A bike originally cost Tk. 1000 and was discounted 10%. After three months it was sold after being discounted another 15%. How much was the bike sold for?
  1. Tk. 820
  2. Tk. 805
  3. Tk. 790
  4. Tk. 765
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A bike originally cost Tk. 1000 and was discounted 10%. After three months it was sold after being discounted another 15%. How much was the bike sold for?

Solution:
Given
Original price = Tk. 1000
10% discounted price = 1000 - (10% of 1000)
= 1000 - (10/100 of 1000)
= Tk. 900

The bike was sold after another 15% discount.
∴ 15% of Tk. 900 = Tk. (15/100 of 900)
= Tk. 135

∴ Selling price= Tk. (900 - 135)
= Tk. 765

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: There are 8 points in a plane, out of which 4 are collinear and the remaining 4 are non-collinear. How many distinct triangles can be formed by joining any 3 of these points?

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

A vessel goes 6 km in an hour in still water. It requires thrice as much investment in covering the same separation against the current. Velocity of the current is:
  1. ক) 2 km/hr
  2. খ) 3 km/hr
  3. গ) 4 km/hr
  4. ঘ) 5 km/hr.
ব্যাখ্যা

Speed in still water =6 km/hr.
Speed against the current =6/3 km/hr = 2 km/hr
Let the speed of the current be x km/hr
so, 6-x = 2
=> x = 4 km/hr.

How many distinct arrangements can be made using all the letters of the word "MAMMAL" such that no two M's appear together?
  1. 6
  2. 8
  3. 10
  4. 12
  5. None of the above
ব্যাখ্যা

Question: How many distinct arrangements can be made using all the letters of the word "MAMMAL" such that no two M's appear together?

Solution:
MAMMAL has 6 letters, where M = 3 times, A = 2 times and L = 1 time.
First arrange the letters other than M.
Number of arrangements of A, A, L = 3!/2! = 3

Now place the three M's in the gaps of these letters.
For example: _ A _ A _ L _
Total gaps = 4

Number of ways to choose 3 gaps for M = 4C3 = 4

∴ Required number of arrangements = 3 × 4
= 12

A dishonest shopkeeper pretends to sell his goods at cost price but uses false weights and gains 11.11%. Find the false weight he is using instead of 1kg weight.
  1. 900 gm
  2. 950 gm
  3. 850 gm
  4. 800 gm
ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A dishonest shopkeeper pretends to sell his goods at cost price but uses false weights and gains 11.11%. Find the false weight he is using instead of 1kg weight.
 
Solution:
Let the false weight be x gm.
Gain % = [(True weight - False weight)/ False weight] × 100
⇒ 11.11 = 100/9 = [(1000 - x)/x] × 100
⇒ 9000 - 9x = x
⇒ 10x = 9000
⇒ x = 900

∴ the shopkeeper is using weights of 900 gm instead of 1kg.

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: Two pipes can fill a tank together in 8 minutes. Both pipes are opened, and after 6 minutes the first pipe is closed. It then takes 6 more minutes for the tank to be completely filled. How long would it take to fill the tank using only the second pipe?

Solution:
Together, the two pipes fill the tank in 8 minutes = 1 full tank.
∴ In 1 minute, they fill = 1/8 of the tank.
∴ In 6 minutes, they fill = (1 × 6)/8 = 3/4 of the tank.

∴ Remaining part of the tank = 1 - (3/4) = 1/4.

The second pipe alone fills this 1/4 of the tank in 6 minutes.
∴ Time for the second pipe to fill the whole tank = 6 × 4 = 24 minutes.

So the second pipe alone would take 24 minutes to fill the tank.

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A father is 25 years older than his son. In 5 years, his age will be three times his son's age. What is the present age of the son?

Solution:
Let the son’s present age be x years.
Then, the father’s present age is = x + 25 years.

ATQ
In 5 years, the father’s age will be three times his son's age.
So, (x + 25) + 5 = 3 (x + 5)
⇒ 3x + 15 = x + 30
⇒ 3x - x = 30 - 15
⇒ 2x = 15
∴ x = 7.5

Therefore, the present age of the son is 7.5 years.

Question: Today, Jakir is twice as old as Moin. In 5 years, Jakir will be 1.5 times as old as Moin. How old is Jakir today?

Solution:
Let Jakir’s age = J, Moin’s age = M.
Given:
⇒ J=2M --------------------(Equation 1)
In 5 years:
⇒ J+5=1.5(M+5)J+5=1.5(M+5) ---(Equation 2)

Substitute J=2M (equation 1) in equation (2),
⇒ 2M+5=1.5M+7.5  ⟹  0.5M=2.5  
⟹  M=5
Then, J=2×5=10

  1. 180°
  2. 150°
  3. 210°

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: An accurate clock shows 2:00 PM. Through how many degrees will the hour hand rotate by the time the clock shows 8:00 PM?

Solution:
We know,
A clock is a full circle = 360°
There are 12 hours on the clock face
So the hour hand moves = 360° ÷ 12 = 30° per hour

From 2 : 00 PM to 8 : 00 PM is exactly 6 hours later.
Therefore, the hour hand rotates,
6 hours × 30° per hour = 180°

So the hour hand will rotate through 180°.

Two trains moving in same direction run at a speed of 60 km/hr and 40 km/hr respectively. If a man sitting in slow train is passed by the fast train in 10 seconds, then what is the length of the faster train?
  1. ক) 53.7 m
  2. খ) 53.2 m
  3. গ) 55.6 m
  4. ঘ) 57.2 m
ব্যাখ্যা
Given: Speed of slow train = 60 km/hr, speed of fast train = 40 km/hr
Here both the trains move in same direction. Hence their relative speed is obtained by subtracting the individual speeds of trains.
Relative speed = 60–40 = 20 km/hr
1) Convert km/hr into m/s
20x(5/18)=100/18= 5.56 m/s
2) Distance (Length of faster train) = Speed x Time
Length of faster train = 5.56 x 10 m = 55.6 m

Question: A wholesaler bought 1200 radios for Tk. 18 each. The wholesaler sold 60 percent of the radios for Tk. 30 each and the rest for Tk. 15 each. What is the wholesaler's average (arithmetic mean) profit per radio?

Solution:
৬০% রেডিও বিক্রি করে ৩০ টাকায় এবং ৪০% বিক্রি হয় ১৫ টাকায়

মোট বিক্রয়মূল্য = {১২০০ × (৬০/১০০) × ৩০} +  {১২০০ × (৪০/১০০) × ১৫}
= ২১৬০০ + ৭২০০ টাকা 
= ২৮৮০০ টাকা 

গড় বিক্রয়মূল্য = ২৮৮০০/১২০০ টাকা 
= ২৪ টাকা 

গড় ক্রয়মূল্য ১৮ টাকা 

গড় লাভ = (২৪ - ১৮) টাকা 
= ৬ টাকা

Question: The product of two positive numbers is 11520 and their quotient is 9/5. Find the difference of two numbers.

Solution:
Let, the numbers be x and y
∴ xy = 11520
and x/y = 9/5

ATQ,
xy × (x/y) = 11520 × (9/5)
⇒ x2 = 2304 × 9
⇒ x = √(2304 × 9)
⇒ x = 48 × 3 = 144

From x/y = 9/5 we have,
y = (5 × 144)/9
∴ y = 80

∴ Required difference = (144 - 80) = 64

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: In a triangle the lengths of two sides are 5 and 9 and the length of the third side is represented by x. Which statement is always true?

Solution:
In a triangle,
The sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than the length of the third side,
- And the difference between the lengths of any two sides must be less than the length of the third side.
This is known as the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

Given that two sides of the triangle have lengths of 5 and 9, and the third side is represented by x, the theorem gives us the following inequalities:
x + 5 > 9, which simplifies to x > 4
x + 9 > 5, which is always true since x > - 4
5 + 9 > x, which simplifies to x < 14

Thus, the third side x must satisfy the condition 4 < x < 14.

Question: A man bought some sugar and salt for Tk. 440. The ratio of the weights of sugar and salt is 5 : 2, and the price per unit weight of sugar and salt is in the ratio 6 : 7. What is the price of the total sugar?

Solution:
Given,
Weight ratio (Sugar : Salt) = 5 : 2
Price ratio per unit weight (Sugar : Salt) = 6 : 7

Total price ratio of sugar and salt = (Weight × Price per unit)
= 5 × 6 : 2 × 7

Total units = 15 + 7 = 22 units

Accordint to the question,
22 units = Tk. 440
⇒ 1 unit = 440/22
∴ 1 unit= Tk. 20

∴ Price of total sugar = 15 × 20 = Tk. 300

Question: 400 students took a mock test: 60% of the boys and 80% of the girls cleared the cut off in the test. If the total percentage of students clearing the cut off in the test is 65%, then how many girls appeared in the test?

Solution:
400 students took a mock test:
60% of the boys and 80% of the girls cleared the cut off in the test.
the total percentage of students clearing the cut off in the test is 65%

Let's assume there were b boys and g girls in the test.

According To question:
the total number of students who cleared the cut off = (60/100)b + (80/100)g = 0.65 × 400 .........(1)
the total number of students who took the test = b + g = 400
⇒ b = 400 - g

Substituting this value of b in the first equation: (60/100)(400 - g) + (80/100)g = 0.65 × 400
⇒ (24000 - 60g)/100 + 80g/100 = 260
⇒ 24000 - 60g + 80g = 26000
⇒ 20g = 2000
∴ g = 100
So, 100 girls appeared in the test.

Question: A merchant has 100 kg of sugar, part of which he sells at 8% profit and the rest at 18% profit. He gains 14% on the whole. The quantity sold at 18% profit is-

Solution:
By the rule of alligation, we have:

⇒ Quantity of cheaper : Quantity of Dearer = (CP of of Dearer - Mean Price) : (Mean Price - CP of Cheaper)
⇒ Quantity of cheaper : Quantity of Dearer = (18-14) : (14-8)
= 4 : 6
= 2 : 3

∴ Quantity of 2nd kind = (3/5 × 100) kg
= 60 kg

Question: 4 men and 6 women can complete a work in 8 days, while 3 men and 7 women can complete it in 10 days. In how many days will 10 women complete it?

Solution:
Let,
1 man's 1 day's work = x and 1 woman's 1 day's work = y.
Then,
4x + 6y = 1/8 and 3x + 7y = 1/10
Solving the two equations, we get: x = 11/400 , y = 1/400

∴ 1 woman's 1 day's work = 1/400
10 women's 1 day's work = (1/400) × 10 = 1/40
Hence, 10 women will complete the work in 40 days.

Question: An amount of Tk. 10000 becomes Tk. 14641 in 2 years if the interest is compounded half-yearly. What is the rate of compound interest per annum?

Solution: 
Let 
the rate be r% per annum

Now
10000 × {1 + r/(2 × 100)}2 × 2 = 14641
⇒ {1 + r/(2 × 100)}4 = 14641/10000
⇒ (1 + r/200)4  = (11/10)4
⇒ 1 + r/200 = 11/10
⇒ r/200 = (11/10) - 1
⇒ r/200 = (11 - 10)/10
⇒ r/200 = 1/10
⇒ r = 200/10
∴ r = 20 

The rate be 20% per annum.

ব্যাখ্যা
Question: A person's present age is two-fifth of the age of his mother. After 8 years, he will be one half of the age of his mother. What is the present age of the mother?

Solution: 
Let the age of the person’s mother be ‘x years
Age of the person = (2x/5)

After 8 years, age of the person’s mother = ‘x + 8’ years
Age of the person after 8 years = (2x/5) + 8 years

According to question:
(2x/5) + 8 = (1/2)(x + 8)
⇒ (2x/5) + 8 = (x/2) + 4
⇒ (x/2) -  (2x/5) = 8 - 4
⇒ (5x - 4x)/10 = 4
⇒ x/10 = 4
∴ x = 40

So, the present age of his mother is 40 years

Question: 10 pens costs Tk. 100 each. If half of the pens are sold at 10% loss then find at what price remaining each pen should be sold for making no loss and no profit.

Solution:
The total cost price of 10 pens = 10 × 100 = Tk. 1000

Selling price of 1 pen = 100 - (100 × 10%) = Tk. 90
Hence, the selling price of 5 pens = Tk. 450

Now, the selling price of the remaining 5 pens = 1000 - 450 = Tk. 550

Hence, the selling price of 1 pen = Tk. 110

Question: A takes three times as much time as B or twice as much time as C to finish a piece of work. Working together, they can finish the work in 3 days. B can do the work alone in how many days?

Solution:
ধরা যাক,
A, B ও C যথাক্রমে কাজটি শেষ করতে সময় লাগে x, x/3, এবং x/2 দিন।

তারা একসাথে ৩ দিনে কাজ শেষ করে।
অর্থাৎ তাদের একদিনের কাজ হলো 1/3।

∴ A + B + C এর একদিনের কাজ = (1/x) + (3/x) + (2/x)
= (1 + 3 + 2)/x
= 6/x

এখন,
6/x = 1/3
∴ x = 18

∴ B একা কাজ শেষ করতে সময় নেবে = 18/3 = 6 দিন।

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: A person sells an item for Tk. 7,600 and incurs a 5% loss. At what price should the item be sold to gain a 15% profit?

Solution:
5% ক্ষতিতে বিক্রয়মূল্য = 100 - 5 = 95 টাকা।

বিক্রয়মূল্য 95 টাকা হলে ক্রয়মূল্য 100 টাকা।
∴ বিক্রয়মূল্য 1 টাকা হলে ক্রয়মূল্য 100/95 টাকা।
∴ বিক্রয়মূল্য 7,600 টাকা হলে ক্রয়মূল্য (100/95) × 7,600 টাকা
​= 8,000 টাকা।

আবার, 15% লাভে বিক্রয়মূল্য = 100 + 15 = 115 টাকা।

ক্রয়মূল্য 100 টাকা হলে বিক্রয়মূল্য 115 টাকা।
∴ ক্রয়মূল্য 1 টাকা হলে বিক্রয়মূল্য 115/100 টাকা।
∴ ক্রয়মূল্য 8,000 টাকা হলে বিক্রয়মূল্য (115/100) × 8,000 টাকা
​= 9,200 টাকা।

∴ জিনিসটি 9,200 টাকায় বিক্রি করতে হবে।

Question: Before anybody could notice, Rifat took one-fourth of the chocolates from a box. Later, his four cousins arrived, and the remaining chocolates were distributed equally among the five of them. Rifat received a total of 40 chocolates. How many did each of his cousins receive?

Solution:
ধরি, মোট চকলেট ছিল x টি।
রিফাত প্রথমবার নিয়েছিল = x এর 1/4 অংশ = x/4 টি
বাকী চকলেট = x - x/4 = (4x - x)/4 = 3x/4 টি
এই বাকী চকলেট রিফাত এবং তার চারজন কাজিনের মধ্যে, অর্থাৎ মোট পাঁচজনের মধ্যে সমানভাবে ভাগ করা হয়েছিল।
∴ প্রত্যেকে পেয়েছে = (3x/4) × (1/5) = 3x/20 টি

প্রশ্ন অনুযায়ী, রিফাত মোট 40 টি চকলেট পেয়েছে।
∴ রিফাতের মোট চকলেট = (প্রথমবারের অংশ) + (সমানভাবে ভাগের অংশ)
⇒ (x/4) + (3x/20) = 40
⇒ (5x + 3x)/20 = 40
⇒ 8x/20 = 40
⇒ 2x/5 = 40
⇒ x = 40 × (5/2)
⇒ x = 100

সুতরাং, বাক্সে মোট চকলেট ছিল 100 টি।
প্রত্যেক কাজিন পেয়েছে = 3x/20 = (3 × 100)/20 = 300/20 = 15 টি
অতএব, তার প্রত্যেক কাজিন 15টি করে চকলেট পেয়েছিল।

Question: The average speed of a bus is half the speed of a train. The train covers 1000 km in 20 hours. How much distance will the bus cover in 48 minutes?

Solution:
ট্রেনের গতিবেগ = অতিক্রান্ত দূরত্ব/সময়
= 1000 কিমি/20 ঘন্টা
= 50 কিমি/ঘন্টা

এখন, বাসের গতিবেগ ট্রেনের গতিবেগের অর্ধেক।
∴ বাসের গতিবেগ = ট্রেনের গতিবেগ × 1/2
= 50 কিমি/ঘন্টা × 1/2
= 25 কিমি/ঘন্টা

∴ বাসের অতিক্রান্ত দূরত্ব = বাসের গতিবেগ × সময়
= 25 কিমি/ঘন্টা × 48 মিনিট
= 25 কিমি/ঘন্টা × (48/60) ঘন্টা
= 20 কিমি

সুতরাং, বাসটি 48 মিনিটে 20 কিমি দূরত্ব অতিক্রম করবে।

Upstream speed = X - Y

X+Y = 10 + 2 = 12 km/hr and X-Y = 10 - 2 = 8 km/hr
Let Time be T hours for downstream
Distance is same
∴ D = D
∴ 12 × T = 8 × (T + 4)
∴ T = 8 hours = Time for downstream
Distance = 12km/hr × 8 hours = 96 km

দেয়া আছে, 
x2 + (p - 3)x + p = 0

 x2 + (p - 3)x + p = 0 কে ax2 + bx + c = 0 সমীকরণের সাথে তুলনা করে পাই 
a = 1 , b = p - 3, c = p 

সমীকরণের মূলদ্বয় বাস্তব ও সমান হলে 
নিশ্চায়ক = 0 হবে 

b2 - 4ac = 0
(p - 3)2 - 4 × 1 × p = 0
p2 - 2 .p.3 + 9 - 4p = 0
p2 - 6p + 9 - 4p = 0
p2 - 10p + 9 = 0
p2 - 9p  -  p + 9 = 0
p(p - 9) - 1(p - 9) = 0
(p - 9)(p - 1) = 0

∴ p = 1, 9

Question: Hemal and Titu start walking towards each other at 4 AM at the speed of 5 kmph and 3 kmph respectively. They were initially 28 km apart. At what time do they meet?

Solution:
Let both will meet after t hours
Distance covered by Hemal in t hours at a speed of 5kmph = 5t
Distance covered by Titu in t hours at a speed of 3kmph = 3t
Total Distance = 28 km

According to question, 
5t + 3t = 28
⇒ 8t = 28
⇒ t = 28/8 = 3.5 =  3hours 30mins

∴ Hemal and Titu started at 4 am so they will meet after 3 hours 30mins at 7 : 30 AM

ব্যাখ্যা

Question: Akmal multiplied a number by 2/5 instead of 5/2. What is the percentage error in the calculation? 

Solution:
Let the number be x

∴ Error = (5x/2) - (2x/5)
= (25x - 4x)/10
= 21x/10

∴ percentage Error = {(21x/10)/(5x/2) × 100}% 
= 84%
