Question: What is the solution of 2cos2θ + 3sinθ - 3 = 0; where θ is an acute angle.

Solution:
2cos2θ + 3sinθ - 3 = 0
⇒ 2(1 - sin2θ) + 3sinθ - 3 = 0
⇒ 2{(1 + sinθ) (1 - sinθ)} - 3(1 - sinθ) = 0
⇒ (1 - sinθ) {2(1 + sinθ) - 3} = 0
⇒ (1 - sinθ) (2sinθ - 1) = 0

হয়,
1 - sinθ = 0
⇒ sinθ = 1
⇒ sinθ = sin90°
θ = 90°

অথবা,
2sinθ - 1 = 0
⇒ sinθ = 1/2
⇒ sinθ = ‍sin30°
∴ θ = 30°
যেহেতু, θ সূক্ষ্মকোণ,  θ = 30°

Question: A train 300 metres long is running at a speed of 45 km/hr. How many seconds will it take cross a 200 metres long train running in the same direction at a speed of 30 km/hr?

Solution:
Here,
Length of 1st train 300 metres
Length of 2nd train 200 metres

∴ Total distance to cross each other = 300 + 200 metres
= 500 metres

Relative speed for travelling same direction = 45 - 30 km/hr
= 15 km/hr
= (15 × 1000)/3600 m/s
= 25/6 m/s

Required time to cross = 500/(25/6) s
= (500 × 6)/25 s
= 120 s

সমাধান:
ধরি,
বৃত্তের ব্যাস = 2 সে.মি.
তাহলে, ব্যাসার্ধ = 2/2 = 1 সে.মি.
তাহলে, বৃত্তের ক্ষেত্রফল = π(1)2 = π বর্গ সে.মি.

100% হ্রাসে,
নতুন ব্যাস = 2 - {2 × (100/100)} সেমি = 0 সে.মি.
নতুন ব্যাসার্ধ = 0
নতুন ক্ষেত্রফল = π(0)2 = 0 বর্গ সে.মি.

ক্ষেত্রফল হ্রাস = π - 0 = π বর্গ সে.মি.

∴ ক্ষেত্রফল শতকরা হ্রাস পায় = π  × 100%

Question: For what year will the calendar be the same as for the year 2009?

Solution:
For the year to have the same calendar as 2009 you need the sum of the number of odd days. When this sum is divisible by 7 than that year will have the same calendar as 2009.

Year : 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014
Odd day : 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1

Sum of odd days = 7 odd days [divisible by 7]

 ∴ Calendar for the year 2015 will be the same as for the year 2009.

Question: A circle has a circumference of 24π. A square is inscribed inside the circle. What is the perimeter of the square?

Solution: 
Given that, 
The circumference of the circle is 24π

We know, 
Circumference, 2πr = 24π
⇒ 2r = 24
∴ diameter = 24
and radius = 24/2 = 12
Since the square is inscribed in the circle, the diagonal of the square equals the diameter of the circle.
∴ Diagonal of the square = 24

Let the side length of the square be s.
For a square, diagonal = s√2
So,
⇒ s√2 = 24
⇒ s = 24/√2
⇒ s = 24√2/2
∴ s = 12√2
∴ Perimeter of the square = 4 × side = 4 × 12√2 = 48√2

So the perimeter of the square is 48√2.

Question: In the triangle ABC, AB = 12 cm and AC = 8 cm, and ∠BAC = 60°. What is the value of the length of the side BC? 

Solution:
Given that,
In the triangle, ABC, AB = 12 cm and AC = 8 cm, and ∠BAC = 60°.


We know,
According to the law of cosine, if a, b, and c are three sides of a triangle ΔABC and ∠A is the angle between AC and AB then, a2 = b2 + c2 - 2bc × cos∠A

According to the concept,
BC2 = AB2 + AC2 - 2 × AB × AC × cos60°
⇒ BC2 = 122 + 82 - 2 × 12 × 8 × (1/2)
⇒ BC2 = 144 + 64 - 96 = 112
⇒ BC = √112 = √(16 × 7)
⇒ BC = 4√7

∴ The measure of BC is 4√7 cm.

Question: A right-angled triangle has hypotenuse 50 units and one side 30 units. Find the area.

Solution:
We know that,
The area of a right angled triangle = (1/2) × base × height

Given that,
Base = 30 and Hypotenuse = 50

Form Pythagoras Theorem,
Height2 = Hypotenuse2 - Base2
= 502 - 302
= 2500 - 900
⇒ Height2 = 1600
∴ Height = 40

Area = (1/2) × base × height
= (1/2) × 30 × 40
= 600 sq. units

Let x km/hr be the speed of the train.

Time required to cover 360 km = 360/x hr.

As per the question given,

⇒ (x + 5)((360/x)- 1) = 360
⇒ (x + 5)(360 – x) = 360x
⇒ 360x – x2 + 1800 - 5x = 360x
⇒ x2 + 5x – 1800 = 0
⇒ x(x + 45) -40(x + 45) = 0
⇒ (x + 45)(x – 40) = 0
⇒ x = 40, -45

Negative value is not considered for speed, hence the answer is 40km/hr.

⇒ (9/20) of (A - B) = (3/10) of (A + B)
⇒ (9/2) of (A - B) = 3 of (A + B)
⇒ 9(A - B) = 6(A + B)
⇒ 9A - 9B = 6A + 6B
⇒ 3A = 15B
⇒ B/A = 3/15 = 1/5
⇒ B = (1/5) × A
∴ B = (1/5) × 100% of A = 20% of A

So B is 20% of A

Question: A boatman can row a boat at the speed of 5 km/hr upstream and 15 km/hr downstream. Find the speed of the stream.

Solution:
Let’s denote:
B as Speed of the boat in still water (km/h)
S as Speed of the stream (km/h)

Speed of the boat upstream is the speed of the boat in still water minus the speed of the stream:
B - S = 5 km/hr…(i)

Speed of the boat downstream is the speed of the boat in still water plus the speed of the stream:
B + S = 15 km/hr…(ii)

 
Solving both equations
B = 10 km/h and S = 5 km/h

∴ Speed of the stream is 5 km/h

Question: One pipe can fill a tank four times as fast as another pipe. If together the two pipes can fill the tank in 36 minutes, then the slower pipe alone will be able to fill the tank in:

Solution:
Let the faster pipe can fill it in X minutes
in one minute it can fill up = 1/X of the tank

so the slower pipe can do it in 4X minutes
in one minute it can fill up = 1/4X of the tank

so in one minute both can fill = (1/X) + (1/4X)
= 5/4X
the full tank will be filled in = 4X/5 minutes
ATQ,
4X/5 = 36
X = 45
so the slower pipe can do it in = 4 × 45 = 180 minutes

Consider an equilateral triangle ABC having sides a and a median AD of length x unit'.
In an equilateral triangle, the median is always the perpendicular bisector of the triangle. 
So, BD=a/2

In triangle ABD, by Pythagoras theorem, we have
AB2=AD2+BD2
⟹a2=x2+(a​/2)2
⟹a2=x2+ a2/4​
⟹3a2​/4=x2
or,a2=4x2/3​

Now, area of equilateral triangle =√3​a2​/4
                                                     =​​(√3​​/4) × (4x2/3​)
                                                   =√3x2/3

 length of a median of an equilateral triangle = 3 cm

Solution:
Since the ratio of foreign : local is 3 : 7,
let's use a total of 10 parts
So if we have a total of 100 students, that means
Foreign students = 30 students
Local students = 70 students

Foreign female students = (1/4) × 30 = 15/2 students
Local female students = (3/4) × 70 = 105/2 students

Total female students = (15/2) + (105/2)

Question: The sum of L.C.M. and H.C.F. of two numbers is 1260. If their L.C.M. is 900 more than their H.C.F., find the product of two numbers.

Solution:
Let the HCF be x

LCM = HCF + 900
LCM = x + 900 ...............(1)


And,
LCM + HCF = 1260
LCM + x = 1260 .................(2)

From (1) and (2) equation,
(x + 900) + x = 1260
⇒ 2x + 900 = 1260
⇒ 2x = 1260 - 900
⇒ 2x = 360
⇒ x = 360/2
⇒ x = 180

∴ HCF = 180

And, from equation (1),
LCM = HCF + 900
LCM = 180 + 900
∴ LCM = 1080

By formula, the product of the numbers is equal to the product of their HCF and LCM.

Product of numbers = HCF × LCM
= 180 × 1080

Question: If 5 years ago, the ratio of age of Mridul and Lovely was 1 : 2 and after 15 years from present their ratio would be 5 : 6. Find the age of Lovely after 20 years.

Solution:
Let, present age of Mridul be x and present age of Lovely be y.

Then, according to question
(x - 5)/(y - 5) = 1/2
⇒ 2x - 10 = y - 5
⇒ x = (y + 5)/2 .............(1)

Also,
(x + 15)/(y + 15) = 5/6
⇒ 6x + 90 = 5y + 75
⇒ 6x + 15 = 5y

Putting value of x from equation 1, we get
3y + 15 + 15 = 5y
⇒ 2y = 30
⇒ y = 15

∴ Age of Lovely after 20 years = 15 + 20 = 35 years.

সমাধান:
X দ্রবণে লবণ আছে = 40%
Y দ্রবণে লবণে আছে = 25%

মিশ্রণে লবণ আছে = 30%

এখন 
x এর 40% + y এর 25% = (x + y) এর 30% 
40x/100 + 25y/100 = 30(x + y)/100
40x + 25y = 30(x + y)
40x + 25y = 30x + 30y
40x - 30x = 30y - 25y
10x = 5y 
x/y = 5/10
x : y = 1 : 2 

x এর পরিমাণ = (1/3) × 100%

Question: The angle of elevation of a ladder learning against a wall is 60° and the foot of the ladder is 4.6 m away from the wall. The length of the ladder is -

Solution:

Let AB be the wall and BC be the ladder.

 Then, ∠ACB = 60°
and AC = 4.6 m

We know,
cos∠ACB = AC/BC
⇒ cos60° = AC/BC
⇒ AC/BC= 1/2
⇒ BC = 2 × AC
⇒ BC = 2 × 4.6
∴ BC = 9.2 m

Solution:
We know
if the time period of investment is the same, profit or loss is divided by the ratio of the value of the investment.

Here,
Ratio of value of investment of Hasan and Ali = 50,000 : 1,00,000 = 1 : 2
∴ Ratio of share in profit = 1 : 2

∴ the share of Hasan in profit = (1/3) × 15,000 = Tk. 5,000

Question: The ratio of length and breadth of a rectangular park is 7 : 5. A man runs along its boundary at 8 km/hr and takes 9 minutes for one round. Find its area in sq. meters.

Solution:
One round of the park is equal to the perimeter of the park.
So, by completing one round, the man covers a distance equal to the perimeter of the park.
Now,
Distance or perimeter = speed × time
= 8 × (9/60)
= 1.2 km
= 1200 meters

Let,
Length = 7x and breadth = 5x
So, Perimeter,
2(7x + 5x) = 1200
⇒ 24x = 1200
∴ x =1200/24 = 50 meters

So, Length = 7 × 50 = 350 meters
And, Breadth = 5 × 50 = 250 meters

Area = Length × Breadth
= 350 × 250
= 87500 sq. m.

Question: The sum of the ages of a man and his son is 45 years. Five years ago, the product of their age was 34. What is the age of the son?  

Solution: 
Let, the son's age be = x years
So, the man's age is = (45 - x) years

ATQ,
(x - 5) (45 - x - 5) = 34
⇒ (x - 5) (40 - x) = 34
⇒ 40x - x2 - 200 + 5x - 34 = 0
⇒ 45x - x2 - 234 = 0
⇒ x2 - 45x + 234 = 0
⇒ x2 - 39x - 6x + 234 = 0
⇒ (x -39) (x - 6) = 0

So, x = 6, or 39
Son's age must be less than father's age.

∴ x = 6

Question: A certain sum of money is invested at an interest rate of 5% per annum and a second sum twice as large as the first is invested at 5.5% p. a. The total amount of interest earned from two investments together is Tk. 1000 per year and the interest is withdrawn every year. The first sum invested is: 

Solution:
Let 
Two sums Tk. x and Tk. 2x

Now
{(x × 5 × 1)/100} + {(2x × 5.5× 1)/100} = 1000
5x + 11x = 100000
16x = 100000
x = 6250

The first sum = Tk. 6250

Question: If the diagonal and the area of a rectangle are 25 m and 168 m2, what is the width of the rectangle?

Solution: 
let, length x and width y 
area = xy = 168 

diagonal = √(x2 + y2) = 25
⇒ x2 + y2 = 252

(x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2
= 625 + 2 × 168
= 625 + 336
= 961

x + y = √961 = 31 

(x - y)2 = x2 - 2xy - y2
= 625 - 2 × 168
= 625 - 336
= 289

x - y = √289 
= 17 

x + y - x + y = 31 - 17 
⇒ 2y = 14
∴ y = 7 m

Question: Kabir paid Tk. 9,600 as interest on a loan he took 5 years ago at the rate of 16% simple interest per annum. What was the principal amount (the original loan amount) he borrowed?

Solution: 
SI = Interest paid = Tk. 9600
R = Rate of interest = 16% per annum
T = Time = 5 years
P = Principal (the amount we need to find)

We know, 
SI = (P × R × T)/100
⇒ 9600 = (P × 16 × 5)/100
⇒ 9600 = (P × 80)/100
⇒ P = 96000/8
∴ P = 12000

∴ Kabir took a loan of Tk. 12000.

Question: In an election between two candidates, winner got 55% of the total valid votes, 20% of the votes were invalid. If the total number of votes was 80,000, the number of valid votes that the loser candidate got, was-

Solution:
Given,
20% of the votes were invalid
∴ the valid votes = (100 - 20) = 80%

∴ Number of valid votes = (80% of 80,000)
= (80/100 of 80,000)
= 64,000

∴ Winner candidates got = (55% of 64,000)
= (55/100 of 64,000)
= 35,200

So, the loser got = (64,000 - 35,200)
= 28,800

Solution:
২য় নল দ্বারা,
20 মিনিটে পূর্ণ হয় = 1 অংশ
∴ 1 মিনিটে পূর্ণ হয় = 1/20 অংশ
∴ 12 মিনিটে পূর্ণ হয় = 12/20 অংশ
= 3/5 অংশ

∴  অবশিষ্ট থাকে = 1 - (3/5) অংশ
= 2/5 অংশ

১ম নল দ্বারা
1 বা সম্পূর্ণ অংশ পূর্ণ হয় = 10 মিনিটে

Question: The certain worth of a certain sum due sometime hence is Tk. 1800. If the true discount is Tk. 180, what is the banker's gain?

Solution:
PW = Tk. 1800
TD = Tk. 180

PW (present worth) = FV (face value) - TD (true discount)
⇒ Face value = present worth + true discount
= 1800 + 180
= 1980

True discount is the simple interest on the present value for the unexpired time.
Now, simple interest on Tk. 1800 for unexpired time = Tk. 180
The rate of simple interest = (180/1800) × 100% = 10%

Banker's discount is the simple interest on the face value of the bill for unexpired time.
simple interest on Tk. 1980 for unexpired time or remaining time.
R = 10%
Banker's discount = 1980 × (10/100) = 198

Banker's gain = Banker's discount - True discount
= 198 - 180
= 18

Alternative Solution:
Banker's gain = (True discount)2/Present worth
= (180)2/1800
= 18

Let, the rate of CI be R per cent per annum
CI = P[{1 + (R/100)}T - 1]
5044 = 32000[{1 + (R/400)}3 - 1]

Since, Interest is compounded quarterly
(5044/32000) = {1 + (R/400)}3 - 1
⇒ {1 + (R/400)}3 - 1 = 1261/8000
⇒ {1 + (R/400)}3 = 1 + (1261/8000)
⇒ {1 + (R/400)}3 = 9261/8000
⇒ {1 + (R/400)}3 = (21/20)3
⇒ 1 + (R/400) = 21/20
⇒ R/400 = (21/20) - 1
⇒ R/400 = 1/20
⇒ r = 400/20
∴ r = 20%
