Question: The price of cooking oil is reduced by 10%. A family buys 4 litres more for Tk. 720 after the reduction. What was the original price per litre?
Solution:
Let
Original price of cooking oil = x Tk/litre.
Original quantity = 720/x litre
New price = 0.90x Tk/litre
New quantity = 720/0.90x = 720/(9x/10) = (720 × 10)/9x = 800/x litre
ATQ,
(800/x) - (720/x) = 4
⇒ (800 - 720)/x = 4
⇒ 80/x = 4
⇒ x = 80/4
∴ x = 20
∴ Original price of cooking oil = 20 Tk/litre.
Total number of balls = (6 + 4 + 2 + 3)
= 15.
Let,
E be the event of drawing 2 red balls.
Then,
n(E) = 6C2
= (6 × 5)/(2 × 1)
= 15.
Also, n(S) = 15C2
= (15 × 14)/(2 × 1)
= 105.
∴ P(E) = n(E)/n(S)
= 15/105
= 1/7.
Question: A is two years older than B who is twice as old as C. If the total of the ages of A, B and C be 42, then how old is B?
Solution:
Let the age of C be = x years
Then, age of B = 2x years.
age of A = (2x + 2) years.
According to the question,
(2x + 2) + 2x + x = 42
⇒ 5x + 2 = 42
⇒ 5x = 42 - 2
⇒ 5x = 40
⇒ x = 40/5
⇒ x = 8
Hence, age of B = 2x = (2 × 8) years = 16 years.
Question: A ladder 20 meters long leans against a vertical wall. If the ladder makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ground, what is the distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall?
Solution:
মইয়ের দৈর্ঘ্য, AC = 20 m
ধরি, দেয়াল থেকে মইয়ের পাদদেশের দূরত্ব, BC = x
মই ভূমির সাথে যে কোণ তৈরি করে, ∠ACB = 60°
আমরা জানি, cosθ = ভূমি/অতিভুজ
∴ cos 60° = BC/ AC
⇒ 1/2 = x/20
⇒ 2x = 20
∴ x = 10 m
অতএব, দেয়াল থেকে মইয়ের পাদদেশের দূরত্ব = 10 m।
Question: In how many different ways can a committee of 3 members be selected from 5 people if a particular person must always be included in the committee?
Solution:
Since one person must always be in the committee, we need to select the other two members from the remaining 4 people.
∴ Number of ways to choose the other two members = 4C2
= (4 × 3)/(1 × 2)
= 6
Question: If x = 1 + √2 and y = 1 - √2, find the value of x2 + y2.
Solution:
Given that,
x = 1 + √2,
y = 1 - √2
∴ x + y = 1 + √2 + 1 - √2
= 2
And,
xy = (1 + √2)(1 - √2)
= 12 - (√2)2
= 1 - 2
= - 1
Now,
x2 + y2 = (x + y)2 - 2xy
= (2)2 - 2(- 1)
= 4 + 2
= 6

Question: A plane traveling at 600 miles per hour is heading for Chittagong airport. At 3.58 pm it was 30 miles from the airport. At what time it will arrive at the airport?
Solution:
প্লেনটি ৬০০ মাইল অতিক্রম করে ৬০ মিনিটে
প্লেনটি ১ মাইল অতিক্রম করে ৬০/৬০০ মিনিটে
প্লেনটি ৩০ মাইল অতিক্রম করে (৬০ × ৩০)/৬০০ মিনিটে
= ৩ মিনিটে
প্লেনটি বিমানবন্দরে পৌঁছাতে ৩ মিনিট সময় নিবে।
যদি বিকাল ৩ : ৫৮ এ প্লেনটি ৩০ মাইল দূরে থাকে, তাহলে ৩ মিনিট যোগ করলে পৌঁছানোর সময় হবে:
৩ : ৫৮ বিকাল + ৩ মিনিট = ৪ : ০১ বিকাল
Question: Excluding stoppages, the speed of a train is 80 kmph, and including stoppages, it is 64 kmph. For how many minutes does the train stop per hour?
Solution:
Excluding stoppages speed = 80 kmph
Including stoppages speed = 64 kmph
Loss in distance per hour due to stoppages
= (80 - 64) km
= 16 km
Time taken to cover 16 km at 80 kmph
= (16/80) × 60 minutes
= 12 minutes
Question: A train running at the speed of 84 km/hr passes a man walking in opposite direction at the speed of 6 km/hr in 4 seconds. What is the length of train (in meter)?
Solution:
Given that,
Train speed = 84 km/hr
Man speed = 6 km/hr (opposite direction)
∴ Relative speed = 84 + 6 = 90 km/hr
= 90 × (5/18) = 25 m/s
And,
Time taken to pass the man,
Given = 4 seconds
∴ Length = Relative speed × Time = 25 × 4 = 100 m
So the length of the train is 100 meters.
Question: Find the equation of the line with x-intercept = 6 and y-intercept = 5.
Solution:
Given,
x-intercept = 6, So, the line passes through (6, 0).
y-intercept = 5, So, the line passes through (0, 5).
We know, The intercept form of a line is:
(x/a) + (y/b) = 1, where a = x-intercept, b = y-intercept.
⇒ (x/6) + (y/5) = 1
⇒ (5x + 6y)/30 = 1
⇒ 5x + 6y = 30
⇒ 5x + 6y - 30 = 0
∴ The equation of the line is 5x + 6y - 30 = 0
Let P, Q and R represent their respective monthly incomes. Then, we have:
P + Q = (5050 x 2) = 10100 .... (i)
Q + R = (6250 x 2) = 12500 .... (ii)
P + R = (5200 x 2) = 10400 .... (iii)
Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get:
2(P + Q + R) = 33000 or P + Q + R = 16500 .... (iv)
Subtracting (ii) from (iv), we get,
P = 4000.
∴ P's monthly income = TK. 4000.
Question: A clock seen through a mirror shows quarter past five. What is the correct time shown by the clock?
Solution:

Question: X is 50% more efficient than Y. How much time will they, working together, take to complete a job which Y alone could have done in 25 days?
Solution:
X, Y এর থেকে 50% বেশি দক্ষ।
⇒ X : Y = 150 : 100 = 3 : 2
Y এক দিনে কাজ করে = 2 ইউনিট
X এক দিনে কাজ করে = 3 ইউনিট
মোট কাজ = Y এর দৈনিক কাজ × Y এর দিন = 2 × 25 = 50 ইউনিট
একসাথে এক দিনে কাজ করে = 3 + 2 = 5 ইউনিট
তাহলে কাজ শেষ করতে সময় লাগবে = 50 ÷ 5 দিন = 10 দিন
∴ সুতরাং, X এবং Y একত্রে কাজটি শেষ করতে 10 দিন সময় নেবে।
Question: In a bag, there are 5 red, 3 green, and 2 blue marbles. If two marbles are drawn one after the other without replacement, what is the probability that the first one is red and the second one is green?
Solution:
মোট মার্বেলের সংখ্যা = 5 (লাল) + 3 (সবুজ) + 2 (নীল) = 10টি
প্রথম মার্বেলটি লাল হওয়ার সম্ভাবনা = 5/10 = 1/2
প্রথম মার্বেলটি তোলার পর থলেতে মোট মার্বেলের সংখ্যা = 10 - 1 = 9টি
দ্বিতীয় মার্বেলটি সবুজ হওয়ার সম্ভাবনা = 3/9 = 1/3
∴ প্রথমটি লাল এবং দ্বিতীয়টি সবুজ হওয়ার সম্ভাবনা = (প্রথমটি লাল হওয়ার সম্ভাবনা) × (দ্বিতীয়টি সবুজ হওয়ার সম্ভাবনা)
= 1/2 × 1/3
= 1/6
Copper in 4 kg = 4/5 kg and
Zinc in 4 kg = 4 x (4/5) kg
Copper in 5 kg = 5/6 kg and
Zinc in 5 kg = 5 x (5/6) kg
Therefore, Copper in mixture = (4/5) + (5/6) = 49/30 kg
and Zinc in the mixture = (16/5) + (25/6) = 221/30 kg
Therefore the required ratio = 49/30 : 221/30
= 49 : 221.
Question: A farmer grows paddy on one acre and gets 400 kg of it. If each kilogram of paddy yields 700 grams of rice, how much rice does he get in total?
Solution:
1 কেজি ধানে চাল হয় = 700 গ্রাম
= 700/1000 কেজি
= 0.7 কেজি
∴ 400 কেজি ধানে চাল হয় = (400 × 0.7) কেজি = 280 কেজি
Question: A bicycle wheel has a diameter of 70 cm and is making 200 revolutions per minute. What is the speed of the bicycle in km/h?
Solution:
Given that,
Diameter of wheel, D = 70 cm
Radius, r = 70/2 = 35 cm
And revolutions per minute (rpm) = 200
We know,
Circumference C = 2πr = 2 × (22/7) × 35
= 44 × 5 = 220 cm
∴ Distance per minute = 220 × 200 = 44000 cm/min
= (44000 × 60)/100000 km/h ; [1 km = 100000 cm and 1 hour = 60 min]
= (44 × 6)/10 km/h
= 26.4 km/h
Question: A chord of length 18 cm is drawn in a circle of radius 12 cm. The distance of the chord from the center of the circle is -
Solution:
Given,
r = 12 cm
and c = 18 cm.
Half of the chord length = 18/2 = 9 cm
∴ Distance = √(122 - 92)
= √(144 - 81)
= √63 cm
The chord's distance from the circle's center is √63 cm.
Question: If the current month is January, what month will it be after 50 months?

50 ÷ 12 = 4 remainder 2,
January মাসের এক মাস পরে হবে February.
January মাসের দুই মাস পরে আসবে March.
Question: 4 log 2 + 2 log 3 - 1/2 log 81 = ?
Solution:
4 log 2 + 2 log 3 - 1/2 log 81
= log 24 + log 32 - log(81)1/2
= log 16 + log 9 - log √81
= log 16 + log 9 - log 9
= log(16 × 9) - log 9
= log 144 - log 9
= log(144/9)
= log 16
Question: When x = (y + 3)2 , which of the following matches (- 2y - 6)2?
Solution:
Here,
x = (y + 3)2
∴ (- 2y - 6)2 ={- 2 (y + 3)}2
= 4 × (y + 3)2
= 4x
Question: If the total surface area of a cube is 150 cm2, then what is the volume of the cube?
Solution:
ধরি,
ঘনকের এক বাহুর দৈর্ঘ্য = a সেমি
আমরা জানি, একটি ঘনকের মোট ৬টি সমান বর্গাকার তল থাকে।
সুতরাং, সমগ্র তলের ক্ষেত্রফল = 6a2
প্রশ্নমতে,
6a2 = 150
⇒ a2 = 150/6
⇒ a2 = 25
⇒ a = √25 = 5 সেমি
আবার,
ঘনকের আয়তন = a3
∴ আয়তন = 53 = 125 ঘন সেমি
সুতরাং, ঘনকটির আয়তন = 125 ঘন সেমি
Question: If a - b = 3 and ab = 2, then the value of a3 - b3 - 3ab will be?
Solution:
We know,
a3 - b3 = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2)
So,
a3 - b3 - 3ab = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2) - 3ab
= 3 × (a2 + b2 + ab) - 3ab
= 3(a2 + b2) + 3ab - 3ab
= 3(a2 + b2)
Also, a2 + b2 = (a - b)2+ 2ab = 32 + 2×2 = 9 + 4 = 13
Therefore,
∴ a3- b3 - 3ab = 3 × 13 = 39
Let, after x years father's age will be twice
ATQ, 2(12 + x) = 40 + x

Or, x = 16
Question: In a trapezoid, the lengths of the two parallel bases are 12 and 20. If the height of the trapezoid is 5, find the area of the trapezoid.
Solution:
Given,
Trapezoid with bases a = 12 and b = 20
Height, h = 5
We know,
Area of trapezoid = (1/2) × (sum of bases) × height
= (1/2) × (a + b) × h
= (1/2) × (12 + 20) × 5
= (1/2) × 32 × 5
= 16 × 5
= 80
So, the area of the trapezoid is 80 square units.
Question: A mixture of 200 liters of milk and water contains 15% water. How much more water should be added so that water becomes 20% of the new mixture?
Solution:
Amount of water in the 200-liter mixture = 15% of 200
= (15/100) × 200
= 30 liters
Let,
P liters of water are added.
So, new amount of water = (30 + P)
and new total mixture = (200 + P)
ATQ,
(30 + P) = 20% of (200 + P)
⇒ 30 + P = (20/100) × (200 + P)
⇒ 30 + P = (1/5) × (200 + P)
⇒ 150 + 5P = 200 + P
⇒ 5P - P = 200 - 150
⇒ 4P = 50
∴ P = 12.5
∴ 12.5 liters more water should be added.
Question: Given that a shop opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 6:45 p.m., with a 20-minute tea break, what is the proportion of the break to the total working hours?
Solution:
Total working time = 6:45 - 10:00
= 8 hours 45 minutes
= (8 × 60) + 45
= 525 minutes
The ratio of the break to the total working period
= 20/525
= 4/105
Question: If px2 + 24x + 16 is a perfect square number, then p = ?
Solution:
দেওয়া আছে, রাশিটি একটি পূর্ণবর্গ সংখ্যা।
px2 + 24x + 16
= (3x)2 + 2(3x)(4) + (4)2
একটি রাশি পূর্ণবর্গ হওয়ার জন্য, এটি (a2 + 2ab + b2) অথবা (a2 - 2ab + b2) আকারের হতে হবে। এখানে,
a = 3x এবং b = 4
যেহেতু প্রথম পদটি a2 এর সমান,
∴ px2 = a2
⇒ px2 = (3x)2
⇒ px2 = 9x2
⇒ p = 9
অতএব, p এর মান হলো 9।
Question: A gardener planted trees in rows and columns such that the number of rows is seven more than the number of columns. If the total number of rows and columns is 87, find the number of trees.
Solution:
Let the number of columns = x.
Then, number of rows = x + 7
According to the question,
x + (x + 7) = 87
⇒ 2x + 7 = 87
⇒ 2x = 80
⇒ x = 40
Number of rows = x + 7 = 40 + 7 = 47
Total number of trees = rows × columns
= 47 × 40 = 1880
Question: 6 years ago, the ratio of the ages of Kamrul and Sagar was 6 : 5. Four years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 11 : 10. What is Sagar's age at present ?
Solution:
Let the ages of Kamrul and Sagar 6 years ago be 6x and 5x years
Then,
{(6x + 6) + 4}/{(5x + 6) + 4} = 11/10
⇒ (6x + 10)/(5x + 10) = 11/10
⇒ 10(6x + 10) = 11(5x + 10)
⇒ 60x + 100 = 55x + 110
⇒ 5x = 10
∴ x = 2
∴ Sagar's present age,
= (5x + 6) years
= (5 × 2 + 6) years
= 16 years
∴ Sagar's present age is 16 years.
Question: What is the probability of getting a sum 7 from two throws of a dice?
Solution:
দুটি ছক্কা নিক্ষেপ করলে মোট সম্ভাব্য ফলাফল (Sample Space), n(S) = 6 × 6 = 36
ধরি, E হলো প্রাপ্ত সংখ্যাদ্বয়ের যোগফল 7 হওয়ার ঘটনা।
∴ অনুকূল ফলাফলগুলো হলো, E = {(1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 2), (6, 1)}
এখানে, n(E) = 6
আমরা জানি,সম্ভাবনা P(E) = n(E)/n(S)
= 6/36
= 1/6
Question: Determine the value of the 3rd term of the sequence: sin(nπ/6)
Solution:
The sequence is defined as sin(nπ/6), where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, ...
We need the 3rd term, so substitute n = 3
3rd term = sin(3π/6)
= sin(π/2)
= 1
So the 3rd term of the sequence is 1.
Question: In a certain time, a sum becomes 4 times of itself on simple interest at the rate of 10% per annum. What is the rate of interest if the same sum becomes 7 times of itself in the same duration?
Solution:
Principal = P
Time = n (same in both cases)
Rate, r = 10%
Simple Interest, SI = 4P - P = 3P
We know,
SI = Prn
⇒ 3P = (P × 10 × n)/100
⇒ 3P = (P × n)/10
∴ n = 30 years
Again,
In the second scenario, the same sum becomes 7 times itself in the same duration (30 years).
Final Amount, A = 7P
Simple Interest, SI = A - P = 7P - P = 6P
Time, n = 30 years
SI = Prn
⇒ 6P = (P × r × 30)/100
⇒ 6 = (r × 3)/10
⇒ r = 60/3
∴ r = 20%
So the new rate of interest is 20% per annum.
Question: How many years will it take for an investment of Tk. 15000 to earn Tk. 3600 in simple interest rate of 4%?
Solution:
Given that,
Principal, P = 15000
Simple Interest, I = 3600
Rate of interest, r = 4%
Time, n = ?
We know,
I = Pnr/100
⇒ n = (I × 100)/ (P × r)
= (3600 × 100)/(15000 × 4)
= 6
So, it will take 6 years for the investment to earn Tk. 3600 at 4% simple interest.
Question: The present ratio of students to teachers at a certain school is 30 to 1. If the number of students were to increase by 50 and the number of teachers were to increase by 5, the ratio of students to teachers would then be 25 to 1. What is the present number of students?
Solution:
Let the number of student and teacher be represented by x and y, respectively.
x : y = 30 : 1
⇒ x/y = 30/1
⇒ x = 30y....................(1)
If the number of students increases by 50 and the number of teachers increases by 5
(50 + x) : (y + 5) = 25 : 1
⇒ (50 + x) / (y + 5) = 25/1
⇒ 50 + x = 25y + 125
⇒ 50 + 30y = 25y + 125
⇒ 30y - 25y = 125 - 50
⇒ 5y = 75
⇒ y = 75/5
⇒ y = 15
∴ Number of teachers = 15
And the number of students = 30 × 15 = 450
Question: A truck travels at 96 km/h. How much distance will it cover in 75 minutes?
Solution:
Given that,
Speed = 96 km/h
Time = 75 minutes = 75/60 hours = 5/4 hours
We know,
Distance = Speed × Time
= 96 × (5/4)
= 96 × 1.25
= 120 km
So the truck will cover 120 km in 75 minutes.
