Q-1: Three partners A, B & C start a business. Twice the investment of

A is equal to thrice the capital of B is 4 times the capital of C. They
share the profit in the ratio of their capital. In a particular year, the
gross profit is Tk. 250000 and the administrative expenses are 20 % of
the gross profit. Find the share of profit each partner.
[Bangladesh Bank Asst. Director – 2010-(Written)]
Solution :
Ratio of investment , A : B ⇒ 3 : 2
Ratio of investment , B : C ⇒ 4 : 1
So , The ratio of investment , A : B : C ⇒ 6 : 4 : 1
Sum of the terms of the ratio of investment ⇒ (6+4+1) = 11

4
Profit excluding administrative Expenses ⇒ 250000× = 200000
5
6
A’s share of profit ⇒ 200000×11 = 109090.909 ≈ Tk. 109090
4
B’s share of profit ⇒ 200000×11 = 27727.2728 ≈ Tk.27727
1
C’s share of profit ⇒ 200000×11 = 18181.8182 ≈ Tk. 18181

Q-2 : A boy purchased some chocolates from a shop for Tk 120. In the
next shop he found that the price of per piece chocolate is Tk 3 less than
that charged at the previous shop, as such he could have purchased 2
more chocolates. How many chocolates did he buy from the first shop?
Solution :
Let , A boy purchased ‘N’ chocolates from a shop for Tk. 120.
120
So , The price of per piece chocolate ⇒ N
120
In the next shop , price of each chocolate ⇒ N+2
120 120
ATQ , − =3
N N+2
⇒ 120(N+2) – 120N = 3(N² + 2N)
⇒ 120N+240– 120N = 3N² + 6N
⇒ N² + 2N – 80 = 0
⇒ N² + 10N – 8N – 80 = 0
⇒ N(N+10) – 8(N+10) = 0
⇒ (N+10)(N-8) = 0
Here , N = 8 and N ≠ - 10
Therefore , he purchased 8 chocolates from the shop [Ans.]

Q-3 : Tanim bought some oranges. He gave 𝟐 of them to his sister,𝟒 of
𝟑
the remainder to his neighbour, 𝟓of those left to his children and had 6
left in the end. How many oranges did Tanim buy?
Solution :
Let , Tanim bought ‘T’ oranges .
1 3 2
ATQ , T × 2 × × =6
4 5
⇒ 3T = 6×20
⇒ T = 40
Therefore , Tanim bought 40 oranges [Ans.]
Alternate approach :
Let , The total oranges be 200
1
After giving his sister , remaining oranges ⇒ 200 – 20×2 = 100
1
After giving his neighbour , remaining oranges ⇒ 100 – 100× = 75
4
3
After giving his children , remaining oranges ⇒ 75 – 75×5 = 30
Now , 30 units ≡ 6 oranges ; Then , 200 units ≡ 40 oranges [Ans.]
Q-4 : A person sold two articles. Each for the same price of Tk. 1040.
He incurs 20% loss on the first and 10% loss on the second. Find his
overall percentage

[Bangladesh Bank Officer- 2015-(Written)]

Solution :
CP₁ : SP₁ ⇒ 5 : 4 = 45 : 36
CP₂ : SP₂ ⇒ 10 : 9 = 40 : 36
Total CP ⇒ (45+40) = 85 units ; Total SP ⇒ (36+36) = 72 units
Loss ⇒ (85 – 72) = 13
13
Therefore , % Loss ⇒ (85)×100 = 15.29% [Ans.]
5
At 20% loss , Cost price ⇒ 1040× = Tk.1300
4
10
At 10% loss , Cost price ⇒ 1040× 9 = Tk. 1155.5
Sum of selling price of two articles ⇒ (1300+1155.56) = Tk. 2355.5
So , Loss = (2355.5 - 1040×2) = Tk. 375.5
375.5
Therefore, %Loss = 2355.5 i.e. 15.29% [Ans.]
Q-5 : The annual incomes and expenditures of a man and his wife are
in the ratios 5:3 and 3:1, respectively. If they decide to save equally and
find a balance of Tk. 4000 at the end of the year, what was their income?
[Bangladesh Bank Officer- 2015-(Written)]
Solution :
Income ratio , Man : Wife ⇒ 5 : 3

Expenditure ratio , Man : Wife ⇒ 3 : 1
Now , (5 – 3) i.e. 2 units ≡ Tk. 2000

2000×5
Then , 5 units ≡ = Tk. 5000
2
Similarly , 3 units is equivalent to Tk. 4000

Another approach :
Let , The income of a man and his wife be 5a , 3a respectively.
5a−2000 3
ATQ , 3a−2000 = 1
⇒ 9a – 6000 = 5a – 2000
⇒ 4a = 4000
⇒ a = 1000
So, The income of a man ⇒ 5×1000 = Tk. 5000
Income of his wife = (4×1000) = Tk. 4000

Q-6 : A shop stocks four types of caps, there are 𝟑 as many red caps as
𝟏
blue caps and as many green caps as red caps. There are equal
𝟐
number of green caps and yellow caps. If there are 42 blue caps, then
what percent of the total caps in the shop are blue?
[Bangladesh Bank officer – 2015-(Written)]
Solution :

1
Here , Blue caps 42 . So , Red caps ⇒ 42×3 = 14
1
Green caps ⇒ 14×2 = 7 ; Therefore , Yellow caps = 7
Now , Total caps ⇒ (42+14+7+7) = 70

42
Hence , Blue% = (70) × 100 = 60% [Ans. ]
Q-7 : If the sum of five consecutive integers is S, what is the largest of

those integers in terms of S?
[Bangladesh Banks Ass. Director – 2004(Written)]
Solution :
ATQ , N + (N+1) + (N+2) + (N+3) + (N+4) = S
⇒ 5N + 10 = S
S−10
⇒N= 5
S−10 S+10
So ,The largest integers ⇒ +4= [Ans. ]
5 5
Q-8 : The difference between two numbers is five and the difference of
their squares is 65. What is the larger number?
[Bangladesh Bank – Exams –(Written)]
Solution :
Let ,The smaller number be ‘N’ . So ,The largest number ⇒ (N+5)

Now , (N+5)² - N² = 65
⇒ N² + 10N + 25 – N² = 65
⇒ 10N = 40
⇒N=4
Therefore , the largest number ⇒ ( 4+5) = 9 [Ans.]
Q-9 : Robi drove 100 miles to visit a friend. If he had driven 8 miles per
𝟓
hour faster than he did, he would have arrived in of the time, he
𝟔
actually took. How many minutes did the trip take?
[Bangladesh Bank Asst. Director – (Written)]
Solution :
Time ratio ⇒ 6 : 5
Speed ratio ⇒ 5 : 6 [Time and speed are inversely proportional]
Now , (6 – 5) i.e. 1 unit ≡ 8 kmph ; Then , 5 units ≡ 40 kmph
100
Therefore , actual time ⇒ i.e. 2.5 hours i.e. 150 minutes [Ans.]
40
Let , The actual time be ‘6t’ hours
100 100
Now , − =8
5t 6t
⇒ 100×6 – 100×5 = 8×30t

100 5
⇒t= =
240 12

5
So, actual time = 6×12 = 2.5 hours i.e. 150 minutes [Ans.]
Q-10 : Of the three numbers, second is twice the first and is also thrice
the third. If the average of the three numbers is 44, then what will be
the largest number?
[Bangladesh Bank Asst. Director – (Written)]
Solution :
First : Second ⇒ 1 : 2 = (1 : 2)×3 = 3 : 6
Second : Third ⇒ 3 : 1 = (3 : 1)×2 = 6 : 2
So , The ratio of numbers , F : S : T ⇒ 3 : 6 : 2

Now , (3+6+2) i.e. 11 units ≡ 3×44 ; Then , 6 [largest] units ≡ 72 [Ans.]
Q-11 : a, b, c, d, e are 5 consecutive numbers in increasing order,

deleting one of them from the set decreased the sum of the remaining
numbers by 20% of the sum of 5. Which one of the number is deleted
from the set
[Bangladesh Bank Asst. Director -2014 , 12-(Written)]
Solution :
Here , 5 numbers be N , (N+1) , (N+2) , (N+3) , (N+4)
So , Sum of numbers ⇒ (5N+10)

4
ATQ , (5N+10) – R = (5N+10)×5
⇒ 25N + 50 – 5R = 20N + 40
⇒ R = N +2
So , The deleted number N+2 [Ans.]

𝟏
After that another man joined them and they all complete the next 𝟒 th
of the job in 2 days. How many men can complete the whole job in 4
days? [Bangladesh Bank Asst. Director -2014-(Written)]
Solution :
Here , (2M + 5W)×4×3 = (3M + 5W)×4×2
⇒ 6M + 15W = 6M + 10W
⇒ M : W ⇒ 5 : 0 [Efficiency]
So, total work be ⇒ (2×5+5×0)×4×3 = 120 units
120
Therefore , Required men ⇒ 5×4 = 6 [Ans.]

ATQ , [(52 – Y) + 4]×3 + 3 = 25
⇒ 104 – 2Y + 8 = 66
⇒ Y = 23 [Ans.]
Q-15 : A,B and C do a job alone in 20, 30, and 60 days respectively. In
how many days can A do the job he is assisted by B & C?
Solution :
Let , the total work be 60 units [LCM of 20 , 30 , 60)

60 60 60
So , Efficiency , A : B : C ⇒ 20 : 30 : 60 = 3 : 2 : 1 [Units per day]
Sum of the terms of the ratio of efficiency ⇒ (3+2+1) = 6 units

60
Therefore , required time ⇒ = 10 days [Ans.]

increased by 4 inches and the width is decreased by 3 inches, a new
rectangle is formed whose perimeter is 62 inches. What is the length of
the original rectangle?
Solution :
Let , the width of a rectangle be ‘W’ inches .
So , The length of a rectangle is 2W inches .
ATQ , 2×[(2W+4)+(W-3)] = 62
⇒ 3W+1 = 31
⇒ W = 10
Therefore , The length of the original rectangle ⇒ (10×2) = 20 inches
Q-19 : The length of rectangular plot is greater than its breadth by 20

meters. If the perimeter of the plot is 160 meters, what is the area of the
plot in square meters?

Solution :
ATQ , 2×[(B+20) + B] = 160
⇒ 2B + 20 = 80
⇒ B = 30
So , The length of the rectangular ⇒ (30+20) = 50

Therefore ,The area of the plot ⇒ 50×30 = 1500 Sq. Meters [Ans.]

days. If they get Tk 4500 for whole work, how should they divide
money?
[Bangladesh Bank Asst. Director (FF) -2015(Written)]
Solution :
Let , the total work be 30 units [LCM of 10 , 15]
So , Efficiency , A : B ⇒ 3 : 2
In 5 days , Done by A ⇒ 3×5 = 15 units

In 5 days , Done by B ⇒ 2×5 = 10 units
Remaining work ⇒ [30 – (15+10)] i.e. 5 units , done by C
So , Work ratio , A : B : C ⇒ 15 : 10 : 5 = 3 : 2 : 1

Therefore , A : B : C ⇒ (3 : 2 : 1)×750 = 2250 : 1500 : 750 [Ans.]

Now , 5×2% ≡ 2100 ; Then , 100% ≡ 21000 [Ans.]
Q-29 : A bus hired at the cost of Tk. 2400 and it was decided that every
student would share the cost equally. But 10 more students jointed and
as a result the fare decreased by Tk. 8 per person. How many students
were travelling in the bus?
Solution :
Let , The total students be ‘T’ and Increased students (T+10).
2400 2400
ATQ , − T+10 = 8
T
⇒ 300(T + 10) – 300T = T² + 10T

⇒ T² + 10T – 3000 = 0
⇒ T² + 60T – 50T – 3000 = 0
⇒ T(T + 60) – 50(T + 60) = 0

⇒ (T + 60)(T – 50) = 0
Here , T = 50 and T ≠ - 60
So , Total students is 50 .
Therefore , increased student ⇔ (50+10) i.e. 60 [Ans.]
Q-30 : The average age of students of a class is 15.8 years. The average
age of boys in the class is 16.4 years and of the girls is 15.4 years. Find
the ratio of number of boys to the number of girls in the class.
Solution :
ATQ , 16.4×B + 15.4×G = 15.8×(B + G)
⇒ 16.4B – 15.8B = 15.8G – 15.4G
⇒ 0.6B = 0.4G
⇒ B : G = 2 : 3 [Ans.]
Applying rule of Alligation :
164 --------------- 158 --------------- 154
Therefore , (158 – 154) : (164 – 158) = 4 : 6 = 2 : 3 [Ans.]
Q-31 : Mr. X has a investable amount of Tk 100000, he will invest the

amount for two years. He has two options. He can invest at simple

interest rate of 12% per annum; alternatively he can invest at

compound rate of 10% (compounded semi annually). Calculate the
earnings at two option and advice him accordingly.
Solution :
Here , Simple interest in 2 yrs. ⇒ 100000×12%×2 = Tk. 24000
10% 4
Amount at compound ⇒ 100000×(1 + )
2
21 21 21 21
= 100000×20 × 20 × 20 × 20 = 121550.6
So , The compound interest ⇒ (100000 – 121550.6) = 21550.6
Therefore , Simple interest is better than compound interest.
Q-32 : 9. Mr. X pays 10% tax on all income over Tk. 60000 but he does
not pay any tax on interest on postal saving certificate. In 2000 he paid
Tk. 7500 as tax & he earned Tk. 12000 as interest on postal savings
account. What is his net income in 2000?
Solution :
Here , 10% ≡ Tk. 7500 ; Then , 100% ≡ Tk. 75000
So , Total income ⇒ (75000+60000+12000) = 147000
Therefore , Net income ⇒ (147000 – 7500) = Tk. 139500 [Ans.]

Q-33 : Mr. Reach sold two properties P1 & P2 for Tk 50000 each. He
sold property P1 for 20% more then what he paid for it & sold P2 less
than 20% what he paid for it. What was his total gain or loss, if any, on
the scale of two properties?
Solution :
1
Here , 20% = 5
CP₁ : SP₁ ⇒ 5 : 6 ⇒ (5 : 6)×2 = 10 : 12

CP₂ : SP₂ ⇒ 5 : 4 ⇒ (5 : 4)×3 = 15 : 12
Here , Loss = (10+15) – (12+12) = 1 unit

Now , 12 units ≡ Tk. 50000 ; Then 1 unit ≡ Tk. 4166.67 [Ans.]
20×20
20 – 20 - = - 4% [-Ve means loss]
100
5 5
Sum of cost price ⇒ 50000×4 + 50000×6 = 104166.7
4
Therefore , Loss ⇒ 104166.67×100 = Tk. 4166.67 [Ans.]
Q-35 : Mr. X, a sales person earns 5% commission on all sales between

Tk.20000 and 40000 and 8% on all sales exceeding Tk.40000 in a
month. He does not earn any commission if sales in a month amount to
less than Tk. 20000. His monthly salary is Tk. 60000 , he has to pay tax

20% tax on his basic salary but no tax on commission ,in April 2001,the
total net income (salary +commission) of the sales person was Tk 65000.
How much were the sales in April?
Solution :
4
Here , Actual income ⇒ 60000×5 = Tk. 48000
So , Commission ⇒ (65000 – 48000) i.e. Tk. 17000
ATQ , 40000×5% + 8%×(Q - 40000) = 17000
⇒ 200000 + 8Q – 320000 = 1700000
⇒ Q = 227500
Therefore , the sales in April is Tk.227500 [Ans.]

𝟏
profit comes from pencil is 𝟑 times the profit made by selling a pen. If
he makes a profit of Tk 900 in a month by selling pencils, how much
profit does he make per month by selling pens? The trader sells 30 days
in a month.
[Bangladesh Bank Asst. Director-2001-(Written)]
Solution :
In 30 days , Sum of pencils ⇒ 18×30 = 540
In 30 days , Sum of pens ⇒ 12×30 = 360
900 5
Profit made by selling a pencils ⇒ 540 = 3
5
So , Profit made by selling a pen ⇒ 3 × 3 = 5
Therefore , profit in a month by selling pens ⇒ 360× 5 = Tk. 1800

Q-41 : Karim and Rahim have equal amount of money. Radha has half
of Rahim’s money and Amena has half of Radha’s money. If you add
one taka with all the money they have, it will be Tk.100.How much
Rahim has?
Solution :
Radha : Rahim ⇒ 1 : 2 = (1 : 2)×2 = 2 : 4
Amena : Radha ⇒ 1 : 2 = (1 : 2)×1 = 1 : 2
So , Radha : Rahim : Amena : Karim ⇒ 2 : 4 : 1 : 4
Let , Radha , Rahim , Amena and Karim have be 2T , 4T , T , 4T
ATQ , (2T+4T+T+4T) + 1 = 100
⇒ 11T = 99 ⇒ T = 9
Therefore , Rahim has TK. (9×4) = 36 [Ans.]
Q-42 : A Group of students has hired a bus for Taka 3000 for going to
a picnic. They had an understanding that each participant would share
the charge in equal amounts. But because of 10 students not turning up,
the charged per student increased by Taka 10 over the initial estimates.
What was the number of students who originally registered for the
picnic?
Solution :

Let , The number of students who originally registered be ‘T’

3000 3000
ATQ , T−10 − = 10
T
⇒T² - 10T = 300T – 300(T – 10)

⇒ T² - 10T – 3000 = 0
⇒ T² - 60T + 50T – 3000 = 0
⇒ T(T – 60) + 50(T – 60) = 0
⇒ (T – 60)(T + 50) = 0
Here , T = 60 ; [T = - 50 , But it is not acceptable -Ve sign]
Therefore , 60 students who are originally registered [Ans.]
Q-43 : Abir can do a piece of work in 80 days. He works for 10 days

and then Basher alone finishes the rest of the work in 42 days. How
much time would it take for the two of them together to complete the
whole work?

Here , 80×Abir = 10×Abir + 42×Basher
⇒ Abir : Basher = 3 : 5 [Efficiency]
So, Total work be (80×3) = 240 Units.

240
Required time ⇒ 3+5 = 30 days [Ans.]
Q-44 : The sum of the pay of two officers is Taka 24,000 per month. If
the pay of one officer is decreased by 9% and the pay of the second is
increased by 17%, their pays become equal. Find the pay of each
officer.
Solution :
ATQ , T×91% = (2400 – T)×117%
⇒ 208T = 2400×117
⇒ T = 1350
The pay of another officer = (2400 – 1350) = Tk. 1050 [Ans.]
Q-45 : A trader, while selling an item, was asking for such a price that

Q-46 : A square office, 1000 feet by 1000 feet, is to be partitioned into

two offices by a single interior wall. The difference between the
perimeters of the resulting two officers is be 400 feet. What are their
dimensions?
Solution :
ATQ , 2×(P+ 1000) – 2×[1000 + (1000 – P)] = 400
⇒ 2P + 2000 – 4000 + 2P = 400
⇒ 4P = 2400
⇒ P = 600
Therefore , the other partition ⇒ (1000 – 600) = 400 Feet
Hence , Their dimension are (1000×600) i.e. 600000 Sq. Feet [Ans.]
Q-47 : Mr. Zaman won an election where the ratio of his votes and those
of his opponent, Mr. Yunus, was 4:3.The total number of voters was
581, of which 91 did not vote. Calculate the margin of votes by which
Mr. Yunus was defeated?

Solution :
The ratio of Vote of Mr. Zaman and Mr. Yunus ⇒ 4 : 3
Sum of the terms of the ratio of votes ⇔ (4+3) = 7 units
Now , 7 units ≡ (581 - 91) i.e. 490 ; Then , (4 – 3) i.e. 1 units ≡ 70 vote
Q-48 : A man deposits Tk. 1000 in a bank at 8% interest rate

compounded annually. At the end of the 3rd year, what will be the total
amount including interest?
Solution :
The total amount including interest ⇒ 1000×(1+8%)³
27 27 27
= 1000×25 × 25 × 25 = Tk. 1259.712 [Ans.]
Q-49 : Recently Kamal's hourly wage has been increased by 10%.

Before this increase, Kamal's total weekly wage was Tk. 137. If his
weekly working hours were to decrease by 10% from last week's total
working hours, what would be the change, if any, in Kamal's total
weekly wage?
Solution :
Here , Previous wages : Increased wages ⇒ 10 : 11
Previous time : Decreased time ⇒ 10 : 9

Now , Previous total weekly wage = (10×10) = Tk. 100

Present total weekly wage = (11×9) = Tk. 99
Here , Decreased wages / change ⇒ (100 – 99) = 1%

So , weekly decrease wage = 137×1% = Tk. 1.37 [Ans.]
𝟏𝟎
Q-50 : Find the value of ‘a’ if (a - 3) = 𝐚
Solution :
10
Here , (a – 3) = a
⇒ a² - 3a – 10 = 0
⇒ a² - 5a + 2a – 10 = 0
⇒ a(a – 5) + 2(a – 5) = 0
⇒ (a – 5)(a + 2) = 0
Therefore , a = 5 and a = -2 [Ans.]
Q-51 : Find the value of ‘x’ if (2x² - 1) = (3x² - 2x)


Solution :
Here , 2x² - 1 = 3x² - 2x
⇒ x² - 2x + 1 = 0
⇒ (x – 1)² = 0
⇒ (x – 1) = 0
Therefore , x = 1 [Ans.]
Q-52 : After travelling 108 km, a cyclist observed that he would have
required 3 hrs less if he could have travelled at a speed 3 km/hr more.
At what speed did he travel?
Solution :
108 108
ATQ , − S+3 = 3
S
⇒ S(S + 3) = 36(S+3) – 36S

⇒ S² + 3S – 108 = 0
⇒ S² + 12S – 9S – 108 = 0
⇒ S(S + 12) – 9(S + 12) = 0
⇒ (S + 12)(S – 9) = 0
Here , [S = - 12 it is not acceptable] and S = 9
Therefore , required speed 9 km/hr. [Ans.]

them work daily and the rest work in every alternative day, How many
more days will be required to complete the project?
[Bangladesh Bank Asst. Director – 2018 – (Written)]
Solution :
T
Here , 30×T + (50 – 30)×2 = 50×40
⇒ 40T = 50×40 ⇒ T = 50 days
Required more days ⇒ (50 – 40) i.e. 10 days [Ans.]
Q-54 : 3 coins are tossed at random. Construct the sample space and
find the probability of getting
(i) One head two tails.
(ii) One tail.

Here , 2³ = 8 ;
Such as ⇒ (HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT)
(i) Number of possible outcomes ⇒ (2)³ = 8
Here , Favourable outcome ⇒ (THT , HTT , TTH ) i.e. 3

3
So , The probability of getting one head and two tails ⇒ 8 [Ans. ]
(ii) Number of possible outcomes ⇒ 8

Here , Favourable outcomes ⇒ (HHT, HTH, THH) i.e. 3
3
Therefore , probability of getting one tail ⇒ 8 [Ans. ]
(iii) Number of possible outcomes = 8

Here , Favourable outcomes ⇒ (HHT, HTH, THH) i.e. 3
3
So , The probability of getting one tail and two heads ⇒ 8 [Ans. ]
Q-55 : A senior Citizen invests Tk.50 lac in a fixed deposit scheme at

11.5% annual interest for six months. In every six months he withdraws
Tk. 2 lac from his principal plus interest earned. What will be his
principal amount to invest after two years?
Solution :
Here , 2 years ⇒ (2×12) = 24 months
2×24
So, the withdrawn amount after two years ⇒ Lac = 8 Lac
6
Therefore, his principle amount after 2 years ⇒ (50 – 8) Lac = 42 Lac [Ans.]
