36. Kalam has three daughters: Shaila, Meena and Tina. Three years ago when Kalam was
twice as old as Tina, he was 30 years older than Meena. Now he is 47 years older than
Shaila. In 4 years, Shaila will be half as old as Tina. What is the sum of the current ages
of Kalam and his three daughters?
(a) 138 (b) 144 (c) 154 (d) 180 (e) None Ans:a
Solution:
Let, 3 years ago, Tina was, x years, So, Kalam was 2x, and Meena was 2x-30 years

Now, Tina is x+3, Kalam is 2x+3, Meena 2x-30+3 = 2x-27 and Shaila is 2x+3-47 = 2x-44

After 4 years Tina will be x+3+4 = x+7 & Shaila will be = 2x-44+4 = 2x-40
ATQ,
2(2x-40) = x+7
4x-80 = x+7
3x = 87
∴x = 29
So, total present age of all of them is x+3 + 2x+3 + 2x-27 + 2x-44 = 7x-65 = 7×29-65=
203-65 = 138

38. Due to reduction in the bus price by 15%, the number of passengers on a certain route
increased by 40% . What will be the percentage increase in revenue?
(a) 17 (b) 18 (c) 19
(d) 20 (e) None Ans: c
Solution:
Let, at first price was = 100 and passengers were = 100
So, Total revenue = 100×100 = 10000
New price = 85 and new passengers = 140
So, new total revenue = 85×140 = 11900
Revenue increase = 11900-10000 = 1900
1900× 100
Increase % = = 19%

40. Jerin has 40% more books than Rashed. However, if she gives 45 her books to Rashed,
then Rashed will have 10% more books than Jerin. How many books did Jerin begin

(a) 140 (b) 175 (c) 245
(d) 385 (e) None Ans: c
Solution:
Let, Rashed has = x stamps
So Jerin has = 140% of x = 1.4x
ATQ,
110% of (1.4x-45) = x+45(‡Rwi‡bi †_‡K 45 wU we‡qvM K‡i iv‡k`‡K †`qvq Zv 10% †ewk A_©vr 110% n‡q‡Q)

10
or, 15.4x- 495 = 10x+450
or, 5.4x = 945
945
∴x = = 175
5.4
∴Rashed has = 175 books
So, Jerin has 175+ 40% of 175 = 175+70 = 245

41. Alilm was hired for a job for 7 days. Each day, he was paid Tk. 10 more than what he
was paid for previous day of work. The total amount he was paid in the first 4 days of
work equated the tolal amount he was paid in the last 3 days, what his starting pay?
(a) Tk.90 (b) Tk.138 (c) Tk.153
(d) Tk.160 (e) None Ans: a
Solution:
Let first day payment = x tk
ATQ,
x + (x+10) + (x+20) + (x+30) = (x+40) + (x+50) + (x+60) [cÖ_g 4w`‡bi gRyix = c‡ii 3w`‡bi gRyix]
or, 4x +60 = 3x+ 150
So, x = 90

42. The captain of Bangladesh cricket team is 26 years old and the wicket keeper is 4 years
older. If the ages of these two are excluded, the average age of the remaining players is
one year less than the average age of the whole team. what is the average age of the team
?
(a) 21 (b) 22 (c) 23
(d) 24 (e) None Ans: e
 Solution:
Captain age = 26
So, Wicket keeper age = 26+4 = 30
Let,
average age of 11 players = x
So, total age of 11 players = 11x
Without captain and wicketkeeper average age = (x-1)
Without captain and wicketkeeper total age = 9(x-1)
ATQ,
11x – 9(x-1) = 30+26 [11 R‡bi eqm - 9 R‡bi eqm = Aci 2 R‡bi eqm]
11x-9x+9 = 56
2x = 47
∴x = 23.5 Which is not given in the option.

Solution:
Let, the total mixture = x

51. There are 48 books on 3 shelves. If 3 books from third shelf are shifted to the second,
there will be same number of books on first and third shelves and double the number of
books on second shelf. How many books were there on three shelves originally?
(a) 10,15,13 (b) 12,21,15 (c) 11,23,14
(d) 13,19,16 (c) None Ans:b
Solution:
Let, after shifting total books at 3rd shelves = x and first shelves = also x
and 2nd shelves = 2x
ATQ,
x+2x+x = 48
4x = 48
∴x = 12
So, first shelves = 12 and 3rd shelves = 12 and 2nd Shelves = 2×12 =24
originally first shelves has = 12 books, 2nd shelves has 24-3 = 21 and 3rd shelves = 12+3 = 15

52. Arafat has Tk 420. He purchased fifty mangoes and thirty oranges with the whole

(a) 4.00 (b) 4.50 (c) 5.00
(d) 6.00 (c) None Ans: d
Solution:
6 6 × 30
9 oranges = 6 mangos ∴1 oranges = ‘’ ∴30 oranges = = 20 mangoes.
9 9

Now total mangos = 50+20 = 70 (Av‡Mi Avg 50Uv Avi 30wU Kgjv = 20 Avg )
So, price of 1 mango in Tk, = 420÷70 = 6 tk

lamp he made 25% profit, and on the other lamp he had 25% loss. What was his net
loss or profit?
(a) Loss BDT 1000 (b) Profit BDT 100 (c) Loss BDT 100
(d) No profit-Loss (e) None Ans:e
Solution:
in first lamp
125% = 2000
2000
So, 1 % =
125
2000 × 100
So, 100 % = = 1600
125
again ,
for first lamp
75% == 2000
2000
So, 1 % =
75
2000 × 100
So, 100 % = =2666.67
75

Total cost = 1600+2666.67 = 4266.67 Tk.

Totla sell = 2000+2000 = 4000
Total loss 4266.67 – 4000 Tk = 266.67 Tk

54. If the average of 5 consecutive integers is 19 then what is the difference between the ;
least and the greatest of the integers?
(a) 4 (b) 5 (c) 8
(d) 10 (c) None Ans: a
Solution:
Let, first number = x
So, ATQ,
x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3 + x +4 = 19×5
5x = 85
∴x = 17
So, first number = 17 and last number is 17+4 = 21 and the difference is 21-17 = 4

55. 150 individuals attend a marathon held in Sylhet. Of these only y participated is in the
marathon. If x of the 150 individuals from Sylhet and z of the individuals participated in
the marathon but were not from Sylhet. Which of the following represents the number
of individuals who did not participate in the marathon and were not from Sylhet?
(a) 150-x+2y (b) 150-x-y+z (c) 150-x+z
(d) 150-x-z (c) None Ans:d
Solution:
Total attendance = 150 (mevB wg‡j 150 Rb)
Participate = y (Giv AskMÖnY K‡iwQj)
Non participate = 150 –y (‡gvU- AskMÖnYKvix = AskMÖnY Kvix bq)
Total participate, y = x+z (AskMÖnYKvix = wm‡jwU + bb wm‡jwU)
Non participate and non Sylhetia =150-x-z
