Question: Munna covers one-third of a road at 3 km/h and the remaining distance at 6 km/h. His average speed is-

Solution:
ধরি, রাস্তাটির দূরত্ব x km
3 km/h বেগে অতিক্রম করে x/3 কিমি ও
6 km/h বেগে অতিক্রম করে = (x - x/3) কিমি
= 2x/3 কিমি

গড় বেগ = (2x)/{(x/3/3) + (2x/3/6)}
= x/(x/9 + x/9)
= 9/2
= 4.5 kmph

Solution:
আমরা জানি, ভগ্নাংশের গসাগু = (লবের গসাগু)/(হরের লসাগু)

এখানে লব = 2, 4 এবং 6
2 = 2 × 1
4 = 2 × 2
6 = 2 × 3
∴ লবের গসাগু (H.C.F.) = 2

হর = 4, 6 এবং 8
4 = 2²
6 = 2 × 3
8 = 2³
∴ হরের লসাগু (L.C.M.) = 2³ × 3 = 8 × 3 = 24

ভগ্নাংশের গসাগু = লবের গসাগু/হরের লসাগু
= 2/24

ধরি, মোট বিনিয়োগ x টাকা
A বিনিয়োগ করে x/3 টাকা
B + C = (x - x/3) = 2x/3
কিন্তু, B এর বিনিয়োগ পরিমান A ও C এর মোট বিনিয়োগের সমান।
∴ x/3 + C + C = 2x/3
⇒ 2C = 2x/3 - x/3
⇒ 2C = x/3
⇒ C = x/6 এবং B = 2x/3 - x/6 = 3x/6 = x/2
A : B : C = x/3 : x/2 : x/6 = 2 : 3 : 1
∴ C এর লাভের পরিমাণ { 900 এর 1/(3 + 2 + 1)} = (900 এর 1/6) = 150 টাকা

প্রশ্ন: A man bought some toys at the rate of 10 for Tk. 40 and sold them at 8 for Tk. 35. Find his gain or loss percent.

সমাধান:
Cost price of 10 toys = Tk. 40
∴ CP of 1 toy = Tk. 4

Selling price of 8 toys = Tk. 35
∴ SP of 1 toy = Tk. 35/8

Therefore, Gain = 35/8 – 4 = 3/8.

Gain percent = {(3/8)/4} × 100% =(75/8)%

Solution:
Let, Principal amount = P
Sum of amount = 4P
∴ Interest, I = 4P - P = 3P
Time, n = 20 years
Rate of interest = r

We know, I = Pnr/100
⇒ Pnr/100 = 3P
⇒ nr/100 = 3
⇒ 20 × r/100 = 3
⇒ 20r = 300
⇒ r = 300/20
⇒ r = 15

∴ The annual interest rate is 15%.

Question: If x and y are negative integers, which of the following must be true?
i. x - y > 0
ii. (x/y) > y
iii. x² > y

Solution:
X and Y are -ve integers

(i) x - y > 0
Case 1:
x = - 2 and y = - 3
- 2 + 3 = 1 > 0 (YES)

Case 2:
x = - 3 and y = - 2
- 3 + 2 = - 1 > 0 (NO)
Hence option 1 & option 4 can be ruled out

(ii) (x/y) > y
Case 1:
x = - 2 and y = - 3
(- 2/- 3) > - 3
= 0.66 > - 3 (YES)
LHS will be always positive since numerator and denominator are -ve and RHS is always -ve
Hence it must be true

(III) x² > y
Case 1:
x = - 2 and y = - 3
⇒ (- 2)² > - 3
∴ 4 > - 3
This case is always true because a -ve integer will turn +ve once squared and RHS will be always -ve
Hence it must be true

Therefore,
(2 + 7 + 6 + x)/4 = 5
⇒ 15 + x = 20
⇒ x = 20 - 15
∴ x = 5

Therefore,
(18 + 1 + 6 + x + y)/5 = 10
⇒ (18 + 1 + 6 + 5 + y)/5 = 10
⇒ 30 + y = 50
⇒ y = 50 - 30
∴ y = 20

Suppose the average expenditure was Tk. a.
Then total expenditure = 35a
When 7 more students join the mess, total expenditure = 35a + 42
Now, the average expenditure= (35a + 42)/(35 + 7)

Now, we have,
(35a + 42)/42 = (a - 1)
⇒ 35a + 42 = 42a – 42
⇒ 7a = 84
⇒ a = 12
Thus the original expenditure of the mess = 35 x 12 = 420.

Solution:
Let the two integers be x and y.
Then we get,
x + y = 48
y = 48 - x .....(1)

And, xy = 432
⇒ x(48 - x) = 432 ; [From (1)]
⇒ 48x - x² = 432
⇒ x² - 48x + 432 = 0
⇒ x² - 36x - 12x + 432 = 0
⇒ x(x - 36) - 12(x - 36) = 0
⇒ (x - 36)(x - 12) = 0
Now, x - 36 = 0
∴ x = 36
Or, x - 12 = 0
∴ x = 12
Therefore the two numbers are 12 and 36.

∴ The smaller number is 12.

Question: A train travels 360 km at a uniform speed. If the speed had been 5 km/h more, it would have taken 1 hour less for the same journey. Find the speed of the train.

Solution:
Given distance=360 km.
Let the speed of the train be x km/hr.
Speed when increased by 5 km/hr = (x + 5) km/hr

(360/x) - {360/(x + 5)} = 1
⇒ [360x + 1800 - 360x]/x(x + 5) =1
⇒ 1800/(x² + 5x) = 1
⇒ x² + 5x = 1800
⇒ x² + 5x - 1800 = 0
⇒ x² + 45x - 40x - 1800 = 0
⇒ x(x + 45) - 40(x + 45) = 0
⇒ (x- 40)(x + 45) = 0
∴ x = 40, - 45

The speed of the train is 40 km/hr.

Question: Three numbers which are co-prime to each other are such that the product of the first two is 551 and that of the last two is 1073. The sum of the three numbers is-

Solution:
Let the three numbers be a, b, and c.

Given that,
a × b = 551 = 19 × 29 ...… (1) ; [both 19 and 29 are prime numbers]
∴ a = 19, b = 29

And,
b × c = 1073 = 29 × 37 ...… (2) ; [both 29 and 37 are prime numbers]
∴ b = 29, c = 37

∴ a : b : c = 19 : 29 : 37
So the three numbers are 19, 29, 37

∴ sum = 19 + 29 + 37 = 85

Question: The father explained to his son, “When you were born, I had reached the age you are now.” If the father is 52, what was the son’s age five years ago?

Solution:
let, at present son is x years old
so, at time of his birth the father was x years old

∴ at present the age of father is = x + x year
= 2x years

2x = 52
⇒ x = 52/2
= 26 years

∴ the son's age five years back was = 26 - 5

ব্যাখ্যা

Let B does 1 work in x days
Then, A does [1/2] work in x/6 days
To do 1 unit work, A will take x/3 days

That means the time ratio of A: B = x: x/3
Or time ratio = 1: 1/3
Or time ratio = 3: 1

As we know that the efficiency ratio is inversely proportional to the time ratio

i.e., Efficiency ratio of A: B = 1: 3

ATQ,

(A + B) = 10 days
Total work = days × efficiency of (A + B)
Or, total work = 10 × 4 = 40 units
i.e., B can finish the work in = total work/ efficiency of B

So, B can finish the work in 40/1 = 40 days.

Question: A monkey climbs a 60 m high pole. In the first minute, he climbs 6 m and slips down 3 m in the next minute. How much time is required by it to reach the top?

Solution:
According to the question,
For 1^st min, he climbs 6 m and comes down 3 m in 2^nd min.
Effectively in 2 min, he climbs 3 m.

In 1 min, he climbs (3/2) m

So, in 36 mins he climbs = (3/2) × 36 = 54 m

So, in the 37^th minute, he climbs the next 6 m.

∴ The required value is 37 minutes.

Question: A student has bought x pencils at Tk. 5 each and (x + 4) notebooks at Tk. 8 each. If the total cost does not exceed Tk. 97, what is the maximum number of notebooks he has bought?

Solution:
A student has bought x pencils at Tk. 5 each and (x + 4) notebooks at Tk. 8 each.
Total cost = 5x + 8(x + 4)
= 5x + 8x + 32
= 13x + 32

So, 13x + 32 ≤ 97
⇒ 13x ≤ 97 - 32
⇒ 13x ≤ 65
⇒ x ≤ 5
⇒ x + 4 ≤ 5 + 4
∴ x + 4 ≤ 9

So, the maximum number of notebooks he has bought is 9

Question: In a school having roll strength 286, the ratio of boys and girls is 8 : 5. If 22 more girls get admitted into the school, the ratio of boys and girls becomes

Solution:
Boys : girls = 8 : 5
Let, the boys = 8x, girl = 5x

According to the 1st condition,
8x + 5x = 286
⇒ 13x = 286
⇒ x = 286/13
∴ x = 22
Boys = 8 × 22 = 176 and girls = 5 × 2 = 110

22 more girls get admitted then the number of girls become
(5x + 22) = 110 + 22 = 132

Now, new ratio of boys and girls = 176 : 132 = 4 : 3

Question: Fresh fruit contains 68% water and dry fruit contains 20% water. How much dry fruit can be obtained from 100 kg of fresh fruits?

Solution:
The fruit content in both the fresh fruit and dry fruit is the same.

Given, fresh fruit has 68% water. So remaining 32% is fruit content. Weight of fresh fruits is 100kg

Dry fruit has 20% water. So remaining 80% is fruit content. Let weight of dry fruit be y kg.

Fruit % in freshfruit = Fruit% in dryfruit
(32/100) × 100 = (80/100 ) × y
⇒ 32 = (8/10) × y
⇒ y = (32 × 10)/8
∴ y = 40

We get, y = 40 kg

Let,
the speed of the stream be = u kmph
the speed of the boat be = v kmph
speed upstream will be = v - u kmph
speed downstream will be = v + u kmph

30 km upstream in time duration = 30 / (v - u) hrs
44 km downstream in time duration = 44 / (v + u) hrs
44/(v + u) + 30/(v - u)
= 10 hrs .........(i)

Similarly,
40 /(v - u) + 55 / (v + u) = 13 hrs Multiply with 3/4:
30/(v - u) + 165 / 4(v + u) = 39/4 .......(ii)

Now (i) - (ii)
⇒ [44 - 165/4] / (v + u) = 10 - 39/4 = 1/4
⇒ v + u = 11 ..........(iii)
Substitute this in (1) to get: 44/11 + 30/(v - u) = 10
⇒ v - u = 30/6 = 5.........(iv)

Solving (iii) and (iv) ,
we get :
v = 8 kmph and
u = 3 kmph

Solution:
Let,
Present age of Rahul's sister = x years
Present age of Rahul = x + 6 years (since Rahul is 6 years older)

Five years ago,
Rahul’s age = (x + 6) - 5 = x + 1
And sister’s age = x - 5

According to the question,
x + 1 = 2(x - 5)
⇒ x + 1 = 2x - 10
⇒ 2x - x = 10 + 1
∴ x = 11

∴ Rahul's present age = x + 6 = 11 + 6 = 17 years.

Question: The marked price of a watch was Tk. 720. A man bought the same for Tk. 550.80 after getting two successive discounts. the first being 10%. then the second discount rate is-

Solution:
Marked price = 720
Actual price = 550.80
First discount = 10%
Let the second discount be x%
Then, we can write
⇒ 720(1 - 0.1)(1 - x/100) = 550.80
⇒ 720 × 0.9(1 - 0.01x) = 550.8
⇒ 648(1 - x/100) = 550.8
⇒ 1 - x/100 = 550.8/648
⇒ x/100 = 1 - 0.85
⇒ x/100 = 0.15
⇒ x = 0.15 × 100
∴ x = 15

∴ Second discount = 15%

Question: A sum of Tk. 30,000 yields a compound interest of Tk. 4347 when invested at 7% per annum. What is the investment period in years?

Solution:
Given,
Principal, P = 30000
Rate, r = 7% per annum
Compound Interest, CI = 4347

We know,
Amount, A = P + CI = 30000 + 4347 = 34347

Using the compound amount formula:
A = P(1 + r/100)ⁿ
⇒ 34347 = 30000 × (1 + 7/100)ⁿ
⇒ 34347 = 30000 × (107/100)ⁿ
⇒ (107/100)ⁿ = 34347/30000
⇒ (1.07)ⁿ = 1.1449
⇒ (1.07)ⁿ = (1.07)²∴ n = 2 years

Solution:
ধরি, মিশ্রণে Detergent A এর অংশ x%
∴ Detergent B এর অংশ হবে (100 - x%)

এখানে,
ডিটারজেন্ট A থেকে প্রাপ্ত ব্লিচের পরিমাণ হলো (x% এর 30%)।
ডিটারজেন্ট B থেকে প্রাপ্ত ব্লিচের পরিমাণ হলো (100 - x)% এর 50%।
চূড়ান্ত মিশ্রণে ব্লিচের মোট পরিমাণ হলো (100% এর 40%)।

প্রশ্নমতে,
0.30x + 0.50 × (100 - x) = 0.40 × 100
⇒ 0.30x + 50 - 0.50x = 40
⇒ - 0.20x = - 10
⇒ x = - 10/(- 0.20)
∴ x = 50

অর্থাৎ, মিশ্রণের 50% হবে Detergent A

Solution:
Given that,
Total amount = Tk. 1360
A gets 2/3 of what B gets ⇒ A = 2B/3
B gets 1/4 of what C gets ⇒ B = C/4 ⇒ C = 4B

ATQ,
A + B + C = 1360
⇒ (2B/3) + B + 4B = 1360
⇒ (2B + 3B + 12B)/3 = 1360
⇒ 17B/3 = 1360
⇒ B = (1360 × 3)/17
∴ B = 240

∴ B’s share = Tk. 240

Question: Five years ago, Rahul was twice as old as his sister. Now, Rahul is 6 years older than his sister. What is the present age of Rahul?

Solution:
Let,
Present age of Rahul's sister = x years
Present age of Rahul = x + 6 years (since Rahul is 6 years older)

Five years ago,
Rahul’s age = (x + 6) - 5 = x + 1
And sister’s age = x - 5

According to the question,
x + 1 = 2(x - 5)
⇒ x + 1 = 2x - 10
⇒ 2x - x = 10 + 1
∴ x = 11

∴ Rahul's present age = x + 6 = 11 + 6 = 17 years.

Question: A swimmer can swim at 5 km/hour in still water. When the river flows at 1 km/hour, then he takes 75 minutes to go to a certain point and come back to the starting point. How far is this place?

Solution:
Given that,
Total time = 5 hours and Speed of river = 1 km/hour
Total time to go to a certain point and come back = 75 min = 75/60 h = 5/4 h

Now, Let the distance to the point be x km.
When swimming downstream, the swimmer's speed = (5 + 1) = 6 km/h.
When swimming upstream, the swimmer's speed = (5 - 1) = 4 km/h

Now,
T₁ + T₂ = T
⇒ (x/6) + (x/4) = 5/4
⇒ (2x + 3x)/12 = 5/4
⇒ 5x = 15
⇒ x = 15/5
∴ x = 3 km.

∴ The place is 3 km away from the starting point.

Question: If a shopkeeper sells a watch for Tk. 600, he incurs a loss of 20%. At what price should he sell it to make a profit of 20%?

Solution:
Let the Cost Price (CP) of the watch be x.
Selling price = x - 20% of x
⇒ 600 = x - (20x/100)
⇒ 600 = 80x/100
⇒ 80x = 60000
⇒ x = 750 (This is the CP)

To gain 20% = 750 + 20% of 750
= 750 + (20 × 750)/100
= 750 + 150
= Tk. 900

Solution:
Given,
Total people = 10

∴ Ways of selecting 4 people from 10 = ¹⁰C₄
= 210

We want at least 2 women, so there are 3 possible combinations:
1st combination: 2 women and 2 men
= ⁶C₂ × ⁴C₂
= 15 × 6
= 90

2nd combination: 3 women and 1 man
= ⁶C₃ × ⁴C₁
= 20 × 4
= 80

3rd combination: 4 women and 0 man
= ⁶C₄
= 15

∴ Total outcomes = 90 + 80 + 15
= 185

∴ Probability = 185/210
= 37/42

(1) First find total age of 5 members 2 years ago
(2) Present age of 5 members
(3) Total age of 6 members
(4) Age of baby = Total age of 6 members - Present age of 5 members

We know that,
Average = Sum of Quantities/Number of Quantities

1) First calculate total age of 5 members 2 years ago = (Average age of 5 members x number of members)
First calculate total age of 5 members 2 years ago = (16 x 5) = 80 years

2) Calculate the present age of 5 members
2 years ago, their total age was 80 years. Present age can be calculated as follows:
Present age of 5 members = [80 + (2 x 5)] = 90 years

3) Calculate total age of 6 members considering baby = (16 x 6 ) = 96 years

4) Age of baby = (96 – 90)
= 6 years.
