Solution:
Let the cost price be Tk. 100.
Marked price = Tk. 110 (10% above CP)
Discount = 10% on the marked price = 10% of 110 = Tk. 11
∴ Selling price = 110 - 11 = Tk. 99
∴ Loss = CP - SP = 100 - 99 = Tk. 1
∴ % of loss = 1%

Solution:
আমরা জানি,
ত্রিভুজের যেকোনো দুই বাহুর সমষ্টি তৃতীয় বাহু অপেক্ষা বৃহত্তর হতে হবে।
এখানে, আমরা প্রত্যেকটি ত্রিভুজের ক্ষুদ্রতম দুইটি বাহুর যোগফলকে তৃতীয় (বৃহত্তম) বাহুর সাথে তুলনা করে পাই:
ক) 7 + 10 = 17 > 12; ∴ ত্রিভুজ আঁকা সম্ভব।
খ) 6 + 9 = 15 < 16; ∴ ত্রিভুজ আঁকা সম্ভব নয়।
গ) 5 + 12 = 17 > 13; ∴ ত্রিভুজ আঁকা সম্ভব।
ঘ) 8 + 15 = 23 > 20; ∴ ত্রিভুজ আঁকা সম্ভব।
Number of shares = 25000
Face value of each share = Tk. 15
Let R be the rate of interest.
Dividend per share = 15 × R/100
Total dividend = 25000 × 15 × R/100
As per the question: 25000 × 15 × R/100
= 30000
R = 30000/3750 = 8
So, the dividend is 8%.
The given word contains 7 different letters.
Keeping the vowels (AUIO) together, we take them as 1 letter.
Then,
we have to arrange the letters CTN(AUIO).
Now, 4 letters can be arranged in 4! = 24 ways.
The vowels (AUIO) can be arranged themselves in 4! = 24 ways.
∴ Required number of ways = (24 × 24)
= 576.
Let the required speed be x mph
ATQ,
300/60 + 200/x = 7
Or, 200/x = 7 - 5
Or, 200/x = 2
So, x = 100
Let the share of A was x
A has 20 more than B.
So, Share of B was (x – 20)
And C had 15 more than A So, Share of C was (x + 15)
ATQ,
A + B + C = 355
Or, x + x – 20 + x + 15 = 355
Or, 3x – 5 = 355
Or, 3x = 360
Or, x = 120
So, Share of C = x + 15 = 120 + 15 = 135
Question: If the average of 'm' numbers is 2n2 and the average of 'n' numbers is 2m2, what is the average of the combined (m + n) numbers?
Solution:
দেওয়া আছে,
'm' সংখ্যার গড় = 2n2
∴ m সংখ্যার সমষ্টি = m × 2n2
'n' সংখ্যার গড় = 2m2
∴ 'n' সংখ্যার সমষ্টি = n × 2m2
∴ মোট সমষ্টি = (m × 2n2) + (n × 2m2)
= 2mn(n + m)
∴ তাদের গড় = মোট সমষ্টি/(m + n)
= 2mn(m + n)/(m + n)
= 2mn
Question: In how many years will Tk. 20,000 amount to Tk. 28,800 at 20% per annum compound interest?
Solution:
Given that,
Principal, P = Tk. 20,000
Amount, C = Tk. 28,800
Rate, r = 20%
We know,
C = P(1 + r)n
⇒ 28,800 = 20,000 × {(1 + (20/100)}n
⇒ 28,800 = 20,000 × (6/5)n
⇒ 28,800/20,000 = (6/5)n
⇒ 36/25 = (6/5)n
⇒ (6/5)2 = (6/5)n
∴ n = 2 years
Question: The average weight of 40 students in a class is 45 kg. If 10 new students are admitted, the average weight increases by 1 kg. What is the average weight of the new students?
Solution:
40 জন শিক্ষার্থীর মোট ওজন = 40 × 45 = 1800 kg
10 জন নতুন শিক্ষার্থী ভর্তি হওয়ায় মোট শিক্ষার্থীর সংখ্যা = 40 + 10 = 50 জন
নতুন গড় ওজন = 45 + 1 = 46 kg
সুতরাং, 50 জন শিক্ষার্থীর মোট ওজন = 50 × 46 = 2300 kg
নতুন 10 জন শিক্ষার্থীর মোট ওজন = 2300 - 1800 = 500 kg
∴ নতুন 10 জন শিক্ষার্থীর গড় ওজন = 500/10 = 50 kg
সুতরাং, নতুন শিক্ষার্থীদের গড় ওজন 50 kg
Question: If a + b + c = 15 and a2 + b2 + c2 = 77, what is the value of ab + bc + ca = ?
Solution:
Given that,
a + b + c = 15 and a2 + b2 + c2 = 77
We know,
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
⇒ 152 = 77 + 2(ab + bc + ca) ; [Substitute the given values]
⇒ 225 = 77 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
⇒ 2(ab + bc + ca) = 225 - 77
⇒ 2(ab + bc + ca) = 148
⇒ ab + bc + ca = 148/2
∴ ab + bc + ca = 74
Question: What is the H.C.F. of the following fractions?
3/6, 6/9, 9/12
Solution:
আমরা জানি,
ভগ্নাংশের গসাগু = (লবের গসাগু)/(হরের লসাগু)
এখানে লব = 3, 6 এবং 9
3 = 3 × 1
6 = 3 × 2
9 = 3 × 3
∴ লবের গসাগু (H.C.F.) = 3
হর = 6, 9 এবং 12
6 = 2 × 3
9 = 32
12 = 22 × 3
∴ হরের লসাগু (L.C.M.) = 22 × 32
= 4 × 9 = 36
ভগ্নাংশের গসাগু = লবের গসাগু/হরের লসাগু
= 3/36
= 1/12
Let their initial investments be x, 3x and 5x respectively
Then,
=A:B:C
= (x×4+2x×8) : {3x×4+(3x/2)×8} : {5x×4+(5x/2)×8}
= 20x:24x:40x
= 5:6:10
A tap can fill a tank in 4 hours.
Therefore the tap can fill half the tank in 2 hours.
Remaining = 1/2
After half the tank is filled, three more similar taps are opened.
Hence, the total number of taps becomes 4.
Part filled by one tap in 1 hour = 1/4
Part filled by four taps in 1 hour = 4 × (1/4) = 1
i.e., 4 taps can fill the remaining half in 30 minutes.
Total time taken
= 2 hour + 30 minute = 2 hour 30 minutes.
Question: If √5n = 625, then the value of n is?
Solution:
Given that, √5n = 625
⇒ √5n = 54
⇒ (√5n)2 = (54)2
⇒ 5n = 58
∴ n = 8
In this question, we are having perimeter.
We know Perimeter = 2(l+b), right
So, 2(l+b) = 340
As we have to make 1 meter boundary around this,
so Area of boundary = ((l+2)+(b+2)-lb)
= 2(l+b)+4 = 340+4 = 344
So required cost will be = 344 × 10 = 3440
We need to SELECT people.
[SELECT = Combination = nCr = n!/r!(n-r)!
There are 20 stations. A ticket is needed between 2 stops.
That means, we simply need to select 2 stops from possible 20 stops.
That can be done by 20C2 = 20!/2!(20 - 2)! = 20!/2!18! = 190 ways.
This is when we start from one side.
When we travel from the other side we will need a separate ticket.
That means while going from A to B and B to A, we will need separate tickets.
So again on another side, we need 190 tickets.
Total tickets = 190 + 190 = 380 tickets.
Question: There were 1000 students in a school in 2024. In 2025, 5% of the male students left, and 15% new female students joined the school. But the total number of students remained unchanged. How many female students were in the school in 2024?
Solution:
ধরি, 2024 সালে ছাত্রীর সংখ্যা ছিল x
এবং ছাত্রের সংখ্যা ছিল (1000 - x)
প্রশ্ন অনুযায়ী, 2025 সালে ছাত্রীর সংখ্যা বৃদ্ধি পায় 15% এবং ছাত্রের সংখ্যা হ্রাস পায় 5%। কিন্তু মোট ছাত্রছাত্রীর সংখ্যা অপরিবর্তিত থাকে।
প্রশ্নমতে,
(x + x এর 15%) + {(1000 - x) - (1000 - x) এর 5%} = 1000
⇒ x + (15x/100) + (1000 - x) - {5(1000 - x)/100} = 1000
⇒ 15x/100 - 5(1000 - x)/100 = 0
⇒ 15x - 5(1000 - x) = 0
⇒ 15x - 5000 + 5x = 0
⇒ 20x = 5000
⇒ x = 5000/20
⇒ x = 250
সুতরাং, 2024 সালে স্কুলে ছাত্রীর সংখ্যা ছিল 250 জন।
Question: Rafi weighs 72 kg. If he reduces his weight in the ratio 6 : 5, find his new weight in kg.
Solution:
ধরি, রাফির পূর্বের ওজন = 6x
রাফির পরের ওজন = 5x
প্রশ্নমতে,
6x = 72
⇒ x = 72 / 6 = 12
∴ ওজন কমে যাওয়ার পর হবে = 5x = 5 × 12 = 60 kg
Question: Two trains are running in opposite directions. They cross a man standing on a platform in 28 seconds and 10 seconds respectively. They cross each other in 24 seconds. What is the ratio of their speeds?
Solution:
Given that,
Train one crosses a man in 28 seconds
Train two crosses the man in 10 seconds
They both cross each other in 24 seconds
We know,
Time = Distance/speed
As the trains travel in opposite directions, the speed of the trains added
Now,
Let the speed of the first train & second train be x m/s and y m/s respectively.
Length of the first train is 28x metres
Length of the second train is 10y meters
According to the question,
⇒ 24 = (28x + 10y)/(x + y)
⇒ 24x + 24y = 28x + 10y
⇒ 14y = 4x
⇒ x/y = 7/2
∴ The ratio of the speed of the train is 7 : 2
Let, X’s investment 9x and Y’s investment 16x
X’s profit less than that of Y is = (16x - 9x)/16x × 100
= (7×100)/16
= 175/4
= 43(3/4)
Let the required number of rounds be x
More radius, Less rounds (Indirect proportion)
∴ 20:14::70:x
⇔ (20×x) = (14×70)
⇔ x = (14×70)/20
⇔ x = 49
Average cost of 5 apples and 4 mangoes = Tk. 36
Total cost = 36 × 9 = 324
Average cost of 7 apples and 8 mangoes = Tk. 48
Total cost = 48 × 15 = 720
Total cost of 12 apples and 12 mangoes = 324 + 720 = 1044
Therefore, cost of 24 apples and 24 mangoes = 1044 × 2 = 2088
Question: Rahim and Karim can finish a work together in 6 hours. If Rahim takes 3 times as long as Karim to finish the job alone, how long will Karim take to finish the job alone?
Solution:
ধরি, করিম একা কাজটি শেষ করতে সময় নেয় = x ঘন্টা
রহিম একা কাজটি শেষ করতে সময় নেয় = 3x ঘন্টা
এখন,
করিমের 1 ঘন্টার কাজের পরিমাণ = 1/x অংশ
রহিমের 1 ঘন্টার কাজের পরিমাণ = 1/(3x) অংশ
তারা একসাথে 1 ঘন্টায় কাজ করতে পারে = (1/x) + 1/(3x)
= (3+1)/(3x)
= 4/(3x) অংশ
একসাথে কাজটি শেষ করতে সময় লাগে = 6 ঘন্টা
অর্থাৎ, 6 ঘন্টায় তারা পুরো 1টি কাজ শেষ করে
তাহলে,
(4/3x) × 6 = 1
⇒ 24/(3x) = 1
⇒ 8/x = 1
⇒ x = 8
∴ করিমের কাজটি একা শেষ করতে 8 ঘন্টা সময় লাগবে।
Question: Karim and Bablu can build a wooden table in 3 days. Bablu can do it alone in 5 days. How many days would it take Karim to do this job alone?
Solution:
Let's say Karim's work rate per day = 1/x, where x is the days he takes alone
bablu's work rate per day = 1/5 (as he takes 5 days alone)
Together they take 3 days, so their combined rate = 1/3
ATQ,
(1/x) + (1/5) = 1/3
⇒ (5 + x)/5x = 1/3
⇒ 15 + 3x = 5x
⇒ 15 + 3x - 5x = 0
⇒ 15 - 2x = 0
⇒ 2x = 15
∴ x = 7.5
Therefore, Karim would take 7.5 days to build the table alone.

Speed downstream = 22/4 = 5.5 kmph
Speed upstream = 22/5 = 4.4 kmph
Speed of the boat in still water = (5.5 + 4.4)/2
= 4.95 kmph.
Question: If |2x + 5| < 3, then for what values of p and q will p < 3x - 2 < q hold?
Solution:
Given that,
|2x + 5| < 3
⇒ - 3 < 2x + 5 < 3
⇒ - 3 - 5 < 2x + 5 - 5 < 3 - 5
⇒ - 8 < 2x < -2
⇒ - 4 < x < -1 ; [dividing by 2]
⇒ - 12 < 3x < - 3 ; [Now multiply all parts by 3]
⇒ - 12 - 2 < 3x - 2 < - 3 - 2 ; [Subtract 2 from all parts]
⇒ - 14 < 3x - 2 < - 5
Now comparing with p < 3x - 2 < q, Then we get,
∴ p = - 14 and q = - 5
Time taken by the tap to make the tank half full= 3 hrs.
Remaining part = 1/2
Part filled by 4 taps in 1 hour= (4×1/6) = 2/3
2/3 part is filled in 1 hour.
1/2 part is filled in (3/2×1/2) hr = 3/4 hr = 45 min.
Required time = 3hrs 45 min.
Question: A reduction of 20% in the price of potato enables a dealer to purchase 25 kg more potato for TK. 25000. What is the reduced price per kg of potato?
Solution:
Let, the original price of potato be TK.x kg
After reduction the price becomes = x − 20% of x = (4x/5) per kg
Now,
25000/(4x/5) − 25000/x = 25
or, 25000 × (5/4x) - (25000/x) = 25
or, (31250/x) - (25000/x) = 25
or, (31250 - 25000)/x = 25
or, 6250/x = 25
or, x = 6250/25
∴ x = 250 Tk.
Hence, new price = (4 × 250)/5 = 200 TK. per kg
Question: The average of a and b is 30, and the average of b and c is 40. If b = 36 than find the value of (a + c).
Solution:
Given b = 36
Average of a and b = 30
a + b = 30 × 2
⇒ a + b = 60
⇒ a + 36 = 60
⇒ a = 60 - 36
∴ a = 24
Average of b and c = 40
b + c = 40 × 2
⇒ b + c = 80
⇒ c = 80 - 36
∴ c = 44
Now,
a + c = 24 + 44 = 68
Question: A sells an article to B at a profit of 10% B sells the article back to A at a loss of 10%. In this transaction -
Solution:
Let CP was 100 for A originally
A sells article to B at 10% profit,
CP for B = 100 + 10% of 100 = 110
Now, B sells it A again with loss 10%
Now, CP for A this time = 110 - 10% of 110 = 99
A makes Profit = 110 - 99 = 11
∴ %profit for A = (11 × 100)/100 = 11%
Question: If 2x - 7 ≤ 11, then-
Solution:
Given,
⇒ 2x - 7 ≤ 11
⇒ 2x - 7 + 7 ≤ 11 + 7
⇒ 2x ≤ 18
∴ x ≤ 9
Question: If a2 - 4a + 1 = 0, then the value of a3 + 1/a3 = ?
Solution:
Given that,
a2 - 4a + 1 = 0
⇒ a2 + 1 = 4a
⇒ (a2/a) + 1/a = 4a/a
∴ a + 1/a = 4
Now,
a3 + 1/a3
= (a + 1/a)3 - 3 × a × (1/a) (a + 1/a)
= 43 - (3 × 4)
= 64 - 12
= 52
Question: A man paid tax on 12000 Taka at the rate of 20%. He paid the tax in 10 equal payments. what is the amount of each payment?
Solution:
100 টাকায় কর দেয় = 20 টাকা
∴ 1 টাকায় কর দেয় = 20/100 = 1/5 টাকা
∴ 12000 টাকায় কর দেয় (20× 12000)/100 = 2400 টাকা
∴ মোট কর = 2400 টাকা
10টি সমান কিস্তিতে পরিশোধ করে।
∴ প্রতি কিস্তিতে পরিশোধ = 2400/10 = 240 টাকা
