Solution:
Man’s 1 day’s work = 1/20
Woman’s 1 day’s work = 1/15
(Man + woman)’s 1 day’s work = (1/20 + 1/15) = 7/60
(Man + woman)’s 5 day’s work = (7/60 × 5) = 7/12
Thus, Remaining work = 1 - 7/12 = 5/12

=26
= 64
Question: A shirt is sold for Tk. 1500 at a profit of 20%. What would have been the actual profit or loss if it had been sold for Tk. 1200?
Solution:
Firstly let us find the cost price of the same. C.P. = 1500 × (100/120) = 1250.
New selling price = 1200
Loss = 1250 - 1200 = 50
∴ Loss percentage = 100 × (50/1250)
= 4%.
If sold at Tk. 1200, there would be a loss of 4%.
Let the milk he bought is 1000 ml
Let C.P of 1000 ml is Tk. 100
Here let he is mixing K ml of water
He is getting 30% profit
⇒ Now, the selling price is also Tk. 100 for 1000 ml
⇒ 100 : K%
⇒ 100 : 30
10 : 3 is the ratio of milk to water
Percentage of milk = 10 x 100/13
= 1000/13
= 76.92%
We are given that,
3 pumps, working 4 hours a day, can empty a tank in 2 days.
Therefore, it means that:
3 pumps take a total of 8 hours to empty the tank.
Hence, 1 pump will take 8 x 3 = 24 hours
As the number of pumps decreases, the time required increases.
So, if 4 pumps work, the time required decreases.
∴ 24/4 = 6hrs. needed to empty the tank in 1 day.
Profit earned by manufacturer = 20%
Profit earned by wholesaler = 25%
Profit earned by retailer = 30%
S.P. of shoes = Tk. 50
Therefore, 130% of 125% of 120% of x = 50.50
⇒ 120/100 × 125/100 × 130/100 × x = 5050/100
⇒ (195/100) x = 5050/100
⇒ x = (5050 × 100)/(195 × 100)
⇒ x = 25.89
Cost price of shoes = Tk. 25.89
Question: Nine times a whole number is equal to five less than twice the square of the number. Find the number?
Solution: Let the required whole number be x.
According to the question,
9x = 2x2 - 5
⇒ 2x2 - 9x - 5 = 0
⇒(x - 5)(2x + 1) = 0
⇒ x - 5 = 0 or 2x + 1 = 0
⇒ x = 5 or x = - 1/2
Since x is supposed to be a whole number, the answer, i.e., the required whole number is 5.
Question: If 8 men and 3 boys working together can do five times as much work per hour as a man and a boy together, working capacities of a man and a boy are in the ratio-
Solution:
Let,
1 man 1 day work = p
1 boy 1 day work = q
Now,
8p + 3q = 5(p + q)
or, 8p + 3q = 5p + 5q
or, 8p - 5p = 5q - 3q
or, 3p = 2q
or, p/q = 2/3
∴ p : q = 2 : 3
Question: A man buys a chair and table for Tk. 6000. He sells the chair at a loss of 10% and the table at gain of 10%. He still gains Tk. 100 on the whole. Cost price of chair is:
Solution:
Given,
Total cost price (CP) of chair and table = Tk. 6000
Total profit = Tk. 100
Let, the Cost Price (CP) of the chair be x Tk.
So, the Cost Price of the table is = (6000 - x) Tk.
At 10% loss,
Selling Price of chair = x - 10% of x
= x - (10x/100)
= 90x/100
At 10% gain,
Selling Price of table = (6000 - x) + 10% of (6000 - x)
= (6000 - x) + {(10/100) × (6000 - x)}
= 110(6000 - x)/100
So, Total Selling Price of chair and table,
= 90x/100 + {110(6000 - x)/100}
= {90x + 110(6000 - x)}/100
Now,
Total SP = Total CP + Profit
⇒ {90x + 110(6000 - x)}/100 = 6000 + 100
⇒ 90x + 110(6000 - x) = 100 × 6100
⇒ 90x + 660000 - 110x = 610000
⇒ - 20x = - 50000
⇒ x = 2500
∴ Cost price of the chair = Tk. 2500
Question: If x2 is odd, what will x2 - x be?
Solution:
যেহেতু x2 বিজোড় তাই x ও বিজোড় হবে।
এখন,
x2 - x
= x(x - 1)
= (x - 1)x
∴ (x - 1) এবং x দুইটি ক্রমিক সংখ্যা।
x বিজোড় সংখ্যা হলে (x - 1) অবশ্যই জোড় সংখ্যা হবে।
কারণ দুইটি ক্রমিক সংখ্যার মধ্যে একটি বিজোড় হলে অন্যটি জোড় হবে।
সুতরাং, x ও (x - 1) এর গুনফল,
= x(x - 1)
= x2 - x, একটি জোড় সংখ্যা। [জোড় × বিজোড় = জোড়]
Time taken by man if he did not stop
= 5 km/10 kmph
= 1/2 hr
= 30 min
∵Man takes rest for 5 minutes on each km
Total rest time= 5×4= 20 min
Total travelling time:
= 30 min+20 min
= 50 min
Question: How much water should be added to 80 liters of pure milk to gain extra 20% profit when selling the mixture at the price of pure milk?
Solution:
Let’s assume,
Price of pure milk per liter = 100 Taka
So, the price of 50 liters of pure milk = 100 × 80 = 8000 Taka
Now assume,
Water added to the milk = x liters
Then the total quantity of the milk-water mixture = (80 + x) liters
Since the mixture is sold at the price of pure milk,
The selling price of (80 + x) liters = 100(80 + x) Taka
According to the question,
100(80 + x) = 8000 + 8000 of 20%
⇒ 8000 + 100x = 8000 + {8000 × (20/100)}
⇒ 8000 + 100x = 8000 + 1600
⇒ 8000 - 8000 + 100x = 1600
⇒ 100x = 1600
⇒ x = 1600/100
⇒ x = 16
∴ Amount of water to be added = 16 liters
Area to be plastered= [2(l + b) x h] + (l x b)
= {[2(25 + 12) x 6] + (25 x 12)} m2
= (444 + 300) m2
= 744 m2.
Cost of plastering = Rs.744 x (75/100)
= Rs. 558
According to the question,
tan60° = AB/BC
⇒ √3 = x/BC
⇒ BC = x/√3 .........(1)
Again,
tan30° = AB/BD
⇒ 1/√3 = AB/BD
⇒ 1/√3 = x/BD
⇒ BD = √3x .........(2)
Now,
BD = BC + CD
⇒ √3x = (x/√3) + y [From equation (1 and 2)]
⇒ √3x = (x + √3y)/√3
⇒ 3x = x + √3y
⇒ 3x - x = √3y
⇒ 2x = √3y
Let Roni's present age be x years. Then, father's present age =(x + 3x) years = 4x years.
there4 (4x + 8) = (5/2)(x + 8)
=> 8x + 16 = 5x + 40
=> 3x = 24
=> x = 8.
Hence, required ratio = (4x + 16)/(x + 16)
= 48/24
= 2
Question: Find the value of cosec(- π/3)
Solution:

= - cosec(π/3)
= - 1/sin(π/3)
= - 1/sin60°
= - 1/(√3/2)
= - 2/√3
Question: Runa is shorter than Shila but taller than Tuli. Fahim is taller than Runa. Shila is the second-tallest person among them. Akash is shorter than Tuli. Who is the third-tallest person among them?
Solution:
First statement: Shila > Runa > Tuli
Second statement: Fahim > Runa
Third statement: Shila is the second-tallest, meaning one person is taller than Shila. Since Fahim is taller than Runa and Shila is taller than Runa, Fahim must be taller than Shila.
Therefore, Fahim > Shila > Runa
Fourth statement: Tuli > Akash
Putting everyone together: Fahim > Shila > Runa > Tuli > Akash
∴ The third-tallest person is Runa.
x-3 - 0.0001 = 0
বা, 1/x3 = 0.001
বা, 1/x3 = 1/103
বা, x3 = 103
বা, x = 10
∴ x2 = 102 = 101
Here, logx50 = logx(2×25)
= logx2 + logx52
= logx2 + 2logx5
= a + 2b [As, logx2 = a; logx5 = b]
Given that,
The area of the field = 680 sq. feet
⇒ lb = 680 sq. feet
Length(l) = 20 feet
⇒ 20 × b = 680
⇒ b = 680/20
= 34 feet
∴ Required length of the fencing = l + 2b
= 20 + (2 × 34)
= 88 feet
We know,
Distance(D) = Speed(S) × Time(T)
⇒ D = S × T
∴ S = D/T; T = D/S
Since the second train is 30 km/hr faster, it is moving at 120 km/hr
Now, let train A travel T hours before meeting train B.
Time for which train B travels = (T - 1/2) hrs.
This is because it starts half an hour late
Distance travelled is same.
∴ D = D
∴ 90 km/hr × T hrs = 120 km/hr × {T - (1/2} hrs
∴ 90T = 120T - 60
∴ T = 2 hours
Distance travelled by train A = 90 km/hr × 2 hours = 180km.
Thus they meet 180 km from starting point.
Question: A printer was sold at the loss of 6% If it were sold at Tk. 2600 more, there would be a profit of 7%. What was the cost price of the printer?
Solution:
মনে করি,
ক্রয়মূল্য = 100 টাকা
∴ 6% ক্ষতিতে বিক্রয়মূল্য = 100 - 6 = 94 টাকা
এবং
7% লাভে বিক্রয়মূল্য = 100 + 7 = 107 টাকা
∴ বিক্রয়মূল্য (107 - 94) = 13 টাকা বেশি হলে, 7% লাভে হতো।
এখন,
বিক্রয়মূল্য 13 টাকা বেশি হলে ক্রয়মূল্য 100 টাকা
∴ বিক্রয়মূল্য 1 টাকা বেশি হলে ক্রয়মূল্য (100/13) টাকা
∴ বিক্রয়মূল্য 2600 টাকা বেশি ক্রয়মূল্য (100 × 2600/13) টাকা
= 20000 টাকা।
সুতরাং, ক্রয়মূল্য 20000 টাকা।

Question: A hall measures 40 m in length, 25 m in width, and 20 m in height. If each person needs 200 cubic meters of space, how many people can the hall accommodate?
Solution:
Length of the hall = 40 m
Width of hall = 25 m
Height of hall = 20 m
∴ Volume of the hall
= 40 × 25 × 20
= 20000 m3
∴ Space occupied by each person = 200 m3
∴ Number of people that can be accommodated in the hall
= 20000/200
= 100
Question: If log105+ log10(5x + 1) = log10(x + 5) + 1, then what is the value of x ?
Solution:
log105+ log10(5x + 1) = log10(x + 5) + 1
⇒ log105+ log10(5x + 1) = log10(x + 5) + log1010
⇒ log10[5(5x + 1)] = log10[10(x + 5)
⇒ 5(5x + 1) = 10(x + 5)
⇒ 5x + 1 = 2x + 10
⇒ 3x = 9
∴ x = 3
Question: If the nth term of an arithmetic progression is 5n + 2, then what is the common difference?
Solution:
The nth term of an arithmetic progression is Tn = 5n + 2
n = 1 then, T1 = 5 × 1 + 2 = 7
n = 2 then, T2 = 5 × 2 + 2 = 12
n = 3 then, T3 = 5 × 3 + 2 = 17
n = 4 then, T4 = 5 × 4 + 2 = 22
............................
Common difference,
T2 - T1 = 12 - 7 = 5
T4 - T3 = 22 - 17 = 5
∴ The common difference is 5.
Question: If sin θ = 3/5 and θ is an acute angle, find the value of tan θ.
Solution:
Given sin θ = 3/5 and θ is acute.
We know,
sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
cos2θ = 1 - (3/5)2 = 1 - 9/25 = 16/25
∴ cos θ = √(16/25) = 4/5
Now, tan θ = sin θ/cos θ
= (3/5) ÷ (4/5)
= 3/4
∴ tan θ = 3/4.

Question: Find the LCM of 2.5, 0.5 and 0.175.
Solution:
Given that,
2.5 = 25/10
0.5 = 5/10
0.175 = 175/1000
Now,
LCM of Numerators is 25, 5, 175 = 175
and HCF of Denominators is 10, 10, 1000 = 10
We know,
LCM of two or more fractions is given by,
LCM = LCM of Numerators/HCF of Denominators
= 175/10
= 17.5
Let each tree take T amount of water every day.
So 72 trees take 72T water in one day.
With 10% reduction each tree will consume 90T/100 amount each day.
So 90 trees take 90 (90T/100) amount in one day
Total water quantity is constant
∴ 72T × 54 = 90 × (90T/100) × D
∴ D = 48 days = Number of days 90 trees can use the water.
Question: The radius of a wheel is 7 cm. How many revolutions will it make in travelling 88 kilometers?
Solution:
আমরা জানি,
চাকার পরিধি = 2πr = 2 × (22/7) × 7 = 44 সে. মি.
∴ মোট দূরত্ব = 88 কি. মি. = 88 × 1000 × 100 = 8800000 সে. মি.
∴ ঘূর্ণন সংখ্যা = 8800000/44 = 200000 টি
Let the value of one taka, 50 cents, and 25 cents be 11x, 9x, 5x respectively.
No. of 1 taka coins = (11x / 1) =11x
No. of 50 cents coins = (9x / 0.5) = 18x
No. of 25 cents coins = (5x / 0.25) = 20x
11x + 18x + 9x = 342
⇒ 38x = 342
⇒ x = 9
Therefore, no. of 1 taka coins = 11 x 9 = 99 coins
No. of 50 cents coins = 18 x 9 = 162 coins
No. of 25 cents coins = 20 x 9 = 180 coins.
