Solution :
Here , 6×5% ≡ Tk. 6000 ; Then , 100% ≡ Tk. 20000
5×5
Compound interest in 2 years ⇒ 5 + 5 + 100 = 10.25%
Therefore , Interest ⇒ 20000×10.25% = Tk. 2050 [Ans.] – A
Q-6 : Alma sold an item for Tk. 6384 and incurred a loss of 30%. At
what price should he have sold the item to have gained a profit of 30%?
(A) Tk. 14656 (B) Tk. 11856 (C) Tk. 13544 (D) None
Solution :
Applying multiplying factor concept :
10 13
6384× 7 × 10 = Tk. 11856 [Ans.] – B
Q-7 : Kiran purchased a scooter for Tk. 52000. He sold it at loss of
10%. With that money he purchased another scooter and sold it at
profit of 20%. What is his overall loss/profit?
(A) Tk. 2060 profit (B) Tk. 2560 loss
(C) Tk. 13400 loss (D) Tk. 4160 profit
Solution :
9 6
Overall profit% ⇒ 100×10 × 5 - 100 = 8%
8
Therefore , profit ⇒ 5200×100 = Tk. 4160 [Ans.] – D
Q-8 : A square is inscribed in a circle of diameter 2a and another square
is circumscribing circle. The difference between the areas of outer and
inner squares is:
Solution :
Difference between areas of outer and inner ⇒ (2a)² - (√2a)² = 2a²
Q-9 : The average of nine numbers is 50. The average of the first five
numbers is 54 and that of the last three numbers is 52. Then the 6th
number is:
(A) 30 (B) 34 (C) 44 (D) 24
Solution :
The 6ᵗʰ number ⇒ [(50×9) – {(54×5)+(52×3)}] = 24 [Ans.] – D
Q-10 : A batsman has a certain average of runs for 12 innings. In the
13th inning, he scores 96 runs thereby increasing his average by 5 runs.
What is his average after the 13 innings?
(A) 36 (B) 48 (C) 24 (D) 31
Solution :
The average after the 13 innings ⇒ [96 – (13×5) + 5 ] = 36 [Ans.] – A
Q-11 : A man takes 3 hours 45 minutes to row a boat 22.5 km
downstream of a river and 2 hours 30 minutes to cover a distance of 10
km upstream. Find the speed of the river current in km/hr.
(A) 1 km/hr (B) 2 km/hr (C) 3 km/hr (D) 4 km/hr
Solution :
15
Here , 3 hr. 45 min ⇒ i.e. 3.75 hours ; 2 hr 30 min = 2.5 hours
4
22.5 10
Downstream speed ⇒ 3.75 = 6 km/hr. ; Upstream speed ⇒ 2.5 = 4 km/hr.
Therefore , the speed of the current ⇒ = 1 km/hr. [Ans.] – A
Q-12 : A man can row 6 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the current
is 2 km/hr, it takes 3 hrs more in upstream than in the downstream for
the same distance. The distance is:
(A) 30 km (B) 24 km (C) 20 km (D) 32 km
Solution :
(6+2)×(6−2)
Distance ⇒ (6+2)−(6−2) × 3 = 24 km [Ans.]
Alternate approach :
Speed ratio , Man : Current ⇒ 6 : 2 = 3 : 1
Time ratio , Man : Current ⇒ 1 : 3
Now , (3+1) – (3-1) i.e. 2 units ≡ 3 hours ;Then , (3+1) i.e. 4 units ≡ 6 hr
Therefore , the distance ⇒ (6-2)×6 = 24 km [Ans.] – B
Q-13 : A train 150 m long passes a pole in 15 seconds and crosses
another train of the same length travelling in opposite direction in 8
seconds. The speed of the second train in (km/h) is:
(A) 60 km/hr (B) 66 km/hr (C) 72 km/hr (D) 99 km/hr
Solution :
300 150 18
Speed of second train ⇒ [ − ] × = 99 km/hr. [Ans.] – D
8 15 5
Q-14 :The ratio of the speeds of a train and a man is 6:1. The length of
the train is 650 m and crosses a pole in 1 minute 5 seconds. In how much
time will the man cross 240m long platform?
(A) 1 min 24 sec (B) 2min30 se (C) 2min (D) 2 min 24 sec
Solution :
Efficiency , A : B ⇒ 4 : 5
Now , (5+4)×T = 5×4×(8+1) ⇒ T = 20 days [Ans.] – C
Q-18 : A computer can perform 30 identical tasks in 6 hour. At that
rate, what is the minimum number of computers that should be
assigned to complete 80 of the tasks within 3 hours?
(A) 12 (B) 7 (C) 6 (D) 16
Solution :
30
Efficiency of a computer ⇒ =5
6
80
Therefore , number of computer ⇒ 5×3 ≈ 6 (Minimum) [Ans.] – C
Q-19 : A and B together can complete a piece of work in 12 days, B and
C can do it in 20 days and C and A can do it in 15 days. A, B and C
together can complete it in:
(A) 12 days (B) 6 days (C) 8 days (D) 10 days
Solution :
Let , the total work be 60 units [LCM of 12 , 20 , 15]
So , Efficiency , (A+B) : (B+C) : (C+A) ⇒ 5 : 3 : 4
12
Hence , efficiency of (A+B+C) ⇒ = 6 units per day
2
60
Therefore , required time ⇒ = 10 days [Ans.] – D

Q-20 : There are 15 boys and 10 girls in a class. If three students are
selected at random, what is the probability that 1 girl and 2 boys are
selected?
(A) 1/40 (B) ½ (C) 21/46 (D) 7/41
Solution :
25×24×23
Possible outcome ⇒ ²⁵C₃ = = 2300
3×2×1
15×14
Favourable outcome ⇒ ¹⁰C₁ × ¹⁵C₂ = 10× = 1050
2×1
1050 21
Therefore , required probabilty ⇒ 2300 = 46 [Ans.] – C
