(a) 5684
(b) 6000
(c) 5376

- Three angles of a triangle are in proportion 5:6:7. Then what is the difference in degrees between the biggest and the smallest angles?
(a) 10°
(b) 20°
(c) 25°
(d) 30°
Answer: 20°
Solution:
Sum of 3 angles of a triangle = 180°
Sum of ratio = 5+6+7 = 18
So, the larger angle = 180° × 7/18 = 70°
And, the smaller angle = 180° × 5/18 = 50°
Difference = 70° – 50° = 20°

(a) AB=BC
(b) CA=CB
(c) AB=AC

Answer: CA=CB
Solution:
Distance of (x
1,y
1) & (x
2,y
2) = √{(x
1 – x
2)
2 + (y
1 – y
2)
2}
AB/BA = √{(1 – 5)
2 + (0 – 0)
2 }= √(-4)
2 = √16 = 4
BC/CB = √{(5 – 3)
2 + (0 – 4)
2 }= √22 + 16 = √20 = 2√5
AC/CA=√{(1-3)
2 + (0 – 4)
2 }= √4 + 16 =√20 = 2√5

(a) 117
(b) 143
(C) 145
(d) 165
Answer: 143
Solution:
Let, the carpet length = x

x = 13
width of the room = (13-2) cm = 11 cm
area of the room = (13×11)2 = 143 cm2
- A box contains 12 poles and 7 pieces of net. Each piece of net weighs 0.2 gm: each pole weighs 1.1gm. The box and its contents together weigh 16.25 gm. How much does the empty box weigh?
(a) 1.2 gm
(b) 1.65 gm
(c) 2.75 gm
(d) 6.15 gm
Answer: 1.65 gm
Solution:
Weight of 7 nets = (7×0.2)gm =1.4gm
Weight of 12 poles = (12×1.1)gm = 13.2gm
Total weight of net and pole = (1.4+13.2)gm = 14.6gm
Box weight is = (16.25 – 14.6) = 1.65gm
- If an inspector rejects 0.08% of a product as defective, how many units of the product will he examined in order to reject 2?
(a) 1500
(b) 500
(c) 2000
(d) 2500

Answer: 27
Solution:
Let,
one side of first cube = a
So, Volume of first cube = a
3
ATQ,
One side of the 2
nd cube = (3a)
3 = 27a
3
Times = 27a
3 / a
3 = 27
- The average of 6 numbers is 25. If 3 more numbers, with an average of 22 are added to these numbers, what will be the average of the combined 9 numbers?
(a) 20
(b) 24
(c) 26
(d) 32
Answer: 24
Solution:
Sum of 6 numbers = (6×25) = 150.
Sum of 3 additional numbers = (3 × 22) = 66.
Sum of (6 + 3) =9 numbers = (150+66)=216
.:. average of 9 numbers = 216/9 = 24
- In a container, there are 2 green marbles and 2 red marbles. You randomly pick the marbles. What is the probability that both of them are green?
(a) ½
(b) 1/4
(c) 1/6
(d) 1/3
Answer: 1/6
Solution:
green ball = 2
Red ball = 2
From 4 balls, possibility of 2 green = 4C2 = 6
From 2 balls, possibility of 1 green = 2C2 = 1.
From rest 2 balls, possibility of being green = 2C2=1
Possibility of 2 green = (2C2 x 2C2)/4C2= (1×1)/6= 1/6
- Three boys have marbles in the ratio of 19:5:3. If the boy with the least number has 9 marbles. how many marbles does the boy with the greatest number have?
(a) 57
(b) 33
(c) 27
(d) 81
Answer: 57
Solution:
Smaller ratio 3 = 9
So, Smaller ratio 1 = 9/3 = 3
Now,
Highest ratio 19 = 19×3 = 57
- A water tank has two taps (Tap-1 and Tap-2). Tap-1 can fill a tank in 8 hours and Tap.2.can empty the tank in 16 hours. How long will they take to fill the tank if both taps are opened simultaneously but Tap-2 is closed after 8 hours?
(a) 10
(b) 12
(c) 14
(d) 16
Answer: 12
Solution:
Tap-1, fills in 1 hr = 1/8
Tap-2, empties in 1 hr = 1/16
When both taps are open, the tank fills in 1 hr = (1/8 – 1/16) = 1/16
In 8 hrs, the tank fills = 1/16 ×৪ = ½
Remaining = 1 – ½ = ½
½ is filled by only Tap 1
1/8 is filled by Tap-1 in 1 hr
So, ½ is filled by = (1×8)/2= 4 hr
Total time = 8+4 = 12 hr
- An iron rod that weighs 24 kg is cut into two pieces so that one of these pieces weighs 16 kg and is 34 m long. If the weight of each piece is proportional to its length, how long is the other piece?
(a) 11 m
(b) 17 m
(c) 34 m
(d) 68 m
Answer: 17 m
Solution:
16 kg rod = 34m
24 kg rod = (34×24)/16 = 51m
Length of the other part is = 51-34 = 17m
- The price of a pen is 25% more than the price of a book. The price of a pen holder is 50% more than the price of the book. How much is the price of the pen holder more than the price of the pen?
(a) 50%
(b) 25%
(c) 20%
(d) 37.5%
Answer: 20%
Solution:
Let price of book = 100tk
Price of pen = 100+100×25% = 125 tk
Price of penholder = 100 + 100×50% = 150 tk
Difference is = 150 -125 = 25 tk
Percentage = (25×100)/125 = 20%
- A 10% monthly salary increase resulted in a Tk.9000 per year increase in salary for an employee. What was his monthly salary before the increase?
(a) Tk.7500
(b) Tk.8500
(c) Tk.5000
(d) Tk.9500
Answer: Tk. 7500
Solution:
Yearly increase = 9000 tk
Monthly increase = 9000/12 = 750 tk
10% of Salary is = 750 tk
100% of Salary is = (750×100)/10 = 7500 tk
- The sum of principal and simple interest of a certain amount of money would be Tk.460 after 3 years from now and Tk. 500 after 5 years from now. What is the total interest rate?
(a) 5%
(b) 12%
(c) 15%
(d) 20%
Answer: 5%
Solution:
(5 – 3) yr = 2 yrs interest = (500 – 460) = 40 tk
1 year interest = 40/2 = 20 tk.
3 year interest = (20 × 3) = 60 tk
Principal amount= (460 – 60) = 400 tk
Interest rate = 60/(400×3) = 0.05 = 5%
- The ratio between the perimeter and the breadth of a rectangular is 5:1. If the area of the rectangle is 216 cm2, what is the length of the rectangle?
(a) 16 cm
(b) 18 cm
(c) 20 cm
(d) 22 cm
Answer: 18 cm
Solution:
Let,
Length and breadth of the rectangle= x, y
So, area = xy
Perimeter = 2(x+y)
ATQ,
2(x+y)/y = 5
Or, 2x + 2y = 5y
Or, 2x = 3y
Or, y = 2x/3
Now,
xy = 216
Or, x × 2x/3 = 216
Or, 2x
2 = 648
Or, x
2 = 324
Or, x = 18
- An article when sold at a gain of 5% yields Tk. 15 more than when sold at a loss of 5%. Its cost price would be
(a
) Tk. 100
(b) Tk 150
(c) Tk 200
(d) Tk 250
Answer: Tk. 150
Solution:
At 5% profit, selling price = 100+5=105 tk.
At 5% loss, selling price = 100-5= 95 tk.
Difference between selling price = 105-95=10 tk.
If difference 10, then cost = 100tk
If difference 1, then cost = 100/10 tk
If difference 15, then cost = (100×15)/10 tk = 150tk.
- If for integer x, 5<x<10 and y=x+5, what is the greatest possible value of x+y?
(a) 32
(b) 22
(c) 23
(d) 27
Answer: 23
Solution:
Given,
5 < x < 10 and y =x+5
Possible value of x = 6, 7, 8, 9
When x =9,
y =9+5 = 14
Now,
x + y = 9 + 14 = 23
- Increasing the original price of an item by 10%, then decreasing by 20% and then again increasing the price by 10% is equivalent:
(a) 4.4% increase
(b) 3.2% decrease
(c) 3.5% decrease
(d) None of these
Answer: 3.2% decrease
Solution:
Let,
Selling price = 100
After 10% increase = (100+10)=110
After 20% decrease = (110 – 20% of 110) = 88
After 10% increase = (88 + 10% of 88) = 96.8
Final decrease = (100-96.8)=3.2%
- The interest charged on a loan is p dollars per $1,000 for the first month and q dollars per $1000 for each month after the first month. How much interest will be charged during the first three months on a loan of $10,000?
(a) 10p+20q
(b) 30q
(C) 30p
(d) 20p+10q
Answer: 10p+20q
Solution:
Interest = 1
st month + 2
nd month + 3
rd month
= p×(10000/1000) + q×(10000/1000) + q×(10000/1000)
=10p +10q + 10q
= 10p + 20q
- In a club 50% of the male voters and 80% of the female voters voted for candidate A. If candida A received 70% of the total votes, what is the ratio of male to female voters?
(a) 1/3
(b
) ¾
(c) 1/4
(d) 1/2
Answer: 1/2
Solution:
Male voter = x
Female voter = y
50% of x + 80% of y = 70% of (x+y)
50x/100 + 80y/100 = 70(x+y)/100
50x + 80y = 70x + 70y
80y – 70y= 70x – 50x
10y = 20x
x/y = 10/20 = ½
- In June a baseball team that played 60 games had won 30% of its games played. After a phenomenal winning streak this team raised its average to 50% How many games must the team have won in a row to attain this average?

(b) 45
(c) 20
(d) 24
Answer: 24
Solution:
Let, Additional match = x
Now,
30% of 60+ x = 50% of (60+x)
Or, 18+x = 30+0.5x
Or, x = 24
