Three pipes A, B, and C can fill the tank in 10 hours, 20 hours and 40 hours respectively. In the beginning all of them are opened simultaneously. After 2 hours, tap C is closed and A and B are kept running. After the 4th hour, tap B is also closed. The remaining work is done by tap A alone. What is the percentage of the work done by tap A alone?

ব্যাখ্যা

Pipe A's work in % = 100/10 = 10%
Pipe B's work in % = 100/20 = 5%
Pipe C's work in % = 100/40 = 2.5%
All of them are opened for 2 hours + after 2 hours,
tap C is closed + After the 4th hour, tap B is also closed = 100

According to the question,
(10 + 5 + 2.5) × 2 + (10 + 5) × 2 + work by tap A alone = 100
⇒ 17.5 × 2 + 15 × 2 + work by tap A alone = 100
⇒ 35 + 30 + work by tap A alone = 100
⇒ work by tap A alone = 100 - 65 = 35%.

Question: Two trains, each 100 meters long, are running on parallel tracks in opposite directions. If their speeds are 72 km/h and 54 km/h, how long will it take them to cross each other completely?

Solution: 
Train 1 length = 100 meters
Train 2 length = 100 meters
Total distance = (100 + 100) = 200 meters

Speed of Train 1 = 72 km/h = 72 × (5/18) m/s = 20 m/s
Speed of Train 2 = 54 km/h = 54 × (5/18) m/s = 15 m/s

Relative speed = (20 + 15) = 35 m/s

Time = (200/35) = 5.71 seconds
= 5.7 seconds

Question: If ABC and PQR are similar triangles in which ∠A = 46° and ∠B = 82°, then ∠C is: 

Solution:
Since ΔABC and ΔPQR are similar triangles.
Then, ∠B = ∠Q = 82° [জ্যামিতির নিয়ম অনুযায়ী, দুটি ত্রিভুজ সদৃশ হলে তাদের অনুরূপ কোণগুলো সমান হয়।]

 আমরা জানি, কোনো ত্রিভুজের তিনটি কোণের সমষ্টি 180°। অর্থাৎ, ΔABC-এর ক্ষেত্রে, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°।

Thus, in ∆ABC, 
∠C= 180° - (∠A + ∠ B) 
or, ∠C= 180° - (46° + 82°) 
∴ ∠C = 52°

∴ The current age of the father is 4x years 

ATQ,
4x + 8 = (5/2)(x + 8)
⇒ 8x + 16 = 5x + 40
⇒ 3x = 24
∴ x = 8

∴ The current age of the father is (4 × 8) years
= 32 years

Question: A natural number n is such that 120 ≤ n ≤ 240. If HCF of n and 240 is 1, how many values of n are possible?

Solution:
240 = 24 × 3 × 5, Therefore n must not be multiple of 2, 3 or 5

Lets calculate the number of multiples of 2,3 & 5 and subtract from total
Number of multiples of, 2 from 120 to 240 (both inclusive) = [{240 - 120}/2] + 1 = 61
3 from 120 to 240 (both inclusive) =[{240 - 120}/]3 + 1 = 41
5 from 120 to 240 (both inclusive) =[{240 - 120}/5] + 1 = 25

Multiples common to 2 & 3, 2 & 5, 3 & 5  twice. The same needs to be subtracted
6 from 120 to 240 (both inclusive) = [{240 - 120}/6] + 1 = 21
10 from 120 to 240 (both inclusive) = [{240 - 120}/10] + 1 = 13
15 from 120 to 240 (both inclusive) = [{240 - 120}/15] + 1 = 9

We need to add the multiple of 2 & 3 & 5 once as the subtraction of cases 2 & 3, 3 & 5, 2 & 5 from 2, 3 & 5 removes all the cases of 2 & 3 & 5.
30 from 120 to 240 (both inclusive) = [{240 - 120}/30] + 1 = 5

Total number of multiples of 2, 3 or 5 from 120 to 240 = 61 + 41 + 25 - 21 - 13 - 9 + 5 = 89
Possible values of n = 121 - 89 = 32

Question : The profit-principal of some principal is Tk. 8,000 in 3 years. If the profit is 3/5 part of the principal, find the rate of profit ?

Solution :
Given,
The profit-principal A = Tk. 8000
Time n = 3 years

Let,
the principal = P
So the profit = (3/5 × P)
= 3P/5

We know
Principal + profit = profit-principal
⇒ P + (3P/5) = 8000
⇒ 8P/5 = 8000
⇒ 8P = 8000 × 5
⇒ 8P = 40000
⇒ P = 40000/8
∴ P = 5000

So the principal P = Tk. 5000

∴ the profit I = (3/5 × 5000)
= Tk. 3000

We know,
r = (I × 100) ÷ Pn
= (3000 × 100) ÷ (5000 × 3 )
= 300000 ÷ 15000
= 20%

Question: A cube has a total surface area of 150 square units. What is the volume of the cube?

Solution: 
Given that, 
Total surface area of a cube, S = 150 square units.

We know,
Surface area of a cube, S = 6a2
⇒ 6a2 = 150
⇒ a2 = 150/6
⇒ a2 = 25 
⇒ a2 = 52
∴ a = 5

And we know,
Volume of a cube, V = a3
= 53
= 125

So the volume of the cube is 125 cubic units.

Solution:
We have (log2x)2 - log2x4 - 32 = 0.
⇒ (log2x)2 - 4log2x - 32 = 0 ......(1)
Let log2x = y
(i) ⇒ y2 - 4y - 32 = 0
⇒ y2 - 8y + 4y - 32 = 0
⇒ y(y - 8) + 4(y - 8) = 0
⇒ (y - 8)(y + 4) = 0
⇒ y = 8, - 4
⇒ log2x = 8 or log2x = - 4
⇒ x = 28 = 256 or x = 2- 4 = 1/16
Since ‘x’ is an integer so x = 256.

Question: A number when divided by a divisor leaves a remainder of 24. When twice the original number is divided by the same divisor, the remainder is 11. What is the value of the divisor?

Solution:
Let the original number be 'a'.
Let the divisor be 'd'.
Let the quotient of dividing 'a' by 'd' be 'x'.
and the remainder is 24.
∴ a = dx + 24
⇒ 2a = 2(dx + 24) 
⇒ 2a = 2dx + 48

Twice the original number is divided by 'd' means 2a is divided by d.
When (2dx + 48) is divided by 'd' the remainder is 11.
2dx is divisible by 'd' and will therefore, not leave a remainder.
The remainder of 11 would be the remainder of dividing 48 by d.

The question essentially becomes "What number will leave a remainder of 11 when it divides 48?"
When 37 divides 48, the remainder is 11.

Hence, the divisor is 37.

Let average of 17 innings = x
Total runs scored in 17 innings = 17x
Average of 16 innings = (x - 3)
Total runs scored in 16 innings = 16 (x -3)
Total runs scored in 16 innings + 87 = Total runs scored in 17 innings
⇒ 16(x - 3) + 87 = 17x
⇒ 16x - 48 + 87 = 17x
⇒ x = 39.

Question : At what rate percent per annum will a sum of Tk. 15,625 amount to Tk. 21,952 in three years, if the interest is compounded annually?

Solution :
Given,
Principal P = Tk. 15,625
Amount  C = Rs. 21,952
Time n = 3 years
Rate of Interest  = r%
= r/100

Compound interest when compounded annually is:
C = P (1 + r / 100)n
⇒ 21,952 = 15,625 (1 + r / 100)3
⇒ 21,952 / 15,625 = (1 + r/100)3
⇒ (1 + r/100)3 = 1.404928
⇒ (1 + r/100) = 3√1.404928  [ taking the cube root on both sides ]​
⇒ (1 + r/100) ≈ 1.12
⇒ r/100  = 1.12 - 1
⇒ r/100  = 0.12
⇒ r = 0.12 × 100
∴ r = 12

Question: If 2/3 of X = 75% of Y = 0.4 of Z, then find the ratio X : Y : Z.

Solution:
According to the question,
(2/3) × X = 75% of Y
⇒ 2X/3 = 75Y/100
⇒ 2X/3 = 3Y/4
⇒ X/Y = 9/8

Now,
75% of Y = 0.4 of Z
⇒(75Y/100) = (2Z/5)
⇒ (3Y/4) = (2Z/5)
⇒ 15Y = 8Z
⇒ Y/Z = 8/15

X : Y : Z = (9/8) : 1 : (15/8)
Multiply all terms by 8:
X = 9 × 1 = 9
Y = 1 × 8 = 8
Z = (15/8) × 8 = 15

Therefore,
X : Y : Z = 9 : 8 : 15

Question: Eight year ago, Shanta's age was equal to the sum of the present ages of her one son and one daughter. Five years hence, the respective ratio between the ages of her daughter and her son that time will be 7 : 6. If Shanta's husband is 7 years elder to her and his present age is three times the present age of their son, what is the present age of the daughter ? (in year)

Solution:
Let, the age of the son and the daughter of Shanta be 6a years and 7a years respectively.
5 years hence, present age of son = (6a - 5)
and present age of daughter = (7a - 5)

Eight years ago, the age of Shanta = (6a - 5 + 7a - 5) = 13a - 10
So, present age of Shanta = (13a - 10 + 8) = 13a - 2
Since, present age of Shanta's husband = 3(6a - 5)

The difference of present age of Shanta's husband and Shanta = 7 (Given)

ATQ,
3(6a - 5) - (13a - 2) = 7
⇒ 18a - 15 - 13a + 2 = 7
⇒ 5a = 20

∴ The present age of daughter = (7a - 5)
= 7 × 4 - 5
= 23 years

Question: The ratio of income in two consecutive years is 2 : 3 respectively. The ratio of their expenditure is 5 : 9. Income of second-year is Tk. 45000 and Expenditure of first-year is Tk. 25000. Find the Savings in both years together.

Solution:
Let the First-year income = 2x
And, Second-year income = 3x
But ATQ, the second-year income = 45000
So, x = 45000/3 = 15000
Then, first-year income = 2 × 15000 = 30000

Similarly,
Let the first-year expenditure = 5y
And, second-year expenditure = 9y
But ATQ, the first-year expenditure = 25000
So, y = 25000/5 = 5000
Second-year expenditure = 9y = 9 × 5000 = 45000

Income = expenditure + savings
Or, savings = income - expenditure

∴ first-year savings = 30000 - 25000 = 5000
Similarly,
Second-year savings = 45000 - 45000 = 0

Now, total saving in two years = first-year savings + second-year savings
= 5000 + 0 = 5000.

1 ঘণ্টা = 60 × 60 = 3600 সেকেন্ড

∴ 3600 সেকেন্ড যায় = 72000 মিটার
3600 সেকেন্ড যায় = 72000/3600 মিটার
45 সেকেন্ড যায় = {(72000 × 45)/3600} = 900 মিটার

ধরি, ট্রেনের দৈর্ঘ্য = x

Question: The vessels containing water and milk in the ratio of 1 : 2 and 2 : 5 are mixed is 1 : 4 then what will be the resulting ratio?

Solution:
We can create the following ratios:
Vessel 1: water : milk = x : 2x
Vessel 2: water : milk = 2y : 5y

We can create the equation:
(x + 2x)/(2y + 5y) = 1/4
3x/7y = 1/4
12x = 7y

We see that we can let x = 7 and y = 12.
So we have:
Vessel 1: water = 7 and milk = 14
Vessel 2: water = 24 and milk = 60

Therefore, in the final mixture, the ratio of water to milk is:
(7 + 24)/(14 + 60) = 31/74

Let the cost of 1 litre of milk be Tk.100.
He gains 25% profit if he sells the same milk at Tk.125.

Now he has to sell 1.25 litres of milk at Tk.125 (as the price of milk should be proportional to the quantity).
To accommodate for the additional 250 ml of milk, he uses water.

So, 250 ml of water is used in 1.25 litres of the mixture.
∴ Percentage of water in mixture = (.25/1.25) × 100 = 20%
 
Alternative Method:
Let C.P. of 1 litre milk be Tk.1
Then, S.P. of 1 litre of mixture = Tk.1, Gain = 25%
C.P. of 1 litre mixture = Tk. (100/125×1) = 4/5

By the rule of allegation, we have:
 
∴ Ratio of milk to water = 4/5 : 1/5 = 4 : 1
Hence, percentage of water in the mixture = (1/5×100)% = 20%

Solution:
শ্রমিকের নিয়মিত বেতন (8 ঘণ্টার জন্য) = 8 ঘণ্টা × 30 টাকা/ঘণ্টা = 240 টাকা।

শ্রমিকের অতিরিক্ত কাজের (ওভারটাইম) আয় = 330 টাকা - 240 টাকা
= 90 টাকা।

শ্রমিকের প্রতি ঘণ্টার ওভারটাইম বেতন = 30 টাকা × 1.5 = 45 টাকা।

শ্রমিকের ওভারটাইম কাজের সময় = 90 টাকা ÷ 45 টাকা/ঘণ্টা
= 2 ঘণ্টা।

শ্রমিকের মোট কাজের সময় = 8 ঘণ্টা (নিয়মিত) + 2 ঘণ্টা (ওভারটাইম)

Question: A merchant sells one table for Tk. 1200 at a profit of 25% and another for Tk. 1500 at a loss of 10%. His total gain or loss percentage is-

Solution:
C.P. of 1st table = Tk.(100 × 1200)/125 = Tk. 960
C.P. of 2nd table = Tk.(100 × 1500)/90 = Tk. 1667
So, total C.P. = Tk.(960 + 1667) = Tk. 2627
Total S.P. = Tk.(1200 + 1500) = Tk. 2700

∴ Gain% = {(2700 - 2627) × 100}/2627%
= (73 × 100)/2627%
= 2.78%

Question: Abir scored 30% marks and failed by 15 marks. Sunny scored 40% marks and obtained 35 marks more than those required to pass. The pass percentage is-

Solution: 
Let, total mark is x 

Now
0.3x + 15 = 0.4x - 35 
⇒ 0.4x - 0.3x = 35 + 15 
⇒ 0.1x = 50 
⇒ x = 50/0.1
∴ x = 500 

Pass mark = 0.3 × 500 + 15
= 150 + 15
= 165

Pass percentage = (165/500) × 100% 
= 33%

সমাধান:
০.৮ কেজির বিক্রয় মূল্য = ২৩ টাকা

এখন,
১ কেজির বিক্রয় মূল্য = ২৩/০.৮ টাকা
= ১১৫/৪ টাকা
= ২৮.৭৫ টাকা

∴ শতকরা লাভ = {(২৮.৭৫ - ২৫)/২৫} × ১০০%
= (৩.৭৫/২৫) × ১০০%
= ১৫%

Question: A boat's speed with the current is 17 km/hr and the speed of the current is 3.5 km/hr. What is the boat's speed against the current?

Solution:
Given that, 
Boat's speed with the current = 17 km/hr
Speed of the current = 3.5 km/hr

∴ Boat's speed in still water = speed with the current - speed of the current
= (17 - 3.5) km/hr
= 13.5 km/hr

∴ Boat's speed against the current = speed in still water - speed of the current
= (13.5 - 3.5) km/hr
= 10 km/hr

Therefore, the boat's speed against the current is 10 km/hr.

Question: Two trains are running in the same direction at 90 km/h and 60 km/h. The faster train crosses a man in the slower train in 18 seconds. What is the length of the faster train?

Solution:
Relative speed of train = (90 - 60) km/h
= 30 km/h
= (30 × 1000)/3600
= 25/3 m/s

∴ Distance covered = Speed × Time
= (25/3) × 18
= 150 meters

To overtake the person, the train has to travel a distance equal only to its own length.

So, Length of faster train = Distance covered = 150 meters.

Question: A sum of Tk. 4000 amounts to Tk. 4840 in 2 years at compound interest. Find the rate of interest per annum.

Solution:
Here, Principal, P = 4000 Tk.
Final amount, A = 4840 Tk.
Time, n = 2 years
Interest rate, r = ?

Now,
A = P × (1 + r/100)n
⇒ 4840 = 4000 × (1 + r/100)2
⇒ (1 + r/100)2 = 4840/4000
⇒ (1 + r/100)2 = 121/100
⇒ 1 + r/100 = √(121/100)
⇒ 1 + r/100 = 11/10
⇒ r/100 = 11/10 - 1
⇒ r/100 = 1/10
⇒ r = (1/10) × 100
⇒ r = 10

∴ The annual rate of interest is 10%.
