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
Question: A ladder is leaning against a wall. It makes a 60° angle with the wall. If the distance between foot of ladder and wall is 5.5 meters, find the length of the ladder.
Solution:
Let BC be the wall and AC be the ladder.
∠BAC = 60° and AB = 5.5 meter
In ΔABC,
cos60° = AB/AC
⇒ 1/2 = 5.5/AC
⇒ AC = 5.5 × 2
∴ AC = 11
Investment = Tk. 333000
Since face value is not given, we can take it as Tk. 100
and dividend per share = Tk.11/2
Market Value = 110 + 1 = 111
Number of shares purchased = 333000/111 = 3000
Total income = 3000 × 11/2 = Tk.16500
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
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
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.

Dividend on 1 share
= ( 10/ 100 ×50)
= Tk. 5
Tk. 12.50 is an income on an investment of tk. 100
Tk. 5 is an income on an investment of :
= Tk. (100× 2/25 ×5)
= Tk. 40.
∴ Cost of 1 share = Tk. 40
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%.
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.
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.
Let the number be x
Then,⇔3/5 x2 = 126.15
⇔x2=(126.15× 5/3)
⇔x2=210.25
⇔x= √ 210.25
⇔x=14.5
Question: A cube has a total surface area of 294 square meters. What is the length of its diagonal?
Solution:
আমরা জানি, একটি ঘনকের মোট পৃষ্ঠের ক্ষেত্রফল = 6a2
প্রশ্নমতে, 6a2 = 294
⇒ a2 = 294/6
⇒ a2 = 49
⇒ a = √49
⇒ a = 7 মিটার।
আমরা জানি,
একটি ঘনকের কর্ণের দৈর্ঘ্য = a√3
এখানে, a = 7
সুতরাং, কর্ণের দৈর্ঘ্য = 7√3 মিটার।
সুতরাং, ঘনকটির কর্ণের দৈর্ঘ্য হলো 7√3 মিটার।
Question: If Px = Qy = Rz and Q/P = R/Q then [2z/(x + z)]3 = ?
(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

C. .04 = 4/100 = 40/100 × 100% = 40%
D. 0.04 = 4/100 = 1/25 = 4%
সুতরাং, অপশন গ) 40% সঠিক উত্তর।
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
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.
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
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: If tanθ = 3/4, then cosθ = ?
Solution:
এখানে,
tanθ = 3/4 = লম্ব/ভূমি
∴ লম্ব = 3, ভূমি = 4
∴ অতিভুজ = √(32+ 42)
= √25 = 5
∴ cosθ = ভূমি/অতিভুজ
= 4/5
Question: If the sum of two numbers is 26 and their H. C. F and L. C. M are 1 and 120 respectively, the sum of the reciprocals of the two numbers is-
Solution:
Let the two numbers are x and y then
x + y = 26
and
xy = H. C. F × L. C. M = 1 × 120 = 120
Sum of their reciprocals = (1/x) + (1/y)
= (x + y)/xy
= 26/120
= 13/60
Question: A sum of money amounts to Tk. 15000 in 4 years at 25% simple interest per annum. Find the sum.
Solution:
Given,
A = 15000
T = 4
R = 25%
We know,
SI = P × R × T
= P × (25/100) × 4
= P
A = P + SI
⇒ A = P + P
⇒ A = 2P
⇒ 15000 = 2P
⇒ P = 15000/2
∴ P = 7500
Question: A petrol tank is half full. If 10 gallons of petrol are removed, the tank becomes one-tenth full. What is the total capacity of the tank in gallons?
Solution:
Let,
The capacity of the tank in gallons is x gallons.
According to question,
⇒ (x/2) - 10 = x/10
⇒ (x - 20)/2 = x/10
⇒ 10(x - 20) = 2x
⇒ 10x - 200 = 2x
⇒ 10x - 2x = 200
⇒ 8x = 200
∴ x = 200/8 = 25 gallons
Question: Robin is 28th from left end of a row of 50 students and Siam is 27th from right end of the row. How many students are sitting between them?
Solution:
Siam's position from left = 50 - 27 + 1 = 24
So,
Robin's position from left = 28
Siam's position from left = 24
∴ Number of students are sitting between them = (28 - 24) - 1
= 4 - 1
= 3
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
External dimensions,
l = 50 cm,
b = 40 cm,
h = 23 cm
Internal dimension,
l' = 50 - (2 × 3) = 44 cm
b' = 40 - (2 × 3) = 34 cm
h' = 23 - 3 = 20 cm
The volume of the metal used in the box = External Volume - Internal Volume
= [( 50 × 40 × 23) - (44 × 34 × 20)] cm3
= 16080 cm3.
∴ Weight of the metal =
(16080 × 0.5)/1000 kg
= 8.04 kg
Question: The mean of x, x + 4, x + 8, x + 12 is 20. Find x.
Solution:
Given,
Total numbers = 4
Mean = 20
Sum of numbers:
x+ (x + 4) + (x + 8) + (x + 12)
= 4x + 24
ATQ,
(4x + 24)/4 = 20
⇒ 4x + 24 = 80
⇒ 4x = 56
∴ x = 14
Question: Find the least number that leaves a remainder of 5 when divided by 6, 9, 15, and 20.
Solution:
We have to find the least number,
therefore, we find out the LCM of 6, 9, 15, and 20.
6 = 3 × 2
9 = 3 × 3
15 = 3 × 5
20 = 2 × 2 × 5
∴ LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
= 180
This is the least number which is exactly divisible by 6, 9, 15, and 20.
So, required number leaves remainder of 5 is = 180 + 5 = 185
∴ P = I/nr = 1600/(4/100 x 4) = 10000
So, I = P(1 + r)n - P
= 10000(1 + 10/100)4 - 10000
= 14641 - 10000
= 4641
Question: In an exam, there are 3 multiple choice questions, and each question has 4 choices. Only one answer per question is correct. How many ways can a student fail to get all answers correct?
Solution:
Each question has 4 options, so the total number of ways to answer all 3 questions is = 43
= 4 × 4 × 4
= 64
Number of ways, getting correct answers = 13 = 1
∴ Number of ways of not getting all answers correct = 64 - 1 = 63
Question: Eight points are situated on a plane, 4 of them in a straight line, the other 4 elsewhere. How many triangles can be formed by joining 3 points at a time?
Solution:
Total combinations of 3 points from 8 = 8C3
= 56 ways
Given,
there are 4 collinear points
From the 4 collinear points, no triangle can be formed using any 3 of them (since they lie on the same line).
Total combinations of 3 points from the 4 collinear points = 4C3 = 4 ways
So the valid triangles = 56 − 4 = 52 ways
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}:
31 = 3 (the units digit is 3)
32 = 9 (the units digit is 9)
33 = 27 (the units digit is 7)
34 = 81 (the units digit is 1)
35 = 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.

দ্রব্যটির ক্রয়মূল্য 100 টাকা
25% লাভে দ্রব্যটির বিক্রয়মূল্য = 100 + 25 = 125 টাকা
অর্থাৎ দ্রব্যটি দামের 80% হলো = 125 টাকা
∴ দ্রব্যটি দামের 100% হলো = (125 × 100)/80
= 156.25 টাকা
∴ শতকরা লাভ হতো = 156.25 - 100 = 56.25%
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
⇒ 2x - y = 24
∴ x - y = 4 ....... (2)
Now (1) + (2) than we get,
⇒ (x + y) + (x - y) = 8 + 4
⇒ 2x = 12
⇒ x = 12/2
∴ x = 6
From (1),
6 + y = 8
⇒ y = 8 - 6
∴ y = 2
∴ x2 - y2 = (6)2 - (2)2
= 36 - 4
= 32
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)
= 8000 + 1200
= 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: A person pays Tk. 8000 as an amount on the sum of Tk. 6000 that he had borrowed for 3 years. What will be the rate of interest?
Solution:
Amount, A = Tk. 8000
Principal, P= Tk. 6000
Time, T = 3 years
Interest Rate, R =?
Amount = Principal + Simple Interest
SI = A – P
= 8000 – 6000
= Tk. 2000
SI = (P × R ×T)/100
⇒ R = (SI × 100)/(P × T)
= (2000 × 100)/(6000 × 3)
= 11.11 %
∴ The rate of interest is 11.11 %.
Question: A boatman goes 4 km against the current of the stream in 1 hour and goes 1 km along the current in 10 minutes. How long will it take to go 7 km in stationary water?
Solution:
Speed along current = 60/10 km/h
= 6 km/h
Speed against current = 4 km/h
∴ Speed in still water = (Speed against current + Speed along current)/2
= (4 + 6)/2
= 10/2
= 5
∴ Required time = 7/5 h
= [(7/5) × 60] min
= 84 min
= 60 min + 24 min
= 1 h 24 min
Let the initial number of students = x

∴ x = 32
The initial number of students were 32
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.
Question: Working 5 hours a day, Samiya can complete a work in 8 days and working 6 hours a day, Fahima can complete the same work in 10 days. Working 6 hours a day, they can jointly complete the work in:
Solution:
Working 5 hours a day, Samiya can complete a work in 8 days = 8 × 5 = 40 hours
Working 6 hours a day, Fahima can complete a work in 10 days = 6 × 10 = 60 hours
(Samiya and Fahima)'s 1 hour's work = (1/40) + (1/60)
= (3 + 2)/120
= 5/120
= 1/24
They can jointly complete the work in 24 hours
Working 6 hours a day, they can jointly complete the work in = 24/6 = 4 days
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: The average age of a family of 5 members is 20 years. If the age of the youngest member be 10 years then what was the average age of the family at the time of the birth of the youngest member?
Solution:
At present the total age of the family = 5 × 20 =100
The total age of the family at the time of the birth of the youngest member,
= 100 - 10 - (10 × 4)
= 50
Therefore, average age of the family at the time of birth of the youngest member,
= 50/5
= 10

এখানে, a = - 6 এবং b = 3
মানগুলো সমীকরণে বসিয়ে পাই,
x/(- 6) + y/3 = 1
⇒ (- x + 2y)/6 = 1
⇒ - x + 2y = 6
⇒ x - 2y + 6 = 0
Winner gets 65% 0f valid votes and loser gets 35% of votes.
Difference between this two = 2748
(65-35)% = 2748
30% = 2748
Total number of voters, 100%
= (2748×100)/30
= 9160
