[Jibon Bima AM 20] [ Karnaphuli Gas Distribution Company Limited - Assistant Manager (General) – 2021]
Solution:
Password is made up of two letters followed by two single digit numbers. We can choose two letters out of twenty-six
letters (A-Z) available, but we can choose only five single digit numbers out of possible ten single digit numbers (0-9) as the
password uses only even digits for the numbers.
Here, total possibility = 26 × 26 × 10 × 10
The number of passwords that the only even digits for the numbers = 26 × 26 × 5 × 5

Solution:
Mubarak must travel due south for 5 miles and then due east for another 12 miles to reach his house.
Mubarak could travel in a straight line from the store to his home, it’s called hypotenuse.
So therefore two Sides are = 5 and 12.

Application of Pythagoras theorem. West East

base2 + height2 = hypotenuse2
or, 52+122 = hypotenuse2
or, hypotenuse2 = 25+144 =169 South
or, hypotenuse = √169 =13.
Mubarak could travel 13 miles in a straight line from the store to his home
So, fewer miles be = (5+12)-13

6. Solution:
(A) Given that, Selling price of each bike = tk. 60,000
1st discount of 10,000 2nd discount of 10,000 3st discount of Remaining Total discount
Raju gives 10,000 × 10% =1000 10,000 × 5% =500 40,000 × 5% = 2000 1000+500+2000=3500
Saju gives 10,000 × 10% =1000 10,000 × 5% =500 40,000 × 10% = 4000 1000+500+4000=5500

100
Cost price = 60,000 × = 50,000
120
So, profit = 60,000 - 50,000 = 10,000
Raju gets = 60,000 – 3,500 = 56,500
So, Raju’s profit = 56,500 – 50,000 = 6,500
6500
Raju’s profit percentage = × 100 = 13%
50,000
Again, Saju gets = 60,000 – 5,500 = 54,500
So, Saju’s profit = 54,500 – 50,000 =4500
4500
Saju’s profit percentage = × 100 = 9%
50,000
So, the percentage profit Raju gets the higher one.
Answer: Raju gets the higher one.

(B) According to the question,

1st discount of 10,000 2nd discount of 10,000 3st discount of Remaining Total discount
New discount Rate 10% 5% - 1% = 4% 5% - 2% = 3%
1000+400+1200
Raju gives 10,000 × 10% =1000 10,000 × 4% =400 40,000 × 3% = 1200
=2600
So, Raju’s profit be (10000 – 2600) =7400
Answer: 7400

Solution:
Let, the base of square pyramid be x1, x2 and Height of square pyramid be h1, h2 & the volume of the pyramid be V1, V2
If the height of a right square pyramid is increased by 12%,
Let, h1 =100h then h2 =100h+100h×12% =112h
If the volume of the pyramid is increased by 28%,
Let, V1=100V then V2 = 100V+100V×28% =128V

Solution:
Let, they had passed when Lisa caught up to Sam after t sec.
Given that, Speed of Sam 5 m/sec
Speed of Lisa 8 m/sec
Sam stands 15 sec earlier
Therefore, sam crosses =15 × 5 = 75 m
According to the question,
8t = 5t +75 [Distance = Speed× Time]
Or, 8t - 5t = 75
Or, 3t =75
Or, t = 75/3 = 25
So, they will meet after 25 sec.
Answer: 25 sec.
Alternative:
Let, Sam took x sec and Lisa took (x -15) sec.
According to the question,
8(x-15) = 5x [Distance = Speed× Time]
Or, 8x – 120 = 5x
Or, 8x – 5x = 120
Or, 3x = 120/3 = 40
Lisa caught up to Sam after (40-15) = 25 sec.

Solution:
Susan should make hampers worth $ 13.
Let, Susan makes x hampers of $ {3, 3, 3, 4}, y hampers of $ {4, 4, 5}, and z hampers of $ {5, 5, 3}.
The answer to ‘x’ is the answer to the question.
Number of $3 certificates will be 3x + z = 13 ...................(1)
Number of $4 certificates will be x + 2y = 13 ...................(2)
Number of $5 certificates will be y + 2z = 13 ....................(3)
Subtract (2) from (3) × 2
2y + 4z – x – 2y = 26 - 13
or, 4z – x = 13 .....................................................................(4)
Again , Subtract (4) and (1) × 4
12x + 4z – 4z + x = 52 – 13
or, 13x = 39
Or x = 3
'x' is the number of gift hampers without $5 certificates.
As x = 3, three gift hampers did not contain $5 gift certificates.
Answer: 3 gift hampers did not contain $5 gift certificates in the new configuration.

Solution:
When divided by 44 remainder is 31. So, if we add (44-31)= 13 and then divide by 44 remainder will be 0 (as 31+13 becomes 44).
Similarly, after adding (56-43) =13, remainder when divided by 56 becomes 0.
Similarly, after adding (32-19) =13, remainder when divided by 32 becomes 0
Here, the LCM of 44, 56 & 32 be 2464
But this number is after adding 13; so required number is 2464-13 =2451

Solution:
Train Average Speed = 100 km/hr.
600
With this speed, train can cover 600 km in = 6 hours
100
Train used to stop for 3 minutes after every 75 km.
600
So, Train will stop in the whole journey = = 8 times
75
Therefore, train will stop 7 times in journey & after 7th stopping train will be at the destiny in next stop.
So, extra time = 7 × 3 = 21 minutes.
Total time taken in the journey = 6 hour 21 minutes

Abyev`t ‡KvbwU ¶y`«Zg msL¨v hv w`‡q 3600 ‡K fvM Ki‡j GwU GKwU wbLyuZ NbK n‡e?
Solution:
First we have to factorize 3600.
3600 can also be written 2×2×2×2×3×3×5×5
As we can see in the prime factorization of 3600, there is a repeated factor 2 for four times and remaining factors are repeated
less than 3 times.
For a perfect cube there must be a repeating factor for 3 times.
So 3600 must be divided by 2×3×3×5×5to give a perfect cube 2×2×2=8
And 2×3×3×5×5= 450
So 3600 must be divided by 450 to give a perfect cube 8

Solution:
Let, Karina bought 10 pounds first.
Because of her faulty spring, she sold 10 pounds as 9 pounds.
Selling price = 9×3 = $ 27
Deducting 10% discount = 27 – (27×10%) = $24.3
So for one pound the value = $ (27 – 24.3) = $ 2.43
Alternative
Let, Karina bought 10 kg wheat at $ x per kg.
So, total cost price of wheat = $ 10x
At 10% discount, selling price per kg of wheat be = $ {3 – (3×10%)} = $ 2.7
Her faulty spring reads 0.90 kg for a kg.
So, 10 kg will read = (10×0.9) = 9 kg
Total selling price = $ (9×2.7) = $ 24.3
According to the question,
10x = 24.3
Or, x = 2.43 [Cost Price = Selling Price]
She purchased at $2.43 from the wholesaler.
Answer: $2.43

[Jibon Bima AM 2020]
Solution:
Selling Price of the house be = (100 – 25) %=75% CP of 1st house
225,000×100
so, CP of 1st house = = 300,000
75
Cost Price of new house = 70% CP of 1st house
300,000×100
so, CP of new house = = 210,000
70
Net gain = SP of 1st house - CP of new house = 225,000 - 210,000 = 15,000
Answer: $ 15,000
Alternative,
Let, Karen originally paid for the house be $100x
25
At 25% loss, selling price = $(100x –100x× 25%) = $(100x –100x× ) = $(100x-25x) = $75x
100
Another house she sold at 30% loss, so selling price = $(100x –100x× 25%)
30
= $(100x –100x× ) = $(100x – 30x) = $70x
100
According to the question,
75x = 225,000
300,000×70
So 70x = = 210,000
75
Net gain = $(225,000-210,000) = $ 15,000
Answer: $ 15,000

Solution:
Let,
Total Number of candidates n (U) = 200
Number of candidates who had for two-wheeler, n(A) = 100
Number of candidates who had for credit card, n(B) = 70
Number of candidates who had for mobile phone, n(C) =140.
Number of candidates who had for a two-wheeler and a credit card, n(A∩B) = 40
Number of candidates who had for a credit card and a mobile phone, n(B∩C) = 30
Number of candidates who had for a two-wheeler and mobile phone, n(C∩A) = 60
Number of candidates who had for Physics, Chemistry and Math, n(A∩B∩C) = 10

Solution:
Let the sums of money received by Alice, Bond and Charlie be x, y and z respectively.
Then x−10: y−20: z−15 =11a:18a:24a
When $10, $20 and $15 are removed, we are removing a total of $ (10+20+15)= $ 45 from $1105.
Therefore, 11a+18a+24a=1105−45
⟹11a+18a+24a =1060
⟹ 53a=1060
⟹ a=20.
We know that z−15 = 24a = 24×20 = 480
Therefore, z = 480+15 = $ 495
Answer: Charli receive $ 495

Solution:
Let, Erica’s wages = 100
Robin earns 30% more than Erica. So, Robin’s wages = 100 + 30% of 100 = 130
Charles earns 60% more than Erica. So, Charles's wages = 100 + 60% of 100 = 160
Wages earned by Charles more than Robin = 160 – 130 =30
30
Percentage by which wage earned by Charles is more than that earned by Robin = × 100 = 23.08%

Solution:
Let, cost price be Tk. x
According to the question,
1920 – x = x – 1280 [ Selling Price – Cost price ]
Or, 1920 +1280 = x+ x
Or, 2x = 3200
∴ x = 1600
Cost price is Tk. 1600
At 25% profit, new selling price = Tk. (1600+25% of 1600) = Tk. 2000
Answer: Tk. 2000

To fence the 25 feet long side, required number of pillars = (25÷5) + 1 = 6
To fence the 40 feet long side, required number of pillars = (40÷5) + 1 = 9
To fence the 55 feet long side, required number of pillars = (55÷5) + 1 = 12
As the plot is triangular and each of the two sides have a common vertex,
Total number of pillars needed = (6+9+12) – (1×3) = 24.

John spent 40% of the earnings on rent.
He also spent 30% less than that to purchase a dishwasher,
so % amount spent on dishwasher = (100 – 30 ) % = 70% ×(40%) = 28%.
So, he was left with (100 – 40 – 28 )% = 32% of his earnings.
Answer:32%

Solution:
According to the 1st condition, x% of 4000 + y% of 5000 = 320
𝑥 𝑦
Or, 4000 × + 5000 × = 320
100 100
Or, 40x+50y = 320
∴ 4x+5y = 32 ----------------------------------- (1)
According to the 2nd condition, x% of 5000 + y% of 4000 = 310
𝑥 𝑦
Or, 5000 × + 4000 × = 320
100 100
Or, 50x+40y = 310
∴ 5x+4y = 31 ----------------------------------- (2)
Now, Subtraction equation (1)×5 & (2)×4
20x+25y – 20x – 16y = 160 - 124
or, 25y- 16y = 36
or, 9y = 36
∴y=4
Putting the value of y in the equation (2), we get

Let, cost price be Tk. 100.
At x% loss, selling price = Tk. (100-x)
If selling price Tk. (100-x) then cost price Tk. 100
100×10
If selling price Tk. 10 then cost price =Tk.

Solution:
Let the Cost price of the article = 100.
Then, Market Price of the article= 100+ 20 = 120
Rate of Discount =10%

Let,
Number of students studying Mathematics, n(M) = 40
Number of students studying Physics, n(P) = 35
Number of students studying Chemistry, n(C) = 30
Number of students studying all three subjects n(M∩P∩C) = 15
Number of students, n(M∪P∪C) = 70
We know, n(M∪P∪C) = n(M)+ n(P) + n(C) – {n(M∩ P)+ n(P ∩C) + n(C ∩M)}+ n(M ∩ P ∩ C)
Or, 70 = 40 + 35 + 30 – {n(M∩ P)+ n(P ∩C) + n(C ∩M)}+15
Or, n(M∩ P)+ n(P∩ C) + n(C∩ M) = 120-70
∴ n(M∩ P)+ n(P∩ C) + n(C ∩M) = 50.

The number of studying exactly two of the subjects, n(M′∩P∩C) + n(M∩P′∩C) + n(M∩P∩ C′)
= n(P∩C)- n(M∩P ∩C) + n(M∩C)- n(M∩P∩C) + n(M∩P)- n(M∩P∩C)

1. Proof of identity of 115 people was verified. 65 of them had Passport, 30 of them had both Passport and Voter ID.
However, 15 of them could not produce any identity documents. How many of them showed up only with Voter ID?

Solution:
Let,
Number of people who had passport, n(P)= 65
Number of people who had Voter ID, n(V)
Number of people who had both Passport and Voter ID n(PV) =30.
n(PV) =115-15 = 100
We know,
n(PV) = n(P) + n(V) – n(PV)
Or, 100 = 65 + n(V) – 30
n(V) = 100-65+30 = 65
65 people had Voter ID.
The number of people who had Voter ID only = 65-30 = 35.

According to the question,
7.5% of 24,000+ 10% of x = 9.25% of (24,000+x)
75 10 925
Or, ×24,000+ x= × (24,000+x)

Or, 75×2400 +10x = 9.25(24,000+x)
Or, 180,000 +10x = 222,000+9.25x
Or, 10x - 9.25x = 222,000 - 180,000

Solution:
360,000
Cost of per kg rice = = Tk. 300
1200
Profit = 10% of Tk. 360,000 = Tk. 36000
3
sold in his cost price =3/4th of 1200 = ×1200kg = 900kg
4
Selling price of 900 kg rice = Tk. (900×300) = Tk. 270,000
Remaining cost amount = Tk. (360,000-270,000) = 90,000
Remaining Quantity of rice = (1200-900) kg = 300 kg
90,000+36,000
With profit per kg selling price of 300 kg rice = = Tk. 420
300
The sold price of the profit-making rice per kg Tk. 420.
Answer: Tk. 420.
