x+y-x+y = 6-4

Or, 2y = 2

Or, y = 1

12. A milkman purchases the milk at Tk. x per liter and sells it Tk. 2x per liter still he mixes 2 liters water with every 6 liters of pure milk. What is the profit percentage?

A.    116%

B.     166.66%

C.     60%

D.    100%

উত্তর:  166.66%

Solution:

Let,

He purchases 6liters milk.

So, cost of 6 liters = 6x tk.

After mixing 2 liters waters, he sells , (6+2)= 8 liters

Now, selling price of 8 liters = 8 × 2x = 16x tk.

Profit = 16x – 6x = 10x tk.

Profit percentage = (10x/6x) × 100 = 166.66%

Or, x =525- 170

Or, x = 355

16. A water tank has two taps (Tap-1 and Tap 2). Tap-1 can fill a tank in 8 hours and Tap-2 can empty the tank in 16 hours. How long will they fill the tank if both taps are opened simultaneously but Tap-2 is closed after 8 hours?

10

12

14

16

উত্তর: 12

Solution:

Tap-1, fills in 1 hr =  1/8

Tap-2, empties in 1 hr = 1/16

When both taps are open, the tank fills in 1 hr = (1/8 – 1/16) = 1/16

In 8 hrs, the tank fills =  1/16 ×৪ = ½

Remaining = 1 – ½ = ½

½ is filled by only Tap 1

1/8 is filled by Tap-1 in 1 hr

So, ½ is filled by = (1×8)/2= 4 hr

Total time = 8+4 = 12 hr

C.     (44/3)×yr

D.    (20/3)×yr

উত্তর:  (50/3)×yr

Solution:

Let,

After x years their debts will be equal.

ATQ,

{800 × (6 × x)/ 100}+800 = {600 × (10 × x)/ 100}+600

⇒ 48x + 800 = 60x + 600

⇒ 60x – 48x = 800 – 600

⇒12x = 200

⇒ x = 50/3

19. The difference of two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and the 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number?

A.    270

C.     350

D.    720

উত্তর:  270

Solution:

Let,

Smaller number = x,

difference =1365

So, the larger number = (x +1365)

ATQ,

6x +15 = x+ 1365

Or, 5x = 1350

Or, x= 270

20. The product of two positive numbers is p. If each of the number is increased by 2, the new product is how much greater than twice the sum of the two original number?

(a) p times

(b) 2p times

(d) (2p + 3) times

উত্তর:  (p + 4) times

Solution:

Let,

One number is = x; other = y

xy = P —– (i)

(x + 2) (y + 2) = xy + 2y + 2x + y

xy + 2 (x + y) + 4 = xy + 4 + 2(x + y)

= P + 4 + 2(x + y)

The new result is (P+4) greater.

21. A and B together can do a piece of work in 40 days. A having worked for 20 days, finishes the remaining work alone in 60 days. In how many days shall B finish the whole work alone?

60 days

70 days

80 days

90 days

উত্তর:  C

Solution:

Let, A’s 1 day’s work = x and B’s 1 days work =y

Then,

x + y = 1/40 ——(1)

20x + 60y = 1 —-(2)

From (2) – (1)×20,

20x  + 60y – 20x -20y = 1 – ½

Or, 40y = ½

Or, y = 1/80

Therefore B’s 1 day work = 1/80

Hence, B alone finishes the work in 80 days

25. Three pipes A, B and C can fill a tank in 6 hours. After working at it together for 2 hours, C is closed and A and B can fill the remaining part in 6 hours. The number of hours taken by C alone to fill the tank is:

(a) 8 hours

(b) 10 hours

(c) 14 hours

(d) 18 hours

উত্তর:  18 hours

Solution:

A + B+C fill the tank in 6 hrs

A+B+C fill in 2 hrs = 2/6 = 1/3

Remaining = 1- 1/3 = 2/3

In 6 hrs A + B fill 2/3

In 1 hr A + B fill 2/3 × 1/6 = 1/9

Now C alone fill in 1 hr = 1/6 – 1/9 = 1/18

So, C needs 18 hrs to fill the tank.

26. If x=7 – 4√3 then find the value of x+1/x?

A.    3√3

B.     8√3

C.     14

D.    14 + 8√3

উত্তর:  14

Solution:

x =7 – 4√3

1/x = 1/(7 – 4√3) = (7 + 4√3)/ (7 – 4√3)( 7 + 4√3) = (7 + 4√3)/49-48 =(7 + 4√3)

x+1/x = 7 – 4√3 + 7 + 4√3 = 14

27. An employer pays 3 workers X, Y and Z a total of Tk. 36,600 a week. X is paid 125% of the amount Y is paid and 80% of the amount Z is paid. How much does X make a week?

A.    9,000

B.     12,000

C.     10,800

D.    11,700

উত্তর:  12,000

X= 125% of y = 125y/100 = 5y/4

Or, y = 4x/5

Again,

X= 80% of z = 80z/100 = 4z/5

Or, z= 5x/4

X:y:z = x:4x/5:5x/4 = 20:16:25

Sum of ratio = 20+16+25=61

So, x makes a week = 20/61 × 36600 = 20×600=12000

28. The volume of a rectangular solid is to be increased by 50% without altering its base. To what extent the height of the solid must be changed.

A.    50%

B.     40%

C.     30%

উত্তর:  50%

Solution:

Let,

Volume = LBH

ATC,

LBH + 50% of LBH

=LBH + LBH/2

Let, H is to bbe increased by x%

So,

LB(H+Hx/100) = LBH + LBH/2

Or, LBH + LBHx/100 = LBH + LBH/2

Or, LBHx/100 = LBH/2

Or, x/100= ½

Or, x = 50%

A.    62%

B.     42%

C.     82%

D.    None

Solution:

Let, length is = x so, area is = x2

40% increase in length = x+2x/5 =7x/5

30% increase in breadth = x+3x/10 =13x/10

Area = (7x/5)×( 13x/10) = 91x2/50

Increasing area = (91x2/50)- x2 = 41x2/50

Percentage = {(41x2/50) x2}×100 = (41/50)×100 = 82%

90. A circular wheel 28 inches in diameter rotates the same number of inches per second as a circular wheel 35 inches in diameter. If the smaller wheel makes x revolutions per second, how many revolutions per minutes does the larger wheel make in terms of x?

A.    12x

B.     24x

C.     36x

D.    48x

Solution:

For smaller wheel,

Circumference = 2×π×28/2 = 28π

Revolve in 1 second = x times

Revolve in 60 seconds = 60x times

So, distance = 28π×60x

For larger wheel,

Circumference = 2×π×35/2 = 35π

Let,

Revolve per minute = n

So, distance = 35πn

Now,

28π×60x = 35πn

Or, n=(28π × 60x)/35π

Or, n= 48x

A.    125%

B.     150%

C.     200%

D.    375%

Solution:

Let, the length of each side of the garden = 100

Area = 1002 = 10000

Area of 3 square = 3×10000 = 30000

50% increase of length = 100+100×50/100 = 150

Area = 1502 = 22500

Area of 3 square = 3×22500 = 67500

Increasing area = 67500-30000 =37500

Percentage = (37500×100)/30000=125%

Solution:

Let,

Rahim has = x stamps

So Karim has = 140% of x = 1.4x

ATQ,

110% of (1.4x-45) = x+45

Or, {11(1.4x – 45)/10} = x + 45

or, 15.4x-495 = 10x+450

or, 5.4x = 945

Or, x= 175

So, Karim has 175+ 40% of 175 = 175+70 = 245
