ধরি, f(x) = 3x² + ax + a +3
যেহেতু, x + 2 দ্বারা বিভাজ্য সেহেতু,
f(-2) = 0 হবে
⇒ 3(-2)2 + a(-2) + a + 3 = 0
⇒ 12 - 2a + a + 3 = 0
⇒ - a + 15 = 0
⇒ a = 15

Question: How many years will it take for an investment of Tk.5000 to earn Tk. 1200 in simple interest rate of 6%?

Solution: 
Given that,
Principal, P = 5000
Simple Interest, SI = 1200
Rate of interest, r = 6%
Time, n = ?

We know,
n = I/Pr
= 1200/(5000 × 6%)
= (1200 × 100)/(5000 × 6)
= 4

So, it will take 4 years for the investment to earn Tk. 1200 at 6% simple interest.

Solution:
ধরি,
বইয়ের পূর্বমূল্য = x টাকা 

x টাকায় পাওয়া যেতো = 1 টি বই
∴ 1 টাকায় পাওয়া যেতো = 1/x টি বই
∴ 1200 টাকায় পাওয়া যেতো = 1200/x টি বই 

আবার, বইয়ের মূল্য 5 টাকা বৃদ্ধি পাওয়ায় বর্তমান মূল্য = (x + 5) টাকা 

(x + 5) টাকায় পাওয়া যাবে = 1 টি বই
∴ 1 টাকায় পাওয়া যাবে = 1/(x + 5) টি বই
∴ 1200 টাকায় পাওয়া যাবে = 1200/(x + 5) টি বই 

প্রশ্নমতে,
(1200/x) - {1200/(x + 5)} = 20 
⇒ {1200(x + 5) - 1200x}/{x(x + 5)} = 20
⇒ {1200x + 6000 - 1200x}/(x2 + 5x) = 20
⇒ 6000/(x2 + 5x) = 20
⇒ x2 + 5x = 6000/20
⇒ x2 + 5x = 300
⇒ x2 + 5x - 300 = 0
⇒ x2 + 20x - 15x - 300 = 0
⇒ x(x + 20) - 15(x + 20) = 0
⇒ (x + 20)(x - 15) = 0
হয়, x + 20 = 0 অথবা, x - 15 = 0
x = - 20 অথবা, x = 15

কিন্তু x এর ঋণাত্মক মান গ্রহণযোগ্য নয়।
সুতরাং বইয়ের পূর্বমূল্য ছিলো = 15 টাকা

Question: If p is a positive integer, what is the smallest possible value of p such that 2160 × p is a perfect square?

Solution:
আমরা জানি, একটি সংখ্যা পূর্ণবর্গ হতে হলে এর মৌলিক গুণনীয়কের ঘাতসমূহ জোড় সংখ্যা হতে হবে।

2160 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5
= 24 × 33 × 51

2160p = 24 × 33 × 51 × p
এখানে, 2-এর ঘাত = 4 (জোড়), 3-এর ঘাত = 3 (বিজোড়), 5-এর ঘাত = 1 (বিজোড়)

পূর্ণবর্গ করতে হলে সব ঘাত জোড় হতে হবে।
তাই p = 3 × 5 = 15 হলে,

2160 × 15 = 24 × 33 × 51 × (3 × 5) = 24 × 34 × 52
যেহেতু সব মৌলিক উৎপাদকের ঘাত জোড়, তাই এটি একটি পূর্ণবর্গ সংখ্যা।

সুতরাং, p = 15 হলে, 2160 × p পূর্ণবর্গ সংখ্যা হয়।

Question: The ratio of present age Anik and Babul is 12 : 7 . After 3 years their ratio will be 30 : 20 then find the present age of Anik? 

Solution:
Let,
present age of Anik = 12x
and present age of Babul = 7x 

ATQ,
(12x + 3)/(7x + 3) = 30/20
⇒(12x + 3) × 20 = (7x + 3) × 30
⇒ 240x + 60 = 210x + 90 
⇒ 30x = 30
⇒ x = 1

∴ Present age of Anik = 12 × 1 years
= 12 years

Question: A worker earns Tk. 250 on the first day and spends Tk. 200 on the second day, earns Tk. 250 on the third day and again spends Tk. 200 on the fourth day and so on. On which day would he have had Tk. 1000?

Solution:
১ম দিনে আয় করে ২৫০ টাকা।
২য় দিনে ব্যয় করে ২০০ টাকা।

∴ ২ দিনে তার জমা থাকে (২৫০ - ২০০) = ৫০ টাকা।

এখন, (১০০০ - ২৫০) = ৭৫০ টাকা।

৫০ টাকা জমা থাকে ২ দিনে
১ টাকা জমা থাকে ২/৫০ দিনে
৭৫০  টাকা জমা থাকে (২ × ৭৫০)/৫০ দিনে
= ৩০ দিন।

৩০ দিন পর তার হাতে থাকে ৭৫০ টাকা
এবং ৩১ তম দিনে সে আয় করে ২৫০ টাকা।
তাহলে মোট টাকা হয় (৭৫০ + ২৫০) = ১০০০ টাকা,

সুতরাং ৩১ দিনে তার কাছে ১০০০ টাকা ছিল।

Let the ten's digit be x.
Then, the unit's digit = x + 2.
Number = 10x + (x + 2) = 11x + 2
Sum of digits = x + (x + 2) = 2x + 2.
⇒ (11x + 2)(2x + 2) = 144
⇒ 22x2 + 26x- 140 = 0
⇒ 11x2 + 13x - 70 = 0
⇒ (x - 2)(11x + 35) = 0
⇒ x = 2
Hence, Required Number = 11x + 2 = 24

Question: Given that a square and a rectangle share the same area, and the square’s perimeter is 32 meters, while the rectangle’s length is 4 meters, calculate the rectangle’s width.

Solution:
Given that,
Perimeter of square = 32 m
Area of rectangle = Area of square
And length of rectangle = 4 m

Now, 
Perimeter of square,
4s = 32
⇒ s = 32/4 = 8
∴ s = 8 m
∴ Area of square = s2 = 82 = 64 m2

 According to the Question,
Area of rectangle = Area of square
∴ Area of rectangle = 64 m2

∴ Area of rectangle = length × width
64 = 4 × w
⇒ w = 64/4
∴ w = 16 m

So the width of the rectangle = 16 meters

Question: The ratio of total surface area to curved surface area of a cone whose radius is 5cm and height 12 cm is :

Solution:
দেওয়া আছে,
কোণকের ব্যাসার্ধ, r = 5 cm
কোণকের উচ্চতা, h = 12 cm

এখন,কোণকের হেলানো উচ্চতা (slant height) বের করতে হবে।
কোণকের হেলানো উচ্চতা ((slant height), l = √(r2 + h2)
= √(52 + 122)
= √(25 + 144)
= √(169)
= 13 cm

  এখন, কোণকের সমগ্র পৃষ্ঠতলের ক্ষেত্রফল ও বক্রতলের ক্ষেত্রফলের অনুপাত নির্ণয় করি।
  সমগ্র পৃষ্ঠতলের ক্ষেত্রফল (total surface area) = πrl + πr2
  বক্রতলের ক্ষেত্রফল (curved surface area) = πrl

  অনুপাত = ( πrl + πr2 ) : ( πrl )
 =  πr(l + r) : πrl
= (l + r) : l   (উভয় পক্ষকে πr দ্বারা ভাগ করে)
= (13 + 5) : 13
= 18 : 13

∴ কোণকের সমগ্র পৃষ্ঠতলের ক্ষেত্রফল ও বক্রতলের ক্ষেত্রফলের অনুপাত = 18 : 13.

Question: Train A passes a lamp post in 3 seconds and 900 meter long platform in 30 seconds. How much time will the same train take to cross a platform which is 800 meters long? (in seconds)

Solution:
Let, the length of the train is = x m.
and its speed is = v. m/s.

∴ Distance = Speed × time [S = V × T]
x = v × 3 .........(i)
(x + 900) = v × 30 ........(ii)

Dividing the eqn. (i) by (ii)
x/(x + 900) = 1/10
⇒ 10x = x + 900
⇒ 9x = 900.
⇒ x = 900/9
⇒ x = 100 m.

putting x = 100 in eqn. (1).
100 = v × 3
⇒ v = 100/3 m/s.

Let, the train crosses a 800 m. long platform in t seconds.
(x + 800) = v × t .........(iii) [ S = V × T]
⇒ (100 + 800) = (100/3) × t  [putting x= 100  and v= 100/3]
⇒ 900 = (100/3) × t 
⇒ t = (900 × 3)/100
⇒ t = 2700/100
⇒ t = 27 seconds.

Solution:
1ম দিনে আয় = 300 টাকা
2য় দিনে ব্যয় = 150 টাকা
∴ প্রতি 2 দিনে জমা হয় = 300 - 150 = 150 টাকা

শুধু 1ম দিনে আয় করায় হাতে থাকে = 300 টাকা
অতএব, 1500 - 300 = 1200 টাকা আরও জমা করতে হবে।

150 টাকা জমা হয় 2 দিনে,
∴ 1200 টাকা জমা হয় = (2 × 1200)/150 = 16 দিনে

অর্থাৎ, 16 দিনের শেষে জমা থাকবে = 1200 টাকা

17-তম দিনে আবার আয় হবে = 300 টাকা
∴ মোট সঞ্চয় হবে = 1200 + 300 = 1500 টাকা

∴ 17-তম দিনে তার কাছে মোট 1500 টাকা জমা থাকবে।

Let work is done by Rizvi in 1 day = 1/R & Shafi in 1/S day
Both complete work in 24 days. So in 1 day, together they complete = 1/24 = 1/R + 1/S
For 20 days both work together, so work done by them = 20(1/R + 1/S) = 5/6
Remaining work = {1 - (5/6)= 1/6} is done by Rizvi alone in 6 days
Work done by Rizvi in 6 days = 1/6 = 6(1/R)
∴ R = 36 = days needed by Rizvi to complete the work alone

According to the question,
∴ (1/36) + 1/S = 1/24
1/S = (1/24) - (1/36)
1/S = (3 - 2)/72
1/S = 1/72
S = 72 days needed by Shafi to complete the work alone.

Question: The average of 10 numbers is 23. If each number is increased by 4, what will the new average be?
 
Solution:
Given,
Average of 10 numbers = 23
⇒ Sum/Total numbers = 23
⇒ Sum/10 = 23
∴ Sum of the 10 numbers = 230

If each number is increased by 4, the total increase = 4 × 10 = 40
New sum = 230 + 40 = 270

Therefore, the new average = 270/10 = 27

Question: Abir is paid an hourly wage totalling Tk 500 for 50 hours of work in a week. If his hourly wage increases by 20% and he decides to work 20% fewer hours each week, how much will Abir be paid in a week ? 

Solution: 
Here, 
Hourly wage = 500/50 = 10

The hourly wage increases by 20%; 
Then, the present hourly wage = 10 + (10 × 20%)
= 10 + [10 × (20/100)] 
= (10 + 2) Tk
= 12 Tk/hour

The work hour decreases by 20%;
Then, the present work hour = 50 - (50 × 20%)
= 50 - [50 × (20/100)]
= (50 - 10) hour
= 40 hour

∴ Present weekly income = 12 × 40 = 480 Tk.

Question: P and Q can do a work in 10 days, Q and R can do it in 15 days, and P and R can do it in 12 days. If all three work together, in how many days can they complete the work?

Solution:
P + Q can do in 1 day = 1/10 part
Q + R can do in 1 day = 1/15 part
P + R can do in 1 day = 1/12 part

∴ 2(P + Q + R) can do in 1 day = ((1/10) + (1/15) + (1/12))
= (6 + 4 + 5​)/60
= 15/60
= 1/4 part

∴ P + Q + R can do in 1 day = 1/(4 × 2) part = 1/8 part

∴ Total days needed = 1/(1/8) = 8 days

Question:
Let, the speed of Sumi be = a kmph
Now,
Shila's speed = (a + 4) kmph

∴ Distance covered by Sumi = (120 + 20) = 140 km
∴ Distance covered by Rafiq = (120 - 20) = 100 km.

ATQ,
140/(a + 4) = 100/a
⇒ 140a = 100a + 400
⇒ 140a - 100a = 400
⇒ 40a = 400
⇒ a = 400/40
∴ a = 10 kmph

Solution:
Part of work done by A= 1/10 × 5 ⇒ 1/2
Part of work done by B = 1/15 × 5 ⇒ 1/3
Part of work done by C = 1 - (1/2 + 1/3)
⇒ 1 - 5/6
⇒ 1/6
∴ (A’s share) : (B’s share) : (C’s share) = 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/6
⇒ 3 : 2 : 1

A’s share = 3/6 × 3000 ⇒Tk. 1500
B’s share = 2/6 × 3000 ⇒Tk. 1000
C’s share = 1/6 × 3000 ⇒Tk. 500

A’s daily wages = 1500/5 ⇒ Tk. 300
B’s daily wages = 1000/5 ⇒ Tk. 200
C’s daily wages = 500/2 ⇒ Tk. 250
Daily wages of Y and Z = (200 + 250) ⇒Tk. 450

The daily wages of B and C together is Tk. 450.

Question: By selling a property for Tk. 45000 a person incurs a loss of 10%. Find the selling price to gain the profit of 15%?

Solution:
CP = SP × 100/(100 - L%)
SP = CP × (100 + P%)/100
Here SP → Selling Price, CP → Cost Price, L% → Loss%, P% → Profit%

Calculation:
CP = 45000 × 100/(100 - 10)
⇒ CP = 45000 × (10/9)
= 50000

New Selling price = CP × (100 + 15)/100
⇒ New Selling price = 50000 × (115/100)
= 57500

∴ He should sell the land for Tk. 57500 to gain 15%

Question: Ashik buys a field of agricultural land for Tk. 3,60,000. He sells one-third at a loss of 20% and two-fifths at a gain of 25%. At what price must he sell the remaining field so as to make an overall profit of 10%?

Solution:
 Selling price of total agricultural field at a profit at 10% = 3,60,000 + 10% of 3,60,000
= 3,60,000 + 36000
= 396000

 Selling price of 1/3 agricultural field at a loss of 20% = (3,60,000/3) × (80/100)
= 120000 × (80/100)
= 96000

Selling price of 2/5 agricultural field at a profit of 25% = {(2 × 3,60,000)/5} × (125/100)
= 144000 × (125/100)
= 180000

Sell price of the remaining field = {396000 - (96000 + 180000)}
= 120000 tk

Question: A trader buys  a chair for Tk. 500 and sells it for Tk. 612 at a  credit of 6 months. Reckoning money worth 4% per annum, his gain  percent is- 

Solution:  
Money worth in 12 months = 4%
So, money worth in 6 months = (4 × 6)/12 = 2%

So, for 500 Tk. money worth = 2% of 500 = Tk. 10

Total cost of the chair = 500 + 10 = Tk. 510
Total profit = 612 - 510 = Tk. 102

∴ Profit = (102 × 100)/510 = 20%

Question: The difference between compound interest and simple interest on a sum for 2 years at 8% is Tk 768. The sum is -

Solution:
Let the sum be p

Then, Compound Interest = p(1+ 8/100)2 - p
= p(108/100)2 - p
= p(27/25)2 - p
= 729p/625 - p
= 104p/625

Again, Simple Interest = p × 2 × (8/100) = 4p/25

ATQ,
104p/625 - 4p/25 = 768
⇒ 4p/625 = 768
⇒ p = (768 × 625)/4
⇒ p = 120000

Question: In a class of 92 students, 40 are taking English, 24 are taking Arabic and 10 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

Solution:
Total students = 92
Students taking English n(E) = 40
Students taking Arabic n(A) = 24
Students taking both English and Arabic = 10

We know,
n(E ∪ A) = n(E) + n(A) - n(E ∩ A)
n(E ∪ A) = 40 + 24 - 10 = 54

∴ Not enrolled = Total students - n(E ∪ A) = 92 - 54 = 38
