Question: An integer n between 1 and 100, inclusive, is to be chosen at random. What is the probability that n(n+1) will be divisible by 5?

Solution: 
total number = 100
n(n+1) will be divisible by 5 if n or n + 1 is divisible by 5

when n is divisible by 5, there are 20 such number (5, 10, 15, 20, 25,.....,100)
when n + 1 is divisible by 5, there are 20 such number (4, 9, 14,.....,99)

∴ proability = (20 + 20)/100
= 40/100
= 2/5

Question: The average age of all the students in a driving class is 22 years. The average age of the boys is 24 years and that of the girls is 18 years. If there are 15 girls in the class, find the number of boys.

Solution:
Let the number of boys in the class be x.

According to the question,
22 × (x + 15) = 24x + (18 × 15)
⇒ 22x + 330 = 24x + 270
⇒ 24x + 270 = 22x + 330
⇒ 24x - 22x = 330 - 270
⇒ 2x = 60
⇒ x = 30

∴ The number of boys in the class is 30.

Question: Kamal and Rajon enter into a partnership with their capitals in the ratio 5 : 6. At the end of 6 months Kamal withdraws her capital. If they receive the profit in the ratio of 5 : 9, find how long was Rajon's capital used?

Solution: 
Let,
Kamal invested Tk. 5x for 6 months
And
Rajon invested Tk. 6x for y months
Then,
(5x × 6)/(6x × y) = 5/9
⇒ 30x/6xy = 5/9
⇒ 5/y = 5/9
∴ y = 9

So Rajon capital was used for 9 months

Question: Kalam buys an article at a discount of 25%. At what percentage above the cost price should he sell it to make a profit of 25% over the original list price?

Solution: 
Let, the original price is 100 taka
Buying price = 100 - 25
= 75 taka 

To make 25% over original price = 100 + 25
= 125 taka 

percentage above the cost price = {(125 - 75)/75} × 100%
= (50/75) × 100%
= (2/3) × 100%
= 66.67%

Question: In a school, there are 55% students play Cricket, 50% students play Hockey and 25% students play both games. The difference between the number of students who play both games and the number of students who do not play any games is 40. Find the number of students who play only one game.

Solution:
Total number of students in a school be N.
Total number of students who play only Cricket = (55/100 - 25/100)N
= 30N/100

Total number of students who play only Hockey = (50/100 - 25/100)N
= 25N/100

Total number of students who do not play any Game = N - 30N/100 - 25N/100 - 25N/100
= 20N/100

ATQ,
25N/100 - 20N/100 = 40
⇒ 5N/100 = 40
⇒ N = (40 × 100)/5
∴ N = 800

Total number of students who play only one game = 30N/100 + 25N/100
= 55N/100
= (55 × 800)/100
= 440

Question: The sum of three consecutive odd integers is 48 more than the last of the numbers. What is the middle number?

Solution:
Let the first odd number be x
∴ 2nd odd number is x + 2
∴ 3rd odd number is x + 4

According to the question,
Sum of the odd numbers = (x + 4) + 48

The equation,
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = (x + 4) + 48
⇒ 3x + 6 = x + 4 + 48
⇒ 3x + 6 = x + 52
⇒ 3x - x = 52 - 6
⇒ 2x = 46
⇒ x = 46/2
⇒ x = 23

First number is 23
The second number is 25
The third number is 27

∴ The middle number is 25

Question: If the price of sugar increases by 10%, by what percentage a housewife should reduce the consumption of sugar so that expense is not increased?

Solution:
Let the price be Tk. x per kg
Consumption be y kg

Expenditure = price × consumption
⇒ Expenditure = x × y

Price of sugar is increased by 10%
New price of sugar = Tk. 1.1x per kg

Let new consumption be z kg
New Expenditure = (1.1x) × z

New Expenditure = old Expenditure
⇒ (1.1x) × z = x × y
⇒ z = y/1.1

Reduction in consumption = (y - z) = y - y/1.1 = y/11

Percentage reduction in consumption = (reduction in consumption/original consumption)× 100
Percentage reduction in consumption = [(y/11)/y] × 100 = 100/11 = 9.09% ≈ 9.1%

Solution:
Let, at present son is x years old
so, at the time of his birth, the father was x years old
 
∴ at present the age of the father is = (x + x) year
= 2x years

Now,
2x = 38
⇒ x = 38/2
∴ x = 19 years
 
∴ The son's age five years back was = 19 - 6

Question: 25% of Rasel's yearly income is equal to 75% of Aman's monthly income. If Aman's yearly income is 240000 taka. What is Rasel's monthly income? 

Solution: 
Aman's yearly income is 240000 taka
Aman's monthly income is 240000/12 taka
= 20000 taka 

75% of Aman's monthly income = 0.75 × 20000 = 15000 taka

25% of Rasel's yearly income = 15000 
Rasel's yearly income = 15000 × 4 = 60000 taka 

∴ Rasel's monthly income = 60000/12 = Tk. 5000

If the ages of captain and wicketkeeper are excluded, the average age of the remaining players of the team is one year less than the average age of the whole team. What is the average age of the team?

Solution:
Let the average age of the whole team by x years.
Total age of the whole team 11x years
Age of the captain 26 years
Age of the wiket-keeper 26 + 3 = 29 years

The average age of the remaining players after excluding the ages of captain and wicketkeeper = x - 1
∴ Total age of the players without the ages of captain and wicketkeeper = 9(x - 1)

We can say,
11x - (26 + 29) = 9(x - 1)
⇒ 11x - 55 = 9x - 9
⇒ 11x - 9x = - 9 + 55
⇒ 2x = 46
∴ x = 23 Years.

Question: A fruit seller had some bananas. He sells 40% bananas and still has 420 bananas. Originally, he had how many bananas?

Solution:
Suppose originally he had x bananas.

ATQ,
(100 - 40)% of x = 420
⇒ 60% of x = 420
⇒ 60x/100 = 420
⇒ 60x = 42000
⇒ x = 42000/60
∴ x = 700

Originally he had 700 pcs bananas.

Question: An investor earns 3% return on (1/4)th of his capital, 5% on (2/3)rd and 11% on the reminder. What is the average rate of return he earns on his total capital?

Solution: 
Let, the capital be x taka 

Earns on 3% rate = (x/4) × 3/100 = 3x/400 
Earns on 5% interest = (2x/3) × 5/100 = x/30 

Remainder = x - (x/4) - (2x/3) 
= x{1 - (11/12)}
= x/12

Earns on 11% interest = (x/12) × (11/100)
= 11x/1200

Total return = (3x/400) + (x/30) + (11x/1200)
= (9x + 40x + 11x)/1200
= 60x/1200 
= x/20 

The average rate of return he earns on his total capital = {(x/20)/x} × 100% 
= 5%

Question: A person borrows Rs. 5000 for 2 years at 4% p.a. simple interest. He immediately lends it to another person at 6% p.a compound interest for 2 years. Find his total gain in the transaction.

Solution:
Given,
P = Tk. 5000
n = 2 years
r = 4% = 4/100 = 1/25

So the simple interest = 5000 × (1/25) × 2
= Tk. 400

Again,
compound interest rate r = 6% = 6/100 = 3/50

So,
The compound interest = P(1 + r)n - P
= 5000(1 + 3/50)2 - 5000
= {5000 × (53/50)2} - 5000
= (5000 × 2809/2500) - 5000
= 5618 - 5000
= 618

So the total gain in the transaction = (618 - 400)
= Tk. 218

Question: There are 3 white ball, 4 green ball and 5 orange colour balls in a bag. If a ball is picked at random, what is the probability of having either a green or a orange balls?

Solution:
Here, total number of balls = (3 + 4 + 5) = 12

The probability of getting a green ball = 4/12
The probability of getting a orange ball = 5/12

∴ The probability of getting either green or a orange ball = (4/12) + (5/12)
= (4 + 5)/12
= 9/12
= 3/4

Question: ABCD is a rhombus. AB = 3x - 2, AC = 4x + 4, and BD = 2x. Find x.

Solution:
A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four sides of equal length. Rhombuses have diagonals that bisect each other at right angles.

Thus, we can consider the right triangle AED and use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x. From the problem:
AD = 3x - 2
BD = 2x
AC = 4x + 4

Because the diagonals bisect each other, we know:
ED = x
AE = 2x + 2

Using the Pythagorean Theorem,
a2 + b2 = c2
∴ AE2 + ED2 = AD2
⇒ (2x + 2)2 + (x)2 = (3x - 2)2
⇒ 4x2 + 8x + 4 + x2 = 9x2 - 12x + 4
⇒ 0 = 4x2 - 20x

Factoring,
0 = x and 0 = 4x - 20
The first solution is nonsensical for this problem. 
0 = 4x - 20
∴ x = 5

Question: Due to a 25% reduction in sugar price, a housewife can buy 5 extra kilograms for 600 Taka. Find the sugar’s original price per kg.

Solution:
Let original price per kg = p Taka
Reduced price = p - p of 25% = 0.75p
Original quantity for 600 Taka
Q₁ = 600/p kg

And
New quantity for 600 Taka
Q₂ = 600/0.75p = 800/p kg

Now, quantity difference,
Q₂ - Q₁ = 5
(800/p) - (600/p) = 5
200/p = 5
p = 200/5
p = 40 

∴ Original price per kg = Tk. 40

Question: The top and bottom of a flag on a building subtend angles of 60° and 30° respectively at a point B which is 48 meter away from the building. Find the height of the flag?

Solution:

Let height of building be AC = X and height of flag be CD = h.

In ΔDAB
tan60° = (X + h)/48
⇒ √3 = (X + h)/48
⇒ X + h = 48√3
∴ h = 48√3 - X ..................(1)

In ΔCAB
tan30° = X/48
⇒ 1/√3 = X/48
∴ X = 48/√3

From (1) we get,
h = 48√3 - 48/√3
= (48 × 3 - 48)/√3
= (144 - 48)/√3
= 96/√3
= (32 × 3)/√3
= 32√3

Question: Age of Kamal will be 4 times the age of Rina in 6 years from today. If ages of Kamal and Mahi are 7 times and 6 times the age of Rina respectively, what is present age of Kamal?

Solution:
Let,
Rina's present age = R years
Then,
Kamal's present age = 7 × R = 7R
Mahi's present age = 6 × R = 6R

Age of Kamal will be 4 times the age of Rina in 6 years.
Kamal’s age after 6 years = 7R +6
Rina’s age after 6 years = R + 6

ATQ,
7R + 6 = 4(R + 6)
⇒ 7R + 6 = 4R + 24
⇒ 7R - 4R = 18
⇒ R = 18/3
∴ R = 6

∴ Kamal's present age = 7 × R = 7R = 7 × 6 = 42 years

Solution:
দেওয়া আছে, হাসানের প্রাথমিক গতিবেগ = 24 কিমি/ঘন্টা

25% গতিবেগ বৃদ্ধি পেলে নতুন গতিবেগ হবে = 24 + (24 × 25%)
= 24 + 6 = 30 কিমি/ঘন্টা

মনে করি, বাড়ি থেকে অফিসের দূরত্ব x কিমি।
∴ প্রথম ক্ষেত্রে সময় লাগে = x/24 ঘন্টা
দ্বিতীয় ক্ষেত্রে সময় লাগে = x/30 ঘন্টা

সময়ের পার্থক্য = 5 মিনিট (দেরি) + 4 মিনিট (আগে) = 9 মিনিট
= 9/60 ঘণ্টা

প্রশ্নমতে,
(x/24) - (x/30) = 9/60
⇒ (5x - 4x) /120 = 3/20
⇒ x/120 = 3/20
⇒ x = (3 × 120)/20
⇒ x = 3 × 6
∴ x = 18

সুতরাং, তার বাড়ি থেকে অফিসের দূরত্ব 18 কিমি।

Question: When x is divided by 7, the remainder is 6. Which of the following must be an even number?

Solution:
Given that when x is divided by 7, the remainder is 6, we can express x as:
x = 7k + 6  where k is an integer.

Now, let's evaluate each option to see which, if any, must be an even number.

Option ক)
x + 6
x + 6 = (7k + 6) + 6 = 7k +12
Since 7k is odd or even depending on k, adding 12 (which is even) does not guarantee that x + 6 will be even.
Therefore, x + 6 is not necessarily even.

Option খ)
x2 + x
x2 + x = (7k+6)2 + (7k+6) Let's expand and simplify:
x2 + x = (49k2 + 84k + 36) + (7k + 6) = 49k2 + 91k + 42
All terms are multiples of 7, and 42 is an even number, making the entire expression even.
Thus, x2 + x  must be an even number.

Option গ)
x - 4
x - 4 = (7k + 6) - 4 = 7k + 2
This is not necessarily even because 7k + 2 depends on the parity of k.
Therefore, x - 4 is not necessarily even.

Conclusion:
The correct answer is খ) x2 + x

Question: A merchant has three different types of milk- 324 litres, 351 litres and 459 litres. Find the minimum number of casks of equal size that can store the milk without mixing.

Solution:
Since a minimum number of casks are required, the size of the cask is greatest.
Also the cask in three cases is of equal size. The size of the cask is the H.C.F. of 324 litres, 351 litres and 459 litres which is 27.

Now, the number of casks required for storing the milk = (324 + 351+ 459)/27 = 42.
