2.Sequence of numbers are 1,11,21,1211,111221.What will be the
next one in the above sequence?
To generate a member of the sequence from the previous member, read off
the digits of the previous member, counting the number of digits in groups of
the same digit.
For example:
1 is read off as "one 1" or 11.
11 is read off as "two 1s" or 21.
21 is read off as "one 2, then one 1" or 1211.
1211 is read off as "one 1, one 2, then two 1s" or 111221.
111221 is read off as "three 1s, two 2s, then one 1" or 312211(ans)
3.A man walked diagonally across a square lot. Approximately what
was the percent saved by not walking along the edges?
let,
one side of the square=10 unit
we know that,Diagonal of the square is a√2
So, according to question,
the hypotenuse is 10√2
so he saves=10+10-10√2=20-10√2=10(2-√2)=10*0.6=6
Now,save in percentage(%) = 0.6*100/2=30%(ans)

5.A survey showed that 63% of Bengali people like chicken
whereas 76% like fish.If X% like both fish & chicken then what is
the range of X?
Suppose,
Total Bengali People=100
People who like Chicken (C)=63%
People who like Fish (F)=76%
People who like both Chicken & Fish (C & F)=X%
We know,
Total People=C + F- X
(63 + 76 )-X= 100.
Solving, we get x=39
The people who like none be= Total People-(Only chicken + Only fish +
Both)=100-(24+37+39)=0
The range of X be=0 < x ≤ 39%
Ans: 0 < x ≤ 39%

6.Worker W produces N units in 5hrs, workers W & V working
independently but at the same time produces N units in 2hrs.How long
would it take V alone to produce N units?
Workers W produce in 5 hrs N units
then,W produce in 2 hrs 2N/5 units
Again,Workers W & V produce N units in 2 hrs
so,The number of units produced by V alone in 2 hrs=(N-2N/5)
=3N/5
So,The number of units produced by V alone in 1hr =3N/5*2=3N/10
Now,3N/10 units V produce alone in 1hr
so,N units V produce alone in (10N/3N)hr
=10/3 hr
=3hr 20Min(ans)

7.In a group consisting of 40 people,24 were female & the rest were
male.Half of the members were smokers & the rest are non smokers.If 1/3
of the female members were smokers,how many of the male members are
non smokers?
Total member= 40
Female member= 24
So, Male= 40-24= 16
Total smoker= 40 of 1/2= 20
None smoker= 40-20=20
Female smoker= 24 of 1/3 = 8
So, Male smoker= 20-8= 12
Male non smoker= 16-12= 4 ( ans)

8.The angle of the elevation of the sun, when the length of the shadow of the
tree root 3 times the height of the tree is-
Let,
The height of the shadow is h
so,the length is root 3h
we know,
tan(angle)=height/base
=>tan(angle)=h/root 3h
=>tan(angle)=1/root 3
=>tan(angle)=tan 30
so,angle= 30 degree(ans)
9.At 3.40 the hour hand & the minute hand of a clock form an angle of it?
Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs = 360 degree
Angle traced by it in 11/3 hrs(3+40/60=3+2/3=11/3)=360*11/12*3=110 degree
Angle traced by minute hand in 60 min=360 degree
Angle traced by it in 40 min=360*40/60=240 degree
Now,required angle=(240-110)=130 degree(ans)
Shortcut:
[11m-60h]/2
=[11*40-60*3]
=[440-180]/2
=260/2
=130 degree(ans)
10.A sum of money lent at compound intrest for 2 yrs at 20% per annum
would fetch tk 482 more, if the interest was payable half yearly than if it was
payable annually.What will be the sum?
Original Question:
A sum of money is lent out at compound interest rate of 20 % per annum for 2
years. It would fetch tk 482 more if interest is compounded half-yearly. Find
the sum.
Let,
Sum=x tk
C.I. when compounded annually
=x(1+20/100)^2-x=11x/25 tk
C.I. when compounded half yearly
=x(1+20/100*2)^4-x
=4641x/10000 tk
A:T:Q;
4641x/10000-11x/25=482
=>x=20000 tk(ans)
11.How many miles can a motor cyclist travel from 8:25am to 9:55am,at
a speed of 820 mph?
8:25am to 9:55am=90 minutes
So,at 820 mph the distance covered=820*90/60=1230miles(ans)
12.A is 30% more efficient than B.How much time will they, working
together, take to complete a job which A alone could have done in
23dys?
Let ,B takes x days to do the work
A:T:Q;
100:130=23:x
So,x=299/10
A's 1 day work=1/23p
B's 1 day work=10/299p
A+B do in 1 day=(1/23+10/299)=23/299=1/13p
A and B together can complete 1/13p in 1day
A and B together can complete 1p in 13days(ans)
13.a,b,c,d & e are 5 consecutive numbers in increasing order of
size.Deleting one of the five numbers from the set decreased the sum of
the remaining numbers in the set by 20%.Which of the numbers was
deleted from a,b,c,d & e?
Let,
a=x
b=x+1
c=x+2
d=x+3
e=x+4
Sum of the five numbers=5x+10
After deleting one number the sum will be
=5x+10-(5x+10)*20/100
=4x+8
So,the deleted number
=(5x+10)-(4x+8)
=x+2
=c(ans)
14.During the next tree plantation week a company is considering
planting tree in line of its own rectangular piece of land which is 90 feet
long & 66 feet wide.The land surrounded by the boundary wall of 5.It was
also decided that the distance from one tree to another in both row &
column will be 4 feet.What is the maximum number of tree can bee
planted on the land?
Given that,
The length of the land=90ft
& the width=66ft
As,the land surrounded with 5ft wall
Then,the possible length for plantation=90-5*2=80 ft
&the possible width=66-5*2=56ft
Again,the distance between two trees 4ft
So,In a row tree can be planted=56/4+1=15 trees
& in a column trees can be planted=80/4+1=21 trees
so,the total trees can be planted
=15*21=315 trees(ans)
15.A man & a boy together can complete a job in 81dys.Two man & three
boys together can complete the job in 36dys.In how many days can 4
men working together complete the job?
Let,
1 man's 1 day's work=x
& 1 boy's 1day's work=y
A:T:Q;
x+y=1/81..................(1)
2x+3y=1/36..............(2)
from 1 equation we get,
x=1/81-y...................(3)
Now,after adding the value of x in equation (2) we get,
2(1/81-y)+3y=1/36
=>y=1/324
so,from equation (3) we get,
x=1/81-1/324
=>x=1/108
Now,
1 man does 1/108pwork in 1 day
4 men do 1p in108/4=27dys(ans)
16.Due to reduction of 6(1/4)% in the price of sugar a man is able to buy
1 kg more for tk 120.Find the original & reduced rate of sugar?
Let,Previous price 100tk
At 6*1/4% ,the reduced price=(100-100*25/4*100)tk=375/4 tk
If current price 375/4tk then previous is 100tk
If current price 120tk the previous is 120*4*100/375 tk or 128tk
So,Original price for 1kg is=128-120=8 tk (ans)
Now,If original price is 100tk then reduced price is 375/4 tk
If original price is 8tk then reduced price is 375*8/4*100 tk or 7.5tk(ans)
17..After replacing an old member by a new member,it was found
that the avg age of 5 members of a club is the same as it was 3yrs
ago.What is the difference between the ages of the replaced & the
new member?
Let,
The ages of the five members at present be a, b, c, d & e years.
And the age of the new member be f years.
So, the new average of five members' age
= (a + b + c + d + f)/5 ------- (1)
Now,
Their ages 3 years ago = (a-3), (b-3), (c-3), (d-3) & (e-3) years
So, their average age 3 years ago
From comparing the above equations we get,
(a + b + c + d + e - 15)/5=(a + b + c + d + f)/5
==> a + b + c + d + e - 15= a + b + c + d + f
==> e - f =15
So,difference between the old & the new member is 15 yrs(ans)
18.A mixture contains alcohol & water in the ratio 4:3.If 5 litres of
water is added to the miixture,the ratio beecomes 4:5.Find the
quantity of the alcohol in the given miixture?
Let,
Alcohol & water ratio in the mixture 4x litre & 3x litre
A:T:Q;
4x/3x+5=4/5
=>x=5/2
so,quantity of alcohol in the mixture=4*5/2=10 litre(ans)
19.In a flight of 600km aircraft was slowed down due to bad
weather.Its avg speed for the trip was reduced by 30kmph & the
time of the flight increased by 1 hour.Findout the duration of the
flight?
Let,Total distance=600 km
Actual time & speed is t hr & v kmph
Reduced speed (v-30)kmph & increased time (t+1)hr
we know that
speed,V=distance/time
A:T:Q;
600/t-600/(t+1)=30
=>600t+600-600t/t(t+1)=30
=>600=30(t^2+t)
=>20=t^2+t
=>t^2+t-20=0
=>(t-4)(t+5)=0
either,t=4 or t=-5(as neg value neglected)
So,here the actual time or duration of flight is,t=4 hour(ans)
20.A hall is 15m long & 12m broad.If the sum of the areas of the
floor & the ceiling is equal to the sum of the areas of the 4
walls,what is the volume of the wall?
Given that,
The length,l=15m
& the breadth, b=12m
A:T:Q;
Area of the floor+ceiling=Area of the four wall
==>l*b+l*b=l*h+b*h+l*h+b*h
==>2*l*b=2*l*h+2*b*h
==>2*l*b=2h(l+b)
==>l*b=h(l+b)
==>h=l*b/l+b
==>h=15*12/15+12
So,h=20/3
Now,the volume of the wall
=l*b*h
=15*12*20/3
=1200 m^3(ans)
21.A hollow iron pipe is 21cm long & it's external diameter is 8cm.If
the thickness of the pipe is 1cm & iron weighs 8gm/cm^3,then what
is the weight of the pipe?
Given that,
External radius,R=4 cm
Internal radius,r= 3 cm [because thickness of pipe is 1 cm]
We know that,
Volume of iron=πr^2h
= π(R^2-r^2)h
=[22/7×(4^2−3^2)×21]
= 462cm^3
So,Weight of iron
= (462 x 8)gm
= 3696 gm
= 3.696kg(ans)
22.The ratio between the length & the breadth of a rectangular park
is 3:2.If a man cycling along the boundary of the park at the speed
of 12kmph completes 1 round in 8min,then what is the area of the
park?
Perimeter of the rectangular park
=distance covered in 8mins
=(12*1000*8/60)m
=1600m
Let,Length=3x & width=2x meter
ATQ,
2(Length+Breadth)= Perimeter
==>10x=1600metre
So,x=160m
Now,Length=3x=3x160=480m
breadth=2x=2x160=320m
So, Area of the rectangle=LengthXBreadth
=(480x320)m^2
=153600m^2(ans)
23.The diagonal of the floor of a rectangular closet is 7.5ft.The
shoter side of the closet is 4.5ft.What is the area of the closet in
square feet?
Given that,
The shorter side of the closet,b=4.5ft=9/2 ft
We know,
The diagonal of the rectangular=root (a^2+b^2)
=root{a^2+(9/2)^2}
ATQ;
root(a^2+81/4)=7.5
=>a^2+81/4=(15/2)^2
=>a^2=225/4-81/4
=>a^2=144/4
=>a^2=36
So,a=6
Now,the area of the closet=(6*4.5)sqft=27sqft(ans)
24.A father divides his property between his two sons A & B.A
invest the amount at compound profit of 8% p.a. & B invest the
amount at 10% p.a. at simple profit.At the end of two years the
profit received by B is tk 1336 more than the profit received by
A.Find the share of A in the father's property of tk 25000?
Suppose,
Share of A= x tk
share of B= (25000-x) tk
SI @ 10% p.a. for 2 yrs =B=(25000-x)*10%*2=5000 - 0.2x
CI @ 8% p.a. for 2 yrs=A =x(1+8%)^-x=0.1664x
ATQ,
=> 5000 - 0.2x - 0.1664x = 1336
=> 5000 - 0.3664x = 1336
=> 0.3664x = 3664
=> x = 3664/0.3664
=>x=10000
So,the share of A is 10000 tk(ans)
25.One day Wahid started 30mins late from home & reached his
office 50mins late,while driving 25% slower than his usual
speed.How much time in min does Wahid usually take to reach his
office from home?
Let,
Actual time taken by Wahid= x min & his actual speed y km/min
We know,
distance=speed*time=xy km
Extra time taken=(50-30)min=20min
ATQ;
(x+20)*(y-y*25%)=xy
=>(x+20)*3y/4=xy
=>3(x+20)=4x
=>x=60
So,His actual time is 60min(ans)
26.A worker buys some shirts & some ties.Shirts cost tk 70 each &
ties cost tk 30 each.If he spends exactly tk 810 & buys the
maximum number of shirts possible under this conditions,the ratio
of the shirts to ties is?
Let,
x and y be the number of Shirts and ties respectively.
ATQ,
70x + 30y = 810
Here we can make a trial & error process…...
Value (9,6) satisfied the above equations
such as 70*9+30*6=810
So,the ratio of the shirts to ties=9:6=3:2(ans)
27.The diagonal of a rectangle is root 41cm & it's area is
20sq.cm.What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
We know,
The diagonal of rectangular=root(a^2+b^2) cm,
the area= ab sqcm,
& the perimeter =2(a+b) cm
ATQ,
root(a^2+b^2)=root 41
=>a^2 + b^2 = 41-----------------1
Again,
ab = 20--------------------------------2
From equation 1 we get,
a^2+b^2=41
=>(a+b)^2-2ab=41
=>(a+b)^2-2*20=41
=>(a+b)^2=41+40=81
=>a+b=9
=>2(a+b)=18
So,the perimeter is 18cm(ans)
28.A student multiplied a number by 3/5 instead of 5/3,what is the
percentage error in the calculation?
Let,
The number x.
He should have multiplied by x by 5/3= 5x/3.
By mistake he multiplied x by 3/5 = 3x/5
Error = (5x/3 - 3x/5) = 16x/15
Error % = (error/True vaue) * 100
= [(16/15) * x/(5/3) * x] * 100 = 64 %(ans)

32.In a certain shop notebooks that normally sell for BDT 1.50 each
are on sale at 2 for BDT 2.89.How much can be saved by
purchasing 10 of these notebooks at sale price?
Ans with explanations ::
While the price of each notebook is tk 1.50,then the price of 10
notebooks=10*1.50=15 tk
While the price of 2 notebooks is tk 2.89,then the price of 10
notebooks=10*2.89/2=14.45 tk
So, the price can be saved=15-14.45=0.55 tk(ans)
33.If a merchant offers a discount of 30% on the list price,then he
makes a loss of 16%.What % profit or loss will the merchant make if
he sells at a discount of 10% of the list price?
Let,
The list price is x tk & cost price is 100 tk.
At 30% discount,the selling price=(x-30*x/100)=0.7x tk
The merchant would have got =(100-100*16/100)=84 tk,when he offered a
discount of 30%.
ATQ,
0.7x=84
=>x=120
So,the list price is 120 tk
At 10% discount,he will sell the article at=(120-120*10/100)=108 tk
As the cost price was 100 tk & selling price was 108 tk
Then, the profit is =8%(ans)
34.Samad was planning on depositing a certain amount of money
each month into a bank.He then decided not to make any
contributions during May & June.To make the same annual
contribution take he had planned,by what percent should he
increase monthly deposit?
Let,Samad planned to deposit 100 tk per month that would be 1200 tk per
year.
But,he decided not make any contributions for May & June
Then,his deposit for the rest of 10 month =1200 tk
So,his monthly payment increase to 1200/10=120 tk
Now,the percent increase of monthly payment=120-100=20%(ans)
35.A leak in the lower portion of a tank can empty the full tank in
9hr.An inlet pipe fills water at the rate of 10 litre. per min.When the
tank is full, the inlet is opened & due to leak, the tank is empty in
16hr. How many litres does the cistern hold?
Ans with explanations::
Part of tank empty in 1hr=1/9th
Given that,
in 1 min,tank filled=10 litres
so,in 1hr or 60 mins tank filled=600 litres
Let,
part of tank filled in x hour
ATQ;
1/9 - 1/x = 1/16
=>x=24hrs
Hence,
in 1 hr,part of tank filled= 7/144 th
ATQ,
7/144th part of tank contained 600 litres
So,1 part of tank contained 600*144/7 litres=12342.857 litre(ans)
36.A man rows to a place 48km distant & back in 14hr.He finds that
he can row 4km with the stream in the same time as 3km against
the stream.What is the rate of the stream?
Let,
The man moves 4km downstream in x hrs & boat speed is a kmph & current
speed is b kmph
Then,the speed of downstream,
(a+b)=4/x kmph.........1
& the speed of upstream,
(a-b)=3/x kmph........2
ATQ,
48/(4/x)+48/(3/x)=14
=>x=1/2
Substract equation 1 & 2,we get
a+b-a+b=4/x-3/x
=>2b=(4-3)/x
=>2b=1/(1/2)
=>b=1
So,stream speed 1 kmph(ans)
37.A man rows a boat from point A against current for 10 mins &
then come back with the current for next 10 mins & reaches to a
point B.If distance between A & B is 1km,find the speed of the
current?
Going with current & against current for the same time means speed of the
boat in still water is neutralized.
Only speed of current here moves the boat.
Boat is moved 1km by current in (10+10)=20 mins=20/60 hr=1/3 hr
Therefore,speed of current={1/(1/3)}=3 kmph(ans)
Alternate Solution:
Let,
Boat speed= x kmph
& current speed=y kmph
Against current effective rate
=(x-y) kmph
So,distance covered in 10 mins(10/60 hr)
=(x-y)*10/60=(x-y)/6 km
With current effective rate
=(x+y) kmph
So,distance covered in 10 mins(10/60 hr)
=(x+y)*10/60=(x+y)/6 km
The difference between this is the backward distance that the man has
traveled.
ATQ;
(x+y)/6 - (x-y)/6=1
==>y=3
So,speed of current 3 kmph(ans)
38.Two pipes P & Q can fill a cistern in 12 mins & 15 mins
respectively but 3rd pipe R can empty the full tank in 6min.P & Q
are kept open for 5min. in the beginning & then R is also opened.In
what time is the cistern emptied?
Part filled in 5 min by P & Q=5(1/12+1/15)=3/4 portion
Part emptied in 1 min when all the pipes are opened together
={1/6-(1/12+1/15)} = 1/60 p
So,1/60 p emptied in 1 min
Now,3/4 p emptied in 3*60/4 min=45 mins(ans)
39.A milk vendor has 2 cans of milk.The 1st contains 25% water &
the rest milk.The 2nd contains 50% water.How much milk should he
mix from each of the containers so as to get 12litres of milk such
that the ratio of water to milk is 3:5?
Let,
In can 1,
Total mixture be x litre
So,water=x/4 litre & milk=3x/4 litre
Again,In can 2,
Total mixture be y litre
So,water=y/2 litre & milk=y/2 litre
ATQ,

41.Samad went to the stationers & bought things worth tk 25,out of which
30 paisa went on sales tax on taxable purchases.If the tax rate was 6%,then
what was the cost of the tax free items?
Let, tk x is the total cost of the tax free items.
Given that,
Tax rate=6%
Tax amount=30 paisa=30/100 tk
Hence,
Cost of the taxable items*6%=30/100--------------1
Here,
Cost of the taxable item is
=(cost of all items-Tax-cost of tax free items)
=(25-30/100-x)
So,from equation 1 we get,
(25-30/100-x*6/100)=30/100
=>x=19.70
So,19.70 tk is the total cost of the tax free items(ans)
42.A bank offers 5% compound interest calculated on half yearly basis.A
customer deposits tk 1600 each on 1st january & 1st july of a year.At the
end of the year,what is the amount he would have gained by way of
interest?
Amount after 1 year on tk 1600(deposited on 1st Jan) at 5% when interest calculated
half yearly
=p(1+(r/2)/100)^2t=1600(1+5/2*100)^2*1=1600(1+1/40)^2 tk
Amount after 1/2 year on tk 1600(deposited on 1st July) at 5% when interest
calculated half yearly=1600(1+5/2*100)^2*1/2=1600(1+1/40) tk
Total amount after 1 year
=1600(1+1/40)^2+1600(1+1/40)=3321
Compound interest=3321-3200=121 tk(ans)
43.A boat running upstream takes 8hrs 48mins to cover a certain
distance,while it takes 4hrs to cover the same distance running
downstream.What is the ratio between the speed of the boat & the water
current respectively?
Assume,
The speed of boat & current respectively be x & y kmph
& distance d km.
8hrs 48 mins=8 hrs+48/60 hrs=44/5 hrs
As we all know that,speed=distance/time
Hence,
With stream,
x+y=d/(44/5)
=>x+y=5d/44
=>44(x+y)/5=d--------------------1
Against stream,
x-y=d/4
=>4(x-y)=d--------------------------2
Comparing the above equations,we get
44(x-y)/5=4(x+y)
=>x:y=8:3
So,the ratios between the speed of boat & stream are 8:3(ans)
44.How many kg of sugar costing tk 9 per kg must be mixed with 27 kg of
sugar costing tk 7 per kg so that there may be a gain of 10% by selling the
mixture at tk 9.24 per kg?
At 10% gain,
While the selling price is 110tk cost price is 100tk
While the selling price is 9.24tk cost price is (9.24*100/110)tk=8.4 tk
Let,x be the quantity of sugar costing tk 9 per kg.
x*9+27*7=8.4(x+27)
=>9x+189=8.4x+226.80
=>0.6x=37.8
=>x=63
So,63kg is the quantity of sugar costing tk 9 per kg(ans)
45.A runs 5/3 times as fast as B.If A gives B a start of 80m,how far must the
winning post be so that both might reach it at the same time?
Ans with explanations :
Given that,
Ratio of speeds of A & B =5/3:1=5:3
Thus, in a race of 5m A gains 2m over B
Now,
2m are gained by A in a race of 5m
Then,80m will be gained by A in a race of (5*80/2)=200m
So,winning post is 200m away from the starting point(ans)
46.A boat can travel with a speed of 13kmph in still water.If the speed of
the stream is 4kmph,find the time taken by the boat to go 68km
downstream?
Given that,
Speed of boat,x=13 kmph
Speed of stream,y=4 kmp
So,Downstream speed =x+y=13+4=17 kmph
Now,time taken to travel 68 km downstream= 68/17 hrs =4 hrs(ans)
47.A boat takes 90 mins less to travel 36 miles downstream than to travel the
same distance upstream.If the speed of the boat in still water is 10mph,then what
is the speed of the stream?
Given that,
Speed of the boat,x=10 mph
Let,
Speed of the stream=x mph
Then,downstream speed=(10+x) mph
upstream speed=(10-x) mph
ATQ;
36/(10-x)- 36/(10+x)=90/60
=>(x+50)(x-2)=0
either,x= -50 or x=2
Since, Speed can not bee negative,So the value is 2 mph(ans)
48.Tea worth tk 126 per kg & tk 135 per kg is mixed with a 3rd variety in
the ratio 1:1:2.If the mixture is worth tk 153 per kg,what will be the price
of the 3rd variety per kg?
Let,
we use 1kg of first two varieties and 2 kg of 3 rd variety & Total is 4 kg.
So the total price is = 153*4 = 612 tk
price paid for 1 st two varieties = (126+135) = 261 tk
price paid for 3 rd variety =612-261 =351 tk
So, Price per kg for 3 rd variety=351/2= 175.50 tk per kg.(ans)
49.Two friends M & N have 40% & 60% shares in a business,after
sometime a 3rd friend joined the business by investing tk 5 lac & acquired
20% shares in the business.What is the share of M in the business now?
As,3rd investors 20% share in business=500000 tk
Then,
While Investing amount 20 tk ,total investment in business 100

While Investing amount 500000 tk ,total investment in business
=(500000*100/20) tk=2500000 tk
Thus, A & B"s share in business =2500000-500000=2000000 tk
so, M"s share = (2000000*40/100) tk= 800000 tk
So,M"s share% = 800000*100/2500000 =32%(ans)

crossroads running in the middle of the park & rest of the park has
been used as a lawn.If the area of the lawn is 2109 sqm,then what is
the wide of the road?
Given that,
Length= 60 m
Width= 40 m
So, Area of the rectangular park is
= (60 x 40) m^2
= 2400 m^2
Given that,
Area of the lawn is= 2109 m^2
Then, Area of the crossroads is= (2400 - 2109) m^2= 291 m^2
Let, the width of the road be x metres.
Area of road along length= 60x m
Area of road along width= 40x m
Area of the road will be=( 60x + 40x - x^2) m^2
Accordingly,

original speed & reached the destination two hours late.If the fault
had occurred after travelling another 50 miles,the train would have
reached 40 mins earlier.What is original speed & the difference
between the two stations?
Let,
The original speed be x mph & 3/5th of original speed be 3x/5 mph
As,we have,time=distance/speed
ATQ;
50/(3x/5)-50/x=40/60
=>x=50
So,3/5 th of 50 mph=30 mph & speed reduces by (50-30)=20 mph
Though,it is late by 2hrs & by this time it goes 30*2=60 miles
If the train goes with it's original speed,it took 60/20=3 hrs after the 1st
hour.That means total 4hrs.
Therefore,total distance covered 4*50=200 miles & speed is 50 mph(ans)

Alternate Solution:
Suppose,
The usual speed of the train is 5x mph
& The reduce speed of the train is 3x mph
For 50 miles,
ATQ;
50/3x - 50/5x =40/60=2/3
=>x = 10
So,the usual speed is 50 mph & reduce speed 30 mph
Let,

seconds which is half of its length, running in the opposite
direction at 54kmph.If it also passes a railway platform in 1.5
mins.What is the length of the platform (in meter)?
Let,
First train's length=x m
2nd train's length = x/2 m
Relative speed = (36+54) km/hr = 90 km/hr = 25 m/s
Total length of two train = x + x/2 = 3x/2 m
ATQ;
(3x/2)/25 = 12
=>x =200
So, first train's length 200 m
Again,
The length of platform = y m
First train speed = 36 km/hr = 10 m/ s
ATQ-2,
(y+200)/ 10 = 1.5*60
=>y = 700
So, The length of the platform = 700 m(ans).

110.Nafisa is 36 years old.She is twice as old as Shammi was when
Nafisa was as old as Shammi now.How old is Shammi now?
Let Shammi's age be"a" years.
Given that,
Nafisa's age is 36 years , she was of Shammi's age (36 - a) years ago.
At that time, the age of Shammi was = current age - time difference
= a - (36 - a) = 2a - 36
Now, Nafisa is now twice as old as she was (36- a) years ago.
Thus, 36 = 2 (2a - 36)
Or, 36 = 4a - 72
Or, 4a = 108
Or, a = 27.
So, Shammi is 27 years old now.(ans)
...........#RubelChowdhury
Alternate Solution:
Let,
Shammi is x years old
and , Nafisa's age of y year ago = Shammi's present age
so, y year ago Nafisa was (36-y) years old
and Shammi was (x-y) years old
ATQ,
36 = 2(x-y)
=> (x-y) = 18.....(i)
Again,
(36 - y) = x
=> y = 36 - x.....(ii)
putting value of y in equation (i),
x - (36 - x) = 18
=> x - 36 + x = 18
=> 2x = 54
=> x = 27
So, Shammi is 27 years old now.(ans)

& R can print them in 12hrs.All the machines are started at
9am,while Machine P is closed at 11am & the remaining two
machines complete the work.Approximately at what time the work
will be finished?
P, Q & R together do the parts of work in 1hr=(1/8+1/10+1/12)=37/120
As,they begin the work at 9 a.m. & P stops at 11 a.m.
So,they complete the parts of work in 2hrs=37*2/120=37/60
Rest of the work = {1-(37/60)}=23/60, which will complete by Q & R
Q & R complete parts of work in 1 hr =(1/10+1/12)=11/60
So,they complete 11/60 parts in 1 hr
Thus,They complete 23/60 parts in (60*23/11*60)=23/11 hr=2.09hrs
So,the total work will be finished in =11:00 a.m. + 2 hr=1:00 pm(ans)

113.Each person in a group of 110 investors has investments in
either equities or securities or both.Exactly 25% of the investors in
equities have investments in securities & exactly 40% of the
investors in securities have investments in equities.How many
have investments in equities?
The investors can be categorized into three groups:
(1) Those who have investments in equities only.
(2) Those who have investments in securities only.
(3) Those who have investments in both equities and securities.
Let ,
x, y, and z denote the number of people in the respective categories. Since
the total number of
investors is 110, we have
x + y + z = 110 ------------- (1)
Also,
The number of people with investments in equities is x + z
and
The number of people with investments in securities is y + z.
Since exactly 25% of the investors in equities have investments in securities,
we have the
equation
25% of (x+z)=z
x = 3z ------------------- (2)
Since exactly 40% of the investors in securities have investments in equities,
we have the
equation
40% of (y+z)=z
y = {3z}/2 -------------------- (3)
Substituting equations (2) and (3) into equation (1) yields
3z+(3z/2)+z=110

114.A & B are two alloys of gold & copper prepared by mixing
metals in proportions 7:2 & 7:11 respectively.If equal quantities of
the alloys are melted to form a third alloy C,then what will be the
proportion of the gold & copper in C?
In the first alloy A,
The amount of gold= 7/9
The amount of copper= 2/9
In the second alloy B,
The amount of gold= 7/18
The amount of copper= 11/18
When we mix both of them together the weight of gold
=(7/9+7/18)=21/18=7/6
The weight of copper=(2/9+11/18)=15/18=5/6
Since, two alloys A & B are melted to form the third alloy C,
So, weight of gold in C=7/6* 1/(1+1)=7/6*1/2=7/12
& weight of copper in C=5/6* 1/(1+1)=5/6*1/2=5/12
In alloy C the ratio of Gold & copper will be,
Gold:Copper= 7/12 : 5/12= 7:5(ans)

20% by weight is rejected before processing. Of the oranges that
are processed,15% by weight rejected before being juiced.Of the
oranges that are juiced,25% are wasted as a result of juice
making.Of the oranges those arrive at the company,what % by
weight is being?
Let,
Total number of oranges are 100
As 20% rejected before processing,
So the number of oranges being processed = (100-100*20/100)=80
As 15% processed oranges rejected before being juiced
So,the number of oranges being juiced =(80-80*15/100)=68
As 25% juiced oranges are wasted during juice making,
So,the rest of the number of oranges = (68-68*25/100)=51
Thus, 51% of the oranges are arrived at the company.(ans)

117.When a producer allows 36% commission on the retail price of
his product, he earns a profit of 8.8%.What would be his profit % if
the commission is reduced by 24%?
Let,
The marked price of the product be 100 tk
After allowing 36% commission, the retail price of the product will be=100-
36=64 tk
So,his selling price is 64 tk
At 8.8% profit,
If selling price is tk 108.8 then cost price will be tk 100
If selling price tk 64 then cost price will be=100*64/108.8
=58.8235 tk
After reducing commission by 24%,the actual commission will bee=(36-
24)%=12%
So,the selling price =(100-12)=88 tk
Profit=(88-58.8235)=29.1765 tk

142.A train went 300 miles from X to city Y at an avg speed of
80mph.At what speed did it travel on the way back if it's avg speed
for the whole trip is 100 mph?
let, the train back Y to X at p mph.
so,
300/80 + 300/p = 300*2/100
or, 1/80 + 1/p= 2/100
or, p = 133.33
So,the train back Y to X at 133.33 mph(ans)

143.Two workers A & B are engaged to do a work.A working alone
takes 8 hours more to complete the job than they both working
together.If B worked alone he would need 4.5 more hrs to complete
the job than they both working together.What time would they take
to do the work together?
Let A works at the rate of 'a' units/hr and B works at the rate of 'b' units/hr.
A and B complete the job in x hrs.
A working alone takes 8 hours more to complete the job than if both worked
together.
=> a(x+8) = (a+b)x
=> ax + 8a = ax + bx
=> 8a = bx or a = bx/8 ---(1)
If B worked alone, he would need 4.5 hours more to complete the job than
they both working together
=> b(x+4.5) = (a+b)x
=> bx +4.5b = ax + bx
=> 4.5b = ax or a = 4.5b/x ---(2)
From (1) and (2), we have
bx/8=4.5b/x
⇒x^2=4.5∗8
⇒x=6
So, They take 6 hrs to do the work together. (Ans)
...........#GikoGiko
Alternate Solution:
Let, A & B together take x hours to complete the work.
Then,A alone takes (x+8)l hrs & B alone takes (x+4.5) hrs
ATQ;
1/(x+8) + 1/(x+4.5) = 1/x
=>x=6
So,A & B take 6 hours to complete the work together. (ans)

144.3 numbers which are co-prime to each other are such that the
product of the first two is 551 & the last two is 1073.What is the
sum of the 3 numbers?
Since the numbers are co- prime, they contain only 1 as the common factor.
Also, the given two products have the middle number in common.
So, Middle number = H.C.F of 551 and 1073=29
First number = 551/29 =19
& Third number =1073/29 = 37
So,Required sum= 19+29+37= 85(ans)

145.Sterling silver is 92.5% of pure silver.How many grams of
sterling silver must be mixed to a 90% silver alloy to obtain a 500g
of a 91% silver alloy?
Let,
X is the number of grams of 92.5% Sterling silver
Then,(500-x) is the number of grams of 90% Silver alloy
ATQ;
92.5*x/100 + 90*(500-x)/100 = 91*500/100
=>0.925x + 450 - 0.90x = 455
=>0.025x = 5
=>x = 200
So, 200 gm of Sterling silver is needed to make 91% silver alloy(ans)
Alternate Solution:
Let,
x = grams of 92.5% silver alloy
Then, since the total weight is 500g, we have
(500-x) = grams of 90% silver
We now write an equation relating the amounts of pure silver in the
two "input" mixtures and in the "output" mixture:
"x" grams at 92.5% silver + (500-x) grams at 90% = 500g at 91%
(x)(0.925) + (500-x)(0.90) = (500)(0.91)
0.925x + 450 - 0.90x = 455
5 = 0.025x
5000 = 25x
5000/25 = x
200 = x
So, to make 500g of an alloy of 91% silver, It need to mix 200g of
92.5% alloy and (500-200)=300g of pure silver. (Ans)

146.You have a rifle with only 3 bullets by which you have to
shootdown a helicopter.You will shoot the bullets one after
another.The probability of the 1st bullet to hit it,is 90% & those of
2nd and 3rd one is 80% & 70% respectively. What is the probability
that the helicopter will shootdown?
Let,
probability of shootdown for 1st bullet P(1) = 90/100
probability of shootdown for 2nd bullet P(2) = 80/100
probability of shootdown for 3rd bullet P(3) = 70/100
so, probability of not shootdown for 1st bullet P'(1) = 10/100
probability of not shootdown for 2nd bullet P'(2) = 20/100
probability of not shootdown for 3rd bullet P'(3) = 30/100
so, probability of not shootdown the helicopter P' = P'(1)xP'(2)xP'(3)
= 6/1000
so, probability of shootdown the helicopter P = 1- 6/1000
= 994/1000
= 0.994 (Ans)

147.Of the 300 subjects who participated in an experiment using
vertual-reality therapy to reduce their fear of heights,40%
experienced sweaty palms,30% experienced bomiting & 75%
experienced dizziness. If all of the subjects experienced at least
one of these effects & 35% of the subjects experienced exactly two
of these effects,how many of the subjects experienced only one of
these effects?
Let,
Swety palms= a,Bomiting= b & Dizziness= c
Suppose,
Subjects experiencing Exactly two of these effects are
(a+b) = p, (b+c) =q & (c+a)=r
Subjects experiencing all 3 effects =x
& Only one of these effects = (a+b+c)
ATQ-1;
a+b+c+p+q+r+x=300..............(1)
ATQ-2;
a+p+x+q=120(as 40% of 300)........(2)
b+p+x+r=90(as 30% of 300)...........(3)
c+q+x+r=225(as 75% of 300)..........(4)
ATQ-3;
p + q+ r = 105(as 35% of 300)..........(5)
Adding equation (2),(3) & (4),we get

148.A project has been started by a man on the 1st day.Each
subsequent day a new person joined the work force & it is known
that the total work got completed on 11th day.If from the starting
day 6 men working on the project & no new men added later,in how
many days the work got completed?
Let,
One person can do 'x' unit of work in one day
So,In 2nd day= 2x, 3rd day = 3x.........., 11th day = 11x unit work is done.
ATQ,
x+2x+3x+......+11x=1
=> x(1+2+3+......+11)=1
=> x*66=1
=> x=1/66
Hence, 1 man' one day's work =1/66
So, 6 men 1 day's work = 6/66=1/11
Here 1/11 work done by 6 man in 1 day
So, 1 work done by 6 man in 11 days (ans)

161.The cost of diamond varies directly as the square of it's
weight.Once this diamond broke into 4 pieces with weights in the
ratio 1:2:3:4.When the pieces were sold,the merchant got tk 70000
less.Find the original price of the diamond?
We are given that cost=(weight)^2-directly as the square of the weight and
total piece was broken into four pieces
first let us find the total weight of initial piece
1k+2k+3k+4k=10k where k is +ve integer
So, cost of intial piece=(10k)^2
Then, let us find the cost of other pieces
p1. with weight k
cost=(k)^2
p2, with weight 2k
cost=(2k)^2=4k^2
p3. with weight 3k
cost=(3k)^2=9k^2
p4, with weight 4k
cost=(4k)^2=16k^2
total cost of pieces=k^2+4k^2+9k^2+16k^2=30k^2
