46. 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

48. 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

49. 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

(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) 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%

53. 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, 2x² = 648
Or, x² = 324
Or, x = 18

54. 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.

55. 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

56. 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%

57. 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

58. 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
