Solution:
We have log3{log2 (x2 - 4x - 37)} = 1
⇒ log2(x2 - 4x - 37) = 3
⇒ x2 - 4x - 37 = 8
⇒ x2 - 4x - 45 = 0
⇒ (x - 9) (x + 5) = 0
⇒ x = 9, - 5
Since x is a natural number, so x = 9.

Question: Which of the following is a leap year?
Solution:
অধিবর্ষ বা লিপ ইয়ার নির্ণয়ের দুটি প্রধান নিয়ম রয়েছে:
১. সাধারণ বছর: বছরটি 4 দ্বারা নিঃশেষে বিভাজ্য হতে হবে।
২. শতাব্দী বছর (100 দ্বারা বিভাজ্য): বছরটি 400 দ্বারা নিঃশেষে বিভাজ্য হতে হবে।
এখন,
ক) 1900 সাল (শতাব্দী বছর): 1900 ÷ 400 দ্বারা বিভাজ্য নয় (ভাগশেষ 300)। ⇒ অধিবর্ষ নয়।
খ) 2000 সাল (শতাব্দী বছর): 2000 ÷ 400 = 5 (ভাগশেষ 0)। ⇒ অধিবর্ষ।
গ) 2022 সাল: এটি 4 দ্বারা বিভাজ্য নয়। (2022 ÷ 4 ⇒ ভাগশেষ 2)। ⇒ অধিবর্ষ নয়।
ঘ) 2010 সাল: এটি 4 দ্বারা বিভাজ্য নয়। (2010 ÷ 4 ⇒ ভাগশেষ 2)। ⇒ অধিবর্ষ নয়।
অতএব, 2000 সালটি অধিবর্ষ।
Question: If (√11 - 2)/(√11 + 2) = a√11 + b, then the value of a is-
Solution:
L.H.S = (√11 - 2)/(√11 + 2)
= {(√11 - 2)/(√11 + 2)} × (√11 - 2)/(√11 - 2)
= (√11 - 2)2/{(√11)2- 22}
= (11 + 4 - 2 × 2 × √11)/(11 - 4)
= (15 - 4√11)/7
= (15/7) - (4/7) × √11
= - (4/7) × √11 + (15/7)
= a√11 + b (R.H.S)
(Compare the coefficients of √11 and constant term)
a = - (4/7)
b = (15/7)
∴ the value of a = - (4/7)
Question: If x ≥ 7 and y ≤ 4 which of the following must be true?
Solution:
Given that,
x ≥ 7
and y ≤ 4
⇒ - y ≥ - 4
Now,
x - y ≥ 7 - 4
∴ x - y ≥ 3
Question: (1/2)(logx + logy) will equal to log{(x + y)/2} if -
Solution:
(1/2)(logx + logy) = log{(x + y)/2}
⇒ (1/2)log(xy) = log{(x + y)/2}
⇒ log(xy)1/2 = log{(x + y)/2}
⇒ (xy)1/2 = (x + y)/2
⇒ xy = {(x + y)/2}2
⇒ 4xy = x2 + y2 + 2xy
⇒ x2 + y2 - 2xy = 0
⇒ (x - y)2 = 0
⇒ x - y = 0
∴ x = y
Question: A boat running upstream takes 12 hours to cover a certain distance, while it takes 8 hours to cover the same distance running downstream. What is the ratio between the speed of the boat and the speed of the water current respectively?
Solution:
ধরি,
স্থির পানিতে নৌকার গতি = b কিমি/ঘণ্টা
স্রোতের গতি = c কিমি/ঘণ্টা
দূরত্ব = d কিমি
স্রোতের প্রতিকূলে নৌকার গতিবেগ = (b - c) কিমি/ঘণ্টা
∴ d/(b - c) = 12
⇒ d = 12(b - c)
স্রোতের অনুকূলে নৌকার গতিবেগ = (b + c) কিমি/ঘণ্টা
∴ d/(b + c) = 8
⇒ d = 8(b + c)
এখন, উভয় ক্ষেত্রে দূরত্ব সমান হওয়ায়,
12(b - c) = 8(b + c)
⇒ 3(b - c) = 2(b + c)
⇒ 3b - 3c = 2b + 2c
⇒ b = 5c
⇒ b/c = 5/1
∴ b : c = 5 : 1
Question: A train of 180 m long is moving at 72 km/h. The time taken by the train to cross a tunnel of 420 m long is-
Solution:
মোট অতিক্রান্ত দূরত্ব = ট্রেনের দৈর্ঘ্য + টানেলের দৈর্ঘ্য
= (180 + 420) মিটার
= 600 মিটার
ট্রেনের গতিবেগ = 72 কিমি/ঘন্টা
= (72 × 1000) মিটার/3600 সেকেন্ড
= 20 মিটার/সেকেন্ড
সময় = দূরত্ব ÷ গতিবেগ
= 600 মিটার ÷ 20 মিটার/সেকেন্ড
= 30 সেকেন্ড
সুতরাং, টানেলটি অতিক্রম করতে ট্রেনটির 30 সেকেন্ড সময় লাগবে।

Question: How many terms of the arithmetic should be progression 3, 7, 11, ... taken to make its sum equals to 820?
Solution:
এটি একটি সমান্তর ধারা,
যার ১ম পদ, a = 3
সাধারণ অন্তর, d = 4
আমরা জানি,
n- তম পদের সমষ্টি,
Sn = (n/2)[2a + (n - 1)d]
প্রশ্নমতে,
(n/2)[2a + (n - 1)d] = 820
⇒ (n/2)[6 + (n - 1)4] = 820
⇒ (n/2)[6 + 4n - 4] = 820
⇒ (n/2)[2(1 + 2n)] = 820
⇒ n(2n + 1) = 820
⇒ 2n2 + n - 820 = 0
⇒ 2n2 - 40n + 41n - 820 = 0
⇒ n(2n - 40) + 41(n - 40) = 0
⇒ (2n - 40)(n + 41) = 0
হয়,
⇒ 2n - 40 = 0
⇒ 2n = 40
n = 20
অথবা,
n + 41 = 0
n = - 41 ;[যা গ্রহণযোগ্য নয়]
সুতরাং, প্রদত্ত ধারাটিতে পদ আছে 20 টি।
Question: If n(U) = 50, n(A) = 28, n(B) = 26 and n(A ∩ B) = 12 then n(A ∪ B)′ = ?
Solution:
আমরা জানি,
n(A ∪ B)= n(A) + n(B) - (A ∩ B)
= 28 + 26 - 12
= 42
এখন,
n(A ∪ B)′= n(U) - n(A ∪ B)
= 50 - 42
= 8
সুতরাং, n(A ∪ B)′ = 8
Question: What will come at the place of question mark ?
9, 17, 33, 65, ?
Solution:
Here,
First term = 9
Second term = (9 × 2 -1) = 17
Third term = (17 × 2 -1) = 33
Fourth term = (33 × 2 -1) = 65
∴ Fifth term = (65 × 2 -1) = 129
Since the train is late, the allotted time = Y - 2.
D = T × S
X = (Y - 2) × S
or, S = X/(Y - 2)
Distance covered in 26 seconds.
= 26 × 72 × (5/18)
= 520 meter.
Length of the train = (520 - 250) meter
= 270 meter.
Given that, (10a + b) - (10b + a) = 27
⇒ 9a - 9b = 27
⇒ a - b = 3
Question: A tank is filled in 9 hours by three pipes A, B and C. The pipe C is twice as fast as B and B is twice as fast as A. How much time will pipe A alone take to fill the tank?
Solution:
Suppose,
Pipe A alone takes x hours to fill the tank.
Then, pipes B and C will take x/2 and x/4 hours respectively to fill the tank.
Now,
⇒ (1/x) + (2/x) + (4/x) = 1/9
⇒ 7/x = 1/9
∴ x = 63
∴ Pipe A alone takes 63 hours to fill the tank.
Question: P and Q are two alloys of gold and copper prepared by mixing metals in the ratio 7 : 2 and 7 : 11 respectively. If equal amounts of both alloys are melted to form a third alloy R, then the ratio of gold and copper in R will be -
Solution:
Alloy P (Gold : Copper) = 7:2
Gold fraction in P = 7/9
Copper fraction in P = 2/9
Alloy Q (Gold : Copper) = 7:11
Gold fraction in Q = 7/18
Copper fraction in Q = 11/18
Let, 1 kg of each alloy is mixed;
Gold in Alloy R = 7/9 + 7/18 = 21/18
Copper in Alloy R = 2/9 + 11/18 = 15/18
∴ The ratio of Gold:Copper in R = (21/18) : (15/18)
= 21 : 15
= 7 : 5
Question: Express the following inequality using absolute value notation:
- 18 < x < - 6
Solution:
Given: - 18 < x < - 6
The midpoint (average) of - 18 and - 6 is,
Midpoint = {- 18 + (- 6)}/2
= - 24/2
= - 12
Now add 12 to all parts of the inequality to center it at zero.
- 18 + 12 < x + 12 < - 6 + 12
⇒ - 6 < x + 12 < 6
This is equivalent to |x + 12| < 6
Question: If the simple interest on Tk. M at M% per annum for 4 years is Tk. M, what is the value of M?
Solution:
Given,
P = M
r = M% = M/100
n = 4 years
I = M
We know,
I = Prn
⇒ M = M × (M/100) × 4
⇒ M = M × M/25
∴ M = 25
Question: 9 pumps working 8 hours a day can empty a reservoir in 20 days. How many such pumps are needed to empty the same reservoir working 6 hours a day in 16 days?
Solution:
The total work required to empty the reservoir is equal to the number of pumps multiplied by the hours they work per day and the number of days.
So, total work = 9 pumps × 8 hours/day × 20 days = 1440 pump-hours.
Let x be the number of pumps needed. These pumps will work 6 hours per day for 16 days. So, total work done by these pumps = x pumps × 6 hours/day × 16 days = 96 x pump-hours.
Since the total work is the same, 1440 pump-hours = 96 × x pump-hours.
Divide 1440 by 96
We get, x = 15.
Given, x% of 40 = y
⇒ 40x/100 = y
⇒ x = 100y/40
⇒ x = 5y/2
∴ 10x = 25y
Let,
the number be x
then, 63x - 36x = 3834
⇒ 27x = 3834
⇒ x = 3834/27
⇒ x = 142.
(489.1375 x 0.0483 x 1.956) / (0.0873 x 92.581 x 99.749)
≈ 489 x 0.05 x 2 / 0.09 x 93 x 100
= 489/ (9 x 93 x 10)
= (163/279)x (1/10)
= 0.58/ 10
= .058
≈ .06
Question: A circle and a rectangle have the same perimeter. The sides of the rectangle are 20 cm and 46 cm. What is the area of the circle?
Solution:
আয়তক্ষেত্রটির পরিসীমা = 2 × (20 + 46) সেমি
= 132 সেমি।
যেহেতু বৃত্তের পরিধি ও আয়তক্ষেত্রের পরিসীমা সমান, তাই বৃত্তের পরিধিও 132 সেমি।
বৃত্তের পরিধি, C = 2πr
⇒ 2πr = 132
⇒ r = 132/(2 × 22/7)
∴ r = 21 সেমি।
বৃত্তের ক্ষেত্রফল, A = πr2
= (22/7) × (21)2
= 1386 বর্গ সেমি।
সুতরাং, বৃত্তটির ক্ষেত্রফল হলো 1386 বর্গ সেমি।
Volume of cylinder = πr2h
As height = radius
So, πr2h = πr2×r = πr3
Volume of sphere = 4/3 πr3
As the radius is Halfen, Here r = r/2
So, volume of sphere = (4/3)π × (r/2)3 = (πr3)/6
∴ Number of balls = πr3/(πr3/6) = 6
Question: An observer 1.6 m tall stands 20 meters away from a tree. The angle of elevation from his eye to the top of the tree is 45°. What is the height of the tree?
Solution:
মনে করি,
গাছটির উচ্চতা AB। পর্যবেক্ষকের চোখ C বিন্দুতে আছে এবং তার উচ্চতা CD = 1.6 m
পর্যবেক্ষক থেকে গাছটির দূরত্ব BD = 20 m
এখানে, A, C এবং E বিন্দু দ্বারা গঠিত ACE হলো একটি সমকোণী ত্রিভুজ, যার ∠C = 45°।
আমরা জানি,
tan θ = লম্ব/ভূমি
এখানে, লম্ব = AE এবং ভূমি = CE
∴ tan 45° = AE/20
∴ 1 = AE/20
∴ AE = 20 মিটার
গাছটির মোট উচ্চতা, AB = AE + EB
= 20 + 1.6
= 21.6 মিটার
সুতরাং, গাছটির উচ্চতা হলো 21.6 মিটার।
Question: If p and q are the roots of the equation 3x2− 7x + 2 = 0, then what is the value of (1/p) + (1/q)?
Solution:
3x2− 7x + 2 = 0
⇒ 3x2- 6x - x + 2 = 0
⇒ 3x (x - 2) - 1 (x - 2) = 0
⇒ (3x - 1)(x - 2) = 0
⇒ x = 1/3 = p
∴ x = 2 = q
Now,
1/p + 1/q
= 1/(1/3) + 1/2
= 3 + 1/2
= 7/2
Question: If (n - 1) is an odd number, what are the two other odd numbers nearest to it?
Solution:
n - 1 is an odd number
previous odd number = n - 1 - 2 = n - 3
next odd number = n - 1 + 2 = n + 1
Question: A cricketer whose bowling average is 12.4 runs per wicket takes 5 wickets for 26 runs and thereby decreases his average by 0.4. The number of wickets taken by him till the last match was -
Solution:
Let the cricketer takes x wickets before last match
Total run = 12.4x + 26
New average = (12.4x + 26) / (x + 5)
ATQ,
(12.4x + 26) / (x + 5) = 12.4 - 0.4
⇒ (12.4x + 26) = 12 (x + 5)
⇒ 12.4x - 12x = 60 - 26
⇒ 0.4x = 34
⇒ x = 34/0.4
= 85
The number of wickets taken by him till the last match was = 85 wickets
Question: If 4n - 2 = 128, find the value of n.
Solution:
4n - 2 = 128
⇒ (22)n - 2 = 27
⇒ 22(n - 2) = 27
⇒ 22n - 4 = 27
⇒ 2n - 4 = 7
⇒ 2n = 7 + 4
⇒ 2n = 11
⇒ n = 11/2
∴ n = 5.5
Question: If A = 45° , then what is the value of (1 - tan2A)/(1 + tan2A)?
Solution:
Here, A = 45°
Now,
(1 - tan2A)/(1 + tan2A)
= {1 - (tan45°)2}/{1 + (tan45°)2}
= (1 - 12)/(1 + 12)
= 0/2
= 0
