Q-3 : A boat sailing against a stream of river tanks 6 hours to travel 24

km , while sailing with the stream it takes 4 hours to travel the same
distance. What is the speed of the stream?
A. 2.5 km/hr B. 1.5 km/hr C. 1 km/hr D. 0.5 km/hr
Solution :
The ratio of time upstream and downstream ⇒ 6 : 4 = 3 : 2
The ratio of speed upstream and downstream ⇒ 2 : 3 [Distance is constant]
Therefore , the speed of the stream ⇒ (3 – 2) = 1 km/hr. [Ans.] – C
Q-4 : A man purchases the milk at Tk. x per litre and sells it Tk. 2x per
litre still he mixes 2 litres water with every 6 litres of pure milk. What
is the profit percentage?
A. 116% B. 166.66% C. 60% D. 100%
Solution :
The cost of 6 litres of pure milk ⇒ x×6 = Tk. 6x
After adding 2 litres water , Quantity of mix. ⇒ (6+2) = 8 litres
Hence , the selling price of mixture ⇒ (8×2x) = Tk. 16x
16x−6x
Therefore , Profit% ⇒ ×100 = 166.67% [Ans.] – B
6x

Q-5 : A man could buy a certain number of notebooks for Tk. 300. If

300 300
ATQ , − N+5 = 10
N

⇒ N(N + 5) = 30×(N + 5) - 30×N

⇒ N² + 5N = 30N + 150 – 30N
⇒ N² + 5N – 150 = 0
⇒ N² + 15N – 10N – 150 = 0
⇒ N(N + 15) – 10 (N + 15) = 0
⇒ (N + 15)(N – 10) = 0
Here , N = 10 and N ≠ - 15
Therefore , Cost price of each notebook Tk. 10 [Ans.] – C
Q-6 : 4 men and 6 women can complete a work in ৪ days, while 3 men
and 7 women can complete it in 10 days. In how many days will 10
women complete it?
A. 40 days B. 36 days C. 32 days D. 34 days
Solution :
Here , (4M + 6W)×8 = (3M + 7W)×10
⇒ 16M + 24W = 15M + 35W
⇒ M = 11W ⇒ M : W = 11 : 1 [Efficiency]
Now , 10×1×T = (4×11 + 6×1)×8 ⇒ T = 40 days [Ans.] – C

Here , 63×18 ×30 – 170 = 355 m [Ans.] – A
Q-9 : A water tank has two taps (Tap-1 and Tap 2). Tap-1 can fill a
tank in 8 hours and Tap-2 can empty the tank in 16 hours. How long
will they fill the tank if both taps are opened simultaneously but Tap-2
is closed after 8 hours?
A. 10 B. 12 C. 14 D. 16
Solution :
Efficiency , Tap-1 : Tap-2 ⇒ 2 : 1 [Units per hour]
Now , (2 – 1)×8 + 2×T = 2×8
⇒ 2T = 8 ⇒ T = 4 hours.
Therefore , total time ⇒ (8 + 4) = 12 hours [Ans.] – B

MCQ Md. Helal Uddin - 01717462311

A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6
Solution :
Volume of cylinder ⇒ πr²h = πr²×r = πr³ [Here , hieght = radius]
4 4 r 3 𝜋r3 1 r
Volume of sphere ⇒ πr³ = π( ) = = × πr 3 [Here , r = ]
3 3 2 6 6 2
πr3 1
Therefore , the number of balls ⇒ πr3 × 6 = 6 [Ans.] – C
Q-11 : Rahim borrowed Tk. 800 at 6% per annum and Karim
borrowed Tk. 600 at 10% per annum. After how much time, will they
both have equal debts?
A. (50/3) year B. (83/3) year C. (44/3) year D. (20/3) year
Solution:
6 10
Here , 800×100 ×T – 600×100 ×T = 600 – 800
50
⇒ 48T – 60T = - 200 ⇒ 12T = 200 ⇒ T = 3
50
Therefore , required time is years [Ans.] – A

average of 22 are added to these numbers, what will be the average of
the combined 9 numbers?
A. 24 B. 25 C. 26 D. 28
Solution :
Here , Sum of 9 numbers ⇒ (25×6 + 3×22) = 216
216
Therefore , the average of the combined number ⇒ = 24 [Ans.] - A

Q-13 : The difference of two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger

number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and the 15 as remainder.
What is the smaller number?
A. 270 B. 1270 C. 350 D. 720
Solution :
Let , the smaller number be ‘S’
Therefore , the larger number is ⇒ (S + 1365)
Now , 6×S + 15 = (S + 1365) ⇒ 5S = 1340 ⇒ S = 270
Hence , the smaller number is 270 [Ans.] – A
Q-14 : The product of two positive numbers is p. If each of the number
is increased by 2, the new product is how much greater than twice the
sum of the two original number?
A. p times B. 2p times C. (p + 4) times D. (2p + 3) times
Solution :
Here , (N₁ + 2)×(N₂ + 2) = N₁×N₂ + 2N₁ + 2N₂ + 4 = P + 4 + 2(N₁ + N₂)
Therefore , Greater than P+4 [Ans.] – C

MCQ Md. Helal Uddin - 01717462311

A. 60 days B. 70 days C. 80 days D. 90 days

Solution :
Here , 40×(A+B) = 20×A + 60×B
⇒ 40A + 40B = 20A + 60B
⇒ 20A = 20B ⇒A:B=1:1 [Efficiency]
40×(1+1)
Therefore , B finishes the work in ⇒ = 80 days [Ans.] – C

becomes 2 : 3 :7. How many white marbles are there in the jar?
A. 5 B. 6 C. 9 D. 10
Solution :
White : Red : Green ⇒ 2 : 3 : 5 [Initially]
White : Red : Green ⇒ 2 : 3 : 7 [After adding six more green]
Now , (7-5) i.e. 2 unit ≡ 6 ; Then , 2 (White) units ≡ 6 [Ans.] – B

part in 6 hours. The number of hours taken by C alone to fill the tank
is:
A. 8 hours B. 10 hours C. 14 hours D. 18 hours
Solution :
4A + 4B + 4C = 6A + 6B
⇒ 4C = 2(A + B)
⇒ C : (A+B) = 1 : 2 [Efficiency]
6×3
Therefore , C takes time to fill tank ⇒ = 18 days [Ans.] – D

MCQ Md. Helal Uddin - 01717462311

A. 9,000 B. 12,000 C. 10,800 D. 11,700

Solution :
X : Y ⇒ 125 : 100 = 5 : 4 = (5 : 4)×4 = 20 : 16
X : Z ⇒ 80 : 100 = 4 : 5 = (4 : 5)×5 = 20 : 25
Hence , X : Y : Z ⇒ 20 : 16 : 25
20
Therefore , X makes a week ⇒ 36600×61 = Tk. 12000 [Ans.] – B
Q-22 : The volume of a rectangular solid is to be increased by 50%
without altering its base. To what extent the height of the solid must be
changed.
A. 50% B. 40% C. 30% D. 20%
Solution :
Initially , Volume ⇒ L×B×H₁
3 1
Increased volume ⇒ L×B×H₂×2 [Here , 50% = 2 ]
3−2 1
Therefore , H₁ : H₂ ⇒ 2 : 3 , Hence , %inc. Height ⇒ = 2 i. e. 50%

is 16202. What is the 1/26 of that number?
A. 5.65 B. 2.70 C. 3.50 D. 6.66
Solution :
Here , 89² + N² = 16202 ⇒ N² = 8281 ⇒ N = 91
1 1
Therefore ,26 of that number ⇒ 91×26 = 3.50 [Ans.] – C
