Solution:
Here, the series are: 1+3+5+7+…….. +125…… (1)
169+171+173+175+……….+209…… (2)
Now,
L.H.S. = 1+3+5+7+…….+125
We know, n-th term = a+(n-1)d
Here, a = 1, d = 3-1 = 5-3 = 2 and n-th term = 125
Now,
1+(n-1)×2= 125 Or, 2(n-1) = 125-1 = 124

Alternative Method:
wife got Tk. (43520-x)
Let, husband worked for x days and wife
Husband got Tk. 560 in 1 day
worked for (72-x) days
 Husband got Tk. 1 in day According to the question,
 Husband got Tk. x in days 560x+ 640(72-x) = 43520
Or, 560x + 46080-640x = 43520
Wife got Tk. (43520-x) in days Or, -80x = 43520-46080
According to the question, Or, -80x = -2560  x = 32
+ = 72 So, husband worked = 32 days and wife
( ) worked = 72-32 = 40 days
Or, = 72 Ans: 32 days and 40 days.
Or, 8x + 304,640 -7x = 322,560

Alternative Method:
Given that, distance = 108 km.
Let, the initial speed of the cyclist be s km/h and time be taken ‘t’ hours.
We know,
Speed × Time = Distance
s × t = 108  st = 108 ……(i)
2nd case,
Speed of the cyclist = (s + 3) and time taken = (t – 3)
According to the question,
(s + 3)(t - 3) = 108 [Speed × Time = Distance]
Or, st - 3s + 3t -9 = 108 Or, 108 + 3t -3s -9 = 108 [ st = 108]
Or, 3(t - s) = 108 + 9 - 108 Or, 3(t-s) = 9
Or, t - s = 3 [Dividing both sides by 3] t=s+3
Putting the value of ‘t’ equation (i)
s(s + 3) = 108 Or, s² + 3s - 108 = 0
Or, s² + 12s - 9s - 108 = 0 Or, s(s + 12) - 9(s + 12) = 0 Or, (s + 12)(s - 9) = 0
 s = 9 [Neglecting the negative value]

Or, st - 3s + 3t -9 = 108 Or, 108 + 3t -3s -9 = 108 [ st = 108]
Or, 3(t - s) = 108 + 9 - 108 Or, 3(t-s) = 9
Or, t - s = 3 [Dividing both sides by 3] t=s+3

2. A two digit number is six times the sum of two digits. If the digits are reversed, the
number so obtained is 9 less than the original number. What is the original number?
[Rupali Officer 19]
Solution:
Let, the unit digit be y and tenth digit be x.
 The number = (10x + y).
1st condition,
10x+y = 6(x+y)
Or, 10x +y = 6x + 6y Or, 10x -6x = 6y –y  4x = 5y ..... (i)
2nd Condition,
(10x+y)- (10y+x) = 9
Or, 10x +y -10y –x = 9 Or, 9x- 9y = 9
Or, x –y = 1 [Dividing by 9]
Or, 4x-4y = 4 Or, 5y-4y = 4 [From equation (i) we get, 4x = 5y]  y=4
Putting the value of x in equation (i)
4x = 5×4  x=5
 The number = (10×5 + 4) = 54 (Ans.)

কযদর, প্রকল্পবট য঱ল কযদত অয কতবদন রাগদফ?
Solution:
In 40 days, 50 workers can complete 50×40 = 2000 units
In 40 days, 30 daily workers can complete 30×40 = 1200 units
In 20 days, 20 alternate workers can complete 20×20 = 400 units
Let, after 40 days they worked for x days.
So, alternate workers shall work for days.
According to the question,
1200 + 400 + 30×x + 20× = 2000
Or, 1600 + 30x + 10x = 2000 Or, 40x = 2000 – 1600 Or, 40x = 400  x = 10
 10 more days required to complete the project. (Ans.)
5. A maximum sized rectangular playground is made within a circular space radius
2√41 meter. Calculated the area of playground if its length and width are distributed
in the proportion of 4:5. [Rupali Officer 19]
Solution: A
Diameter, AC = 2×(2√41) = 4√41 m
Let, the length be 4x meter and width be 5x meter.
According to Pythagoras theorem,
(4x)²+(5x)² = (4√41)²
Or, 16x2 + 25x2 = 16×41
Or, 41x² = 16×41
Or, x² = 16 [Dividing by 41] ∴x=4 B C
∴ Area = 4x×5x = 20x = 20×(4) = 320m² (Ans.)

6. Factorize: x³-21x+20 [Rupali Officer 19]
Solution:
x3-21x+20
= x3-x-20x+20 = x(x2 -1)-20(x-1) = x(x+1)(x-1)-20(x-1) = (x2+x)(x-1)-20(x-1)
= (x-1)(x2+x-20) = (x-1) (x²+5x-4x-20) = (x-1) {x(x+5)-4(x+5)}= (x-1) (x+5) (x-4) (Ans.)

7. Mr. Hossain invested M taka in a mutual fund which pays 10% interest and n taka
in a private company from which pays 9% interest. He invested Tk. 18000 and
required that he receives Tk. 1700 as interest. How much did he invested in each
company? [Rupali Officer 19]
Solution:
Given that, he invested in M company = Tk. x
So, he invested in N company Tk. y = Tk. (18000 – x)
1st condition, x+ y = 18000
2nd condition,
( )
10% of x + 9% of (18000-x) = 1700 Or, + = 1700
Or, 10x + 162000 -9x = 170000 [Multiplying both sides by 100]
 x = 170000-162000 = Tk. 8000
 y = Tk. (18000-8000) = Tk. 10,000
Ans: Tk. 9000 and Tk. 10,000
