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
According to the question,
(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
According to the question,
 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
According to the question,
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
According to the question,
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)
According to the question,
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.
According to the question,
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.
According to the question:
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
According to the question:
(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.
According to the question:
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
According to the question,
(x-18)/12 = x/18
=> x= 54
So the value of x = 54

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

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%
According to the question,
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

29.A can do a piece of work in 8 days which B can finish in 12 days. If they work at it on
alternate days with A beginning, In how many days, the work will be finished?

Solution:
(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
According to the question,
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
According to the question,
(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?

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.)

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
Ans: 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

57.If sales tax is payable at t% of gross sales value and you intend to make a profit of r%,
what would be the gross sales price inclusive of tax of an article which you bought for tk K?
(Basic Bank-2008).

Solution:
Given that,
Cost price of article=k Tk
Sales price r% profit(Excluding tax)
=(k + k of r%)
=k{(100+r)/100}
Now,
Adding t% tax on sales ,the tax is
=k{(100+r)/100}*t%
So,
Gross sales price inclusive of tax is
=k{(100+r)/100} +k{(100+r)/100}*t%

=k{(100+r)/100} *{(100+t)/100}

and travelling in opposite direction at 42 kmph, in 12 seconds. It also passes a railway
platform in 45 seconds. The length of the platform is ----

Solution:
Let,
The biggest train length=2x
The smallest train length=x
Since two train are opposite direction
So,Relative speed=(48+42)
=90kmph
=90*(5/18)
=25 m/s
We know,
12*25=(x+2x)
X=100
Biggest train length
=2*100=200 m
Again
Let,
Platform length=M
48kmph
=48*(5/18)m/s
=40/3 m/s

We know,
Time*speed=Distance
45*(40/3)=200+M
M=400 m

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
According to the question,
(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%
Ans:25%

67. Three pipes A, B, C are attached to a tank. A and B can fill it in 20 and 30 minutes
respectively and C can empty it in 15 minutes. If A, B, C are kept open successively for 1 min.
each, how soon will the tank be filled?{Very Important Math}.

Solution:
LCM of 20,30,60 is =60
Let,
Total work=60 unit
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
Total work=58+2=60 unit
So the tank wil be filled in 167 minutes
Answer:167 minutes

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
According to the question,
x = 3600 - 20% of x
x = 3600 - x/5
x = (5 * 3600)/6
Or, x = 3000 tk

Answer:3000 Tk
