In 1st mixture, water = 10/100 × 20 = 2 kg
So, Spirit = 20-2 = 18 kg
In 2nd mixture where the water is 25%,
75 kg of spirit is contained in 100 kg mixture
So, 18 kg spirit is contained in = (100×18)/75 = 24 kg
So, water to be added = 24-20 = 4 kg

Question: A number is selected from the first 20 natural numbers. Find the probability that it would be divisible by 3 or 7?

Solution:
Let X be the event that the number selected would be divisible by 3
and Y be the event that the selected number would be divisible by 7.
Then X ∪ Y denotes the event that the number would be divisible by 3 or 7.

Now,
X = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18}
and Y = {7, 14}
∴ X ∪ Y = {3, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 15, 18}

∴ n(X ∪ Y) = 8

∴ The probability that it would be divisible by 3 or 7 = 8/20

Question: 800 grams of sugar solution has 30% sugar in it. How much sugar should be added to make 50% in the solution?

Solution:
Amount of sugar = 800 × 30/100
= 240 grams

Let, x gm sugar to be added
ATQ,
(240 + x)/(800 + x) = 50%
⇒ (240 + x)/(800 + x) =  = 1/2
⇒ 480 + 2x = 800 + x
⇒ 2x - x = 800 - 480 
∴ x = 320 gm

Solution:
দেয়া আছে,
2 < x < 5
3 < y < 5

এখন, আমরা x - y এর সীমা বের করতে চাই। এর জন্য, y এর অসমতাকে - y এর অসমতায় রূপান্তর করতে হবে।
3 < y < 5
⇒ - 3 > - y > - 5 [- 1 দ্বারা গুণ করে]
⇒ - 5 < - y < - 3 

এইবার x এবং - y এর অসমতা দুটি যোগ করি,
⇒ (2 < x < 5) + (- 5 < - y < - 3)
⇒ −3 < x - y < 2

Question: Jahid ran a 2 mile race at an average speed of 8 miles per hour. If Alam ran the same race at an average speed of 6 miles per hour, how many minutes longer than Jahid did Alam take to complete the race?

Solution:
We know,
Time = Distance ÷ Speed

Jahid takes,
2 = Time × 8
⇒ Time = 1/4 hours
∴ Time = 15 minutes

Alam Takes,
2 = Time × 6
⇒ Time = 1/3 hours
∴ Time = 20 minutes

Difference = (20 - 15) = 5 minutes

ধরি,
লোকটি স্রোতের অনুকূলে 5 কিমি এবং স্রোতের প্রতিকূলে 3 কিমি যেতে x ঘন্টা সময় নেয়।

∴ স্রোতের অনুকূলে গতিবেগ = 5/x কিমি/ঘন্টা।
স্রোতের প্রতিকূলে গতিবেগ = 3/x কিমি/ঘন্টা।

এখন,
মোট সময় = স্রোতের অনুকূলে যাওয়ার সময় + স্রোতের প্রতিকূলে আসার সময়
⇒ 8 = {30/(5/x)} + {30/(3/x)} [সময় = দূরত্ব/বেগ]
⇒ 8 = (30x/5) + (30x/3)
⇒ 8 = 6x + 10x
⇒ 8 = 16x
⇒ x = 8/16 
⇒ x = 1/2

তাহলে, স্রোতের অনুকূলে গতিবেগ = 5/(1/2) = 10 কিমি/ঘন্টা।
স্রোতের প্রতিকূলে গতিবেগ = 3/(1/2) = 6 কিমি/ঘন্টা।

স্রোতের গতিবেগ = (স্রোতের অনুকূলে গতিবেগ - স্রোতের প্রতিকূলে গতিবেগ)/2
= (10 - 6)/2 কিমি/ঘন্টা
= 4/2 কিমি/ঘন্টা
= 2 কিমি/ঘন্টা

প্রশ্ন: log10{(x + y)/4} = (1/2)(log10x + log10y) হলে (x/y) + (y/x) এর মান কত?

সমাধান:
log10{(x + y)/4} = (1/2)(log10x + log10y)
⇒ log10{(x + y)/4} = (1/2)log10(xy)
⇒ log10{(x + y)/4} = log10(xy)(1/2)
⇒ (x + y)/4 = (xy)(1/2)
⇒ {(x + y)/4}2 = {(xy)(1/2)}2
⇒(x + y)2/16 = xy
⇒ x2 + 2xy + y2 = 16xy
⇒ x2 + y2 = 16xy - 2xy
⇒ x2 + y2 = 14xy
⇒ (x2/xy) + (y2/xy) = 14
∴ (x/y) + (y/x) = 14

Question: Two similar triangles have areas in the ratio 4 : 9. If the perimeter of the smaller triangle is 20, what is the perimeter of the larger triangle?

Solution: 
Given that, 
Two similar triangles
Areas ratio = 4 : 9
Perimeter of smaller triangle = 20

For similar triangles, the ratio of areas = square of the ratio of corresponding sides.
(Area of larger/Area of smaller) ​=(side of larger/side of smaller​)2
⇒ (9/4) = (k/1)2 ; [Let the ratio of sides = k : 1 (larger : smaller)]
⇒ k2 = 9/4
∴ k = 3/2

∴ Perimeter of larger : Perimeter of smaller = 3 : 2

∴ Perimeter of larger = 20 × (3/2) = 30 ; [Perimeter of smaller = 20]

So the perimeter of the larger triangle is 30.

Question: A number reduced by 30% becomes 280. What percent should it be increased so that it becomes 500?

Solution:
Let, the number be x

Now, x - 30% of x = 280
⇒ x - (30x/100) = 280
⇒ (100x - 30x)/100 = 280
⇒  70x/100 = 280
⇒ 70x = (280 × 100)
⇒ x = (280 × 100)/70
⇒ x = 400

Required increase = 500 - 400 = 100
∴ Increase % = (100/400) × 100%
= 25%

Let, the area of larger part = x hector
∴ area of smaller part = (700 - x) hectors
The difference between the areas of the two parts
= x - (700 - x)
= 2x - 700
One-fifth of the average of the two areas
(1/5) × (700/2) [total area = 700]
= 70
Given that difference of the areas of the two parts = one-fifth of the average of the two areas
2x−700 = 70
⇒ 2x = 770
⇒ x = 385.

∴ Smaller part of the land is = (700 - 385) = 315 hectares.

Question: A fruit seller sells 20 apples for Tk. 900 and suffers a loss equal to the cost price of 5 apples. Find the cost price of one apple.

Solution:
Let,
cost price of 1 apple is = Tk. x
∴ cost price of 20 apples is = Tk. 20x
∴ cost price of 5 apples is = Tk. 5x

We know,
Cost price - Selling price = Loss
20x - 900 = 5x
⇒ 20x - 5x = 900
⇒ 15x = 900
⇒ x = 900/15
∴ x = 60

∴ Cost price of 1 apple is Tk. 60

Question: The monthly income of a person was Tk. 13500 and his monthly expenditure was Tk. 9000. Next year, his income increased by 14% and his expenditure by 7%. Find the percentage increase in his savings.

Solution:
Savings before increased income = Tk. (13500 - 9000)
= Tk. 4500

Increased income = 114% of 13500 = Tk. (114/100) × 13500
= Tk. 15390

Increased expenditure = 107% of 9000 = Tk. (107/100) × 9000
= Tk. 9630

Saving after Increased income = Tk. (15390 - 9630) = Tk. 5760

Increased Savings = Tk. (5760 - 4500)
= Tk. 1260

∴ Increase % in savings = (1260/4500) × 100 % 
= 28%

So, n(P∩C) = 12
Similarly, n(C∩M) = 3,
n(P∩M) = 8
and n(P∩C∩M)=1

∴n(P∪C∪M) = n(P) + n(C) + n(M) − n(P∩C) − n(C∩M) − n(P∩M) + n(P∩C∩M)
= 60 + 24 + 17 − (12 + 3 +8) + 1
= 79

∴ Number of students who opt for none of the subjects =120 − 79 = 41

Question: A sum of 20,000 Taka is invested at 8% per annum. If the interest is compounded quarterly, what is the amount after 9 months?

Solution:
এখানে, আসল (P) = 20,000 টাকা
বার্ষিক সুদের হার = 8%
সময় = 9 মাস
যেহেতু সুদ ত্রৈমাসিক (quarterly) ভিত্তিতে গণনা করা হয়,
∴ ত্রৈমাসিক সুদের হার = 8% ÷ 4 = 2%
9 মাসে চক্রবৃদ্ধির সংখ্যা = 9 মাস ÷ 3 মাস = 3 বার

প্রথম ত্রৈমাসিক:
সুদ =  (20,000 এর 2%) = 400 টাকা
নতুন মূল = 20,000 + 400
= 20,400 টাকা

দ্বিতীয় ত্রৈমাসিক:
সুদ = (20,400 এর 2%) = 408 টাকা
নতুন মূল = 20,400 + 408
= 20,808 টাকা

তৃতীয় ত্রৈমাসিক:
সুদ = (20,808 এর 2%) = 416.16 টাকা
নতুন মূল = 20,808 + 416.16
= 21,224.16 টাকা

∴ 9 মাস পর চক্রবৃদ্ধি মূল হবে 21,224.16 টাকা।

Question: The present age of a mother is 3 years more than three times the age of her daughter. Three years hence, the mother’s age will be 10 years more than twice the age of the daughter. Find the present age of the mother.

Solution: 
Let the daughter’s present age be ‘n’ years.
∴ Mother’s present age = (3n + 3) years

So, according to the question
(3n + 3 + 3) = 2 (n + 3) + 10
⇒ 3n + 6 = 2n + 16
⇒ n = 10

Hence, mother’s present age = (3n + 3) = ((3 × 10) + 3) years = 33 years

Solution:
Given,
ratio of one of the equal sides to the base is 5:3
Therefore, the sides are 5x, 3x, 5x.

78 cm piece of wire is bent to form an isosceles triangle.
Thus perimeter of triangle is 78 cm.
Therefore, 5x + 3x + 5x = 13x

Question: A policeman sighted a robber from a distance of 300 m. The robber also noticed the policeman and started running at 8 km/hr. The policeman also started running after him at the speed of 10 km/hr. Find the distance that the robber would run before being caught.

Solution:
Since both are running in the same direction, relative speed = 10 - 8 = 2 km/hr 
Now, to catch the robber if he were stagnant, the policeman would have to run 300 m. But since both are moving, the policeman needs to finish off this separation of 300 m. 
= 300 m (or 0.3 km)is to be covered at the relative speed of 2 km/hr. 

∴ Time taken = 0.3/2 = 0.15 hours

Therefore, distance run by robber before being caught = 8 × 0.15 = 1.2 km

Solution:
ট্যাংকটি ২/৫ পূর্ণ
পাইপ A,
৬ মিনিটে ভর্তি করতে পারে ১ অংশ
∴ ১ মিনিটে ভর্তি করে ১/৬​ অংশ
আবার,
পাইপ B,
১০ মিনিটে খালি করতে পারে ১ অংশ
∴ ১ মিনিটে খালি করতে পারে ১/১০ অংশ

একসাথে কাজ করার হার = (১/৬​) - (১/১০) = ২/৩০ = ১/১৫ অংশ
অর্থাৎ, একসাথে কাজ করলে প্রতি মিনিটে ট্যাংকের ১/১৫ অংশ ভর্তি হয়।

∴  ট্যাংকটি বাকি থাকে = ১ - (২/৫) = ৩/৫ অংশ

∴ ৩/৫ অংশ ভর্তি হতে সময় লাগে = (১/১৫) × (৫/৩) = ১/৯ মিনিট

∴ ১ বা সম্পূর্ণ অংশ ভর্তি হতে সময় লাগে = ৯ মিনিট

Solution:
Let us convert Initial time and Final time in seconds.
Intial time = 1hr 54min 50s = 1 × 60 × 60 + 54 × 60 + 50 = 3600 + 3240 + 50 = 6890 sec.
Final Time = 3hr 17min 49s = 3 × 60 × 60 + 17 × 60 + 49 = 10800 + 1020 + 49 = 11869sec
 
Total Time interval for which light was seen
= 11869 - 6890 = 4979
 
Time interval at which light seen = 13 sec.
Therefore no. Of time light was seen = 4979/13 = 383

With the light seen first time no. Of time light was seen = 383 + 1 = 384

Question: Two trains of equal length are running on parallel lines in the same direction at 46 km and 36 km per hour. The faster train passes the slower train in 36 seconds. The length of each train is-

Solution:
To cross each other, two trains have to cover a distance equal to the sum of the lengths of the train.
Let the length of the trains be = a m each.

So the distance to be covered = 2a
Now the trains are running int he same direction.
∴ Their relative speed = (46 - 36) km/hr.
= 10km/hr. = 10 × (5/18) km/hr. = (25/9) m/sec.

So, the time taken by the trains to cove 2a m distance
= 2a ÷ (25/9) sec

∴ By the given conditions,
2a ÷ (25/9) = 36
⇒ 2a × (9/25) = 36
⇒ 2a = (36 × 25)/9
⇒ 2a = 100
∴ a = 50

So, the length of each train = 50 m.

Question: A trader, while selling a shirt, was asking for such a price that would enable him to offer a 20% discount and still make a profit of 25% on cost. If the cost of the shirt was Tk. 400, what was his asking price?

Solution:
প্রথম ধাপে, 25% লাভে শার্টটির বিক্রয় মূল্য নির্ণয় করতে হবে।
ক্রয়মূল্য = 400 টাকা
বিক্রয়মূল্য = ক্রয়মূল্য + ক্রয়মূল্যের 25%
= 400 + (400 × 25/100) = 400 + 100 = 500 টাকা

এখন, দ্বিতীয় ধাপে, 20% ছাড়ের উপর ভিত্তি করে ধার্য মূল্য নির্ণয় করতে হবে।
যদি ধার্য মূল্য 100 টাকা হয়,
তাহলে 20% ছাড়ে বিক্রয়মূল্য হবে 100 - 20 = 80 টাকা।

বিক্রয়মূল্য 80 টাকা হলে, ধার্য মূল্য = 100 টাকা
বিক্রয়মূল্য 1 টাকা হলে, ধার্য মূল্য = 100/80 টাকা
বিক্রয়মূল্য 500 টাকা হলে, ধার্য মূল্য = (100/80) × 500 = 625 টাকা
সুতরাং, শার্টটির ধার্য মূল্য ছিল 625 টাকা।

Question: If 12 men or 18 boys can make 360 baskets in 15 days, then how many baskets will be made by 10 men and 15 boys in 15 days?

Solution:
Here,
12 men = 18 boys
∴ 1 man = 18/12 boys
= 3/2 boys

∴ 10 men = (3/2) × 10 = 15 boys
∴ 10 men and 15 boys = 15 boys + 15 boys
= 30 boys

18 boys can make 360 baskets in 15 days
∴ 1 boy can make in 15 days = 360/18 = 20 baskets
∴ 30 boys can make in 15 days = 20 × 30 = 600 baskets

∴ 10 men and 15 boys can make 600 baskets.

Question: The sum of the first three of six consecutive integers is 30. Find the sum of the remaining three consecutive integers.

Solution:
Let the six consecutive integers are,
x, x + 1, x + 2, x + 3, x + 4, x + 5

The first three integers are,
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 3x + 3
Given that,
3x + 3 = 30
⇒ 3x = 27
⇒ x = 9

So, the six consecutive integers are,
9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
The remaining three (i.e., the last three) integers are, 12, 13, 14

So their sum is = 12 + 13 + 14 = 39

Question: I walk a certain distance and ride back taking a total time of 37 minutes. I could walk both way 55 minutes. How long would it take me to ride both ways?

Solution:
Walk + ride back = 37 minutes. ................. (1)
Walk + Walk = 55 minutes.
Or, 2 walk = 55 minutes.
Walk = 55/2 = 27.5 minutes. .......................(2)

Putting equation (2) in equation (1).
27.5 + ride back = 37
Or, Ride back = 37 - 27.5 = 9.5.
∴ 2 × ride back = 9.5 × 2 = 19 minutes

Question: The sum of seven consecutive odd numbers exceeds four times the largest by 15. Find the average of average of these numbers.

Solution:
Let the seven consecutive odd numbers be centered at n,
n - 6, n - 4, n - 2, n, n + 2, n + 4, n + 6

Sum of these consecutive odd numbers = n - 6 + n - 4 + n - 2 + n + n + 2 + n + 4 + n + 6 = 7n
And largest number = n + 6

ATQ,
7n = 4(n + 6) + 15
⇒ 7n = 4n + 24 + 15
⇒ 7n - 4n = 39
⇒ 3n = 39
∴ n = 13

∴ Average = 7n/7 = n = 13
