ব্যাখ্যা
Question: What is the smallest number when added by 5 the summation will be divided by 12, 16, 24 and 32?

Solution:
The required number will be 5 less than L.C.M. of 12, 16, 24 and 32.

12 = 2 × 2 × 3
16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

So the L.C.M of 12, 16, 24 and 32 = 96

Required number= 96 - 5 = 91

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: A fruit seller sells 20 pomegranates for Tk. 900 and incurs a loss equal to the cost of 5 pomegranates. What is the cost price of one pomegranate?

Solution:

Selling price of 20 pomegranates for Tk. 900

Let,
cost price of 1 pomegranate is = Tk. x
∴ cost price of 20 pomegranates is = Tk. 20x
∴ cost price of 5 pomegranates is = Tk. 5x

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

∴ The cost price of 1 pomegranate is Tk. 60

Question: The ratio of Sara's age 4 years ago and Vaishali's age after 4 years is 1 : 1. Presently, the ratio of their ages is 5 : 3. Find the ratio between Sara's age 4 years hence and Vaishali's age 4 years ago.

Solution:
Currently, the ratio of their ages is 5 : 3.
Suppose, their ages are: 5x and 3x.

Sara’s age 4 years ago = 5x - 4
Vaishali’s age after 4 years = 3x + 4
Ratio of Sara’s age 4 years ago and Vaishali's age after 4 years is 1 : 1
Therefore,
(5x - 4)/(3x + 4) = 1/1
⇒ 5x - 4 = 3x + 4
⇒ 2x = 8
∴ x = 4

We are required to find the ratio between Sara’s age 4 years hence and Vaishali’s age 4 years ago.
Sara's age 4 years hence: (5x + 4)
Vaishali's age 4 years ago: (3x - 4)
Putting the value of x, we get:
(5x + 4)/(3x - 4)
= 24/8
= 3/1
= 3 : 1

Question: An instructor scored a student’s test of 50 questions by subtracting 2 times the number of incorrect answers from the number of correct answers. If the student answered all of the questions and received a score of 38, how many questions did that student answer correctly?

Solution:
let,
c = no. of correct answers
w = no. of wrong answers.
we know total questions = 50
∴ c + w = 50
⇒ c = 50 - w ................ (1)
the teacher removed 2 times wrong answers from correct answer and gave the score as 38
c - 2w = 38 ----------- (2)

substitute (1) in (2)
50 - w - 2w = 38
⇒ 50 - 38 = 3w
⇒ 12 = 3w
∴ w = 4
Therefore no. of wrong ans = 4 which implies no. of right = 46,

12 pumps of one type pump 300 litres of water when each is running for 18 hours per day. But a set of 16 pumps of other types pump 400 litres of water when each is running for 24 hours per day. How efficient are the former type of pumps than latter type?
  1. ক) 7/15 times more efficient
  2. খ) 7/12 times more efficient
  3. গ) 3/4 times more efficient
  4. ঘ) 4/3 times more efficient
ব্যাখ্যা

We know,
M1D1T1W2 = M2D2T2W1 [Men = M; Days = D; Time/Hours = T; Work = W]

Let the former type be E times efficient.
So, 1 former type pump = E x latter type pumps
So 1F = E x L
∴ 12F x 18 hours x 400 = 16L x 24 hours x 300
∴ (12 x E x L) x 18 x 400 = 16 L x 24 x 300 ------------------> Put value of F i.e. 1F
E = 4/3 = these are many times more efficient.

Solution:
Given line: y = - 2x + 5
The slope of this line is m1 = - 2 [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,

(- 2) × m2 = - 1
⇒ m2 = (- 1)/(-2)
⇒ m2 = 1/2

So, the slope of the line perpendicular to the given line is 1/2.

Question: What is the measure of the radius of the circle that circumscribes a triangle whose sides measure 9, 40, and 41?

Solution:
Here,
92 + 402 = 81 + 1600 = 1681 = 412
∴ 9, 40, and 41 is a Pythagorean triplet. So, the triangle is right angled.

Key property about right triangles:
In a right angled triangle, the radius of the circle that circumscribes the triangle is half the hypotenuse.
In the given triangle, the hypotenuse = 41.


Therefore, the radius of the circle that circumscribes the triangle = 41/2 = 20.5 units.

A is thrice as good as B at work. A is able to finish a job in 60 days less than B. They can finish the work in _____ days if they work together.
  1. 26(1/2) days
  2. 18(2/3) days
  3. 22(1/2) days
  4. 24(2/3) days
  5. 25 days
ব্যাখ্যা

If A completes a work in 1 day, B completes the same work in 3 days.
This means, difference is 2 days, if B completes the work in 3 days
Therefore, difference is 60 days, if B completes the work in 90 days

⇒ Amount of work B can do in 1 day = 1/90
Amount of work A can do in 1 day = 3 × 1/90 = 1/30

Amount of work A and B can together do in 1 day = 1/90 + 1 /30 = 4/90 = 2/45
Therefore, A and B together can do the work in 45/2 days = 22 (1/2) days

Question: A can complete a piece of work in 18 days, B in 20 days and C in 30 days, B and C together start the work and forced to leave after 2 days. The time taken by A alone to complete the remaining work is:

Solution:
(B+C) 2 day's work:
2 × ( 1/20 + 1/30 )
= 2 × (3+2)/60
= 1/6 part

Remaining work
= 1−1/6

A's one day's work
= 1/18 part

Time taken to complete the work
= (5/6) / (1/18) days

Hence,
Time taken to complete the work
= 5/6×18
=15 days

প্রশ্ন: মুনাফা আসলের ১/৪ অংশ। কোন মূলধন মুনাফা-আসলে ৫ বছরে একসাথে ৮৭৫ টাকা হয় হলে, শতকরা মুনাফার হার =?

সমাধান:
ধরি,
মুনাফা = ক টাকা
∴ আসল = ৪ক টাকা

∴ মুনাফা-আসল = ক + ৪ক = ৫ক টাকা

প্রশ্নমতে,
৫ক = ৮৭৫
বা, ক = ৮৭৫/৫
∴ ক = ১৭৫ টাকা

মুনাফা = ১৭৫ টাকা এবং আসল = (১৭৫ × ৪) = ৭০০ টাকা

৭০০ টাকার ৫ বছরের মুনাফা ১৭৫ টাকা
১ টাকার ১ বছরের মুনাফা ১৭৫/(৭০০ × ৫) টাকা
∴ ১০০ টাকার ১ বছরের মুনাফা (১৭৫ × ১০০)/(৭০০ × ৫) টাকা
= ৫ টাকা

∴ শতকরা মুনাফার হার ৫%

Question: If x is an even number, what is the difference between the smallest even number grater than (5x + 4) and the largest even number less than (3x + 9)?
Solution:
এখানে x জোড় সংখ্যা
(5x + 4) ও জোড় সংখ্যা হবে।
(5x + 4) এর বড় ক্ষুদ্রতম জোড় সংখ্যাটি হবে (5x + 4) এর চেয়ে 2 বেশি।অর্থাৎ (5x + 4) + 2 = 5x + 6

(3x + 9) সংখ্যাটি বিজোড় সংখ্যা। 
(3x + 9) এর চেয়ে ছোট জোড় সংখ্যাটি হবে (3x + 9) এর চেয়ে 1কম অর্থাৎ (3x + 9) - 1 = 3x + 8 

সংখ্যাদ্বয়ের পার্থক্য = (5x + 6) - (3x + 8)
                              = 5x + 6 - 3x - 8 
                               = 2x - 2

  3. 18
ব্যাখ্যা

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.

Two trains, each 100 m long, moving in opposite directions, cross each other in 8 seconds. If one is moving twice as fast the other, then the speed of the faster train is:
  1. ক) 30 km/hr
  2. খ) 45 km/hr
  3. গ) 60 km/hr
  4. ঘ) 75 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা

Let the speed of the slower train be x m/sec.
Then, speed of the faster train = 2x m/sec.
Relative speed = (x+2x) m/sec = 3x m/sec.
So,(100 + 100)/8 = 3x
⇒ 24x = 200
⇒ x = 25/3
So, speed of the faster train =50/3 m/sec
= (50/3) x (18/5) km/hr
= 60 km/hr.

Solution: 
ধরি, 
৫ বছর আগে, পুত্রের বয়স x বছর 
পিতার বয়স 5x বছর 

বর্তমানে, পুত্রের বয়স x + 5 বছর 
পিতার বয়স  (5x + 5) বছর 

২ বছর পর, পুত্রের বয়স x + 5 + 2 বছর 
= x + 7 বছর 

২ বছর পর পিতার বয়স = 5x + 5 + 2
= 5x + 7 বছর 

প্রশ্নমতে, 
5x + 7 = 3 (x + 7)
⇒ 5x + 7 = 3x + 21 
⇒ 5x - 3x = 21 - 7 
⇒ 2x = 14
∴ x = 7

পুত্রের বর্তমান বয়স = 7 + 5
= 12 বছর 
পিতার বর্তমান বয়স = 5 × 7 + 5
= 35 + 5
= 40 বছর 

∴ তাদের বর্তমান বয়সের অনুপাত = 40 : 12

⇒ 100% = 37.40 × (100/85)
⇒ 100% = Tk. 44

∴ The Marked price is Tk. 44 .
The marked price of each of the articles = 44/2 = 22Tk.

Question: If B = {x : x ∈ N such that x2 + 11x + 30 = 0} then B is ?


Solution:
Given that,
B = {x : x ∈ N such that x2 + 11x + 30 = 0}
First let's solve the quadratic equation x2 + 11x + 30 = 0
⇒ x2 + 5x + 6x + 30 = 0
⇒ x(x + 5) + 6(x + 5) = 0
⇒ (x + 6)(x + 5) = 0
⇒ x = - 5 or - 6
Both solutions are negative numbers (- 5 and - 6). Natural numbers (N) are positive integers:

According to the definition of the given set x is a natural number but we know that neither x = - 5 nor x = - 6 is a natural number

So, the given set is an empty set i.e B = Ø

Question: A, B and C working individually can complete a task in 30 days, 15 days and 10 days respectively. If A starts working alone and B and C helps A on every 2nd and 3rd day respectively, how long will it take the task to be completed?

Solution:
A একা ১ দিনে করে = ১/৩০ অংশ
B একা ১ দিনে করে = ১/১৫ অংশ
C একা ১ দিনে করে = ১/১০ অংশ

প্রথম ১০ দিনের জন্য হিসেব করে পাই,
প্রথম ১০ দিনে A কাজ করে ১০ দিন তথা = ১০/৩০ অংশ কাজ
প্রথম ১০ দিনে B কাজ করে ৫ দিন তথা = ৫/১৫ অংশ কাজ
প্রথম ১০ দিনে C কাজ করে ৩ দিন তথা = ৩/১০ অংশ কাজ
প্রথম ১০ দিনে A,B,C কাজ করে (১০/৩০) + (৫/১৫) + (৩/১০) = (১০ + ১০ + ৯)/৩০ = ২৯/৩০ অংশ
বাকি ১ - (২৯/৩০) = ১/৩০ অংশ কাজ করতে ১ দিন সময় লাগবে।

∴ মোট দিন = ১০ + ১ = ১১ দিন

Question: Arjun purchased 30 kg of wheat at the rate of Tk. 11.50 per kg and 20 kg of wheat at the rate of Tk 14.25 per kg. he mixed the two and sold the mixture. Approximately what price per kg should he sell the mixture to make 30% profit?

Solution: 
Total cost = 30 × 11.5 + 20 × 14.25 
= 345 + 285
= 630

Selling price = 630 + 630 × 30% 
= 630 + 189 
= 819

Then, price per kg = 819/50 
= 16.38 taka

  1. 5000/y
  2. y/200
  3. 2y
  4. None of these
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: If m> 0, y> 0, and x is m percent of 2y, then, in terms of y, m is what percent of x?

Solution: 
x = (m/100) × 2y 
⇒ x/m = y/50
m/x = 50/y
⇒ m/x = (50/y) × 100% =5000/y%

The ratio of investments of A, B, and C is 2 : 3 : 4, and their profit ratio is 1 : 2 : 3. If A invested for 12 months, find for how many months C invested.
  1. 16 Months
  2. 18 Months
  3. 22 Months
  4. 24 Months
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: The ratio of investments of A, B, and C is 2 : 3 : 4, and their profit ratio is 1 : 2 : 3. If A invested for 12 months, find for how many months C invested.

Solution:
Let the investments of A, B, and C be:
IA : IB : IC = 2 : 3 : 4

Let the time periods of investment be:
TA : TB : TC = ?

Profit = investment × time,
PA : PB : PC = 1 : 2 : 3

So:
IA × TA : IB × TB : IC × TC = 1 : 2 : 3

Substitute investments in ratio form:
⇒ 2 × 12 : 3 × TB : 4 × TC = 1 : 2 : 3
⇒ 24 : 3TB : 4TC = 1 : 2 : 3

Find multiplier
Let k be the factor:
⇒ 24 = 1 × k 
 ⇒ k = 24

Then:
3TB = 2 × k
⇒ 3TB = 2 × 24
⇒ 3TB = 48
⇒ TB = 48/3
⇒ T= 16 months

Again,
4TC = 3 × k
⇒ 4TC = 3 × 24
⇒ 4TC = 72
⇒ TC = 72/4
⇒ TC = 18 months

Question: A man buys Tk. 20 shares paying 9% dividend. The man wants to have an interest of 12% on his money. The market value of each share is-

Solution:
From Tk. 100 one can earn dividend Tk. 9
From Tk. 1 one can earn dividend Tk. 9/100
From Tk. 20 one can earn dividend Tk. (9 × 20)/100 = Tk. 9/5

If interest Tk. 12 then the market Value Tk. 100
If interst Tk. 1 then the market Value Tk. 100/12
If interst Tk. 9/5 then the market Value Tk. (100 × 9)/(12 × 5)
= Tk. 15
