Question: Tamim has a certain average for 9 innings. In the tenth innings, he scores 100 runs thereby increasing his average by 8 runs. His new average is:

Solution:
Let Tamim's average be x for 9 innings.
So, Tamim scored 9x runs in 9 innings.

In the 10th inning, he scored 100 runs then the average became (x + 8).
And he scored (x + 8) × 10 runs in 10 innings.

ATQ,
9x + 100 = 10 × (x + 8)
or, 9x + 100 = 10x + 80
or, x = 100 - 80
or, x = 20

New average = (x + 8) = 28 runs.

  3. 120
  4. 100
সঠিক উত্তর:
160
উত্তর
সঠিক উত্তর:
160
ব্যাখ্যা

Let the number is = 100x

Now after 15% of increase = 100x + 15% of 100x = 115x
Now 25% decrease = 115x - 25% of 115x = 115x - 28.75x = 86.25x

Actual decreased = 100x - 86.25x = 13.75x

According to the question,
13.75x = 22
⇒ x = 22/13.75
⇒ 100x = (22/13.75) × 100
⇒ 100x = 160.

∴ Original number = 160.

Question: Having scored 117 runs in the 19th innings Tamim increase his average score by 5. What will be his average score after the 19th innings?

Solution: 
Let, 
Tamim's average score after the 19th innings is x
∴ Tamim's total score after 19th innings = 19x

Tamim's Total score after 18th innings = 19x - 117
∴ Tamim's average score after the 18th innings was (19x - 117)/18

ATQ,
(19x - 117)/18 = x - 5
⇒ 19x - 117 = 18x - 90
⇒ 19x - 18x = 117 - 90
∴ x = 27

His average score is 27

Question: Ratio of two number A and B is 3 : 2. If we decrease 60 from A and Add 60 with B then ratio of A and B is 18 : 17. Find original value of A?  

solution:
Given that,
Ratio of A : B = 3 : 2
If A decreased by 60 and B increased by 60
And new ratio = 18 : 17

Let A = 3x and B = 2x

ATQ,
{3x - 60}/{2x + 60} = {18}/{17}
⇒ 17(3x - 60) = 18(2x + 60)
⇒ 51x - 1020 = 36x + 1080
⇒ 51x - 36x = 1080 + 1020
⇒ 15x = 2100
∴ x = 140

∴ Original value of A = 3x = 3 × 140 = 420

∴ The original value of A = 420.

Question: A car moves from Dhaka to Cumilla at the original speed at 60 kmph and reached Cumilla in 20 minutes late. If the car increased speed by one fourth of his original speed reached Cumilla on time, find the distance between Dhaka and Cumilla?

Solution:
Let distance = d km.
Original speed = 60 km/h. So time taken = d/60 hours.

But it is 20 minutes late. That means the scheduled time T (in hours) is such that d/60 = T + (20/60) = T + (1/3).

And
When speed is increased by one fourth. So new speed = 60 + (1/4) × 60 = 60 + 15 = 75 km/h.
Then time taken = d/75. And this equals T (on time).

So we have,
d/60 = T + 1(/3) .........(1)
d/75 = T ..........(2)

Now, subtract the second equation from the first,
(d/60) - (d/75) = 1/3
⇒ (5d - 4d)/300 = 1/3
⇒ d = 300/3
∴ d = 100 km

∴ Distance between Dhaka and Cumilla = 100 km

Question: In an arithmetic sequence, the 4th term is 20 and the 10th term is 44. Find the first term is-

Solution:
Given that,
4th term = 20
10th term = 44

We use general formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence, Tn = a + (n - 1)d
Now,
From 4th term, T4 = a + 3d =20 .........(1)
From10th term, T10 = a + 9d = 44.......(2)

Subtract (1) from (2),
(a + 9d) - (a + 3d) = 44 - 20
⇒ 6d = 24
⇒d = 24/6
∴ d = 4
Put value the of d = 4 into equation (1)
⇒ a + 3 × 4 = 20
⇒ a + 12 = 20
⇒ a = 20 - 12
∴ a = 8
So the first term is 8

Question: A cuboidal room has its length, breadth, and height increased by 10%, 20%, and 50% respectively. Calculate the percentage change in the volume of the cuboid.

Solution:
Let,
Each side of the cuboid be 10 unit initially.
Initial Volume of the cuboid,
= length × breadth × height
= 10 × 10 × 10
= 1000 cubic unit.

After increment dimensions become,
Length = (10 + 10% of 10) = 11 unit.
Breadth = (10 + 20% of 10) = 12 unit.
Height = (10 + 50% of 10) = 15 unit.

Now, present volume = 11 × 12 × 15 = 1980 cubic unit.
Increase in volume = 1980 - 1000 = 980 cubic unit.
∴ percentage increase in volume = (980/1000) × 100 = 98%

Solution:
Let the cistern be filled by pipe P alone in x hours.
Then, pipe Q will fill it in (x + 6) hours.

ATQ,
⇒ (1/x) + {1/(x + 6)} = 1/4
⇒ (x + 6 + x)/{x(x + 6)} = 1/4
⇒ (2x + 6)/x(x + 6) = 1/4
⇒ x2 - 2x - 24 = 0
⇒ (x - 6)(x + 4) = 0
∴ x = 6     ; [neglecting the negative value of x]

∴ Pipe P alone can fill the cistern in 6 hours.

প্রশ্ন: ৫ বছর পূর্বে পিতা পুত্রের বয়সের অনুপাত ছিল ৩ : ১ আর ১৫ বছর পরে পিতা পুত্রের বয়সের অনুপাত হবে ২ : ১। পিতা ও পুত্রের বর্তমান বয়স কত? 

সমাধান: 
ধরি,
পিতার বর্তমান বয়স ক বছর 
পুত্রের বর্তমান বয়স খ বছর 

শর্তমতে,
(ক - ৫) : (খ - ৫) = ৩ : ১ 
বা, (ক - ৫)/(খ - ৫) = ৩/১
বা, ক - ৫ = ৩(খ - ৫)
বা, ক - ৫ = ৩খ - ১৫
∴ ক = ৩খ - ১০  ...................................(1)

আবার শর্তমতে,
(ক + ১৫) : (খ + ১৫) = ২ : ১
বা, (ক + ১৫)/(খ + ১৫) = ২/১
বা, ক + ১৫ = ২(খ + ১৫)
বা, ক + ১৫ = ২খ + ৩০
বা, ক = ২খ + ১৫  .................................(2)

(1) ও (2) নং থেকে পাই,
৩খ - ১০ = ২খ + ১৫
বা, খ = ২৫ 

খ এর মান (2) নং এ বসিয়ে পাই, 
ক = ২ × ২৫ + ১৫
বা, ক = ৫০ + ১৫ 
∴ ক = ৬৫

∴ পিতার বর্তমান বয়স ৬৫ বছর 
পুত্রের বর্তমান বয়স ২৫ বছর

Question: Find the cost of a cylinder of radius 7 m and hight 3.5 m when the cost of its metal is Tk. 50 per cubicmettre?

Solution:
Given that,
Radius of the cylinder, r = 7 m
Height of the cylinder, h = 3.5 m
Cost per cubic meter = Tk. 50

We know,
The volume of a cylinder is,
V = πr2h = (22/7) × (7)2 × 3.5 = 22 × 7 × 3.5 = 539 cubic meters

∴ Total Cost = Volume × Cost per cubic meter = 539 × 50 = 26,950

∴ The cost of the cylinder is Tk. 26,950

Question: Three taps A, B, C can fill an overhead tank in 4, 6 and 12 hours respectively. How long would the three taps take to fill the tank if all of them are opened together?

Solution:
Work with rates (fraction of tank per hour).
A fills 1/4 per hour.
B fills 1/6 per hour.
C fills 1/12 per hour.
∴ Combined rate = 1/4 + 1/6 + 1/12
= (3 + 2 + 1)/12 
= 6/12
= 1/2 (tank per hour).

∴ Time to fill one tank = 1 ÷ (1/2) = 2 hours.

∴ The three taps would take 2 hours to fill the tank if all of them are opened together.

দূরত্বের সূত্র ব্যবহার করে AB-এর দৈর্ঘ্য নির্ণয় করি।
AB = √{(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2}
AB = √{(8 - 2)2 + (11 - 3)2}
AB = √(62 + 82)
AB = √(36 + 64)
AB = √100
AB = 10

Question: A man takes 20 minutes to row 12 km upstream which is a third more than the time he takes on his way downstream. What is his speed in still water?

Solution:
Let the speed in still water = x km/hr.
Takes 20 min. to row 12 km upstream 
∴ speed of u/s = 36 km/hr.
Also, time taken for u/s is 1/3 more than for d/s.
∴ distance covered in d/s will be 1/3 more.

Hence distance covered by man for d/s in 20 min. = 12 + (12/3) = 16 km.
So speed of d/s = 48 km/hr.

∴ x + y = 48
and x - y = 36

∴ x + y + x - y = 48 + 36
⇒ 2x = 84
⇒ x = 42 km/hr.

⇒ 7x - 5x = 5y - 4y
⇒ 2x = y
⇒ x/y = 1/2
⇒ x : y = 1 : 2

Hence, the required ratio is 1 : 2

Question: In the figure below, the value of y is -

Solution:
Here,
(2x)° = (y + 30)° [opposite angle]

And,
(2x)° + (3x)° = 180° [The sum of angles of a linear pair is always equal to 180°.]
⇒ (5x)° =  180°
∴ x = 36°

Now,
 (y + 30)° = (2x)°
⇒ (y + 30)° = (2 × 36)°
⇒ y = 72° - 30°
∴ y = 42°

Question: A machine produces 300 pens in 5/2 hours. How many pens can it produce in 50 minutes?

Solution:
দেওয়া আছে,
সময় = 5/2 ঘণ্টা = (5/2) × 60 = 150 মিনিট

150 মিনিটে কলম উৎপাদিত হয় = 300টি
1 মিনিটে কলম উৎপাদিত হয় = 300 / 150 = 2টি
50 মিনিটে কলম উৎপাদিত হয় = 2 × 50 = 100টি

∴ মেশিনটি 50 মিনিটে 100টি কলম উৎপাদন করতে পারবে।

Question: The speed of a boat down the stream is 125% of the speed in still water. If the boat takes 30 minutes to cover 20 km in still water, then how much time (in hours) will it take to cover 15 km upstream?

Solution: 
Given that, 
Speed downstream = 125% of speed in still water
Distance in still water = 20 km, time = 30 min = 0.5 hr
Distance to travel upstream = 15 km

Speed of boat in still water = Distance/Time = 20/0.5 = 40 km/h
And,
Downstream speed = 125% of still water speed.
∴ Downstream speed = 1.25 × 40 = 50 km/h 

We know,
Downstream speed = Boat speed in still water + Current speed 
⇒ 50 = 40 + Current speed 
⇒  Current speed = 50 - 40 = 10 km/h 

And upstream speed = Boat speed in still water - Current speed = 40 - 10 = 30 km/h 

∴ Time to cover 15 km upstream = Distance/Speed ​= 15/30 = 1/2 = 0.5 hours

So the time required for the boat to cover 15 km upstream is 0.5 hours.

14 persons can do a work in 18 days
After 5 days 6 workers left.
These 5 workers joined on the last day of work.

Concept used:
If each person can do 1unit of work per day then n persons can do 1 × n unit work per day.

Calculation:
Let each person can do 1 unit of work per day

So,
⇒ 14 persons can do = 1 × 14 = 14 units/day
⇒ In 18 days, 14 persons can do = 18 × 14 = 252 units (Total work to be done)

Now,
In first 5 days, 14 persons completed
⇒ 14 × 1 × 5 = 70 units
In last day, 14 persons competed
⇒ 14 × 1 = 14 units

Then,
the total work completed in 6 days = 84 units

Now,
Work left  =168 units
And persons left = 14 - 6 = 8 persons

So,
Time taken by 8 persons to complete to leftover work
⇒ 168/(8 × 1) = 21 days

So,
time taken to complete the whole work = 5 + 21 + 1 = 27 days

∴ The work got completed in 27 days.

Question: Three partners shared the profit in a business in the ratio 5 : 7 : 8. They had partnered for 14 months, 8 months and 7 months respectively. What was the ratio of their investments?

Solution:
Let their investments be Tk. x for 14 months, Tk. y for 8 months and Tk. z for 7 months respectively.
Then, 14x : 8y : 7z = 5 : 7 : 8.
Now,
14x/8y = 5/7
⇒ 98x = 40y
∴ y = (49/20) x

And,
14x/7z = 5/8
⇒ 112x = 35z
∴ z = (112/35) x = (16/5) x.

x : y : z = x : (49/20) x : (16/5) x = 20 : 49 : 64.
