Solution:
MATHAMETICS (Solved By Tanisha tabassum) Let Bashir has = x tk
31. The average of 50 numbers is 38. If two numbers Then selim has= 3x/2 tk
namely 45 and 55 are discarded, the average of the Then Masud has = 3x tk
remaining number is : Now ratio of Masud: Selim: Bashir = 6:3:2
(A) 36.50 They have total = 110 × 3 = 330 Taka
(B) 37 Then Masud × 330 = 180 tk
(C) 37.50 34. A man spends 75% of his income. his income is
(D) 38 increased by 20% and he increased his expenditure by 10%.
(E) 40 His savings are increased by :
Solution: (A) 10%
Average for 50 number is 38. (B) 25%
The total is 38×50=1900 (C) 37.50%
The total of discarded number is 45+55=100 (D) 50%
Hence the total for 48 number is 1900-100= 1800 (E) 45%
So, The new average is 1800÷48=37.5 Solution:
32. A cricketer has a certain average for 9 innings. In the Let income =100
10th innings he scores 100 runs, thus increasing his average Expenditure : 75
by 8 runs. His new average is : So, saving (100 - 75) = 25
(A) 20 New income = 100 + 20% of 100= 120
(B) 24 New expenditure = 75 + 10% of 75 = 82.5
(C) 28 New saving = 120 82.5 = 37.5
(D) 32 Increase of saving = 37.5 25 = 12.5
(E) 35 % increase in saving = (12.5/25) × 100 =50%

35. If a commission of 10% is given on the marked price of 37. An ambulance travels 10 miles at a speed of 50 miles
a book, the publisher gains 20%. If the commission is per hour. how fast must the ambulance travel on the return
increased to 15% the gain is : trip if the round trip travel time is 20 minutes?
(A) 16.67% (A) 75 mph
(B) 13.33% (B) 55 mph
(C) 15.17% (C) 60 mph
(D) 17% (D) 65 mph
(E) 10.5% (E) 30 mph
Solution: Solution:
Let CP= 100 Given, Distance = 10 miles, speed = 50 miles per hour
And Marked price= x Time taken = distance ÷ speed
SP= x- 10% of x = 10÷ 50 = 1/5 hour = 1/5×60 =12 mins
x- 10% of x= 120 Total time = 20 mins
x-10x/100=120 Time for returned trip = 20 - 12 =8 min
9x/100=120 8 mins = 8/60 = 2/15 hours
9x=1200 Speed = distance ÷ time
X=133.33 = 10 ÷ 2/15
If 15% Commission was given, then =10 × 15/2
SP= 133.33- 15% of 133.33 = 150/2
SP= 133.33- 20 =75 mph
SP= 113.33 38. The sum of principal and simple interest of a certain

(A) Tk. 2300 (B) 6%
(B) Tk. 2500 (C) 5%
(C) Tk 2525 (D) 7.5%
(D) Tk. 2558 (E) 20%
(E) Tk. 2250 Solution:
Solution: (5-3) = 2 years interest = (500 - 460) = 40 tk
Let total income is x = 20 tk
5% for Charitable organisation is 5% of x = 5x/100 = 0.05 x 3 year's interest 20 × 3 = 60 tk
Balance available ( x-0.05x) = 0.95x Principle amount = (460-60) = 400 tk
20% deposited in bank = 20% of 0.095x Interest rate = (60×100)/(400×3) = 5%
= (20 × 0.95x)/100 39. Humayra borrowed Tk. 240, free of interest, to pay for
= .19 x her new hair band. If she pays back 20% of the amount
Now left ( 0.95x - 0.19x) = 0.76x each month and has already paid back Tk. 120. how many
ATQ, months have passed since she took the loan?
0.76x= 1919 (A) 3 months
x= 1919/ 0.76 (B) 3.5 months
x = 2525 (C) 2.5 months
4
(D) 2 months nor motor bikes?

(E) 4 months (A) 110
Solution: (B) 90
As She pays 20% of the amount each month (C) 50
So, 20% of 240 (D) 30
= 20/100 × 240 (E) 10
= 48 tk Solution:
She paid back 120 tk Given total = 120, n(C)= 55, n( B)=35 and n (C U B) =
So, remaining (240-120)= 120 20, none=?
48 tk pays back in 1 month Total =n(c)+n(B) n(CUB) +none
So, 120 tk pays back in 120/48 = 2.5 months 120= 55+35-20+none

(B) 6% (C) 19
(C) 8% (D) 20
(D) 12% (E) 15
(E) 13% Solution:
Solution: Average of 12 is 20
Let the total Customers number = 100 Total = 12 × 20 = 240
Then Customers who actually purchase goods = 40 Let the age of one more is x
And Customers who purchase tagas = 40 × 15/100 = 6 So, total 240 + x
Required percentage = 6% Average of 13 is (240 + x)/13
41. The price of desktop computer is discounted by 20%, ATQ
and reduced price is then discounted by 20%. The series of (240 + x)/13 = 19
successive discount is equivalent to a single discount of : 240 + x = 13 × 19

Solution: (A) 15
Let the price of desktop computer be 100 (B) 20
Then after first discount price becomes 80 (C) 30
Then again it is discounted by 20% (D) 75
So the Price Becomes = 80 (80 × 20/100) = 64 (E) 40
So a single discount will be = (100 64) = 36%. Solution:
42. Of the 120 households in an area, 55 have cars, 35 Given Width of the rectangle = 5 inches

the same side for all 3 tosses of the coin. This means that
(E) Tk. 7500
the 3-toss outcome will be either H-H-H or T-T-T.
Solution:
P(T-T-T) = 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8
Cost price per share = 5000/50 = 100
P(H-H-H) = 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8
3/5 of the share = 30 share
Thus, the probability that the coin lands on the same side
Sold 30 share at = 30 × (100 × 2) = 6000 tk
each time is 1/8 + 1/8 = 2/8 = 1/4.

19. A courtyard 25 m long and 16 m broad is to be paved GIVEN: A candidate who gets 84% of the votes is elected by
with bricks of dimensions 20 cm by 10 cm. The total a majority of 476 votes.
number of bricks required is Let the total number of votes polled be 'x'
(A) 25000 Number of votes in favour of the candidate is = 84% of x
(B) 20000 = 84x/100
(C) 18000 Number of votes got by the losing candidate = x − 84x/100
(D) None of these = (100x - 84x)/100 = 16x/100
Solution: Number of extra votes in favor of winning candidate =
Here in this question first we have to find the area of the 84x/100 − 16x/100
the courtyard and then divide it by the area of one brick. 476 = 68x/100
Now first convert meters into centimeters to properly x = (476 × 100 )/68
calculate the ans. x = 7 × 100
25m * 100 = 2500cm x = 700
16m * 100 = 1600cm Hence,the total number of votes polled are 700 .
Now area of courtyard = 1600*2500=4000000 22. The total number of digits used in numbering, the
Area of a brick = 20 * 10=200 pages of a book having 366 pages is

(A) Tk. 2400 obtain the next term of the series.
(B) Tk. 2200 Thus, 10000 + (10% of 10000)= 11000;
(C) Tk. 1800 11000 - (10% of 11000) = 9900;
(D) Tk. 1600 9900 + (10% of 9900) = 10890;
Solution: 10890 - (10% of 10890) = 9801.
Let C.P. of the chair be Tk. x and that f the table be Tk. y 9801 + (10% of 9801) = 9801+980 = 10781.
Then ,17% of y - 7% f x = 296 So, missing term = 10890- (10% of 10890)= 9801.

(C) 3 : 3 : 10 Their ratio is 3:4:6.
(D) None of these Let the common ratio be x.
Solution: So, first number = 3x.
The salaries A, B, C are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. Second number = 4x.
Let A = 2x , B = 3x , C = 5x Third number = 6x.
A's new salary = (100+15%) of 2x = 115/100×2x = 23x/10 Their product is 1944.
B's new salary= (100+10%) of 3x = 110/100 ×3x = 33x/10 SO.....
C's new salary = (100+20%) of 5x = 120/100×5x = 60x/100 3x × 4x × 6x = 1944.
Ratio of their new salaries = (23x/10 : 33x/10 : 60x/10) = 72x³ = 1944

MATHAMETICS (Solved By Raihana Pervin Rontu) What is the difference between the highest and lowest
36 The smallest 6-digit number exactly divisible by 111 is numbers ?
(A) 111111 (A) 2
(B) 110011 (B) 5
(C) 100011 (C) 8
(D) 110101 (D) None of these
Solution: Solution:
Smallest number from the option is 10011
So, we have to check the option 1st Average of 5 number is 61
100011/111 = 91, so this is divisible by 111. So, (x + 1 + x + 3 + x + 5 + x + 7 + x + 9)/5 =61
37 The ratio of two numbers is 3:4 and their H.C.F. is 4 . (5x + 25)/5 = 61
Their L.C.M. is : 5x + 25 = 61 × 5
(A) 12 5x + 25 = 305
(B) 16 5x = 305 25
(C) 24 x = 280/5
(D) 48 x = 56
Solution: Lowest no is x+1 So,56+1 = 57
The ratio of numbers 3:4 and their HCF is 4, so the Highest no is x+9 So,56+9 = 65
numbers are 3 * 4 = 12 and 4 * 4 = 16 The difference is, 65 57 = 8
We know, Shortcut:
LCM * HCF = multiplication of the two numbers As the numbers are consecutive odd numbers, so for any
106
consecutive odd numbers difference between 2 numbers = x/y = 4/6 = 2/3

2, for five numbers difference will be 4*2 = 8, difference is 44 The ages of A and B are in the ratio 3:1 . Fifteen years
counted for four places. hence , the ratio will be 2:1 . Their present ages are :
41 Two numbers are such that the ratio between them is (A) 30 years , 10 years
4:7 . If each is increased by 4, the ratio becomes 3:5 . The (B) 45 years , 15 years
larger number is : (C) 21 years , 7 years
(A) 36 (D) 60 years , 20 years
(B) 48 Solution:
(C) 56 Let, present age 3x and x of A and B respectively.
(D) 64 After 15 years, (3x+15)/(x+15) = 2/1
Or, 3x+15 = 2x+30
Solution: Or, x = 15
(4x +4)/(7x + 4) = 3/5 Present age of A = 3 × 15 = 45 and B = 15
Or, 20x + 20 = 21x + 12 45 Aunik, Kamal and Jamal invested TK. 8000, TK. 4000
Or, x = 8 and TK. 8000 respectively in a business . Aunik left after six
Larger number = 7 × 8 = 56 months. If after eight months, there was a gain of TK.
42 A person's present age is two-fifth of the age of his 4005, then what will be the share of Kamal ?
mother. After 8 years , he will be one-half of the age of his (A) TK. 890
mother . How old is the mother at present ? (B) TK. 1335
(A) 32 years (C) TK. 1602
(B) 36 years (D) TK. 1780
(C) 40 years Solution:
(D) 48 years Aunik : Kamal : Jamal
Solution: = (8000 × 6) : (4000 × 8) : (8000 × 8)
Let, age of mother = x and age of person = 2x/5 = 48000 : 32000 : 64000
(x + 8)/(2x/5 + 8) = 2/1 =3:2:4
Or, x + 8 = 4x/5 + 16 So, share of Kamal = 4005 × (2/9) = 445 × 2 = 890
Or, x 4x/5 = 16 - 8 46 15 men take 21 days of 8 hours each to do a piece of
Or, x/5 = 8 work. How many days of 6 hours each would 21 women
Or, x = 40 take , if 3 women do as much work as 2 men ?
43 If 25% of a number is subtracted from a second (A) 18
number, the second number reduces to its five-sixth .What (B) 20
is the ratio of the first number to the second number ? (C) 25
(A) 1:3 (D) 30
(B) 2:3 Solution
(C) 3:2
(D) None of these Then, (21 × 8 × 15)/(x × 6 × 21) = 2/3
Solution: Or, x = 30
Let, first number = x and second number = y 47 A is 30% more efficient than B . How much time will
Now, y 25%of x = 5y/6 they, working together , take to-complete a job which A
Or, y 25x/100 = 5y/6 alone could have done in 23 days ?
Or, y- 5y/6 = x/4 (A) 11 days
Or, y/6 = x/4 (B) 13 days
107
(C) 21 days (B) 30

(D) None of these (C) 40
Solution (D) 45
30% of 23 = 23 × 30/100 = 69/10 Solution:
A can do the work in 1 day 1/23 Because of same direction the average speed = 63 3 =60
B can do the work in 1 day 1/(23 + 69/10) km/hr
Together they can do in 1 day = (1/23) + (1/(23 +69/10)) Train = 500 m = 1/2 km
= 1/23 + 10/299 = (13+10)/299 = 26/299 = 1/13 60 km can be crossed within 1 hr or 60 × 60 seconds
So, in 13 days they can complete the work. 1/2 km can be crossed within (60 × 60)/(60 × 2) = 30

(C) 144 min (B) TK. 1025
(D) 192 min (C) TK. 1052
Slow pipe is 3 times slower than fast pipe. Solution:
So, it fills 1/4 of the tank. SI = 956 800 = 156
The slower pipe alone will be able to fill the tank in 36*4 = 156 = 800 × 3 × r/100
144 min Or, r = 156/24 = 6.5%
New rate = 6.5 + 4 = 10.5%
49 A person has to cover a distance of 6 km in 45 minutes. Interest = 800 × 10.5 ×3/100 = 252
If he covers one-half of the distance in two-thirds of the ∴ Amount = 800 + 252 = 1052 Tk

Solution: (D) 46%
2/3 × 45 = 30 Solution:
1/2 × 6 = 3 Let the original length = x and breadth = y and area = xy
So, he has to cover 3 km in (45-30) = 15 minutes = 1/4 New length = 120x/100 and
hour new breadth = 120y/100 and
His speed must be 3/(1/4) = 12 km/hr New area = (120x/100) ×(120y/100) = 144xy/100 =36xy/25

6 A is faster than B,A and B each walk 24km. The sum of same speed. If the length of each train is 120 meters and
their speeds is 7 km/hr and the sum of times taken by they cross each other in 12 seconds, then the speed of
them is 14 hours. Then, A's speed is equal to : each train (in km/hr) is :
(A) 3 km/hr (A) 10
(B) 5 km/hr (B) 18
(C) 4 km/hr (C) 72
(D) 7 km/hr (D) 36
Solution: Solution:
Let A's speed = x km/hr Distance covered = 120 + 120 = 240 m
Then, B's speed = (7 - x) km/hr Time = 12 s
So, Let the speed of each train = v
24x + 24(7 − x) = 14 Then relative speed = v + v = 2v
Or, 24(7 − x) + 24x = 14x(7 − x) 2v = distance/time = 240/12 = 20 m/s
2
Or, 14x − 98x + 168 = 0 Speed of each train = v = 20/2 = 10 m/s
2
Or, x −7x + 12 = 0 = 10 × 36/10 km/hr = 36 km/hr
Or, (x − 3)(x − 4) = 0 6 The average of first 50 natural numbers is :
Or, x = 3 and x = 4 (A) 12.25

Let the total number of votes polled be 'x'
(I) ÷ (II)
Number of votes in favour of the candidate is = 84% of x
(X + Y)/(X Y) = 40/4
= 84x/100
Or, 4X + 4Y = 40X 40X
Number of votes got by the losing candidate = x − 84x/100
Or, 36X = 44Y
= (100x - 84x)/100 = 16x/100
Or, X/Y = 44/36
272
Number of extra votes in favor of winning candidate = Or, ? = 215.085

Given, (D) 90
X = Y × 125/100, (E) 120
X:Y=5:4 Solution:
Again It loses 10 mins each day
X = Z × 80/100, So to show correct time it should lose 12 hours(720 mins) i
X:Z=4:5 f it has only 12 hour divisions
X : Y : Z = 20 : 16 : 25 No. of days = 720/10 = 72

So in 72 days it would lose 720 mins i.e., 12 hours
Share of X = 610 × 20/61 = Tk. 200
After 72 days it would show the time correctly.

then the number of labourers to finish the same piece of (C) 11 min 20 sec
work in days, will be. (D) 13 min
(A) 15 Solution:
(B) 22 Distance = 10 km
(C) 21 Time = 12 min = 12/60 = 1/5 hrs
(D) 25 Speed = 10 × 5 = 50 km/hr
Solution: Speed is decreased by 5 km/hr
As 30 labours complete work in 18 × 7 hours = 126 hours Now,
New speed = 50 - 5 = 45 km/hr
hours Time = 10 / 45 = 2/9 hrs
This is case of inverse variation, Therefore,
So, 30 × 126 = X × 180 Required time = 2/9 hrs
Or, X = 30 × 126/180 = 2/9 × 60 min
Or, X = 21 labours = 40/3 min

Solution: = (5+ 5 + 4 + 3)/60
Let the total profit be Tk. 100 = 17/60 part
After paying to charity, A's share = (95 × 3/5) = Tk. 57 In 6 hrs 3 × (17/60) = 51/60 of the tank will be filled
If A's share is Tk. 57, total profit = Tk. 100. Remaining (1 51/60) = 9/60 of the tank
If A's share is Tk. 855, total profit = (100/57 × 855) = 1500 Now A and B tap is running to fill the rest 9/60 of the tank

number. If the smaller number is the larger one is : Solution:
(A) 16 y is 10% more than 125
(B) 15 Hence y = 125 + 10 % of 125
(C) 18 = 125 + (10/100) × 125
(D) 20 = 125 + 12.5
Solution: y = 137.5
Let the larger number is X x is 10 % less than y
According to the question x = 137.5 - 10 % of 137.5
X 12 = 20X/100 = 137.5 - 13.75

(B) Tk. 200 Solution:
(C) Tk. 245 Let the sum = P Tk.
(D) Tk. 225 S.I = 50 Tk.
Solution: Rate of interest = 5 %
If each of them had received Tk. 25 less, Time =2 years.
Then total money = 735 – 75 = 660 Tk S.I = P × R/100 × T
If each of them had received Rs 25 less, 50 = P × 5/100 × 5
Then ratio = 1 : 3 : 2 P = 50/5 × 100/2 = 500 Tk.
Sum of the ratio 1 + 3 + 2 = 6 C.I. of 500 Tk.
Money received by C = 2/6 × 660 + 25 = 220 + 25 = Tk. Amount = 500(1 + 5/100)2

(D) Tk. 18 (C) Tk. 124.70
Solution: (D) Tk. 127.40
It is known that the formula is: Solution:
(Dividend / market value) × face value = interest. P = Tk. 64, S.I. = Tk. (83.20 - 64) = Tk. 19.20, T = 2
or,Dividend / market value = interest / face value. years
331
So, rate = ( 100 x 19.20 )/(64 x 2) % = 15% required number = 4 × √4 = 4 × 2 = 8.

Now, P = Tk. 86, R= 15%, T = 4 years 60. A sum of money invested at compound interest

A = 3B bridge, what is the length of the bridge?
B = 2/3C (A) 200 meter
Therefore C = 3/2B (B) 250 meter
Now the ratio of investment = 3B : 1B : 3/2B = 6 : 2 : 3 (C) 300 meters
Thus the share of B will be = 2/11 × 6600 = 2 × 600= 1200 (D) 350 meters

Solution: 6(1/4)% p.a. for 2 years. Find his gain in the transaction
Let the length of bridge be X m per year.
Length of train = 50m (A) Tk. 112.50
Distance covered by train = (50 + X) m (B) Tk. 125
Speed = 30km/h = 30 × 5/18 = 25/3 m/s (C) Tk. 150
Time taken = 36 s (D) Tk. 167.50
We know that , Solution:
Distance = Speed × time Gain in 2 years
50 + X = 25/3 × 36 = [ (5000 x 25/4 x 2/100) - (5000 x 4 x 2)/100 ]
Or, X = 300 - 50 = Tk. (625 - 400)
Or, X = 250 m = Tk. 225.
Length of the bridge will be = 250 m Gain in 1 year = Tk. 225/2 = Tk. 112.50
71. In what ratio must tea at TK. 62 per kg be mixed with 73. A man saves tk. 200 at the end of each year and lends
tea at TK 72 per kg so that the mixture must be worth tk. the money at 5% compound interest. How much will it
64.50 per kg? become at the end of 3 years?

(B) 3:2 (B) Tk. 635
(C) 4:3 (C) Tk. 662.02
(D) 5:3 (D) Tk. 662.02
Solution: Solution:
Let the quantity of Rs 62 per kg tea be x kgs and that of Rs First year :
72 per kg be y kgs. Principal = Tk. 200
Therefore, we can say that Interest % = 5%
62x + 72y = 64.5(x+y) Amount = Principal +Interest
72y - 64.5y = 64.5x - 62x Amount = 200 + 5/100 × 200
7.5y = 2.5x Amount = Tk. 210
or Second year :
x : y = 3:1 She saved 200 Tk. in second year .
Thus three parts of Rs 62 per kg tea is mixed with 1 part of Principal = 200 + 210 = 410
Rs 72 per kg tea in order to make the mixture worth Rs Amount = 410 + 5/100 × 410
64.5 per kg. Amount = Tk. 430.5
Shortcut: Third year :
She saved 200 Tk. in second year .
62 72 Principal = 200 + 430.5 = Tk. 630.5
Amount = 630.5 + 5/100 × 630.5
64.50 Amount = Tk. 662.02
