income of A is:
  1. ক) Tk 3400
  2. খ) Tk 3600
  3. গ) Tk 4000
  4. ঘ) Tk 4400
ব্যাখ্যা

Let their income be x
and expenditure be y

A's income = 5x
B's income = 4x

A's expenditure = 3y
B's expenditure = 2y

Both saves 1600
Income - expenditure = saves

5x - 3y = 1600 .... (i)
4x - 2y = 1600 .... (ii)
Substract (ii) × 3 from (i) × 2

10x - 6y - ( 12x - 6y ) = 3200 - 4800
10x - 6y - 12x + 6y = - 1600
- 2x = - 1600

x = 800
Putting the value of x in (i)
5x - 3y = 1600
4000 - 3y = 1600
- 3y = - 2400
y = 800

∴ Income of a = 5x = 4000

A restaurant makes 20% profit after selling a set menu at a discount of 20%. What is the percentage increase of the marked price?
  1. ক) 30%
  2. খ) 20%
  3. গ) 40%
  4. ঘ) 50%
ব্যাখ্যা

Let the Market Price of the product is MP.
Let the Original Cost Price of the product is CP.
Selling Price (Discounted Price) = 100% of MP - 20% of MP = 80% of MP ......... (1)
Profit made by selling at discounted price = 20% of CP ........... (2)
Apply the formula:
Profit = Selling Price - Original Cost Price
⇒ 20% of CP = 80% of MP - 100% CP
⇒ MP = (120×CP)/80 = 3/2 × CP
Now if product is sold without any discount, then,
Profit = Selling Price (without discount) - Original Cost Price
= Market Price - Original Cost Price
= MP - CP
= 3/2 CP - CP
= 1/2 CP
= 50% of CP

যদি ক কে ৪ দ্বারা ভাগ করা হয়, ভাগশেষ ৩ হয়। ২ক কে ৪ দ্বারা ভাগ করা হলে, ভাগশেষ কত হবে?
  1. কোনটিই নয়
ব্যাখ্যা
প্রশ্ন: যদি ক কে ৪ দ্বারা ভাগ করা হয়, ভাগশেষ ৩ হয়। ২ক কে ৪ দ্বারা ভাগ করা হলে, ভাগশেষ কত হবে?

সমাধান:
দেওয়া আছে,
ক কে ৪ দ্বারা ভাগ করলে ভাগশেষ ৩ হয়।

তাহলে,
ক = ৪n + ৩ (n হলো কোনো পূর্ণসংখ্যা)
আবার ২ক = ২(৪n + ৩)
⇒ ২ক = ৮n + ৬

৮n + ৬ কে ৪ দ্বারা ভাগ করলে,
(৮n + ৬)/৪
= {৪(২ক + ২)}/৪
= ২ক + ২

সুতরাং, ২ক কে ৪ দ্বারা ভাগ করলে ভাগশেষ ২ হবে।

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: The total marks obtained by a student in English, Biology, and History together is 150 more than the marks obtained by him in Biology. What is the average marks obtained by him in English and History together?

Solution:
Let English = E, Biology = B, History = H

Given, 
E + B + H = B + 150 
⇒ E + H = 150 

∴ Average of English and History
= (E + H)/2
= 150/2
= 75

A bag contains 4 green balls and 3 yellow balls. If two balls are drawn without replacement, what is the probability that both are yellow?
  1. 1/2
  2. 1/3
  3. 1/5
  4. 1/7
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: A bag contains 4 green balls and 3 yellow balls. If two balls are drawn without replacement, what is the probability that both are yellow?

Solution:

Total balls = 4 green + 3 yellow = 7 balls.
Probability that the first ball is yellow = 3/7

After removing 1 yellow ball, we have:
Remaining yellow balls = 2
Total remaining balls = 6
So, the probability that the second ball is yellow = 2/6 = 1/3

∴ Total probability (both yellow) = 3/7 × 1/3 = 1/7

If the sum of a number and its reciprocal be 2 then the number is = ?
  1. 1
  2. 0
  3. - 1
  4. - 3
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: If the sum of a number and its reciprocal be 2 then the number is = ?

Solution:
Let the number be = x
The reciprocal of the number is = 1/x

According to the question,
x + (1/x) = 2
⇒ x2 + 1 = 2x
⇒ x2 - 2x + 1 = 0
⇒ (x - 1)2 = 0
∴ x = 1

Hence, the number = 1

4 men and 6 women can complete a work in 8 days, while 3 men and 7 women can complete it in 10 days. In how many days will 10 women complete it?
  1. ক) 35
  2. খ) 40
  3. গ) 45
  4. ঘ) 50
  5. ঙ) None of these
ব্যাখ্যা

Let 1 man's 1 day's work = x and 1 woman's 1 day's work = y
Then, 4x + 6y = 1/8 and 3x + 7y = 1/10
Solving the two equations, we get
x = 11/400, y = 1/400
∴ 1 woman's 1 day's work = 1/400
⇒ 10 women's 1 day's work = ((1/400)×10) = 1/40
Hence, 10 women will complete the work in 40 days
