ব্যাখ্যা

Question: If 6,250 Taka is invested at 12% simple interest, how much time will it take for the interest to reach 3,000 Taka?

Answer: 
Given, 
P = 6250 Taka
I = 3000 Taka
r = 12% = 0.12
Time = n

We know,
I = Pnr
n = I/Pr
n = 3000/(6250×0.12)
n = 4 years

There is 60% increase in an amount in 6 years at simple interest. What will be the compound interest of Tk. 12000 after 3 years at the same rate?
  1. Tk. 3972
  2. Tk. 4100
  3. Tk. 3784
  4. Tk. 4248
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: There is 60% increase in an amount in 6 years at simple interest. What will be the compound interest of Tk. 12000 after 3 years at the same rate?

Solution:
Given that,
Increase in amount after 6 years = 60%

We know,
A = P(1 + r/100)n
simple Interest = (principal × rate × time)/100

Now,
Let the amount at the 1st year be 100x
∴ Increased in amount = 60% of 100x = 60x
⇒ 60x = (100x × 6 × r)/100
⇒ 6r = 60
⇒ r = 60/6 = 10
∴ r = 10% 

∴ Compound Interest after 3 years = P(1 + r/100)n - P
= 12000(1 + 10/100)3 - 12000
= 12000 × (11/10)3 - 12000
= 12000 × (11/10) × (11/10) × (11/10) - 12000
= 15972 - 12000
= Tk. 3972

∴ The required answer is Tk. 3972

A, B and C enter into a partnership with a certain capital in which A's contribus10,000. If out of a total profit of Tk. 1000, A gets Tk. 500, B gets Tk. 300 then C's capital is
  1. ক) Tk. 4,000
  2. খ) Tk. 3,600
  3. গ) Tk. 4,800
  4. ঘ) Tk. 4,400
ব্যাখ্যা
According to the problem,
Total profit is = 1000 TK,
A’s profit = 500 TK
B’s profit = 300 TK
∴ C’s profit is = (Total profit – (A + B)’ profit) = (1000 − 800) = 200

∴ Profit Ratio between A, B and C is
⇒ 500 : 300 : 200
⇒ 5 : 3 : 2
Let their capitals be 5x, 3x, and 2x respectively.

According to the problem,
A’s contribution is TK. 10000.
∴ 5x = 10000
⇒ x = 2000

∴ C’s share = 2x
                 = 2 × 2000 
                 = 4000Tk

A and B can finish a job together in x days. If A alone can complete the job in x + 3 days, and B alone can complete it in x + 12 days, what is the value of x?
  1. 8
  2. 4
  3. 6
  4. 9
  5. 18
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: A and B can finish a job together in x days. If A alone can complete the job in x + 3 days, and B alone can complete it in x + 12 days, what is the value of x?

Solution:
A's 1 day's work = 1/(x + 3) part
B's 1 day's work = 1/(x + 12) part
(A + B)'s 1 day's work = 1/x

ATQ,
1/(x + 3) + 1/(x + 12) = 1/x
⇒ (x + 12 + x + 3)/[(x + 3)(x + 12)] = 1/x
⇒ (2x + 15)/(x2 + 15x + 36) = 1/x
⇒ 2x2 + 15x = x2 + 15x + 36
⇒ x2 = 36
∴ x = 6

Solution: 
ধরি,
বালিকার সংখ্যা = x জন
বালকের সংখ্যা = (100 - x) জন

1 জন বালক পায় 3.60 টাকা 
(100 - x) জন বালক পায় = 3.60 (100 - x) টাকা 

1 জন বালিকা পায় = 2.40 টাকা
x জন বালিকা পায় = 2.40x টাকা 

প্রশ্নমতে,
 3.60(100 - x) + 2.40x = 312
⇒ 360 - 3.60x + 2.40x = 312
⇒ 360 - 1.2x = 312 
⇒ 360 - 312 = 1.2x
⇒ 1.2x = 48 
⇒ x = 48/1.2 
⇒ x  = 40

Question: The average of the first 6 numbers out of 7 is 25, and the average of the last 6 numbers is 29. If the first number is 10, what is the 7th number? 

Solution:
Given that,
First number = 10
Average of first 6 = 25
Average of last 6 = 29

Let,
the seven numbers be A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7
A1 = 10

Sum of first 6 numbers = 6 × 25 = 150 …(1)
Sum of last 6 numbers = 6 × 29 = 174 …(2)

Subtract equation (1) from (2):
(A2 + A3 + A4 + A5 + A6 + A7) - (A1 + A2 + A3 + A4 + A5 + A6) = 174 - 150 
⇒ A7 - A1 = 24 
⇒ A7 - 10 = 24 
⇒ A7 = 34

∴ The 7th number is 34.

A certain amount becomes Tk. 3000 at a simple interest of 12%. Keeping the time period the same, if the rate of simple interest is increased by 3%, the amount will become 300 Tk/- more than in the previous setting. What is the amount? Also find the time period.
  1. ক) Tk. 1500 and 7 years
  2. খ) Tk. 1800 and 5.5 years
  3. গ) Tk. 1900 and 8.25 years
  4. ঘ) Tk. 2000 and 20 years
ব্যাখ্যা

Let Simple Interest be S
Original sum 'P' and Time 'T' remains the same
Also, 3% increase in rate of interested means, New rate = 15%
Increase of 300 Rs/- in the final amount means, New amount = Tk. 3300/-

So, Amount 2 - Amount 1 = (P + S1) - (P + S2) = S1 - S2
∴ 3300 - 3000 = S1 - S2
∴ S1 - S2 = 300

∴ {(P × R × T)/100} - {(P × 12 × T)/100 = 300
3PT/100 = 300
PT = 10000
For R = 15%,

Simple interest = (P × 15 × T)/100
= (10000 × 15)/100
= Tk. 1500

Original sum = Amount - Interest = 3300 - 1500 = Tk. 1800 (Principle amount)

Also, PT = 10000
T = 10000/1800
= 5.55 years.

মোট পণ্য = ১০০ টি 
১০০টি পণ্যের মোট ক্রয়মূল্য = ১০০ টাকা 

১০% লাভে,
২৫টি পণ্যের বিক্রয়মূল্য = (২৫ × ১১০)/১০০ =  ২৭.৫ টাকা 

২০% ক্ষতিতে 
৭৫টি পণ্যের বিক্রয়মূল্য = (৭৫ × ৮০)/১০০ = ৬০ টাকা 

∴ মোট বিক্রয়মূল্য = (২৭.৫ + ৬০) টাকা = ৮৭.৫ টাকা 

∴ ক্ষতি = ১০০ - ৮৭.৫ = ১২.৫ 
∴ শতকরা ক্ষতি = {(১২.৫/১০০) × ১০০}% = ১২.৫%

For what value of k (k > 0) will the lines 3x + 4y = 1 and 2x + Ky = 7 be parallel?
  1. 8/5
  2. 3/4
  3. 7/3
  4. 8/3
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: For what value of k (k > 0) will the lines 3x + 4y = 1 and 2x + Ky = 7 be parallel?

Solution:
Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal.
Rewrite both equations in slope-intercept form (y = mx + c).

Now first line,
3x + 4y = 1
⇒ 4y = - 3x + 1
⇒ y = (- 3/4)x + 1/4
∴ Slope m1 = - 3/4

And second line, 
2x + Ky = 7
⇒ Ky = - 2x + 7
⇒ y = (- 2/K)x + 7/K     (since k > 0, k ≠ 0)
∴ Slope m2 = - 2/k

For the lines to be parallel:
m1 = m2
⇒ - 3/4 = - 2/k
⇒ 3/4 = 2/k
⇒ 3k = 8
∴ k = 8/3

So the lines will be parallel when k = 8/3.

Question: Find the H.C.F. of p(x) = 2x3 - 3x2 - 2x + 3 and q(x) = 3x2 + 8x + 5.

Solution:
Given that,
p(x) = 2x3 - 3x2 - 2x + 3 and q(x) = 3x2 + 8x + 5

Now,
The factors of p(x) = 2x3 - 3x2 - 2x + 3
⇒ x2(2x - 3) - 1(2x - 3)
⇒ (x2 - 1)(2x - 3)
⇒ (x + 1)(x - 1)(2x - 3)

And,
The factors of q(x) = 3x2 + 8x + 5
⇒ 3x2 + 5x + 3x + 5
⇒ x(3x + 5) + 1(3x + 5)
⇒ (3x + 5)(x + 1)

∴ The required H.C.F. is (x + 1).

A boat covers a certain distance in half an hour downstream with the speed of 20km/hr in still water and the speed of the current is 4km/hr. Then the distance travelled by the boat is:
  1. 6km
  2. 7km
  3. 12km
  4. 4km
ব্যাখ্যা

Given that,
The speed of a boat in still water is 20 km/hr
The speed of the stream is 4 km/hr.
Then,
The speed downstream = (20 + 4) km/hr
= 24 km/hr
The distance travelled in half an hour = 24 x 1/2
= 12 km
Hence the distance travelled by the boat is 12 km.

ভাঙা অংশটির দৈর্ঘ্য, AC = x 
অবশিষ্ট অংশটির দৈর্ঘ্য, AB = (90 - x) 

আমরা জানি, 
sin θ = লম্ব/অতিভুজ 
sin 30°= BC/CD
∴ 1/2 = (90 - x)/x
⇒ x = 2(90 - x)

Question: An observer 1.6 m tall is 20√3 m away from a tower. The angle of elevation from his eye to the top of the tower is 30°. The height of the tower is:

Solution:

Here, 
Height of the observer AB = 1.6 m 
Distance  between observer and tower AC = 20√3 m
∴ CE = AB = 1.6 m 
Height of the tower is CD = CE + DE.

From ΔBDE we get,
BE = AC = 20√3 m

Now,
tan30° = DE/BE 
⇒ 1/√3 = DE/(20√3)
⇒ DE = (20√3)/√3 
∴ DE = 20 

∴ The height of the tower is = CE + DE = 1.6 + 20 m = 21.6 m

দুজন ব্যক্তির মধ্যে একটি হ্যান্ডশেক হয়, যা Combination দিয়ে প্রকাশ করা যায়।

প্রশ্নমতে,
xC2 = 105
⇒ x!/(2!(x - 2)!) = 105
⇒ {x(x - 1)(x - 2)!}/{2 × 1 × (x - 2)!} = 105
⇒ x(x - 1)/2 = 105
⇒ x(x - 1) = 210
⇒ x2 - x - 210 = 0
⇒ x2 - 15x + 14x - 210 = 0
⇒ x(x - 15) + 14(x - 15) = 0
⇒ (x - 15)(x + 14) = 0

হয় x - 15 = 0 অথবা x + 14 = 0
∴ x = 15 অথবা x = -14

যেহেতু লোকসংখ্যা ঋণাত্মক হতে পারে না, তাই x = 15

Question: Animesh takes twice as much as Bimol or thrice as much time as Rafi to finish a piece of work. Working together, they can finish the work in 3 days. Animesh can do the work alone in -

Solution:
Let, Animesh, Bimol, and Rafi take 6x, 6x/2 = 3x, and 6x/3 = 2x respectively.

Now, 
(1/6x) + (1/3x) + (1/2x) = 1/3
⇒ 6/6x = 1/3
⇒ 1/x = 1/3
⇒ x = 3

So, Animesh takes = 6 × 3 = 18 days

প্রশ্ন: কমলার দাম ৮% কমে যাওয়ায় ৫০০ টাকায় পূর্বাপেক্ষা ১ হালি কমলা বেশি পাওয়া যায়। এক ডজন কমলার বর্তমান মূল্য কত?

সমাধান:
কমলার দাম ৮% কমে যাওয়ায়,
১০০ টাকায় কমে = ৮ টাকা
১ টাকায় কমে = ৮/১০০ টাকা
৫০০ টাকায় কমে = (৮ × ৫০০)/১০০ টাকা
= ৪০ টাকা

শর্তমতে, ৪০ টাকায় পাওয়া যায় ১ হালি বা ৪টি কমলা।
∴ ১ টি কমলার দাম = ৪০/৪ = ১০ টাকা
∴ ১২টি কমলার দাম = ১২ × ১০ = ১২০ টাকা

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: A train having length 150 m passes a platform of 550 m length. The time taken for it is 56 seconds. In how much time will this train take to pass a platform of 250 m length?

Solution:
We know,
When a train passes a platform, the total distance to be covered is,
Length of train + Length of platform

Case 1:
Distance covered = 150 m + 550 m = 700 m
Time taken = 56 seconds
∴ Speed of the train = Distance/Time
= 700/56
= 12.5 m/s

Case 2: 
Length of new platform = 250 m
∴ Total distance to be covered now = 150 + 250 = 400 m
Time taken to pass the new platform = Distance/Speed
= 400m/12.5 m/s
= 32 seconds

So the train will take 32 seconds to pass the platform of 250 m length.

  4. 840
ব্যাখ্যা

There are 9 letters in the given word, out of which 4 are vowels.
In the word ''CANDIDATE'' we treat the vowels ''AIAE'' as one letter.
Thus, we have CNDDT(AIAE).
Now, we have to arrange 6 letters, out of which D occurs twice.
Therefore,
Number of ways of arranging these letters = 6!/2!
= 720/2
= 360 ways.
Now,
AIAE has 4 letters, in which A occurs 2 times and the rest are different.
Number of ways of arranging these letters = 4!/2! = (1 × 2 × 3 × 4)/2
= 12
Therefore, required number of words = (360 × 12)
= 4320.

Question: If a pen cost Tk.50 after 10% discount, then what is the actual price or marked price (MP) of the pen?

Solution:
Since, we know;
MP - D = SP ..................(1)
where MP is marked price, D is discount, SP is selling price.

Percentage discount, D% = D/MP × 100
⇒ D = (D% × MP)/100 ........(2)

Substitute value of D in (1).
MP - (D% × MP)/100 = SP
⇒ MP × (100 - D%)/100 = SP

Putting the given values in formula
MP × (100 - 10)/100 = 50
⇒ MP × (90/100) = 50
⇒ MP = (50 × 100)/90
∴ MP = 55.55

Alternative:
SP Tk. 90 when MP Tk. 100
∴ SP Tk. 1 when MP Tk. (100/90)
∴ SP Tk. 50 when MP Tk. (100 × 50)/90
= Tk. 55.55

Question: If the side length of a square is increased by 20%, by what percentage is the area of the square increased?

Solution:
ধরা যাক, বর্গক্ষেত্রের মূল বাহুর দৈর্ঘ্য = a একক
সুতরাং, মূল ক্ষেত্রফল = a2 বর্গ একক

বাহুর দৈর্ঘ্য ২০% বৃদ্ধির পর নতুন বাহুর দৈর্ঘ্য = a + (a × 20/100)
= a + 0.2a
= 1.2a একক

নতুন ক্ষেত্রফল = (1.2a)2
= 1.44a2 বর্গ একক

ক্ষেত্রফল বৃদ্ধি = নতুন ক্ষেত্রফল - মূল ক্ষেত্রফল
= 1.44a2 - a2
= 0.44a2 বর্গ একক

শতকরা বৃদ্ধির হার = (ক্ষেত্রফল বৃদ্ধি/মূল ক্ষেত্রফল) × 100%
= (0.44a2/a2) × 100%
= 44%

সুতরাং, বর্গক্ষেত্রটির ক্ষেত্রফল 44% বৃদ্ধি পাবে।

Solution:
ধরি, সুদের হার = r%
যেহেতু সময় এবং সুদের হার সমান,
∴ সময়, n = r বছর
আসল (P) = 2500 টাকা
মোট সুদ (I) = 1600 টাকা
আমরা জানি,
সরল সুদ, SI = (P × r × n)/100
⇒ 1600 = (2500 × r × r)/100 [এখানে, n = r]
⇒ 1600 = 25 × r2
⇒ r2 = 1600/25
⇒ r2 = 64
⇒ r = √64
⇒ r = 8

∴ সুদের হার ছিল 8%।

  5. None
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: If 3x/4 = 1, then x is greater than 3/4 approximately by what percent?

Solution: 
Given that, 
3x/4 = 1
⇒ 3x = 4
∴ x = 4/3

∴ Difference = x - (3/4) = (4/3) - (3/4)
= (16 - 9)/12
= 7/12

∴ Percentage increase = (Difference/Original)​ × 100%
= {(7/12)/(3/4)}​ × 100%
= (7/9) ​ × 100%
= 77.78%
= 78%

∴ Rounded to the nearest whole number 78%.  (Correct answer গ)

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: A and B are two positive integers such that A × B = 96. Which of the following cannot be the value of A + B?

Solution:
Factor pairs of 96:
(1, 96) → A + B = 97
(2, 48) → A + B = 50
(3, 32) → A + B = 35
(4, 24) → A + B = 28
(6, 16) → A + B = 22
(8, 12) → A + B = 20

So, possible values of A + B are:
97, 50, 35, 28, 22, 20
Among options, 49 is not possible.

  4. 13
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: The difference between two numbers is 5 and the difference between their square is 65. What is the smaller number?

Solution:
Let the numbers be x and y
Then,
x - y = 5.........(i) 
x2 - y2 = 65
Or (x + y)(x - y) = 105
5(x + y) = 65
x + y = 13 ....... (ii)

by adding (i) and (ii) we get,
2x = 5 + 13
2x = 18
x = 9 

From (ii)  we get
x + y = 13
9 + y = 13
y = 13 - 9
y = 4

Hence, the smaller number is 4
