(33-56): Read the following questions carefully and choose the right answer -
33.If an article was sold at 18% profit on cost price then the selling price of the article was Tk. 9381. What would have been the selling price of the article if it was sold at 25% profit?
(A) Tk. 9984.5
(B) Tk. 9927.5
(C) Tk. 9937.5
(D) None of these
Answer: (C) Tk. 9937.5
Let the CP of the article = x
Then 18% profit on x = (100 + 18)% of x = 9381
X = (9381 × 100)/118 = 79.5 × 100 = 7950 = cp
When article was sold at 25% profit then CP = 125% of 7950 = 9937.5
34.In each of these questions, two equations (I) and (II) are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer.

(II). y2– 25y+114= 0
(A) x <y
(B) x>y
(C) x≤y
(D) x≥y
Answer: (A) x <y
(I). 39x2 – 31x – 28 = 0
Or, 39x2 – 52x + 21x – 28 = 0
Or, (3x – 4) + 7(3x – 4) = 0
Or, (13x + 7)(3x – 4) = 0
Or, x = –7/13, 4/3
(II). y2 – 25y + 114 = 0
Or, y2 – 19y – 6y + 114 = 0
Or, y(y – 19) – 6(y + 19) = 0
Or, (y – 19)(y – 6) = 0
Or, y = 19, 6
35.A box contains 21 balls numbered 1 to 21. A ball is drawn and then another ball is drawn without replacement. What is the probability that both balls are even numbered?
(A) 2/7
(B) 3/14
(C) 8/21
(D) 5/21
Answer: (B) 3/14
The probability that first ball shows the even number, =10/21
Since, the ball is not replaced there are now 9 even numbered toys and total 20 balls left.
Hence, probability that second ball shows the even number, =9/20
Required probability,
=(10/21)×(9/20)
=3/14

38. A seller marks his goods 30% above their cost price but allows 15% discount for cash payment. His percentage of profit when sold in cash is
(A) 15%
(B) 99%
(C) 10.5%
(D) ৪.5%
Answer: (C) 10.5%
Let CP of the goods = x.
Marked price of the goods = x×(100+30)/100 = 13x/10
Now, SP of ‘the goods = (13x/10)×{(100−15)/100)} = 21x/200
Profit = (221x/200 −x)=Rs.21x/200
Hence, profit per cent = (221x/200)/x × 100% =2100/200 = 10.5%

(A) 3
(B) 2
(C) 0
(D) -2
Answer: (B) 2
2(2x-1)= 8(3-x)
Or, 2(2x-1) = 2(9-3x)
Or, 2x-1= 9-3x
Or, 5x = 10
Or, x = 2
41. If x=2 then the value of x3 +27x2 +243x +631 is
(A) 1211
(B) 1231
(C) 1321

Answer: (D) 1233
x3 +27x2 +243x +631
= x3 + 3.x2.9 +3.x.92 +93 -98
=(x+9)3 – 98
= (2+9)3 – 98
= 1331-98
= 1233

(C) 15% .
(D) 7.5%
Answer: (C) 15% .
SI= (105000-42000) = 63,000
ATQ,
42,000×10×r/100 = 63,000
Or, r = 63,000×100/(42,000×10)
Or, r = 15%

46. The average age of the 20 aspirants of a class is 19.2 years. After Some time two more aspirants join them and then average is increased by 0.3 years. Find the difference between the age of new aspirants.
(A) 15
(B) 25
(C) 18
(D) None of these
Answer: (D) None of these
Total age of 20 aspirants = 20 × 19.2 = 384
Total age of 22 aspirants = 22 × 19.5 = 429
Total Age of new aspirants = 429 – 384 = 45 years
But we can not find the difference of the new aspirants’. So answer is can’t be determined.

(A) Tk.5000
(B) Tk 6000
(C) Tk.8000
(D) Tk.7000
Answer: (A) Tk.5000
P:Q= 6000:3000= 2:1
Let,
Q invest = x
P invest = 20,000
ATQ,
(20,000)/2x= 2/1
Or, 4x= 20,000
Or, x = 5000

(B) 33 km hr
(C) 66 km/hr
(D) 44 km/hr
Answer: (C) 66 km/hr
Let, Car speed = x
ATQ,
L= (x-6)×5×9/18
And,
L= (x-12)×5×10/18
Again,
(x-6)×5/2= (x-12)×25/9
Or, 45×(x-6)= 50×(x-12)
Or, 9×(x-6)= 10×(x-12)
Or, 9x-54= 10x-120
Or, x= 66 km/hr
50. The ratio of the present age of father to that of son is 7:2. After 10 years their ages will be in the ratio of 9:4. The present ages of the father is
(A) 35 years
(B) 40 years
(C) 30 years
(D) 25 years
Answer: (A) 35 years
At present, Father’s age = 7k and Son’s =2k
After 10 year, Father’s age will be = 7k+10 and Son’s =2k+10
ATQ,
(7k+10)/(2k+10) = 9/4
Or, 24k + 40 = 14k + 90
Or, k = 5
Present age of father = 7×5= 35 year
51. A driver of an auto rickshaw sees a lorry 60 m ahead of him. After 30 seconds the lorry is 90 m behind. If the speed of the auto rickshaw is 38 km/hr. then what is the speed of the lorry?
(A) 23 km/hr
(B) 25 km/hr
(C) 20 km/hr
(D) 18 km/hr
Answer: (C) 20 km/hr
Relative speed = Total distance/ Total time = (60 + 90)/30 = 5 m/s = 5 × 18/5 = 18 kmph
Now relative speed = speed of auto rickshaw – speed of lorry
or, 18 = 38 – speed of lorry
So, Speed of lorry = 38 – 18 = 20 km/h
52. If the ratio of speed of doing work of three persons is 1:3:5. what is the ratio of time taken by these people to do the same amount of work?

(D) None of these
Answer: (B) 3π
Hypotenuse = √{(18/10)2+ (24/10)2}
= √{(81/25)+(144/25)}
= √(225/25)
= √9
= 3
So, Diameter = 3
Circumference = Dπ= 3π
54. √(112 + 34 × 7-132 +10) = ?
(A) 25
(B) 19
(C) 21
(D) 23
Answer: (D) 23
√(112 + 34 × 7-132 +10)
= √(121+81×7-169+10)
=√(121+567-169+10)
= √529
=√23×23
= 23
55. 8 years ago, the ratio of A’s age to B’s age was 4:5. At present the ratio of B’s age to C’s age is 4:5. At present, the difference between A’s age and C ‘s age is 20 years, then what is the sum of the ages of A, B and C?
(A) 138 years
(B) 164 years
(C) 148 years
(D) 152 years
Answer: (C) 148 years
Let,
8 years ago, A’s age = 4x, B’s = 5x
So,
Present age of A = (4x+8) and B’s = (5x+8)
Let,
Present age of C = p
ATQ,
(5x+8)/p = 4/5
Or, 25x -4p = – 40 —-(1)
Now,
P – (4x+8) = 20
Or, 4x – p = – 28 —(2)
(1) – (2)×4,
25x – 4p – 16x + 4p = – 40 + 112
Or, 9x = 72
Or, x = 8
And, p = 4×8+28 = 60
Present age of C = 60
And, present age of A = (4×8+8) = 40
And, present age of B = (5×8+8) = 48
So, A + B + C= 40+48+60= 148
