A train 216 m long moving at a speed of 50 km/hr crosses a train 224 m long coming from opposite direction in 12 seconds. The speed of the second train is-
  1. 48 km/hr
  2. 54 km/hr
  3. 82 km/hr
  4. 66 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A train 216 m long moving at a speed of 50 km/hr crosses a train 224 m long coming from opposite direction in 12 seconds. The speed of the second train is-

Solution:
Distance covered = (216 + 224) meter
= 440 meter.

Time = 12 seconds.

Relative speed = 440/12 = 110/3 m/s.
= (110 × 3600)/(3 × 1000) km/hr
= 132 km/hr.

Now,
50 + Speed of second train = 132 km/hr.
∴ Speed of second train = (132 - 50) km/hr.
= 82 km/hr.

The difference in Taka between simple and compound interest at 4% annually on a sum of Tk. 8,000 after 2 years is:
  1. Tk. 22
  2. Tk. 12.8
  3. Tk. 15
  4. Tk. 16.5
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: The difference in Taka between simple and compound interest at 4% annually on a sum of Tk. 8,000 after 2 years is:

Solution:
Given that, Principal, P = Tk. 8,000
Rate, r = 4%
Time, n = 2 years

We know that,
Simple Interest = Prn/100
= (8000 × 4 × 2)/100
= 640

And Compound Interest = P(1 + r/100)n - P
= 8000{1 + (4/100)}2 - 8000 
= 8000(104/100)2 - 8000
= {8000 × (104/100) × (104/100)} - 8000 
= 8652.8 - 8000
= 652.8

∴ Difference = 652.8 - 640 = 12.8

The difference between compound and simple interest is Tk. 12.8

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: The area of a square and rectangle are equal. The length of the rectangle is greater than the length of any side of the square by 5 cm and the breadth is less 3 cm. Find the perimeter of the rectangle.

Solution:
Let, the length of each side of the square be x cm.
Then, the length of rectangle = (x + 5) cm
and its breadth = (x - 3) cm

ATQ,
(x + 5)(x - 3) = x2
⇒ x2 + 5x - 3x - 15 = x2
⇒ 2x = 15
∴ x = 15/2

Length = (15/2) + 5 = 25/2 cm
Breadth = (15/2) - 3 = 9/2 cm

∴ Perimeter = 2(length + breadth) = 2 {(25/2) + (9/2)}
= 2 (34/2) = 34 cm

  3. ৯ দিন
  4. ১২ দিন
  5. ১৫ দিন
ব্যাখ্যা
প্রশ্ন: সুমন একটি কাজ ১৫ দিনে করতে পারে এবং রাজু একই কাজ ২৫ দিনে করতে পারে। সুমন ও রাজু একত্রে ৬ দিন কাজ করার পর সুমন চলে গেল। বাকি কাজ রাজু একা কত দিনে সম্পন্ন করতে পারবে?

সমাধান:
সুমন ১ দিনে করে = ১/১৫ অংশ কাজ
রাজু ১ দিনে করে = ১/২৫ অংশ কাজ

সুমন ও রাজু একত্রে,
১ দিনে করে = (১/১৫) + (১/২৫) অংশ কাজ
= (৫ + ৩)/৭৫ অংশ কাজ
= ৮/৭৫ অংশ কাজ
∴ ৬ দিনে করে = (৬ × ৮)/৭৫ অংশ কাজ
= ৪৮/৭৫ অংশ কাজ

∴ বাকী কাজ = ১ - (৪৮/৭৫) অংশ কাজ
= ২৭/৭৫ অংশ কাজ

রাজু ১ অংশ কাজ করে = ২৫ দিনে
রাজু ২৭/৭৫ অংশ কাজ করে = (২৫ × ২৭)/৭৫ দিনে
= ৯ দিনে

∴ বাকি কাজ রাজু একা সম্পন্ন করতে পারবে = ৯ দিনে।

  2. 9 km/hr
  3. 5 km/hr
  4. 10 km/hr
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: A swimmer covers 3 km against the current in 30 minutes and the same distance with the current in 15 minutes. What is the speed of the swimmer in still water?

Solution:
Given that,
Distance covered = 3 km
Time consumed = 30 minutes = 1/2 hour.
∴ speed of the swimmer against current (upstream) = 3/(1/2) = 6 km/hr

Again,
With the current,
Distance covered = 3 km
Time consumed = 15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hr
∴ speed of the swimmer with current (downstream) = 3/(1/4) = 12 km/hr

let,
swimmer's speed in still water = x km/hr
speed of current = y km/hr

According to question,

750B = (w - 750/A
B = [(w - 750)/750]A
Plug into Eq. [1]
(w + 250)[(w - 750)/750]A = (2w - 250) A
(w + 250)(w - 750)/750 =750(2w -250)

Question: The length of a rope, to which a cow is tied assume that the cow is able to move on all sides with equal ease, is increased from 21 m to 28 m. How much additional ground will it be able to graze? 

Solution:
We know,
Area of a circle = π × (radius)2

Given,
The cow can graze the area covered by the circle of radius 21 m initially, because the length of the rope is 21 m.
Therefore, the initial area that the cow can graze = (22/7) × 212 sq m.
= 1386 sq m.

When the length of the rope is increased to 28 m, grazing area becomes = (22/7) × 282 sq m.
= 2464 sq m.

The additional area it could graze when length is increased from 21 m to 28 m = (2464 - 1386) sq m.
= 1078 sq m.

Question: The average of a natural number and Its cube Is 13 times the number. The cube of the number is:
(Janata RC 2022 অনুযায়ী) 

Solution:
let the natural number be = x

According to the Question,
(x + x3)/2 = 13x
⇒ x + x3 = 26x
⇒ x3 = 26x - x
⇒ x3 = 25x
⇒ x3/x = 25
⇒ x2 = 25
⇒ x = ± 5

But since x is a natural number, the value of x must be positive.

Therefore, x = 5.
Hence, x3 = 53 = 125

  4. 4/6
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: If x and y are positive integers satisfying x + y = 7, what is the probability that x < y?

Solution: 
Since both x and y must be positive integers,
total possible ways = (1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 2), (6, 1) = 6 pairs.
Next, we identify the pairs where x < y,
(1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4) ; There are 3 pairs satisfying x < y.

∴ Probability = Number of pairs where x < y/Total number of pairs = 3/6 = 1/2

So the probability that x < y is 1/2

Solution:
Given,
a + b + c = 9,
a2 + b2 + c2 = 29

We know,
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
⇒ 2(ab + bc + ca) = (a + b + c)2 - (a2 + b2 + c2)
⇒ 2(ab + bc + ca) = (9)2 - 29
⇒ 2(ab + bc + ca) = 81 - 29
⇒ 2(ab + bc + ca) = 52
∴ (ab + bc + ca) = 26

Question: If the length of each side of an equilateral triangle is decreased by 1 units, the area is found to be decreased by 2√3 square unit. The length of each side of the triangle is-

Solution:
Let,
Original side length = x
New side length = x - 1 
Decrease in area = 2√3

Now,
⇒ (√3/4)x2 - (√3/4)(x - 1)2 = 2√3
⇒ x2 - (x - 1)2 = 8
⇒ x2 - (x2 - 2x + 1) = 8
⇒ x2 - x2 + 2x - 1 = 8
⇒ 2x - 1 = 8
⇒ 2x = 9
⇒ x = 9/2
∴ x = 4.5 units

So the original length of each side of the equilateral triangle is 4.5 units.

Question: A car reaches from City A to City B in 9 hours travelling at a speed of 40 km/hr. If its speed is increased by 20 km/hr, then the time of journey is reduced by-

Solution: 
Original speed = 40 km/hr
Time taken = 9 hours

∴ Distance between City A and City B = speed × time
= 40 × 9 = 360 km

∴ New speed = 40 + 20 = 60 km/hr

∴ New time taken = distance/new speed
= 360/60
= 6 hours

∴ Reduction in time = original time - new time
= 9 - 6
= 3 hours

So the time of journey is reduced by 3 hours.

  1. 32%
  2. 44%
  3. 40%
  4. 36%
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: The radius of a circular plate is 20 cm. If the radius is decreased by 20%, what is the percentage decrease in its area?

Solution:
Given that, 
Original radius = 20 cm
And decreased by 20%
 ∴ Decrease = 20% of 20 = 4 cm
∴ New radius = 20 - 4 = 16 cm

We know,
Area of circle = πr2
∴ Original area = π × (20)2 = 400π cm2
∴ New area = π × (16)2 = 256π cm2

∴ Decrease in area = original area - new area = 400π - 256π = 144π cm2

∴ Percentage decrease in area,
= (decrease/original area) × 100%
= (144π/400π) × 100%
= (144/400) × 100%
= 0.36 × 100%
= 36%

So the area decreases by 36%.

Given that a single dice is rolled.
Sample space = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Let P(A) be the probability of getting an odd number, where A = {1, 3, 5}
Let P(B) be the probability of getting a number less than 4, where B = {1,2,3}
A ⋂ B ={1, 3}
So, P(A) = 3/6 = 1/2
P(B) = 3/6 = 1/2
P(A ⋂ B) = 2/6 = 1/3

Let P be the required probability of getting an odd number or a number less than 4
P = P(A ⋃ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ⋂ B)
Or, P(A ⋃ B) = 1/2 + 1/2 - 1/3
Or, P(A ⋃ B) = 1 - 1/3
Or, P(A ⋃ B) = 2/3

Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number or a number less than 4 is 2/3.

Pipe A is 4 times as fast as B in filling a tank. If A takes 20 minutes to fill a tank, then what is the time taken by both the pipe A and B to fill the tank?
  1. ক) 8
  2. খ) 12
  3. গ) 16
  4. ঘ) 20
ব্যাখ্যা
A takes 20 minutes and it is 4 times faster than B,
it means B will take 80 minutes to fill the tank.
(1/20 + 1/80) × t = 1.
So, We get t = 16.

Question: Abu and Salim started a partnership business investing some amount of money in the ratio of 4 : 6. Shakeel joined them after six months with an amount equal to that of Salim. In what proportion should the profit at the end of one year be distributed among Abu, Salim and Shakeel?

Solution:
As (4 : 6 is equivalent to 2 : 3)
So let the initial investment of money ratio of Abu and Salim is 2x and 3x.
So Abu , Salim and Shakeel ratio of investment will be ( Abu : Salim : Shakeel ) = (2x × 12) : (3x × 12) : (3x × 6) = 24 : 36 : 18 = 4 : 6 : 3

Question: The sum of the three consecutive even numbers is 44 more than the average of these numbers. Which of the following is the smallest of these numbers?

Solution:
Let the number be x, x + 2, and x + 4

ATQ,
(x + x + 2 + x + 4) - (x + x + 2 + x + 4)/3 = 44
⇒ (3x + 6) - (3x + 6)/3 = 44
⇒ 9x + 18 - 3x - 6 = 132
⇒ 6x = 120
⇒ x = 20

Question: A ladder is leaning against a wall. It makes a 60° angle with the ground. If the distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall is 8 meters, what is the length of the ladder?

Solution:

ধরি, দেয়ালটি হলো AB এবং মইটি হলো AC
মইটি ভূমির সাথে ∠ACB = 60° কোণ তৈরি করে।
মইয়ের গোড়া থেকে দেয়ালের দূরত্ব, BC = 8 মিটার।
মইয়ের দৈর্ঘ্য হলো AC

এখন, ΔABC -এ
cos 60° = BC/AC
⇒ 1/2 = 8/AC
⇒ AC = 8 × 2
⇒ AC = 16
∴ মইয়ের দৈর্ঘ্য 16 মিটার।
