ব্যাখ্যা

Question: A can finish a job in 18 days, B in 12 days, and C in 6 days. B and C begin the work together but have to stop after working for 2 days. How many days will A alone take to complete the remaining work?

Solution:
Work done by B and C in 1 day:
B's 1-day work = 1/12,
C's 1-day work = 1/6
B + C in 1 day = 1/12 + 1/6
= (1 + 2)/12
= 3/12
= 1/4

Work done by B and C in 2 days = 2 × 1/4 = 1/2

Remaining work = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2

A's 1-day work = 1/18

∴ Time for A to finish remaining work = (1/2) ÷ (1/18) 
= 1/2 × 18
= 9 days

If Lalon loses 8 pounds, he will weigh twice as much as his sister. Together they now weigh 278 pounds. What is Lalon’s present weight, in pounds?
  1. ক) 135
  2. খ) 139
  3. গ) 147
  4. ঘ) 188
ব্যাখ্যা

Let, L = Lalon’s current weight, in pounds
S = Sister’s current weight, in pounds

We are told that “If Lalon loses 8 pounds, he will weigh twice as much as his sister.'' We put this into an equation:
L – 8 = 2S
∴ L = 2S + 8...... (i)

Next, we are told that “Together they now weigh 278 pounds.” We can also put this into an equation.
L + S = 278........ (ii)
To solve this equation, we can substitute 2S + 8 from Equation (i) for the variable L in Equation 2:
2S + 8 + S = 278
3S = 270
S = 90

From equation (ii) we can find,
L = 278 - 90 = 188

  2. Tk. 15,125
  3. Tk. 18,125
  4. Tk. 19,000
ব্যাখ্যা

 Question: A toaster machine is priced at Tk. 25,000 and sold with two successive discounts of 15% and 10%. What is its final selling price?

Solution: 
Given,
Marked Price = Tk. 25000
Price after 15% discount
= 25000 - (15% of 25000)
= 25000 - 3750
= Tk. 21,250

Price after 10% discount
= 21250 - (10% of 21250)
= 21250 - 2125
= Tk. 19,125

∴ Final Selling Price = Tk. 19,125

The average of four consecutive even numbers is 27. Find the largest of these numbers.
  1. ক) 28
  2. খ) 30
  3. গ) 32
  4. ঘ) 40
ব্যাখ্যা

Consider the consecutive even numbers as : x, (x + 2), (x + 4) and (x+ 6)
Average = Sum of Quantities/Number of Quantities
{x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6)}/4 = 27
⇒ (4x + 12)/4 = 27
⇒ x + 3 = 27
⇒ x = 27 - 3
⇒ x = 24.

Therefore,
Largest number = (x + 6) = (24 + 6) = 30
Smallest number = 24.
Hence, the answer is 30.

What is the area of the triangle BCD?
  1. 52
  2. 48
  3. 54
  4. 42
  5. 46
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: What is the area of the triangle BCD?

Solution:
ΔBAC থেকে পিথাগোরাসের সূত্রানুযায়ী,
BC2 = AB2 - AC2 [BCA এক সমকোণ বলে]
⇒ BC2 = 102 - 62
⇒ BC2 = 64
∴ BC = 8

আবার, ΔDEB তে DEB এক সমকোণ বলে,
BE2 = BD2 - DE2
⇒ BE2 = 132 - 52
⇒ BE2 = 144
∴ BE = 12

DEBC এর ক্ষেত্রফল = (1/2) × (BC + ED) × BE [ট্রাপিজিয়াম DEBC তে BC এবং DE সমান্তরাল এবং তাদের মধ্যে লম্ব দূরত্ব EB]
= (1/2) × (8 + 5) × 12 = 78
ΔDEB এর ক্ষেত্রফল = (1/2) × 12 × 5 = 30
∴ ΔBCD এর ক্ষেত্রফল = 78 - 30 = 48

A shirt with a list price of Tk. 150 is sold for Tk. 105 after two successive discounts. If the second discount is 12.5%, what was the rate of the first discount? 
  1. 20%
  2. 30%
  3. 25%
  4. 33%
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: A shirt with a list price of Tk. 150 is sold for Tk. 105 after two successive discounts. If the second discount is 12.5%, what was the rate of the first discount?

Solution:
Let the first discount be x%.

∴ After the first discount,
∴ the price = (100 − x)% of 150 
= (100 − x)/100 × 150

After the second discount of 12.5%,
the selling price = 87.5% of the first discounted price
= 87.5/100 × (100 − x)/100 × 150

Given selling price = 105,
ATQ,
87.5/100 × (100 − x)/100 × 150 = 105
⇒ 100 − x = (105 × 100 × 100) / (87.5 × 150)
⇒ 100 − x = 80

∴ x = 100 − 80
= 20

∴ The first discount is 20%.

If 100 square marbles of equal size were required to pave a corridor of dimension 6m x 24m then the length of each marble is -
  1. 120 cm
  2. 144 cm
  3. 250cm
  4. 100 cm
ব্যাখ্যা

Dimension of the corridor = 6m x 24 m
Area of the corridor = 6 x 24 m2.
It is given that 100 square marbles are needed to cover the corridor of area 6 x 24 m2.
Area of each marble = 6 x 24 / 100 m2= 144 / 100 m2= 1.44 m2
Since the marbles are in square shape, the length of each marble = sqrt(1.44) m = 1.2 m
Hence the answer is 1.2m = 1.2 x 100 cm = 120 cm.

A pendulum strikes 5 times in 3 seconds and another pendulum strikes 7 times in 4 seconds. If both pendulums start striking at the same time, how many clear strikes can be listened to in a minute?
  1. 195
  2. 199
  3. 200
  4. 205
ব্যাখ্যা

First pendulum strikes once in 3/5 seconds.
Second pendulum strikes once in 4/7 seconds
L.C.M of 3/5 and 4/7
= (L.C.M of 3 and 4)/(H.C.F of 5 and 7)
= 12.
So, they strike together after every 12 seconds.
Thus,
they strike together {(60/12) + 1}
= 6 times in 1 minute.
∴ Total number of clear strikes heard
= [{60/(3/5)} + {60/(4/7)}] - 6
= {60 × (5/3) + 60 × (7/4)} - 6
= (100 + 105) - 6
= 199.

(Officer Cash 22 এর অনুরূপ) )

Solution:
ধরি,
Px = Qy = Rz = k
এখন,
Px = k
∴ P = k(1/x)

অনুরুপভাবে,
Qy = k
∴ Q = k(1/y)
এবং
Rz = k
∴ R = k(1/z)

আবার,
⇒ Q/p = R/Q
⇒ Q2 = PR
⇒ {k(1/y)}2 = k(1/x) × k(1/z)
⇒ k(2/y) = k(z + x)/xz
⇒ 2/y = (z + x)/xz
⇒ 2xz = y(z + x)
∴ 2z/(x + z) = y/x

∴ [2z/(x + z)]3 = y3/x3

Question: Two pipes A and B can fill a cistern in 24 and 36 minutes respectively. Both pipes are opened together, after how many minutes should B be turned off, so that the cistern be fill in 16 minutes?

Solution:
A can fill the cistern in 24 minutes
So in 1 min A can fill the cistern = 1/24 part
In 16 min, A can fill the cistern = 16/24 part
= 2/3 part

Remaining part = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3 rd

As B can fill full cistern in 36 minutes

  3. গ) Tk. 5500
  4. ঘ) Tk. 6000
ব্যাখ্যা

Let investment in 12% stock be Tk. x.
Then,
investment in 15% stock = Tk. (12000 - x)

∴ (12/120) × x + (15/125) × (12000 - x) = 1360
⇒ x/10 + 3/25(12000 - x) = 1360
⇒ 5x + 72000 - 6x = (1360 × 50)
⇒ x = 4000

Hence, Investment in 12% stock is Tk. 4000

4 years ago, the ratio of 1/2 of A’s age that time and four times of B’s age at the time were 5:12. Eight years hence, 1/2 of A’s age at that time will be less than B’s age at that time by 2 years. What is B’s present age?
  1. ক) 10 years
  2. খ) 14 years
  3. গ) 12 years

ব্যাখ্যা

Let the present age of A be a years and that of B be b years
Then, 4 years ago,
A's age = (a - 4)
B's age = (b - 4)
Now, according to the given information in question,
{(a - b)/2}/4(b - 4) = 5/12 or (a - 4)/2(4b - 16) = 5/12 or (a - 4)/(4b - 16) = 5/6
By cross multiplying we get
or, 6a - 24 = 20b - 80
or, 6a - 20b = -56
or, 10b - 3a = 28
After 8 years, 
(a + 8)2 + 2 = b + 8
or, a/2 + 4 + 2 = b + 8
or, b - a/2 = -2
or, 2b - a = -4 .......(i)
a = 2b + 4 ......(ii)
Putting the value of a in equation (i), we get
10b - 3(2b + 4) = 28
or, 4b = 40
∴ b = 10
Hence, the present age of B is 10 years.

  4. 4 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: Rahman is a boatman. He can row a boat at the speed of 5 km/hr upstream and 15 km/hr downstream. Find the speed of the stream.

Solution:
Let’s denote:
B as Speed of the boat in still water (km/h)
S as Speed of the stream (km/h)

Speed of the boat upstream is the speed of the boat in still water minus the speed of the stream:
B - S = 5 km/hr -------- (1)

Speed of the boat downstream is the speed of the boat in still water plus the speed of the stream:
B + S = 15 km/hr -------- (2)

(1) + (2)
B - S = 5
B + S = 15
2B = 20
∴ B = 10 km/hr

Putting the value of B in (2)
∴ S = (15 - 10) km/hr = 5 km/hr

∴ The speed of the stream is 5 km/hr

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: In a tourist group of 100 people, 55 speak French, 40 speak Spanish, and 20 speak none of the languages. How many of them speak just one language?

Solution:
 

Let,
Number of people who can speak both languages = x persons
∴ Number of people who speak only French = (55 - x) persons
∴ Number of people who speak only Spanish = (40 - x) persons

Given that,
Number of people who speak none of the languages = 20 persons

According to the question,
Only French + Both + Only Spanish = Total students - Those who speak none
⇒ (55 - x) + x + (40 - x) = 100 - 20 
⇒ 95 - x = 80
⇒ x = 95 - 80
∴ x = 15

∴ Only French = (55 - 15) = 40 persons
∴ Only Spanish = (40 - 15) = 25 persons

∴ Number of people who speak only one language (French or Spanish) = (40 + 25) = 65 persons

Question: Mr. Tamal purchased stocks for Tk.1,500 and sold 2nd/3 of it after its value doubled. He sold the remaining stock at 5 times of its purchase price. What v. as the total profit?

Solution: 
স্টকের মূল্য = ১৫০০ টাকা
দ্বিগুণ বাড়ার পর , এর মূল্য = ১৫০০ × ২ 
= ৩০০০ টাকা 

৩০০০ এর ২/৩ অংশ 
= ২০০০ টাকা 
বাকি আছে = ১ - ২/৩
= ১/৩ অংশ 

বৃদ্ধি পাবার আগে ১/৩ অংশের দাম = ১৫০০ ×১/৩ টাকা
= ৫০০ টাকা 

১/৩ অংশের নতুন দাম = ৫০০ × ৫
= ২৫০০ টাকা 

মোট বিক্রয়মূল্য = ২০০০ + ২৫০০ টাকা 
= ৪৫০০ টাকা 

∴ মোট লাভ = ৪৫০০ - ১৫০০ টাকা 
= ৩০০০ টাকা

Average mark of all the 25 boys = 46
Total mark of all the 25 boys = (46 × 25)
= 1150

∴ Total marks of all the 15 girls is (1600 - 1150) = 450

So the average mark of 15 girls = 450/15 = 30

Question: An amount is invested in a saving account for two years. It increases by Tk. 630 in two years after annual compounding at the rate of 10% per year. What is the amount, in Tk, invested initially? 

Solution:
Let the principal be x
We know that,
C = P{1 + (r/100)}n

ATQ,
x + 630 = x{1 + (10/100)}2
⇒ x + 630 = x{11/10}2
⇒ x + 630 = 121x/100
⇒ 100x + 63000 = 121x
⇒ 21x = 63000
∴ x = 3000

∴ The amount invested initially is Tk. 3000

Question: If x = 5 + √3 and y = 5 - √3, find the value of (x2 + y2)2

Solution:
We are given:
x = 5 + √3, y = 5 - √3

Now,
x + y
= (5 + √3) + (5 - √3)
= 10

And,
⇒ xy
= (5 + √3)(5 - √3)
= 52 - (√3)2
= 25 - 3
= 22

We know,
x2 + y2 = (x + y)2 - 2xy
⇒ x2 + y2 = (10)2 - 2(22) [Substitute the values]
⇒ x2 + y2 = 100 - 44
⇒ x2 + y2 = 56

∴ (x2 + y2)2 = 562 = 3136

Question: The monthly incomes of two workers are in the ratio 3 : 4 and their monthly expenditures are in the ratio 5 : 7. If each saves TK. 100 per month, find their monthly incomes.

Solution:
Let,
Incomes be 3x and 4x
Expenditures be 5y and 7y

Savings Equations,
3x - 5y = 100 .......(1)
4x - 7y = 100 ........(2)
Now,
(1) × 4 ⇒ 12x - 20y = 400
(2) × 3 ⇒ 12x - 21y = 300

Now subtract ⇒ (12x - 20y) - (12x - 21y) = 400 - 300
⇒ 12x - 20y - 12x + 21y = 100
⇒ y = 100

From (1),
3x - 5(100) = 100
⇒ 3x = 600
∴ x = 200

∴ The monthly incomes are,
First worker = 3x = (3 × 200) = 600
Second worker = 4x = (4 × 200) = 800

If n = (33)43 + (43)33, what is the units digit of n?
  1. ক) 0
  2. খ) 2

ব্যাখ্যা

First of all, the units digit of (33)43 is the same as that of 343 and the units digit of (43)33 is the same as that of 333. So, we need to find the units digit of 343 + 333.

Next, the units digit of 3 in positive integer power repeats in blocks of four {3, 9, 7, 1}:
3= 3 (the units digit is 3)
3= 9 (the units digit is 9)
3= 27 (the units digit is 7)
3= 81 (the units digit is 1)
3= 243 (the units digit is 3 again!)
...

Thus:
The units digit of 343 is the same as the units digit of 33, so 7 (43 divided by the cyclicity of 4 gives the remainder of 3).
The units digit of 333 is the same as the units digit of 31, so 3 (33 divided by the cyclicity of 4 gives the remainder of 1).

Therefore, the units digit of (33)43 + (43)33 is 7 + 3 = 0.

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A sum of money amounts to Tk. 5200 in 5 years and to Tk. 5680 in 7 years at simple interest. The rate of interest per annum is?

Solution:
Simple interest for 2 years = (5680 - 5200) Tk.
= Tk. 480
∴ Simple Interest for 2 years =  Tk. 480
∴ Simple Interest for 5 years =  Tk. (480 × 5/2)

Question: If x and y are positive integers such that 3x + y = 94 and 2x - y = 16, what is the value of x2 - y2?

Solution: 
Given that, 
3x + y = 94
⇒ 3x + y = (32)4
⇒ 3x + y = 38
∴ x + y = 8 ........(1)

And,
2x - y = 16

Question: A shopkeeper buys a mobile phone for Tk. 8,000 and sells it to a retailer at a profit of 15%. The retailer then sells it to a customer at a profit of 10%. How much does the customer pay for the mobile phone?

Solution:
দোকানদারের 15% লাভে বিক্রয়মূল্য = 8000 + 8000 এর 15%
= 8000 + (8000 × 15 / 100)

= Tk. 9200

দোকানদারের বিক্রয়মূল্য = খুচরা বিক্রেতার ক্রয়মূল্য

খুচরা বিক্রেতার 10% লাভে বিক্রয়মূল্য = 9200 + 9200 এর 10%
= 9200 + (9200 × 10 / 100)
= 9200 + 920
= Tk. 10120

সুতরাং, খুচরা বিক্রেতার বিক্রয়মূল্য = ক্রেতার ক্রয়মূল্য = Tk. 10,120

Question: Of the three numbers, the first is twice the second and the second is twice the third. The average of the reciprocal of the numbers is (7/72). The numbers are:

Solution:
Let the number be x.
Then, second number = 2x.
First number = 4x.

∴ (1/x) + (1/2x) + (1/4x) = (7/72) × 3
⇒ (4 + 2 + 1)/4x = (7/24)
⇒ 7/4x = 7/24
⇒ 4x = 24
⇒ x = 24/4
∴ x = 6

Therefore, the numbers are (4 × 6) or 24,  (2 × 6) or 12 and 6.

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A’s current age is three times B’s current age. Eight years ago, A’s age was five times B’s age at that time. Find the difference between their present ages.

Solution:
Let,
B's current age = x 
A's current age = 3x

ATQ,
3x - 8 = 5(x - 8)
⇒3x - 8 = 5x - 40
⇒ 5x - 3x= 40 - 8
⇒ 2x = 32
∴ x = 16

∴ B's current age = 16 years
∴ A's current age = (3 × 16) = 48 years

So the difference between their present ages = (48 - 16) = 32 years

A lamp post 18 meters tall broke in such a way that the broken part makes a 30-degree angle with the ground. At what height did the lamp post break?
  1. 5 meters
  2. 6 meters 
  3. 4 meters 
  4. 8 meters 
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: A lamp post 18 meters tall broke in such a way that the broken part makes a 30-degree angle with the ground. At what height did the lamp post break?

Solution:


Let,
height from ground (A) to broken part (C) = h
rest = 18 - h
The broken part makes a 30-degree angle with the ground at B.
It creates a triangle ABC where,
BC = 18 - h
AC = h

Now,
sin 30° = AC/BC
⇒ 1/2 = h/(18 - h)
⇒ 2h = 18 - h
⇒ 3h = 18
∴ h = 6

∴ the lamp post broke at 6 m height from the ground.

Question: A contract is to be completed in 46 days and 117 men were set to work, each working 8 hours a day. After 33 days (4/7) th of work is completed. How many additional men may be employed so that the work may be completed in time, each man now working 9 hours a day?

Solution:
Remaining Work = (1 - 4/7) = 3/7
Remaining Time = (46 - 33) = 13 days

33 days working 8 hrs a day =  33 × 8 hrs = 264 hrs
13 days working 9 hrs a day = 13 × 9 hrs = 117 hrs

In 264 hrs to complete (4/7) the of work it requires 117 men
∴ In 117 hrs to complete (3/7) the of work it requires =

= 198 men

∴ Additional men required = 198 - 117 = 81 person.
