01.60 men could complete a piece of work in 250 days. The

worked together for 200 days. After that the work had to be
stopped for 10 days due to bad weather. How many more men
should be engaged to complete the work in time

#Solution:

60*250=200*60+40*(60+x)
=> 15,000-12000= 2400+40x
=> 40x= 600
=> x= 15
So, More men= 15

02. 12 men can complete a piece of work in 36 days. 18 women

can complete the same piece of work in 60 days. 8 men and 20
women work together for 20 days. If only women were to
complete the remaining piece of work in 4 days, how many
women would be required? [Sonali Bank Officer (FF), 2019]

#Solution:

12M= 1/36
=> 12M*36= 1___________[1]
And 18W= 1/60
=> 18W*60= 1____________[2]
From [1] & [2]
12M*36= 18W*60
=> M:W= 5:2
ATQ,
18*2*60= [8*5+20*2]*20+W*2*4
=> 36*60-80*20= 8W
=> 8W= 560
=> W= 70[Answer.]

[03]Machine A, working alone at its constant rate, produces x

pounds of peanut butter in 12 minutes. Machine B, working
alone at its constant rate, produces x pounds of peanut butter in
18 minutes. How many minutes will it take machines A and B,
working simultaneously at their respective constant rates, to
produce x pounds of peanut butter? [Sonali Bank Cash Officer
(FF), 2019]
#Solution:

Machine A, 12 min= x
1 min= x/12
& Machine B, 18 min= x
=> 1 min= x/18
Together in 1 min= x/12+x/18= 5x/36 part
So,
5x/36 part in= 1 min
x part in= 36/5= 7.2 min[ Answer.]
[Q_4] The ratio of the numbers of boys and girls in a school
was 5:3. Some new boys and girls were admitted to the school,
in the ratio 5:7. At this, the total number of students in the
school became 1200, and the ratio of boys to girls changed to
7:5. What was the number of students in the school before new
admissions? [05 Bank Officer-Cash, 2019]

#Solution:

Ratio of no. Of boy & Girl= 7:5[Final]

Final students = 1200
Where, B= 1200*7/12= 700
So, Girl= 500
Let, initial B:G= 5x:3x
Added B:G= 5y:7y
So,
5x+5y= 700
=> (x+y)= 140
=> x= 140-y______[1]
And,
3x+7y= 500
=> 3*(140-y)+7y= 500
=> 4y= 80
=> y= 20
So, x= 140-20= 120
So, Intial students= 5x+3x= 8x= 8*120= 960[Answer.]

[Q_5] . A product is made with three components A, B, C and

the ratio of the prices are 4:3:2. After 1 year price of A
increased by 10%, B increased by 8% and C decreased by 5%.
What is the percentage of total increase? [Sonali Bank Officer
(FF), 2019]

#Solution:

A:B:C= 4:3:2
Let, A= 40
B= 30
C= 20
New:
A= 110% of 40= 44
B= 108% of 30= 32.4
C= 95% of 20= 19
So, Initial= (40+30+20)= 90
New= (44+32.4+19)= 95.4
Increase= 5.4
%= 5.4*100/90= 6%

#Solution:

R:L:O= 4:3:2
Let, R= 40
L= 30
O= 20
New:
R= 110% of 40= 44
L= 108% of 30= 32.4
O= 95% of 20= 19
So, Initial= (40+30+20)= 90
New= (44+32.4+19)= 95.4
Increase= 5.4

[Q_9] The purchase price of a watch and wall clock is Tk. 390.
If the watch is sold at 10% profit and the wall clock at 15%
profit, total profit earned is Tk. 51.50. Find the purchase price
difference between the wall clock and the watch. [Sonali Bank
Senior Officer (FF), 2019]

#Solution:

W+C= 390___________[1]
And,
110% of W+115% of C= 441.5
=> 11W/10+23C/20= 441.5
=> 22W+23C= 441.5*20
=> 22*(390-C)+23C= 8830
=> C=8830-8580= 250
So, W= (390-250)= 140
Diff. [250-140]=110[Answer.]

#Solution:

A= x
B= x-12
C= x-18
And,
B= x
C= x-8
ATQ,
(x-12):x::(x-18):(x-8)
=> x(x-18)= (x-8)(x-12)
=> x^2-18x= x^2-12x-8x-96

=> x= 48m [Answer.]

[Q_13] . A river is flowing at a speed of 5 kmph in a

particular direction. A man, who can swim at a speed of
20 kmph in still water, starts swimming along the
direction of flow of the river from point A and reaches
another point B which is at a distance of 30 km from
the starting point A. On reaching point B, the man turns
back and starts swimming against the direction of flow of
the river and stops after reaching point A. The total time
taken by the man to complete his journey is? [Sonali
Bank Officer (FF), 2019]

#Solution:
Stream speed= 5 km/hr
Boat speed= 20 km/hr
So, Downstream speed= 20+5= 25
Upstream = 20-5= 15
Time needed= 30/25+30/15
= 6*60/5+2
= 1 hr 12 min+ 2 hr
= 3 hr 12 min

[Q_14] The distance between two stations ‘X’ and ‘Y’ is 450 km.
A train L starts at 6:00pm from X and moves towards Y at an
average speed of 60 kmph. Another train M starts from Y at
5:20pm and moves towards X at an average speed of 80 kmph.
How far from X will the two trains meet and at what time?
[Sonali Bank Officer (FF), 2019]

#Solution:
X_________450___________Y
L>_______________________<M
6:00______________________5:20
Speed of M= 80 km/hr
In 40 min M goes= 80*40/60= 160/3
Now, Distance between them=[450-160/3]= 1190/3
RS= 140
Time= (1190/3)*(1/140)= 17/6 hr
= 2 hr 50 min
So, they meet at= (6:00+2:50)= 8:50
And Distance= 17*60/6= 170 km[Answer.]

1. A gardener plants two rectangular gardens in separate regions
on his property. The first garden has an area of 600 feet and a
length of 40 feet. If the second garden has a width twice that of
the first garden, but only half of the area, what is the ratio of
the perimeter of the first garden to that of the second garden?
[Sonali Bank Cash Officer (FF), 2019]
#Solution:
First Garden Area= 600 feet
L= 40 ft.
So, B= 600/40= 15
Perimeter= 2*(15+40)= 110
2nd garden W= 30
So, L= 300/30= 10
Perimeter= 2*(30+10)= 80
Ratio of perimeter= 110:80= 11:8[Answer.]

[Q_17]A’ began a small business with a certain amount of

money. After four months from the start of the business, ‘B’

than ‘A’s initial investment. ‘C’ joined the business after seven
months from the start of the business with an amount which
was Tk. 2000 less than A’s initial investment. At the end of the
year total investment repented was Tk. 142000. What will be A’s
share in the profit, if B received Tk. 8000 as profit share? [05
Bank Officer-Cash, 2019]

#Solution:

A:B:C= 12x:8(x-6000):5*(x-2000)
ATQ,
12x+8x-48,000+5x-10,000= 1,42,000
=> x= 8000
A:B:C= 12*8000:8*2000:5*6000

[Q_18] A and B started a business with initial investments in the

respective ratio of 18:7. After four months from the start of the
business, A invested Tk. 2000 more and B invested Tk. 7000
more. At the end of one year, if the profit was distributed among
them in the ratio of 2:1 respectively, then what was the total
initial investment with which A and B started the business? [Sonali
Bank Officer (FF), 2019]

#Solution:
A= 18x*4+8*(18x+2000)
= 216x+16,000
B= 4*7x+8(7x+7000)
= 84x+56,000
(216x+16,000)/(84x+56000)= 1/2
=> 216x-168x= 96,000
=>x= 2000
Initial investment= 25*2000= 50,000
[Answer]
[Q_19] A, B and C are partners. ‘A’ whose money has been in
the business for 4 months claims 1/8 of the profit; ‘B’ whose

#Solution:

Since total boys and girls = 16

Boys must multiple of 5 and girls must multiple of 3 so
Total boys = 10
Shorter boys = 10*1/5 = 2
Total girls = 6
Taller girls = 6*1/3 = 2
ATQ,
Shortest girl = 1 and Tallest boy = 1
Shorter boys = 2 and Taller girls = 2
So
Taller than shortest girls and shorter than tallest boy =(16-2-2-1-1)=10
10*100/16 = 62.5%
Ans: 62.5%

hours. If tank is completely filled and both pipes are opened
simultaneously then 450 liters of water is removed from the tank is 2.5
hours. What is the capacity of the tank?

#Solution:

Pipe one can fill 0.9hr or (9/10)hr = 1 part

So, in 1 hr = 10/9 part
And, other can empty (7/10)hr = 1 part
So, in 1 hr = 10/7 part

to fill the tank?

[
 
_SO(18)]

#Solution:
Pipe one can fill a tank in = 20 hr
Pipe other can fill a tank in= 30 hr
So, (1/20+1/30) part in = 1 hr
=> 1/12 part in = 1 hr
=> 1 part in = 12 hr
Now, 1/3 water goes out which means extra time need = 12/3= 4 hr
So, total time = (12+4)= 16 hr[Answer.]

Alternative:
LCM of 20 & 30= 60
A= 3
B= 2
Total time need = 60/(3+2)= 12 hr
1/3 goes out means = 60/3= 20 L goes out.
Now, extra time= 20/(3+2)= 4 hr
So, total time = 12+4 = 16 hr[Answer.]
