1. The salary of Lamia and Farzin in the ratio of 7:5 and total of their salary is tk 12000. If
their annual increments are tk 200 and 150 respectively. What will be the ratio of their
salary after one year ? ( Sonali Bank Officer(IT)-2016).
Solution:
Let,
Salary of Lamia=7x
Salary of Farzin=5x
According to the question,
7x+5x=12000
Or,x=1000
So, after one year salary of
Lamia=7*1000+200=7200
Farzin=5*1000+150=5150
Ratio=7200:5150=144:103
Ans:144:103
2. A man is standing on a railway bridge which is 180 meters long. He finds that a train
crosses the bridge in 20 seconds and crosses him in 8 seconds. Find the length of the train
and its speed. (Sonali Bank Officer(IT)-2016).
Solution-1:
Actually The Train
(20-8)=12 second goes 180 meters
So, The 20 sec goes=[(180*20)/12]
=300 meter
So,Length of train
=(300-180)=120 meter
And
Speed of train
=(120/8)m/s
=[(120/8)*18/5]km/hr
=54 km/hr
Answer:120 meter & 54 km/hr
Solution-2:
Let,
Length of the train =x
(180+x)/20=x/8
=>20x=144+8x
=>12x=1440
=>x=120
Solving equation x=120
3
Speed=[120*3600/8]
=54000 meter
=54 km
So length =120 meter
speed =54 km/hr
Answer:120 meter & 54 km/hr
3. A man goes upstream at 10 km hr to a place and back downstream to same point at 6

km/hr. What is his average sped his journey. (Sonali Bank Officer(IT)-2016).
Solution :
Let, distance =30 km [LCM of 10 & 6]
Upstream time
=30/10
=3 hours
Downstream time
=30/6
=5 hours
Total distance
=30+30=60 km
Total time=5+3=8 hours
Average speed
=60/8=7.5 km/hr
Answer:7.5 km/hr
4. The sum of the present age of father and son is 50 years, when son's age will be equal to
the father's present age then the sum of their age shall be 102, what is father's present
age? (Sonali Bank Officer(IT)-2016).
Solution-1:
Let,
Father present age=F years
Son's present age =S years
So,
F+S =50........(1)
When son age equal to father present age the sum of their age=102 years
Total age increased=(102-50)
=52 years
Individual age increased
=52/2=26 years
After 26 years later son's age equal to father age
4
S+26=F
or, F-S=26-----(2)
from Equations 1 & 2
Father =38 years
Son =12 years
Answer:38 years
Solution-2:
Let,
father's age=x
son's age=50-x
Difference of their age=x-(50-x) =2x-50
So after 2x-50 years son age will be equal to father's present age
x+x+2x-50=102
=>x=38
So father's age=38 years
son's age=50-38=12 years
Answer:38 years
5. By selling a table for tk 39 gain is as much percentage as its cost. what is the cost price?
(Sonali Bank Officer(IT)-2016).
Solution:
Let,
Cost price =x
x% gain selling price = x×x/100
x+ x*x/100=39
=> 100x+x^2 =3900
=> x^2+130x-30x-3900=0
=> (x+130)(x-30)=0
So, x=-130 [Not accepted]
or
x-30=0
So x=30
The cost price 30 Tk
Answer:30 Tk

6. A boat takes 3 hours to travel to a certain distance with the stream, and returns to the
original place in 5 hours. How long will it take to travel the same distance in stationary
water? (Sonali Bank Senior Officer(IT)-2016).
Solution-1:
Let,
Speed of boat in stationary water=x
Speed of current=y
Downstream Speed=(x+y) km/hr
Upstream Speed=(x-y) km/h
We know,
Distance=speed*time
Downstream distance=3(x+y)
Upstream distance=5(x-y)
3(x+y)=5(x-y)
Or,3x+3y=5x-5y
Or,x=4y
Distance=3(x+y)
=3*5y
=15 y
Time taken to the same distance in stationary water
=15y/4y
=3 hrs 45 minutes
Answer:3 hrs 45 minutes
Solution-2:
Let, the speed of the boat = x kmph,
the speed of the stream = y kmph,
and the distance = d km.
According to the question:
x+y = d/3 ----------- (i)
&
x-y = d/5 ----------- (ii)
(i) + (ii) =>
2x = d/3 + d/5 = 8d/15
x = 4d/15
Required time = Distance/Speed = d/x= d/(4d/15) = 15/4 hrs = 3hrs and 45mins.
Ans: 3 hours and 45 minutes.
7. A man has Tk300000. He invests a part of the amount at 8%, and the remaining amount at
10% p.a. At the end of the year he earns a profit of Tk25600 from his entire investment. Find
the amount he invested under each rate. (Sonali Bank Senior Officer(IT)-2016).
6
Solution:
Suppose,
He invested Tk x at 8% rate.
So, He invested Tk (300000-X) at 10% rate.
0.08X + 0.1(300000-X) = 25600
Or, 0.08X + 30000 - 0.1X= 25600
Or,0.02X = 4400
Or,X= 4400/0.02
Or, X= 220000
So, he invested Tk220000 at 8% rate,
and Tk(300000-220000) or Tk80000 at
10% rate.
Ans: Tk220000 at 8%, Tk80000 at 10%.
8. M purchased a 30-inch TV whose height was 18 inches. If the size of a TV is expressed as

the lengths of its diagonal, find the width of the TV M purchased. (Sonali Bank Senior
Officer(IT)-2016).
Solution:
Let,
The width of the TV = X inches.
X² + 18² = 30²
Or, X² = 900 - 324
Or, X² = 576
Or, X = 24
So, the width of the TV is 24 inches.
Ans: 24 inches.
9. The ratio of the girls and boys in a class was 2:5. If two new girls join the class, the ratio
becomes 1:2. What was the total number of students in the class? (Sonali Bank Senior
Officer(IT)-2016).
Solution:
Let,
the number of girls =2p, the number of boys=5p
And the total number of students in the class=2p+5p=7p
(2p+2) : (5p) = 1 : 2
Or, (2p+2)/(5p) = 1/2
Or, 5p = 4p + 4
Or, p = 4
7
So, the total number of students in the class was = 7×4 =28.
Ans: 28
10. How many liters of a solution that is 15% salt must be added to 5 liters of a solution that
is 8% salt so that the resulting solution is 10% salt? (Sonali Bank Senior Officer(IT)-2016).
Solution:
Suppose,
X liters of 15% should be added.
15% of X + 5×0.08= 10% of (X+5)
Or, 0.15X + 0.4 = 0.10(X+5)
Or, 0.15X + 0.4 = 0.10X + 0.5
Or, 0.15X- 0.10X = 0.5 - 0.4
Or, 0.05X = 0.1
Or, 5X = 10
Or, X = 2
Ans: 2 liters.
11.The time taken for covering a distance of x km in downstream is equal to the time taken
to cover (x-18) km in upstream. The speed of upstream is 6 km/hr less than the speed
downstream. If the speed of the boat in still water is 15km/hr, then find the value of x.
Solution:
The speed of the boat in fixed water = 15 kmph
Let, the speed of the water current = v kmph
Downstream Speed=(15+v) km/hr
Upstream Speed=(15-v)km/hr
So,
Then the difference between the upstream & downstream speed will be
= {(15+v)-(15-v)}
= 2v
Given,
2v= 6
=>v= 3 kmph
So, the downstream speed=18 kmph &
Upstream speed = 12 kmph
Now,
Time=Distance/Speed
(x-18)/12 = x/18
=> x= 54
So the value of x = 54

Answer:54 km
12.The sum of two numbers is 13 and their product is 30.What is the sum of the squares of
the two numbers?[Dhaka Bank cash-2016]
Solution:
Let,
Number are =x,y
Now,
x+y=13----(1)
xy=30------(2)
We know,
x^2+y^2=(x+y)^2-2xy
Or,x^2+y^2=(13)^2-2*30
Or, x^2+y^2=109
Answer:109
13. The simple interest on a sum of money will be tk 600 after 10 years. If the principal is
trebled after 5 years, what will be the total interest at the end of the tenth year?[Dhaka
Bank -2016] [UCBL PO-2017].
Solution:
Here,
10 y. interest=600 Tk
1 yrs. interest=600/10=60 Tk
5 yrs interest=(60*5)=300 tk
When principal is trebled then interest will be also be trebled

=(60*3*5)
=900 tk( Last 5 five yrs)
Total interest in 10 years

=(300+900)
=1200 Tk
Answer:1200 Tk
14. 10% of the voters did not cast their vote in an election between two candidates. 10% of
the votes polled were found invalid. The successful candidate got 54% of the valid votes
and won by a majority of 1620 votes. Find the number of voters enrolled on the voters list.
[Bangladesh Bank IT-2016].
Solution:
Successful candidate gots=54%
Other candidate got=(100-54)=46%
9
Successful candidate got majority

=(54-46)%
=8%
8%---------------------=1620
100%-----------------=[(1620*100)/8]
=20250
Invalid vote=10%
So valid vote=(100-10)=90%
Now,
90% vote =20250
And 100% vote=[(20250*100)/90]
=22500
From question Did not cast vote=10%
Cast vote=(100-10)=90%
So,
90% cast vote=22500
100% or total voters
=[(22500*100)/90]
=25,000
Answer:25,000
15 .Two friends P and Q started a business investing in the ratio of 5: 6 R joined them after
six months investing an amount equal to that of Q 's .At the end of the year ,20% profit was
earned which was equal to tk 98000.What was the amount invested by R?
[Bangladesh Bank IT-2026]
Solution-1:
Suppose,
The total profit be z Tk
Then,
20% of z = 98000
Or, z =(98000∗100)/20
Or, z= 4,90,000
Total profit after one year =4,90,000 Tk
Let ,
the capitals of P, Q and R be
5x, Rs. 6x and Rs. 6x respectively.
Then,
5x*1+6x*1+6x * 1/2= 490000
Or, (10x +12x+6x)/2=490000
Or,28x=490000*2
Or, x=35000
10
So, R's investment=(6*35000)

=210000 Tk
Answer:210000 Tk
Solution-2:
Suppose,
The total profit be z Tk
Then,
20% of z= 98000
Z= (98000∗100)/20
Or,z= 4,90,000
Let ,
the capitals of P, Q and R be
5x, Rs. 6x and Rs. 6x respectively.
Then,
(5x * 12)+(6x * 12)+(6x * 6)= 490000 * 12
Or,168x = 490000 * 12
Or, x = (490000∗12168)
= 35000
R's investment = 6x =(6 * 35000) =210000 Tk
Answer:2,10,000 Tk

(A+B)'s 2days work =(1/8+1/12)
=5/24
So (A+B)'s 8days work =(5*4/24)
=20/24
work left= (1-20/24)=4/24 =1/6..
at 9th day, A's 1days work = 1/8
work left =(1/6-1/8) =1/24
17
B can do 1/12 portion of work in= 1day

so 1/24 portion of work can be done in =12/24 days
=1/2 day..
so work will be finished in (8+1+1/2) = 9.5 days
Answer:9.5 days
30.When a producer allows 36% commission on the price of his product, earns a profit of
8.8% what would be his profit percent if the commission is reduced by 24%?[PBL SO/O-2014]
Solution:
Let,
cost price of the product=Tk.100
8.8% profits on cost price then
Selling price of product
=(100+100 of 8.8%)=108.8 Tk
36% commission on cost price then Selling=(100-100 of 36%)=64 Tk
When
SP is 108.8 Tk then cp=100 Tk
SP-----64----------------=(100*64)/108.8
=58.82 Tk
If the commission is reduced by 24% then actual commission gave
=(36-34)=12%
12% commission on cost price then Selling price=(100-12)=88 Tk
Profit=(88-58.82)=29.18 Tk
Now,
Profit percent he got
=[(29.18*100)/58.82]=49.6%
Answer:49.6%
31.Before the budget, a businessmen had increased the price of his products by 12%.In the
budget,a 10% sales tax was imposed on that product.As a result,the profit ultimately
increased by Tk 64 .what was the original price of the product? [EXIM BANK -2015]
Solution:
Let ,
The original price of the product is 100
at 12% increase price of the product before budget
=(100+100 of 12%)
=112 Tk
after deducting 10% sales tax price of the product
=(112- 112*10%)
=100.8 Tk
so profit (100.8-100)=.8
now original price of the product
18
=(64*100)/.8
=8000 Tk
Answer:8000 Tk
32.A room is half as long again as it is broad. The cost of carpeting the room at Tk. 5 per
sq.m is Tk.270 and the cost of papering the four walls at Tk.10 per sq.m is Tk.1720. If a door
and 2 windows occupy 8 sq.m.Find the dimensions of the room. [PBL SO/OFFICER-2016]
Solution:
Let,
Breadth of room= x
Length of room= (x+x/2) = 3x/2
Area of floor
= Total carpet cost/ rate
= 270/5
= 54 square meter
3x*x/2 = 54
x=6
From the equation we find,
Breadth = 6m
Length= 3*6/2 = 9m
Now,
Papered area,
= (1720/10) sq. km
= 172 sqm
So,
Area of one door and two window = 8 sq.m
Total area of 4 walls
= (172+8)
= 180 sq.m.
Now,
Area of four wall
=[2(length+breadth)]*height
2(6+9)*h = 180
30h = 180
h=6
So,
Breadth= 6m
Length= 9m
Height = 6m
Answer: 6,9 & 6 meter

33. A man deposited Tk. 50000 at a certain interest for 1 year. After 1 year he received
Tk.55280 as both principal & interest after deduction of Tk.120 as government levy and 10%
on interest as government tax. what was the interest rate in percentage? (Social Islamic
Bank -2005).
Solution:
Here,
Deposited amount=50000 Tk
Interest after deducting Tax and Levy
( 55280-50000)
= Tk.5280
Interest Before deducting levy
=5280+120
= Tk.5400
10%interest as government tax
Now,
(100-10)=90% =5400;
then 100% ≡ 5400*100/90
= Tk.6000
That is, Interest before deducting Tax and Levy = Tk.6000
So, Interest Rate

= (6000/50000)*100
= 12%
Answer:12%

35.Abul & Balam ran a race of 480 m. In the first heat, Abul gives Balam a head start of 48 m
and beats him by 1/10th if a minute. In the second heat, Abul gives Balam a head start of 144
m and is beaten by 1/30th of a minute. What is Balam's speed in m/s?[DBBL PO-2016].
Solution:
In first heat, Balam gets a head start of 48 m
Thus the distance travelled by Balam in first heat
= (480-48)
= 432m
1/10th of a minutes= 6 seconds beat by him
In 2nd heat Balam travelled
= (480-144)
=336m
1/30th of a minutes= 2 seconds
Let,
Balam's speed= S m/s
(432/S)-6= (336/S)+2
=> 432/S-336/S= 6+2
=> 432-336/S= 8
=>96= 8S
=>S= 96/8
so, S= 12m/s
Answer:12 m/s
36. A 20 liter mixture of milk and water contains milk and water in the ratio 3:2. 10 liters of
the mixture is removed and replaced with pure milk and the operation is repeated once
more. At the end of the two removal and replacement, what is the ratio of milk and water
in the resultant mixture? [DBBL PO-2016]
Solution:
Step-1:
22
Ratio of milk & water=3:2

Milk in the mixture= 20 x 3/5 = 12 ltr
Water in the mixture= 20 x 2/5 = 8 ltr
Ratio = 3 : 2
Step-2:
After removal of10 liters mixture,the amount of milk will be = 10 x 3/5 = 6 ltr
water = 10 x 2/5 = 4 ltr.
After pouring 10 ltr. Of pure milk,

New mixture
Milk = 12 - 6 + 10 = 16 ltr.
Water = 8 - 4 + 0 = 4 ltr
Ratio = 16 : 4 = 4 : 1.
Step-3
[ 10 liters replaced ]
milk = 10 x 4/5 = 8 ltr
water = 10 x 1/5 = 2 ltr
Now addition of pure milk 10 ltr.
Milk = 8 + 10 = 18 ltr.
Water = 2 ltr.
Ratio = 18 : 2 = 9 : 1
Ans: 9 : 1
37.During a special promotion a certain filling station is offering 10% discount on gas
purchased after 10 gallons.If kim purchased 20 gallons of gas and Zeny purchased 25
gallons of gas the zenis total per gallon discount is what percent of kims total per gallon
discount?
Solution:
Kim paid
=(10+10-10 of 10%)
=19 gallon,
Discount=20-19=1
So,the overall discount she got was =(1*100)/20=5%
Zeny's purchased 25 gallons of gas.

She paid for (10 + 0.9*15) = 23.5
gallons,
Discount=(25-23.5)=1.5 gallon
so the overall discount she got was 1.5*100/25 = 6%.
From question

P% of Kim=6
(P/100)*5=6
P=120%
Answer:120%
38.The simple interest on a certain sum of money for 2.5 years at 12% per annum is Tk. 40
less than the simple interest on the same sum for 3.5 years at 10% per annum. Find the sum.
[PBL CASH-2016]
Solution 1:
Suppose,
Sum be = x Tk
(3.5*10%)*x - (2.5*12%)*x = 40
Or, 35x-30x = 4000
Or,5x = 4000
Or,x = 800
Answer:800 Tk
Solution-2:
Effective rate of interest for 3.5 years=3.5*10=35%
Effective rate of interest for 2.5 years=2.5*12=30%
Difference of interest rate=35-30=5%
Now, 5% is..........................40
Then, 100% is........40*100/5

40. A retailer buys 40 pens at the market price of 36 pens from a wholesaler. If he sells
these pens giving a discount of 1%, what is the profit percent? [PBL CASH-2016]
Solution:
Let,
40 of pens cost price=36 SP =x Tk
cp of each pen =x/40 Tk
sp of each pen=x/36 Tk
Deducting 1% discount, sp
= 99%*x/36
=99x/3600
profit =99x/3600 - x/40

=9x/3600
Profit percentage
= [(9x/3600)/(x/40)]*100
=10%
Answer:10%
Alternative Solution:
Let, Market price of each pen be Tk.100,
So, market price of 36 pens
=Tk. 3600
Then, Buying price of 40 pens =Tk.3600
So, Buying price of each pen
= 3600/40
=Tk.90
At 1% discount, SP =99% of 100
=Tk. 99
So, Profit =99 –90
=Tk. 9
Profit %=9*100/90
=10%(Ans.)
41. In 2016, the number of pairs of the shoes that a company sold to retailers decreased by
20 percent, while the price per pair increased by 20 percent from that of the previous year.
The company's revenue from sales of the shoes in 2016 was taka 300000. What was the
revenue from the sale of the shoes in previous year? [JBL AEO (IT)-2016]
Solution:
Let,
25
In 2015 The company sold 100 pair of shoes

and
Price was Tk. 100 per pair.
So,Total Revenue 2015 was
=(100×100)
= Tk. 10000 Tk.
So, Revenue in 2016 was
Tk. 120×80= Tk. 9600.
Thus, actual revenue in 2015 was Tk. (3,00,000×10000)/9600
= Tk. 3,12,500
Answer:3,12,500 Tk
Alternative Solution:
Let,
Previous year,
Shoes sold = x numbers
and
price per shoes=y Tk
Total revenue= xy Tk.
In 2016,
Shoes sold = (x- 0.20x) numbers and price per shoes=(y+0.20y) Tk.
(x- 0.20x)× (y+0.20y)= 300000
Or, 0.80x ×1.20y=300000
Or,xy = 312500
Total revenue= 3,12,500 Tk.
Answer:3,12,5000 Tk

in the company and each of them belongs to at least one of the division.The cost of each
share is tk.10.If the technical division has 15 employees and the recruitment division has 10
employees, then what is the total cost of the shares given by the company?
[Jamuna Bank MTO-2016]
Solution-1:
Given that,
The number of employees in the technical & recruitment division be 15 & 10 respectively
Agian
Each technical person & each recruitment person given 15 & 10 share respectively
Hence the net share given equals
=(15*15)+(10*10)
31
=325
So the net worth of the share
=(325*10)

Shares :
Technical -15
Recruiting -10
Both-25
No. of employees :
Technical -15
Recruitment -10
Total-20
Both=25-20=5
so, employees only in Technical =15-5=10
Employees in recruiting =10-5=5
Per share price: 10 Tk
Cost of both-25*5*10=1250
cost of recruiting -10*5*10=500
cost of technical -15*10*10=1500

53.X sells an item to Y at a profit of 28% on his cost and Y sells the same item to Z at a loss of
25% on his cost. If Y has thus sold the item to Z at Tk 2 less than the cost of the item to X,
what is the cost of the item to X in Tk ? (NCC Bank -2002)
Solution:
Cost price of X is 100 Tk
Selling price of X=100*128/100=tk.128
Cost price of Y is 128 Tk

Selling price of Y tk.
=128*75/100
= Tk.96
Cost price of Z tk.96
Difference=100-96= 4 tk less.
Now,
4 tk less when Cost price tk. 100
1 tk less when Cost price tk. 100/4
2 tk less when Cost price tk. 100*2/4= 50 tk
Answer:50 Tk

54.A can do a piece of work in 10 days, while B can do it in 15 days.They work together for 5
days and rest of the work done by C in 2 days.If they get tk 4500 for the whole work, how
should they divide the money? (RAKUB officer-2016)
Solution:
A can do in 1 day = 1/10 part work
A can do in 5 days =5/10= ½ part work
B can do in 1 day=1/15 part work
B can do in 5 days=5/15=1/3 part work
In 5 days (A+B) work
= (1/2+1/3)
= 5/6 part work
So, in 2 days C does work
= 1 –5/6
= 1/6 part work
Now,
Share of A =4500×(1/2)=2250 Tk
Share of B = 4500×(1/3)=1500 Tk
Share of C = 4500×(1/6)=750 Tk
Answer:2250 Tk,1500 Tk & 750 Tk

60. Tk.1500 is invested at a rate of 10% simple interest and interest is added to the principal
after every 5 years. in how many years will it amount to tk.2500 ?
Solution:
Here,
P=1500 Tk
T=5 years
R=10%
For first 5 year interest
=(1500*10*5)
=750
So principal after 5 year
=(1500+750)= 2250.
Now interest
=(2500-2250)
36
= 250 Tk
Again
I=250 Tk
P=2250 Tk
R=10%
Then,
T= (250*100)/(2250*10)
= 10/9 years
So total year= 5+10/9
= 6 years 1 month 10 days or 6.11 years taken to receive 2500 Tk
Answer: 6.11 year
61. In a two- digit number, the digit in the unit's place is more than twice the digit in the
ten's place by 1. If the digit in the unit's place and the ten' s place are interchanged,
differences between the newly formed number and original number is less than the
original number by 1. What is the original number ? [Janata Bank AEO-2015]
Solution:
Let,
Ten’s digit = x,
Unit’s digit = 2x+1
The number is
= 10x+(2x+1)
=12x+1
If the digit in the Unit place & tenths place are interchange
Then the number
=10(2x+1)+x
=20 x +10+x
=21x +10
(21x+10)–(12x+1)=(12x+1)-1
we get x = 3
So, the original number is

= 10×3+2×3+1
=37
Ans: 37

65. By selling 100 bananas, a fruit-seller gains the selling price of 20 bananas. His gain
percentage is ? {Very Important Math}.
Solution:
Let,
selling price of a banana is 1 tk.
so, selling price of hundred banana is 100tk.
gain =20 tk
cost =100-20=>80tk
cost price 80 taka than profit 20
cost price 100taka than profit 20/80*100
=25%
Ans:25%
Alternative:
We know,
Gain = (S.P. of 100 bananas) - (C.P. of 100 bananas)
⇒ (S.P.of 20) = (S.P of 100) - (C.P. of 100)
⇒ S.P.of 80 = C.P. of 100
Let,
C.P. of each banana = Tk. 1
C.P. of 80 banana = Tk. 80
S.P. of 80 banana = Tk. 100
Gain=100-80=Tk.20
Required percentage = (20 / 80) x 100 % = 25%

1 min A pipe done=60/20=3 unit
1 min B pipe done=60/30=2 unit
1 min C pipe done=60/15=4 unit
So, 3 min A , B & C done
=3+2-4
=1 unit
So,
165 min A,B & C done
=(165*1)/3
=55 unit
166 min A turn on and done =3 unit
Total work=55+3=58 unit
167 min B turn on and done=2 unit

68. A dealer gives two successive discounts of 10% and 20% on the marked price of 5000 of a
Smartphone, he had to give a further discount equal to 20% of his cost price on his new
selling price, as a result he made neither a profit nor a loss. Find the cost price of the
mobile? {Very Important Math}
Solution:
Let,
40
Cost price= x tk
after 10% discount S.P
= 5000 - 10% of 5000
= 4500 tk
Again
After 20% discount S.P = 4500 - 20% of 4500
= 3600 tk
x = 3600 - 20% of x
x = 3600 - x/5
x = (5 * 3600)/6
Or, x = 3000 tk
Answer:3000 Tk

10. A and B can do a piece of work in 18 days, B and C can do it in 24 days, A and C can do
it in 36 days. In how many days will A, B and C finishes it, working together and separately?
[Bangladesh Bank AD -2017
Solution:
(A + B)'s 1 day's work = 1/18
(B + C)'s 1 day's work = 1/24
(A + C)'s 1 day's work = 1/36
2(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work
=1/18 + 1/24 + 1/36=9/72
=1/8 portion of the work
(A +B + C)'s 1 day's work
So,(A +B + C) together can finish the work in 16 days.
A’s 1 day's work
=1/16 – 1/24
= 1/48 portion of the work
A alone can finish the work in 48 days.
B's 1 day's work
= 1/16 – 1/36
B alone can finish the work in 144/5=28.8 days
C’s 1 day work
=1/16-1/18
C alone can finish the work in 144 days.
Ans: Together=16 days, A=48 days, B=28.8 days and C=144 days.

Let,
LCM of 3 & 4= 12
Per 12 days A work= 12 days
Per 12 days B work=(12/3)=4 days
Per 12 days C work=(12/4)=3 days
In 12 days, (A+B+C)'s work
=(12/20+4/30+3/60)
=47/60 part of the work
Remaining work
=(1-47/60)
[Every third day B help A in doing the work]
Again, in 3 days (A+B)'s work
=(3/20+1/30)
Remaining work
=(13/60-11/60)
=2/60=1/30 part of the work
Page 5 of 54
On the16th day, (A+C)'s work =1/20+1/60=1/15 part of the work
1/15 part of work is done by (A+C) in 1 day
1/30 part of work is done by (A+C) in 15*(1/30)=1/2 day
Total Time taken to complete the whole work
=(12+3+1/2)

X and Y be cost of the equities type of A & B
The cost of 4 equities of A=4 X
The cost of 5 equities of B=5Y
4X + 5 Y =27
Let,
4X=P
5Y=Q
So P is multiple of 4 & Q is multiple of 5
Now
P+Q=27
Or, P=27-Q
Since,Q is multiple of 5
Q=5,10,15,20-------etc
Q=5; P=27-5=22 is not multiple of 4
Q=10;P=27-10=17 is not multiple of 4
Q=15;P=27-15=12 is multiple of 4
Q=20;P=27-20=7 is not multiple of 4
So
Q=15
P=12
Now
P=4X
Or,X=12/4=3
Q=5Y
Or,Y=15/5=3
Therefore,
2 equities of A & 3 equities of B
=2X+3Y
=2*3+3*3
=6+9

beginning and 100 men after 35 days and completes the work in stipulated time. If he had not
engaged the additional men, how many days behind schedule would it be finished?
[Same as PBL JO MCQ-2014]
Solution:
100 Men 40 days done 1 portion W
100 Men 35 days done 35/40«»«»«
=7/8 portion
Remaining work=(1-7/8)
=1/8 portion
Remaining days=(40-35)=5 days
Total worker=(100+100)=200
200 worker 1/8 portion done 5 day
1========1/8========== 5*200

17:In a certain office, 1/3 of the workers are women, 1/2 of the women are married and 1/3 of
the married women have children. If 3/4 of the men are married and 2/3 of the married have
children, what part of the workers are without children?
[MTB MTO MCQ -2013]
Solution:
Let,
The number of workers in the office is x
Female=x/3
Female + Married
=1/2 of x/3
=x/6 portion
Female + Married+ Children
=(1/3 of x/6)
=x/18 portion
From question,
Male=(x-x/3)=2x/3 portion
Male + Married
=3/4 of 2x/3
=x/2 portion
Male + Married+ Children
=(2/3 of x/2)
=x/3
Total worker with children
=x/3+x/18
=7x/18 portion
Total worker without no children
=(x-7x/18)
=11x/18
Required worker no children =(11x/18)/x =11/18, (Answer:11/18)

*[AB Bank -2002]
*[Al Arafa Bank-2016]
*[Meghan Bank-2014]
*[Premier Bank-2010]
*[One Bank-2008]
Solution:
The sum of Weight
A+B+C = 84×3 = 252 kg------(1)
If D join,total Weight of
A+B+C+D = 80×4 = 320 kg----(2)
So, the weight of D
=320 - 252 = 68 kg
And weight of E = 68+3 = 71 kg
Again, the sum of Weight of B+C+D+E = 79×4 = 316 kg
Weight of B+C+68+71 = 316 kg
B+C = 316-139 =177 kg
Putting the value of (B+C) equation no (1)
A+B+C=252
Or,A+177=252
Or, A=(252-177)=75
Answer: 75 kg

23.A number consists of three digits whose sum is 10.The middle digit is equal to the sum of
the other two and the number will be increased by 99 if these two digit are reversed.What is
the number?
[DBBL AO-2017]
Solution:
Let,
Unit digit = x
Tenth digit = y
&
Hundred digit = z
So, The original number
=100z+10y+x
1st condition,
x+y+z=10-------------------(1)
2nd condition,
y=x+z----------------------(2)
If unit digit & Hundred digit are interchanged their place the new number is =100x +10y +z
(100x +10y +z)-(100z+10y+x)=99
===========================
===========================
Or, z=x-1-------------------(3)
Putting the value of z in equation(2)
y= x+x-1
Or, y=2x -1----------(4)
again,
Putting the value of y and z in equation(1)
x+2x -1+x -1=10
Page 12 of 54
Or, x=3
Now,putting the value of x in equation(4)
y=5
Putting the value of x & y in equation(1)
Z=2
Hence, the original Number is
= (100*2)+(10*5)+3
=253

24.A picnic was arranged by 'm' students.Total cost of picnic was estimated to be 'y'
Tk.Unfortunately, z students withdrew their names from the picnic.How many more tk would
each of the remaining students have to pay?
[DBBL AO-2017]
Solution:
Given that,
Total student = m
&
Total cost of picnic was estimated to be= y tk
So Cost per student was = y/m Tk
Since z student withdrew their name from picnic,
Now remaining student=(m-z)
And
Nwe cost per student is = y/(m-z)
So, Extra cost needed for rest of the stds now = y/(m-z) -y/m
= yz/m(m-z)
Answer: yz/m(m-z)

28.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, and exactly 40%
of the investors in securities have investments in equities.How many have investment in
equities?
Solution:
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
===============
Or, Z=20
Hence,
the number of people with investments in equities is:

4 play chess, carom and table tennis together. Find the number of students who play chess
and carom but not table tennis.
[Janata Bank AEO-RC-2017]
Page 15 of 54
Solution:
Let ,
Number of students play chess=n(A)
Number of students play carom =n(B)
And
Number of students play table tennis=n(C)
Given that,
n(U)=40
n(A)=18
n(B)=27
n(C)=20
n(A^C) = 7
n(B^C)=12
and
n(A^B^ C)=4
Suppose,
n(A^B)=?
We know that
n(U)= n(A)+ n(B)+n(C)-n(A^B) -n(B^C)- n(A^C)+n(A^B^C)
Or,40=18+27+20-7-12-n(A^B)+4
Or,40=50-n(A^B)
Or, n(A^B)=10
But there are 4 people who play all three games.
So,
The number of who play chess and carom but not table tennis
=n(A^B)-n(A^B^C)

32. Aslam and Babul invested in a business in the ratio 3:2. Assume that 5 percent of total
profit goes to workers' provident fund. If Aslam's share is Tk. 855000, what is the amount of
total profit?
Solution:
Suppose,
Aslam's profit share is = 3x
And Babul's profit share is = 2x
So, total profit after Worker Profodend Fund deduction (i.e: 95% of total profit)
= 3x+2x = 5x
3x = 855000
Or, x=855000/3
So,
5x = 855000×5/3 = 1425000
According to the question, 5% of total profit goes to workers profident Fund
So, the remaining 95% of profit is distributed between Aslam and Babul.
So, 95% of total profit = 1425000
100% of total profit = 1425000×100/95 = 1500000
Ans: Tk. 1500000

36. Given a = 3 + 2√2, find the value of (√a - 1/√a)
Solution:
Given that,
a = 3 + 2√2
Or, a = 2 + 1 + 2√2
Or, a= (√2)² + 2×√2×1 + 1²
Page 17 of 54
Or, a = (√2 + 1)²
so, √a = (√2+1)
And,
1/√a = 1/(√2+1)
= (√2-1)/{(√2+1)(√2-1)}
= (√2-1)
Therefore,
√a - 1/√a = (√2+1) - (√2-1) = 2.

A pair(Two) of trousers is y Tk
and a hat is z
4x+4y+2z = 5600 ----------------- (i)
9x+9y+6z = 12900 --------------- (ii)
From (ii) no equation,
Or, 9x+9y+6z= 12600
Or, 3x +3y+2z =4300------------(iii)
(i) no equation--(ii) no equation=>
4x + 4y + 2z =5600
3x + 3y + 2z =4300
---------------------------------
Or, x + y =1300 ---------(iv)
(I) --(ii)*4 =
4x + 4y + 2z=5600
4x +4y. =1300*4
-----------------------------------
Or , 2 z =400

money?
[Bank ASIA MTO -2017]
[KSB SO-2013]
[23th BCS WRITTEN]
Solution:
Total amount=(400+500)=900 Tk
Total interest=(994.5-900)=94.5 Tk
Page 18 of 54
3.5% interest rate
400 Tk 1/2 years interest
=[(7*400)/(2*100*2)]
= 7 Tk.
Remaining interest=(94.5-7)=87.5 Tk
5% rate of interest
500 Tk 1 years interest
=(5*500/100)=25 Tk
25 Tk interest for 1 years
87.5 Tk interest(87.5/25)=3.5 years
So after 3.5 years then he took second amount

41.The length of a rectangle field is 1.5 times of width.An amount of Tk 10,260 was needed
to cover the field with grass at the rate of 1.9 Tk per square meter.How much would it cost to
fence the four sides of the rectangular field at the rate of Tk 2.5 per meter?
[One Bank (SCO)-2017]
Page 19 of 54
[Lankabangla Finance -MTO-2017]
Solution:
Area of the rectangle
=(10260/1.9)
=5400 square meter
Let,
Width of the rectangle=x meter
Length of rectangle=(3x/2) meter
We know,
(3x/2)*x=5400
===========
==========
Or, x=60
And
Length=(3*60/2)=90 meter
Perimeter of rectangle
=2[90+60]
=300 meter
So total Tk needed around rectangle fence=(300*2.5)=750 Tk
Answer:750 Tk
42.A, B, C can complete a piece of work in 16, 32, 48 days respectively.They started working
together but C left after working 4 days and B left 2 days before the completion of the
work.How many days require to complete the work?
[Social Islamic Bank-PO-207]
[LankaBangla Finance Ltd.MTO-2017]
Solution-1:
Let,
Total time taken to complete the whole work is x days
x/16+(x-2)/32+(4/48)=1
Or,6x+3x-6+8=96
Or,9x=94/9
Answer:94/9 or 10.44 days
Alternative Solution-2:
Suppose,
Total work be 96 units
[LCM of 26,32 & 48 is 96]
Efficiency of work rate per day of A,B & C is
A= 96/16=6 units
B= 96/32=3 units
C=96/48=2 units
Worked done by A,B,C in 4 days
= {(6+3+3)*4}=44 units
Worked done by A in 2 days
= 2*6= 12 units
Remaining work
= 96-(44+12)
=40 units
A & B 1 day done=(6+3)=9 units
Remaining worked done by A & B
Page 20 of 54
= 40/9
Total days required to finish the whole work={4+2+(40/9)}=10(4/9) days
Answer:10.44 days
43.The total cost price of two watches is Tk. 840. One is sold at a profit of 16% and the other
at a loss of 12%. There is no loss or gain in the whole transaction. The cost price of the watch
on which the shopkeeper gains, is-
Solution:
Let,
Cost price of first watch is Tk x
So,
Cost price of Second watch
=Tk (840-x)
16% profits Selling price of first watch={(116*x)/100} Tk
12% loss SP of second watch
={88*(840-x)/100} Tk
(116x/100)+{(88*840-88x)/100}=840
or, (116x+ 73920-88x)/100=840
or, 28x+73920= 84000
or, 28x = 84000-73920
or, x= 100840/28
or, x= 360
Now, Cost price of first watch
= 360 Tk
C.p. of second = (840-x) = (840-360)= 480Tk.(answer
Solution-2:
Let,
Cost price of first watch is tk.x
And cost price of second watch is tk(840-x)
16% of x = 12% of (840-x)
Or, 16x = 12*(840-x)
Or, 16x = 10080 -12x
Or, 28x = 10080
Or, x = 360
And cost price of other watch is
=(840-360)
=480 Tk
So , cost price of two watches are 360 & 480
Answer: 360 Tk ; 480 Tk

60.Twenty-four men can complete a work in sixteen days.Thirty-two women can complete
the same work in twenty-four days. Sixteen men and sixteen women started working for
twelve days. How many more men are to be added to complete the work remaining work in 2
days?
[PBL SO/Officer-2017]
Solution:
Here,
24 men can complete in 16 days 1 portion work
1 man can complete in 1 day=1/(16*24)
=1/384 portion
Again,
32 women can complete in 24 days 1 portion
1 woman can complete in 1 day=1(32*24)
=1/768 portion
Both,
1man +1 woman work in 1 day=(1/384+1/768)
16 men +16 women work 12 days
=[(16*12)/384 + (16*12)/768] portion
=(1/2+1/4) portion
=3/4 portion
Remaining work
=1-3/4
=1/4 portion
Let,
X more men should be added then the remaining work complete in 2 days
Total men =(16+x)
1 man in 1 day done=1/384 portion
(16+x) men in 2 days done=(16+x)*2/384 portion
Similarly,
16 women in 2 days done=(16*2)/768 portion
(16+x)*2/384 +32/768=1/4
Or,(32+2x)/384=1/4-32/768

65.A and B together can do a piece of work in 12 days, which B and C can do in 16 days.
After A has been working at it for 5 days and B for 7days C finishes in 13 days. In how many
days C alone will do the work?
Solution:
Work done by A & B in 1 day=1/12
Work done by B & C in 1 day=1/16
Let,
Work done by C in 1 day=x
From question,
Work done by A in 5 days+ B in 7 days+ C in 13 days=1
So,
(A+B)'s 5 days work+(B+C)'s 2 days work + C's 11x days work=1
[See Picture Combination work ]
Or, (5/12)+(2/16)+11x=1
Or, x =1/24, So, C alone can finish the work it in 24 days, Answer:24 days

66.Two outlets of a motor manufacturing company reported that revenue from outlet X in
2013 was down 11 percent from 2012 and revenue from outlet Y in 2013 were up 7 percent
from 2012. If total revenue from outlet X and Y in 2013 was up 1 percent from 2012, what is
the ratio of revenue from outlet X in 2012 from outlet Y in 2012?
[Jamuna Bank PO-2014]
Solution:
Let,
In 2012, X & Y outlets income was 100x & 100 y
Total Revenue of X & Y outlets in 2012 was
=100X +100Y
=100(X+Y)
In 2013, X outlets income down 11%
So, X outlets net income in 2013 was
=(100-11)X
=89X
In 2013,Y outlets income were up 7%
So, Y outlets net income in 2013 was
=(100+7)Y
=107Y
In 2013, X and Y outlets total revenue was
=(89X+107Y)
But,
2013 total revenue increased 1% from 2012 total revenue
=100(X+Y)+100(X+Y) of 1%
=101X +101Y
101X +101Y=89X+107Y
===================
Or, X:Y=1:2

67.Suppose you deposited Tk 10000 on January 1. 2012 at 12.50% interest rate for 1 year. On
July 1 2013 Tk15000 at 12% interest rate for 6 months and on October 1 2013 Tk 20000 at
11.5% interest rate for 3 months(assume that the stated interest rates are simple and annual).
Suppose you withdrew all deposits including due interests on December 31. 2013. Calculate
the overall annual rate of interest you have received.
[MTB MTO-2014][SBL MTO-2016]
Solution:(Collected)
#Investment_01:
•• Tk. 10000 from 01.01.2016 to 31.12.2016 @12.50%.
Total Interest Earned = Tk. 10000 × 12.50% × 12/12 = Tk. 1250.
Weighted average annual investment = Tk. 10000 × 12/12 = Tk. 10000.
#Investment_02:
•• Tk. 15000 from 01.07.2016 to 31.12.2016 @12%.
Total Interest Earned = Tk. 15000 × 12% × 6/12 = Tk. 900.
#Investment_03:
•• Tk. 20000 from 01.10.2016 to 31.12.2016 @11.50%.
Total Interest Earned = Tk. 20000 × 11.50% × 3/12 = Tk. 575.
Page 33 of 54
Now:
◘ Total Interest Earned = Tk. 1250 + 900 + 575 = Tk. 2725.
◘ Weighted Average Annual Investment To Earn The Interest = Tk. 10000 + 7500 + 5000 =
Tk. 22500.
Therefore:
Overall Annual Rate of Interest = 2725/22500 = 0.121111.... = 12.11%.

68.A part time employee whose hourly wage was increased by 25 percent decided to reduce
the number of hours worked per week so that the employees total weekly income would
remain unchanged.By what percent should the number of hours work be reduced?
[ICB SO-2011]
Solution:
Let,
The Hourly wage =W
Initially working hours=H
Reduced working hour=H1
H*W =25% of W*H1
Or, H=1.25 H1
Or, H1=0.8H
The number of hours that should be reduced
={(1-0.8)/1}*100
=20%
And:20%
Solution-2:
Let,
Original hourly wages=10
Original working hours =10
Total wage the employee income before change his wage & Working time
=(10*10)
Page 34 of 54
=100
New hourly wages
=10 +10 of 25%
=12.5
Reducing working hours=H
H*12.5=100
Or, H=8
So,
Working hour reduce
=10-8
=2
Required hours reduced
=(2/10)*100
=20%

70.A dishonest merchant make a 15% profit at the time of buying and a 10% loss at the time
of selling the goods. By doing so if the said merchant made a profit of Tk. 3500 on a
particular item, what was the real cost of the item sold
[Agrani Bank Senior Officer-2017]
Solution-1:
Let,
Cost Price=X Tk
15% profit on cost price
Then market price=X + X of 15%
=1.15 X Tk
Again 10% loss on market price
Then Selling price
=1.15x -1.15x of 10%
=1.035x Tk
Now profits=Selling - Cost Price
=(1.035x - x) Tk
=0.035x Tk
When,
Profit.035x Tk then Cost Price=X Tk
--------3500Tk--------------------------
=[(3500*x)/.035x]
=1,00,000 Tk
Answer:1,00,000 Tk
Solution-2
Let, cost price = 100 Tk.
At 15% profit the market price of the product will be=100+15=115 Tk.
At 10% loss, the sales price will be=115-(115*10%)=Tk. 103.5 Tk.
So profit = 103.5-100= 3.5 Tk.
Now,
when profit 3.5 Tk. then cost 100 Tk.
when profit 3500 Tk. then cost (100/3.5)*3500=1,00,000 Tk.
So, real cost is Tk. 1,00,000 (Ans.)

Here,
the savigns in the first month,
a = 1200 Tk
Increase in savings in each month, d = 100 Tk
n/2{2a+(n-1)*d}=106200
Or,(n/2){2×1200 + 100(n-1)} = 106200
Or,n(1200 + 50n - 50) = 106200
Or,n² + 23n = 2124
Or,n² + 59n - 36n - 2124 = 0

81. The area of a rectangle is 1200 square meter. If the length of the rectangle is reduced by
10 meters, it becomes a square. Calculate the length of the diagonal of the rectangle. [BKB
OFFICER-2017]
Solution:
Let,
Length of the rectangle is=x
Width of the rectangle is=y
If the length of the rectangle is reduced by 10 meters, it becomes a square.
y=x-10--------(1)
We know that,
xy = 1200
Or, x (x-10)=1200
x² - 10x - 1200 = 0
(x-40)(x+30) = 0
Either,
x = -30 [It's not accepted]
Or,
x-40=0
Or, x=40
So, the width of the rectangle is
=40-10= 30 meters,
and
the length of the rectangle is = 40 meters.
So, the length of the diagonal of the rectangle is = √(40²+30²) = 50 meters.
Answer: 50 meters
82. A Rhombus has an area of 120 square meters and the length of its one diagonal is 10
meters. Calculate the perimeter of the Rhombus.
[BKB OFFICER-2017]
Solution:
Let
The length of a side of the rhombus is = a meters,
and that of the other diagonal is
=d meters.
We know that,
area of a rhombus =1/2* (product of the lengths of the diagonals)
Or, 120 = (10×d)/2
Or, d = 24 meters.
Again, We know:
a² = (24/2)² + (10/2)²
a² = 169
a = 13
So,
the perimeter of the rhombus is = 4a = 4×13 = 52 meters.
Answer: 52 meters.

83. The area of an equilateral triangle is 3√3 square meter. Determine the area of a circe
inscribed within the triangle.
[BKB OFFICER-2017]
Solution:
Area of equilateral triangle = (√3/4)a²
So, (√3/4)a² = 3√3
=> a² = 12
=> a = 2√3
So, Semi-Perimeter of triangle = 3*2√3/2 = 3√3
Now, Radius* Semi-perimeter = Area
=> Radius = 3√3/3√3 = 1
Then, Area of circle = πr² = π*1² = π or 3.14 sqm (Ans.)

=(1/45)+(1/36)
=1/20 portion
Both Full work done
=(1*20*3)/5
=12 days
A 12 days work
=12/45=4/15 portion
B's12 days work
=12/36
=1/3
Ratio of work A & B
=(2/5 +4/15):1/3
=2:1
So,

Answer:1175 tk
Smart or Faster method:
Let,
Total work is 180 units
[LCM of 45 & 36]
A's working efficiency per day
=180/45
=4 units
B's working efficiency per day
=180/36
Page 44 of 54
=5 units
A's 18 day work done
=18*4=72 units
Remaining work
=(180-72)
=108 units
A & B 1 day done=(4+5)=9 unit
A & B 108 unit done
=108/9=12 days
A 12 days done=12*4=48 unit
B ---------:------------=12*5=60 unit
A & B working portion ratio
=(72+48):60
=120:60
=2:1
So, B's got =2350/2

88.Two trains A and B start from X and Y towards Y and Xrespectively. After passing each
other,they take 4 hours 48 minutes and 3 hours 20 minutes to reach Y and X respectively.If
train is moving at 45 km/hr, then speed train B is?
{Very Important}
Solution:
Let,
Speed of B train=Z
Give that,
4 hrs 48 m=24/5 hrs
3 hrs 20 m=10/3 hrs
After they meet the first train travelled=(45*24/5)=216 km
[Formula:Distance=Time*Speed ]
And
Second train travelled
=Z*10/3
=10Z/3 km
::
Now,Before they meet second train travelled/cover the distance 216 km with speed Z km/h
and First train cover 10Z/3 km with the speed 45 km/h
::
216/Z ={(10Z/3)/45}
Or, 216/Z=10Z/45*3
Or, 10*Z^2=45*3*216
Or, Z^2=2916
Or, Z=54
The speed of the second train is 54 km/h
Answer:54 km/h

90.A box contains only marbles. If 1/4th of the marble were removed from the box would be
filled to 1/3 of its capacity.If instead of 100 marbles were added,the box would be full.How
many marbles are there in the box?
[Jamuna Bank MTO/PO-2017]
Solution:
Let,
Total capacity of the box=1 portion
The marble in the box begging=x
First1/4 th of the marble removed from the box
=x*1/4 portion
=X/4 portion
Remaining marbles in the box
={x-(x/4)}
=3x/4 portion
1/3 of the capacity of box =3x/4 marbles
Full capacity of the box =9x/4 marbles
::
Now ,100 marbles were added to the "x" marbles then the box full its capacity
So,
x+100=9x/4
Or, (9x/4)-x =100
Or, 5x =400
Or, x=80
Hence,The marble in the box 80
Answer:80
91.A box only contains marbles. If you remove 1/4th of the marble from the box, then 1/3rd
of the box is empty. Now if you added 100 marbles, the box will be full. How many marbles
were there in the box?
Solution:
Total capacity of the box=1 portion
Let,
The marble in the box begging=x
1/4 th of the marble removed =x*1/4 portion
=X/4 portion
Remaining marble
={x-(x/4)}
=3x/4 portion
(1-1/3)=2/3 of the capacity of box =3x/4 marbles
Full capacity of the box =9x/8 marbles
::
Now ,100 marbles were added to the "x" marbles then the box full its capacity
So,
x+100=9x/8
Or, (9x/8)-x =100
Or, x/8 =100
Or, x=800, Hence,The marble in the box 800, Answer:800

91:While out on picnic,a group of boys came upon an apple tree.One of the boys climbed up
tree and picked enough apples for each boy to have three,with none left over,the along with
came three boys,making it impossible to divide the picked apples evenly. However, after
picking one more apple and adding it to the total, every boy had two apples with none left
over.How many apples were finally divided ?
[Meghan Bank -MTO-2017]
Solution:
Let,
The total boys were in the picnic=X
and
Picked up total apples from tree=Y
Form first condition,
Y/X =3 ---------(1)
Second condition,
(Y+1)/(X+3)=2 ----------(2)
From equation no (1)=»
Y=3X-------(3)
Putting the value Y=3X in equation (2)
we get X=5
From equation(3)=»
Y=15
Hence,The total apples picked up from the tree 15
But (15+1)=16 apples were distributed among the boys then every boys got Two apple

amount to each of his three sons.Half of the amount now left was spent on miscellaneous
items and the remaining amount of tk 12000 was deposited in the bank .How much did Mr.
Zakir Have initially ?
[Meghan Bank -MTO-2017]
Solution:
Let,
Mr Zakir's total initially amount was= tk x
He gave his wife
= 40% of x
=2x/5 tk
Mr Zakir's remaining amount
={x-(2x/5)}
=3x/5 tk
Each son got=20%of 3x/5
=3x/25
So three son got
={3*3x/25}
=9x/25
Remaining amount is
(3x/5-9x/25)
=6x/25
(6x/25)*1/2=12000

93.If 7% of the sale price of a product equal to 8% of cost price and 9% of the sale price
exceeds 10% of the cost price by Tk 1, find the amount of profit and cost of the product?
Solution:
Let,
Selling price be =X Tk
And
Cost price be =Y Tk
First condition,
7% of X =8% of Y
7x/100=8y/100
Or, x =8y/7-----------:--(1)
Second condition,
9%x -10%y=1
Or, (9X/100)--(10Y/100)=1
======================
======================
Or, Y =350
From equations no(1)
X =(8*350)/7
Or, X =400
So,
Selling price of the product is 400 Tk
Profit=(Selling Price--Cost price)
=(400-350)=50 Tk

he invest at 10% so that the total income will be equal to 9.25% of his entire investment?
Solution:
Let,
He investment additional amount =x
24000*7.50%+x * 10%= (24000+ x) 9.25%
Or,[(24000*7.50)/100] +10x/100=
[(24000+x)*9.25]/100
Or, 180000 +10x =222000+9.25x
Or, 10x -9.25x =222000-180000
Or, 0.75 x =42000

95.Find the value of x^4+1/x^4 ; If x=√5-√4
[Dhaka Bank-MTO-2017]
Solution:
Page 48 of 54
Given that,
x=√5-√4----------(1)
1/x= 1/(√5-√4) [Reverse both side]
Or, 1/x= (√5+√4)/[(√5-√4)(√5-√4)]
Or, 1/x=√5+√4---------(2)
From (1)&(2)
x+(1/x)=√5-√4+√5+√4=2√5
Now,
x^4+1/x^4
=(x^2)^2+(1/x^2)^2
= (x^2+1/x^2)^2-2*x^2*(1/x^2)
= (x^2+1/x^2)^2-2
= [(x+1/x)^2-2*x*1/x]^2-2
=[(2√5)^2-2]^2-2

Let,
Total employee be=x
Live 10 miles over employee be
=x of 30%
=3x/10
Live 10 miles or less employee
=(x-3x/10)
=7x/10
Employees Live ove 10 miles and using company transport
=3x/10 of 60%
=9x/50
Total number of employees using company transport
=x of 40%
=2x/5
Page 49 of 54
Employees using transport and live 10 miles or less from work
=(2x/5 - 9x/50)
=11x/50
Among x employees using transport and live 10 miles or less from work=11x/50 employees
So,

[Same As SEBL-2015]
Solution-1:
The market price of 1 unit goods be Tk x
So, 100 units of goods =100 x Tk
But ,at the time of buying,the merchant paid 100x Tk and received
=(100 + 100 of 10%)
=110
So, the real cost of 110 units to the merchant
=100 x Tk
At the time of selling,the merchant charged
=110x/100
So,
Sold of 110 units
=110*(110x/100)
=121x Tk
Net profit,
=121x-100x
=21x Tk
21x=630
Or, x =30 Tk
So,
The real cost price of the product
=100*30
=3000 Tk
Answer:3000 Tk
Page 50 of 54
Solution-2:
Let,
Cost Price=X Tk
10% profit on cost price Then market price
=X + X of 10%
=1.1 X Tk
Again 10% profits on market price
Then Selling price
=1.1x + 1.1x of 10%
=1.21x Tk
Now profits=Selling - Cost Price
=(1.21x - x) Tk
=0.21x Tk
When,
Profit .21x Tk then Cost Price=X Tk
--------630 Tk--------------------------
=[(630*x)/.21x]
=3000 Tk
Solution-3:
Let,
Cost Price of the article=100 Tk
10% profit on cost price then
Market price=(100 + 100 of 10%)
=110 Tk
Again,
10% profits on market price then selling price=(110+110 of 10%) Tk
=121 Tk
Now,
Profit=(121-100)=21 Tk
When
Profit 21 Tk then Cost Price=100 tk
--------630 Tk -----------------------------------
=[(100*630)/21]
=3000 Tk
Answer:3000 Tk
Solution-4:====
Short Cut/MCQ Way
Let , Cost Price=100 Tk
10% profits on both way
Profit
=10+10+[(10*100)/100]
=21 Tk
Profit 21 then CP =100 TK
-------630 TK --------=[100*630/21]

Precaution:=========
Most of the Guide Book this question answer is wrong
Such as 12/10 etc
Correct Answer:11 Days
Solution:1
Let,
LCM of 2 & 3=6
So,
6 days (A+B+C)'s work
=(6/30+3/15+2/10) portion
=3/5 portion
Remaining work
=(1-3/5) portion
=2/3 portion
After 2 days(A+B)'s work
=(2/30+1/15)portion
=2/15 portion
[Every second days B help A]
Remaining work
=(2/5-2/15) portion
=4/15 portion
Total time=(6+2)=8 days
9th day(A+C) work
=(1/30+1/10) portion
=2/15 portion
Remaining work
=(4/15-2/15)portion
=2/15 portion
Another 2 days(A+B)'s work
=(2/30+1/15) portion
=2/15 portion
Remaining work
=(2/15-2/15)
=0

Let,
The duration of the flight be=x hrs
Page 53 of 54
Original distance be=600 km
Original speed-Reduced speed=200
600/x-600/(x+1/2)=200
Or,600/x-1200/(2x+1)=200
Or,2/x-{6/(2x+1)}=1
Or,(6x+3-6x)/{x(2x+1)}=1
Or,2x^2+3x-2x-3=0
Or,x(2x+3)-1(2x-3)=0
Or,(2x+3)(x-1)=0
Now,
X-1=0
Or,X=1
And
2x+3=0
Or,X=-(3/2)
[neglecting the negative value]
Answer:1 hour
Solution:2
Let,
Original time be= t hrs
Original speed be=S km/hrs
Here,Distance (D)=600 km
According to the first condition,
D=st
Or,s=D/t
Or,s=600/t=======(1)
According to the 2nd condition,
600=(s-200)*(1/2+t)
{(Putting value s=600/t) 2nd condition}
Or,(2t+3)(t-1)=0
Now,
2t+3=0
Or,t=-(3/2)
[neglecting Negative value]
And
t-1=0
Or,t=1
So Duration of the flight 1 hour
Answer:1 hour
