a pole in 18 and 12 seconds. The trains will cross each other in ?
A.14 sec B. 14.4 sec C. 13 sec D. 13.5 sec
Solution :
Time ratio , Tarin-1 : Train-2 ⇒ 18 : 12 = 3 : 2
Speed ratio, Tarin-1 : Train-2 ⇒ 2 : 3
Hence , Length of train ⇒ (18×2) = 36
36+36
Therefore , they will cross each other after ⇒ = 14.4 sec. [Ans.] - B
2+3

Solution :
Here , 112% of CP = 90% of MP ⇒ CP : MP = 45 :56 [Ans.] – A
Q-4 : If A and B together can complete a work in 18 days . A and C
together in 12 days. B and C together in 9 days, then B alone can do
the work in:
A. 24 days B. 18 days C. 12 days D. 23 days
Solution :
Let , the total work be 36 units [LCM of (18 , 12 , 9)]
36 36 36
Efficiency , (A+B) : (A+C) : (B+C) ⇒ 18 : 12 : 9 = 2 : 3 : 4 [Units per day]
2+3+4
Therefore , Efficiency of (A+B+C) ⇒ = 4.5 units per day
2
36
Hence , required time ⇒ 4.5−3 = 24 days [Ans.] – A
Another approach :
18×12×9
Time ⇒ (12×18+12×9+9×18) × 2 = 8 days

Q-5 : In a 729 litres mixture of milk and water, The ratio milk to water
7 : 2. To get a new mixture containing milk and water in the ratio 7:3,
the amount of water to be added is.
A. 100 L B. 81 L C. 102 L D. 95 L
Solution :
The ratio of milk to water ⇒ 7 : 2 [Initial mixture]
The ratio of milk to water ⇒ 7 : 3 [Final mixture]
Now , (7+2) i.e. 9 unit ≡ 729 L ; Then , (3-2) i.e. 1 unit ≡ 81 L [Ans.] - B

171× 9 × 19 = Tk. 200 [Ans.] – C
Q-7 : A tank can be filled with water by two pipes A and B together in
36 min. if the pipe B was stopped after 30 min, the tank is filled in 40
min. The pipe B can alone fill the tank :
A. 20 min B. 30 min C. 80 min D. 90 min
Solution :
Efficiency , A : B ⇒ 3 : 2
Now , 36×5 = 2×T ⇒ T = 90 minute [Ans.] – D
Q-8 : Six years ago , The ratio of the ages of kunal and sagor was 6 : 5
. For year hence , the ratio of their ages will be 11 : 10 .What is the sagor
age?
A. 16 years B. 15 years C. 14 years D. None
Solution :
Here , 10×(6T + 10) = 11×(5T + 10)
⇒ 60T + 100 = 55T + 110 ⇒T=2
Therefore , Age of Sagor ⇒ (5×2 + 6) = 16 [Ans.] – A

the tank in .
A. 20 hr. B. 10 hr. C. 30 hr. D. 14 hr.
Solution :
1
The ratio of time ⇒ 2 : 23 = 6 : 7
The ratio of efficiency P : (P+L) = 7 : 6
7×2
Therefore , required time ⇒ = 14 hours. [Ans.] – D
7−6

Q-10 : The difference between simple and compound interest on a sum

of money at 20% per annum for 3 years is Tk.48, What is the sum?
A. 375 B. 268 C. 274 D. 528
Solution :
20×20
Effective rate in 2 years ⇒ 2×20 + = 44
100
44×20
Effective rate in 3 years ⇒ 44 + 20 + = 72.8%
100

Now , (72.8 – 20×3)% ≡ 48 ⇒ 100% ≡ 375 [Ans.] – A

Solution :
A B 3 12
: = 4 : 13 ⇒ A : C = 36 : 52 = 9 : 13 [Ans.] - A
B C

Alternate approach :
A : B = 3 : 4 ⇒ (3 : 4)×3 = 9 : 12

A.3 : 5 B. 7 : 3 C. 3 : 7 D. 5 : 3 E. None
Solution :
Applying Rule of Alligation :
(200 - 165) : (165 - 150) = 35 : 15 = 7 : 3
Alternate approach :
15×V₁ + 20×V₂ = 16.5×(V₁ + V₂)
⇒ 1.5×V₁ = 3.5×V₂ ⇒ V₁ : V₂ = 7 : 3 [Ans.] – B
Q-19 : The average A , B , C , D and E is 40 years old . The average age
of A and B is 35 years old . The average age of C and D is 42 years old
. So , E is ?
A. 37 years B. 47 Years C. 46 years D. None
Solution :
(A+B+C+E) : (A+B) : (B+C) = 40×5 : 35×2 : 42×2 = 200 : 70 : 84
Therefore, age of E ⇒ [200 - (70+84)] = 46 years [Ans.] – C

(m - 1)ⁿ⁺¹ is :
A. 2000 B. 3000 C. 4000 D. None
Solution :
Here , mⁿ = 121 ⇒ mⁿ = (11)²
Therefore , (m - 1) ⁿ⁺¹ = (11 - 1)²⁺¹ = 10³ = 1000 [Ans.] – None

area of rectangle is 216 cm².What is the length of rectangle ?
A. 20 cm B. 18 cm C. 30 cm D. 10 cm
Solution :
2×(B + L) : B = 5 : 1 ⇒ 3B = 2L ⇒ B : L = 2 : 3 = 2a : 3a [Let]
Now , 2a×3a = 216 ⇒ a² = 36 ⇒ a = 6
Therefore , the length of rectangle ⇒ (3×6) = 18 cm [Ans.] – B
