As we know that volume of wire is volume of cylinder.
And in given question silver wire is drawn from 66 cubic centimetres of silver.
So we can equivalent the volume of cylinder with 66 cubic centimetres.
we know that volume of cylinder is Π×r2×l. [where l = length and r = radius]
Given, r = 1/2mm.
i.e. r = 0.5mm.
i.e. r = 0.05cm.
According to question Π×r2×l = 66
i.e. 22/7 × (0.05)2× l = 66
by solving this question we get l = 8400cm.
So, length of wire in metres is 84m.

Question: Two trains of equals length, running in opposite direction, pass a pole in 48 and 24 seconds. The trains will cross each other in-

Solution:
Let,
the length of both train be = a meters
Speed of the first train = (a/48) m/s
and speed of the second train = (a/24) m/s

When running in opposite directions, relative speed = (a/48) + (a/24)
= (a + 2a)/48
= 3a/48
= a/16

Now,
to cross each other, distance to be covered = (a + a) = 2a meters

∴ the two train will cross each other = (2a)/(a/16)
= 32 sec

Question: Ten years ago, a man was eight times as old as his son. Two years hence, twice his age will be equal to four times the age of his son. What is the presesnt age of the son?

Solution:
Let,
Son's age 10 years ago be a years.
then, man's age 10 years ago = 8a years

∴ Son's present age = (a + 10) years
And man's present age = (8a + 10) years

ATQ,
2{(8a + 10) + 2} = 4{(a + 10) + 2}
⇒ 2(8a + 12) = 4(a + 12)
⇒ 16a + 24 = 4a + 48
⇒ 16a - 4a = 48 - 24
⇒ 12a = 24
⇒ a = 2

So, son's present age = (a + 10) = (2 + 10) = 12 years.

Question: A rectangular block measuring 8 cm by 12 cm by 16 cm is cut into an exact number of cubes of equal size. What will be the least possible number of cubes?

Solution:
Given that,
Sides of the rectangular block = 8 cm, 12 cm, 16 cm

Let n be the number of cubes.
HCF( 8, 12, 16) = 4 cm
And side of the square = 4 cm

We know, 
Volume of the cuboid = n × Volume of the cube
⇒ Length × breadth × height = n × side3
⇒ 8 × 12 × 16 = n ×  4 ×  4 ×  4
⇒ 64n = 8 × 12 × 16
⇒ n = (8 × 12 × 16)/64
∴ n = 24

So the number of cubes is 24.

Question: Two ladies simultaneously leave cities A and B connected by a straight road and travel towards each other. The first lady travels 2 km/hr faster than the second lady and reaches B one hour before the second lady reaches A. The two cities A and B are 24 km apart. How many kilometres does each lady travel in one hour?

Solution: 
Let the speed of the second lady be x km/hr
Then, speed of first lady = (x + 2) km/hr

ATQ,
24/x - 24/(x + 2) = 1
⇒ x(x + 2) = 48
⇒ x2 + 2x - 48 = 0
⇒ x2 + 8x - 6x - 48 = 0
⇒ x(x + 8) - 6(x + 8) = 0
⇒ (x + 8)(x - 6) = 0
⇒ x = 6

Hence, speed of first lady = 8 km/hr
The speed of the second lady = 6 km/hr

Question: In group of 15 high school students, 7 study Latin, 8 study French and 3 study neither latin nor French. How many students study both Latin and French.

Solution:
There are a group of 15
3 have not studied either.
∴ The number of student who either studied Latin or French = 15 - 3 = 12

Here, 
The number of student studied Latin = n(L) = 7
The number of student studied French = n(F) = 8

Let,
The number of student studied both Latin and French = n(L ∩ F)

Now,
n(L ∪ F) = n(L) + n(F) - n(L ∩ F)
⇒ n(L ∩ F) = n(L) + n(F) - n(L ∪ F)
= 7 + 8 - 12
= 15 - 12 
= 3

∴ 3 students of these studied both Latin and French

Question: Robi invested Tk. ‘x’ in a scheme offering 15% p.a. simple interest for three years while Shami invested same amount in another scheme offering 10% p.a. compound interest for three years, compounded annually. Find the value of ‘x’ if the difference between the interests earned by them after three is Tk. 1428.

Solution:
Robi invested Tk. ‘x’ in a scheme offering 15% p.a. simple interest for three years
∴ Simple interest = x × 3 × (15/100) = 9x/20 = 0.45x

Shami invested Tk. x in another scheme offering 10% p.a. compound interest for three years
∴ Compound interest = x(1 + 10/100)3 - x
= x × 1.1 × 1.1 × 1.1 - x
= 1.331x - x
= 0.331x

ATQ,
0.45x - 0.331x = 1428
⇒ 0.119x = 1428
⇒ x = 1428/0.119
∴ x = 12000

Question: A shopkeeper marks his items 40% above the cost price and then gives a 20% discount on the marked price. What is his gain percentage?

Solution:
Let,
the cost price (CP) be Tk. 100

Marked Price = 40% more than cost price
= 100 + 40
= 140 Tk.

Discount = 20% of 140
= (20/100) ​× 140
= 28 Tk.

Selling Price (SP)= 140 - 28 = 112 Tk.

∴ Profit = SP - CP = 112 - 100 = 12 Tk.

∴ Gain percent = 12%

Question: The speed of a boat in still water is 9 km/h. The time it takes to travel downstream is half the time it takes to travel upstream. What is the speed of the stream?

Solution:
Let the speed of the current be = x km/h

Then,
Downstream speed = (9 + x) km/h
Upstream speed = (9 - x) km/h

According to the question:
(9 + x) = 2(9 - x)
⇒ 9 + x = 18 - 2x
⇒ 2x + x = 18 - 9
⇒ 3x = 9
⇒ x = 9/3
⇒ x = 3

∴ Speed of the stream = 3 km/h

Question: A train 300 metres long is running at a speed of 90 km/hr. How many seconds will it take cross a 200 metres long train running in the same direction at a speed of 60 km/hr?

Solution:
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 = 90 - 60 km/hr
= 30 km/hr
= (30 × 1000)/3600 m/s
= 300/36 m/s

Required time to cross = 500/(300/36) s
= (500 × 36)/300 s

Question: A tank is 7 metre long and 4 meter wide wide. At what speed should water run through a pipe 5 cm broad and 4 cm deep so that in 6 hours and 18 minutes water level in the tank rises by 4.5 meter?

Solution:
Rate of flow of water = x cm/minute
∴ Volume of water that flowed in the in 1 minutes
= (5 × 4 × x)
= 20 x cu.cm.

∴ Volume of water that flowed in the tank in 6 hours 18 minutes.
= (6 × 60 + 18) = 378 minutes
= 20x × 378 cu. cm.

According to question,
20x × 378 = 700 × 400 × 4 50
⇒ x = (700 × 400 × 450)/(20 × 378)cm/minutes
⇒ x = (700 × 400 × 450 × 60)/(100000 × 20 × 378)km/hours

Question: A car covers a distance of 450 m in 1 minute whereas a train covers 69 km in 45 minutes. Find the difference of their speeds.
Solution: 
Speed of car = Distance covered/Time taken = 450/60 m/sec = 15/2
= 15/2 × 3600/1000 km/hr
= 27 km/hr

Distance covered by train = 69 km

Time taken = 45 min = 45/60 hr = 3/4 hr

Therefore, speed of trains = 69/(3/4) km/hr
= 69/1 × 4/3 km/hr
= 92 km/hr

∴ the difference of their speeds = 92 - 27 km/hr
= 65 km/hr

Question: A man can row 12 km/h in still water. He finds that it takes him twice as long to row upstream as to row downstream. What is the speed of the stream?

Solution: 
Speed in still water = 12 km/h
Speed of the stream = x km/h

Let the distance travelled is = D km
Time taken upstream = 2 × (Time taken downstream)
D/(12-x) = 2 × {D/(12+x)}
⇒ 1/(12-x) = 2/(12+x)
⇒ 12 + x = 24 - 2x
⇒ 3x = 12
∴ x = 4

So, Speed of the stream = 4 km/h

Solution :
Given,
Compound interest = Tk. 5992.05
Time n = 4 years
Interest rate r = 15%
= 15/100
= 0.15

We know,
Compound interest = P(1 + r)n - P
⇒ 5992.05 = P{(1 + 0.15)4 - 1}
⇒ 5992.05 = P{(1.15)4 - 1}
⇒ 5992.05 = P(1.749 - 1)
⇒ 5992.05 = P × 0.749
⇒ P = 5992.05 ÷ 0.749
∴ P = 8000

∴ Boy's 1 day's work = 1/7x part

ATQ,
1/4x + 1/7x = 1/28
⇒ (7 + 4)/28x = 1/28
⇒ 11/28x = 1/28
⇒ 28x = 28 × 11
∴ x = 11

Hence, time taken by the boy to complete the work alone = (7 × 11) days
= 77 days

Question: Jobin is one year older than three times Lina's age. If their ages currently add up to 33 years, then how old will Jobin be in 4 years?

Solution:
Let Jobin = J and Lina = L.
Jobin is one year older than three times Lina's age in years:
J = 3L + 1

Currently, their ages add up to 33:
J + L = 33
⇒ (3L + 1) + L = 33
⇒ 4L = 32
⇒ L = 8

Lina is 8 years old. Jobin, from first equation, is
3L + 1
= 3(8) + 1
= 25

Jobin is 25 years old now. In four years he will be 29.

Question: Find the difference of amount if 40% discount is given on Tk. 500 and two consecutive discounts 30% and 10% are given on the same amount.

Solution:
40% discount on 500 = 500 × 40% = 200

Two consecutive discount on 500.
30% discount on 500 = 500 - 30% of 500
= 500 - 150
= 350

Again,
10% discount on 350 = 350 - 10% of 350
= 350 - 35
= 315

Total discount = 150 + 35 = Tk. 185
So, difference = 200 - 185 = Tk. 15

Question: The percentage profit earned by selling an article for Tk. 1920 is equal to the percentage loss by selling the same article for Tk. 1280. At what price should the article be sold to make 25% profit?

Solution:
Let the cost price of the article be C.
From the given problem, the percentage profit made by selling the article for Tk. 1920 is equal to the percentage loss incurred by selling the article for Tk. 1280. This can be expressed as:
{(1920 - C)/C​} × 100 = {(C - 1280)/C} ​×100
⇒ 1920 - C = C - 1280
⇒ 1920 + 1280 = 2C
⇒ 3200 = 2C
∴ C = 1600

Now, to make a 25% profit, the selling price should be:
Selling Price = C + (25/100) × C = 1600 + (25/100) ×1600 = 1600 + 400 = 2000

The numbers 102 and 210 are themselves multiples of 3.
also a multiple of 3 exists once in every three consecutive integers.
Counting the multiples of 3 starting with 1 for 102,
2 {= 1 + (105 - 102)/3 = 1+ 1 = 2 } for 105,
3 { = 1 +(108 - 102)/3 = 1 + 2 = 3} for 108,
and so on, the count we get for 210 equals 1+(210 - 102)/3 = 1 + 36 = 37,
hence the answer is 37

Question: Rasel can fill advertising circulars into envelopes at the rate of 45 envelopes per minute and Ali requires a minute and a half to fill the same number of envelopes. Working together, how long will it take Rasel and Ali to fill 300 envelopes?

Solution:
Given,
Rasel can fill 45 envelopes in 1 minutes
and,
Ali can fill 45 envelopes in (1 + 1/2) = 3/2 minutes
So Ali can fill in 1 minutes = (45 ÷ 3/2) envelopes
= (45 × 2/3) envelopes
= 30 envelopes

So Rasel and Ali together can fill in 1 minutes = (45 + 30) = 75 envelopes

∴ 75 envelopes can fill in 1 minutes
∴ 1 envelopes can fill in 1/75 minutes
∴ 300 envelopes can fill in (1 × 300)/75 minutes
= 4 minutes

Question: A takes 2 hours 30 minutes more than B to walk 40 km. If A doubles his speed, then he can make it in 1 hour less than B. What is the average time taken by A and B to walk a 40 km distance?

Solution: 
(40/A) - (40/B) = 5/2 . . . . . . . (i)
(40/B) - (40/2A) = 1 . . . . . . . (ii)

Equation (i) + Equation (ii)
(40/A) - (40/2A) = (5/2) - 1
⇒ (40/A) - (40/2A) = 7/2
⇒ 40/2A = 7/2
⇒ A = 40/7

Putting the value of A in equation (i)
7 - (40/B) = 5/2
⇒ 7 - (5/2) = 40/B
⇒ 9/2 = 40/B
⇒ B = 80/9

Now, 
Total time = [40/(40/7)] + [40/(80/9)]

Question: Three pipes A, B and C are connected to a tank. Out of the three, A and B are the inlet pipes and C is the outlet pipe. If opened separately, A fills the tank in 10 hours and B fills the tank in 30 hours. If all three are opened simultaneously, it takes 30 minutes extra than if only A and B are opened. How much time does it take to empty the tank if only C is opened?

Solution:
Let the capacity of tank be LCM (10, 30) = 30 units
⇒ Efficiency of pipe A = 30/10 = 3 units/hour
⇒ Efficiency of pipe B = 30/30 = 1 units/hour
∴ Combined efficiency of pipes A and B = 4 units/hour

Therefore, time taken to completely fill the tank if only A and B are opened = 30/4 = 7 hours 30 minutes
∴ Time taken to completely fill the tank if all pipes are opened = 7 hours 30 minutes + 30 minutes = 8 hours
∴ Combined efficiency of all pipes = 30/8 = 3.75 units/hour
Now,
efficiency of pipe C = Combined efficiency of all three pipes - Combined efficiency of pipes A and B
Therefore, efficiency of pipe C = 4 - 3.75 = 0.25 units/hour

Thus, time taken to empty the tank if only C is opened = 30/0.25 = 120 hours.

Question: In the first hour of a two-hour trip, a car traveled d kilometers, and in the second hour of the trip, the car traveled one-half that distance. What is the average rate at which the car traveled during the trip, in kilometers per hour?

Solution:
1st hour , distance travelled by car = d km
2nd hour , distance travelled by car = d/2 km
Total distance = d + d/2 
= (2d + d)/2
= (3d)/2

Average speed = Total distance/Time
= (3d/2)/2
= (3d)/4

Question: If the price of a commodity is decreased by 20% and its consumption is increased by 20%, what will be the increase or decrease in expenditure on the commodity?

Solution:
Let,
The initial expenditure on the commodity be Tk. 100.
Now, the price decreases by 20%,
∴ Current Price = (100 - 20% of 100) = Tk. 80.

Same time due to decrements in price 20% consumption has been increased.
So, Current expenses on commodity = (80 + 20% of 80) = Tk. 96.

Here,
The initial expenditure was Tk. 100 which became Tk. 96 at the end, it means there is 4% decrements in the expenditure of the commodity.

The average age of a group of 15 employees is 24 years.
Therefore, the sum of the ages of all 15 of them is, 15 × 24 = 360
When 5 more employees join the group, the average age increases by 2 years.
So, New average = 26.
Now, there are 20 employees.
The sum of the ages of everyone = 20×26 = 520
Therefore, the sum of the ages of the 5 new employees = 520 - 360 = 160
∴ The average age of the 5 new employees = 160/5 = 32 years.

Question: A lady grows cabbage in her garden that is in the shape of a square. Each cabbage takes 1 square foot of area in her garden. This year, she has increased her output by 211 cabbages when compared to last year. The shape of the area used for growing the cabbage has remained a square in both these years. How many cabbages did she produce this year?

Solution:
The shape of the area used for growing cabbages has remained a square in both the years.
Let the side of the square area used for growing cabbages this year be X ft.
Therefore, the area of the ground used for cultivation this year = X2 sq.ft.

Let the side of the square area used for growing cabbages last year be Y ft.
Therefore, the area of the ground used for cultivation last year = Y2 sq.ft.

As the number of cabbages grown has increased by 211, the area would have increased by 211 sq ft because each cabbage takes 1 sq ft space.
Hence,
X2 - Y2 = 211
⇒(X + Y)(X - Y) = 211.
211 is a prime number and hence it will have only two factors. i.e., 211 and 1.
Therefore, 211 can be expressed as product of 2 numbers in only way = 211 × 1
i.e., (X + Y)(X - Y) = 211 × 1

So, (X + Y) should be 211 and (X - Y) should be 1.
Solving the two equations we get X = 106 and Y = 105.

Therefore, number of cabbages produced this year = X2 = 1062 = 11236.

Solution: 
ধরি, দাম কমানোর আগে x টি প্রেশার কুকার বিক্রি হতো ও প্রত্যেকটির দাম = y টাকা 
মোট বিক্রয়মূল্য = xy টাকা 

দাম কমানোর পরে, প্রেশার কুকার বিক্রি হয় = x + x এর 80%
= x + (80x/100)
= x + (4x/5)
= 9x/5

প্রত্যেকটির দাম = y - y এর 20%
= y - (20y/100)
= y - (y/5)
= 4y/5

মোট বিক্রয়মূল্য = (9x/5) × (4y/5)
= 36xy/25

লাভ = (36xy/25) - xy
= (36 - 25)xy/25
= 11xy/25

∴ শতকরা লাভ = (11xy/25xy) × 100%

The average of 4 positive integers 60.
The sum of 4 positive integers is = 60 × 4 = 240
Given the two numbers are 83 and 29.
The difference between the remaining two integers is 28

Now,
Let higher integer number is x and other is (x - 28)

According to the question,
⇒ 83 + 29 + x + x - 28 = 240
⇒ 2x = 240 + 28 - 83 - 29
⇒ 2x = 156
⇒ x = 156/2
∴ x = 78
Thus, the higher of the remaining two integers is 78.
