1: The cost of A And B equities is the different of two positive integer.if sum of 4
equities of A and 5 equities of B is 27.what is the total cost of 2 equities of A and 3
Prepared by::: Musfik Alam

equities of B?

Solution :
4A+5B=27 or, A=(27-5B)/4--------(i)
now, if B=1 then A=(27-5)/4=4.5 which is not integer
it is only possible when B=3 then A=3
so 2A+3B=2*3+3*3=15

Note: according to condition A&B is different integer. but it is not possible to find out
different value of A & B

1.A man deposits 5000 tk at 5% annual interest for six months. In every six months he withdraws
tk 500 from his principal plus interest earned. What is the total amount of interest he received?
Solution: Semi annual, so Interest rate= 5/2%=2.5%
https://www.facebook.com/groups/bcsspotlight/

Total Interest= 2.5%*5000 + 2.5%*4500 + 2.5%*4000 + 2.5%*3500 + 2.5%*3000 + 2.5%*2500 +

2.5%* 2000 + 2.5%*1500 + 2.5%*1000 + 2.5%*500
=2.5%*27500
=687.5 Tk.
2.A man interest and wages from his investment tk 5000. If he invests double then the wages
increased 50% and total amount is tk 8000. What is his actual income in terms of wages and
interest?
Solution:
Let, Investment be X and Wages be Y
ATQ.
X +Y= 5000 ....(i)
2X + 1.5 Y= 8000....(ii)
Now, 2*(i)-(ii)=>
we get,
x=1000 and Y=4000
Ans: Investment= 1000 and wages=4000

Let,
20men can do in X days
1 men can do in 20x days
Again,
20-5=15men can do in 35-X days
1 men can do in 15(35-x) days

ATQ,
20x + 15(35-x)=600

Sonali Bank Limited Officer (IT) (23-12-2016)

1) The salaries of Lamia and Farzin are in the ratio 7:5 and the total of their salaries is Tk 12000.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/bcsspotlight/

If their annual increments are Tk 200 and Tk.150 respectively, what will be the ratio of their
salaries after one year?
Solution:
Let,
L = 7x
F= 5x
A/Q,
7x+5x = 12000
12x = 12000
x = 1000
So,
7x= 7*1000 = 7000
5x = 5*1000 = 5000
Now, required ratio = (7000+200): (5000+150)
= 7200: 5150 = 144:103
Answer: 144:103
2) A man goes upstream at 10 km/hr to a place and back down stream to same point at 6 km/ hr.
what is the average speed in the journey?
Solution:

Ans : 7.5 km/hr
3) A man is standing on a railway bridge which is 180 m long. He finds that a train crosses the
bridge in 20 seconds but himself in 8 seconds. Find the length of the train.
Solution:
let, lengh of the train x
now,
x/8 = x+ 180/20 ( Considering, Speed equal in both case)
hence solving equation
x = 120
speed = 120/8* 18/5 = 54
Ans : 120 m and 54 kmph
4) The sum of ages of the Father and Son is 50 years. when the ages of the son will be equal to the
Prepared by::: Musfik Alam

present age of the father, the sum of their ages will be 102 years. Find the age of Father and Son?
Solution:
Let,
Age of Father = X
Age of Son = x -50
Again,
When age of son will x, the age of father will = x + ( X - (50-x)) = 3x -50
Now,
3x-50+ x = 102
x = 38
Father's age = 38
Son's age = 50-38 = 12

Cost price = x
Gain = x%
atq,
x+x%of x = 39
https://www.facebook.com/groups/bcsspotlight/

x+x^2/100 = 39
100x+x^2 = 3900
x^2+100x-3900 = 0

United Commercial Bank Limited Probationary Officer (17-02-2017)

1: Mr X asked to construct a road of 1920 meters in 120 days. He appointed 160 workers and find
that in 24 days only 1/8 portion of work has been finished. How many additional number of
workers would be needed in order to completing the whole work in time?
Solution:
Remaining work = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8
Remaining number of days = 120-24 = 96
to do 1/8 of the work in 24 days, he needs = 160 workers
to do 7/8 of the work in 24 days, he needs = 160*7 workers
to do 7/8 of the work in 96 days, he needs = 160*7*24/96 workers = 280 workers.
additional workers needed = 280-160 = 120.
ans: 120.
2: The simple interest on a sum of money will be Tk.600 after 10 years. If the principal is trebled
after 5 years will be the total interest at the end of the tenth year?
Solution:Interest of 10 years = 600 tk
interest of 1 year = 600/10 = 60 tk
if the principal is trebled, the interest will also be trebled.
So, total interest in 10 years = (interest in first 5 years) + (interest in next 5 years) = (60×5) + (60×5×3)
= 1200 tk
ans: 1200 tk.

1.A man sells an article at a profit of 25% if he had bought it 20% less and sold it for Tk. 10.50
less he would gained 30%,find the cost price of the article?
Solution:
Let The C.P be Tk. x
Then S.P=x+x*25%=1.25x
When C.P 20% reduced,new cost=x-x*20%=0.80x
New S.P=0.80x+0.80x*30%=1.04x
ATQ,
1.25x-1.04x=10.50
x=50
2.A and B can do a piece of work in 18 days,B and C can do it in 24 days.A and C can do it in 36
days.In how many days will A,B and C finish it together and separately.
Published By :: Raju Ahmed .
 Recent Written Math Solution 2017 ( Up to April ‘’17) 5|Page
.
Solution:
By adding,we get
In1day 2(A+B+C)work=(1/18+1/24+1/36)=1/8 portion
In 1 day (A+B+C)=1/16
https://www.facebook.com/groups/bcsspotlight/

So A,B and C together can finish the work 16 days.

In 1 day A work=(A+B+C)-(B+C)=1/16-1/24=1/48
A alone can finish the work 48 days
In 1day B work =(A+B+C)-(A+C)=1/16-1/36=5/144
B alone can finish the work 144/5 days
In 1 day C work=(A+B+C)-(A+B)=1/16-1/18=1/144
C along can finish 144 days.
Ans: A=48 days,B=144/5 days,C=144 days

Prepared by::: Musfik Alam

Atq,
x*8*1/100+(300000-x)*10*1/100=25600
x=220000
So he invested Tk.220000 at 8%
and Tk. (300000-220000)=80000 at 10%
Ans: 220000TK, 80000TK

planting grass at 1.9TK per sq.meter. What will be the total cost of providing fence around the
field that costs 2.5TK per meter?
Let the width of the rectangular field = x m and length = 1.5x m According to the question 1.5x * x*1.9
= 10260 Or, x^2 = 3600 Therefore, x = 60 So, width = 60m, length = 90m

It takes 120 metric tone water to sink a ship.Through a hole in the full of the ship,water is entering
the ship at a rate of 2 metric tone per minute. At the same time,water is being pumped out at the
rate 1.5 metric tone per minute using one pump. After 1 hour and 20 minutes another pump of
same capacity was started. How much more time will it take to pump all the water out of the ship?
https://www.facebook.com/groups/bcsspotlight/

Solution:
Here,
Water enter ship per minute
=2 metric tone
Water pumped out per minute
=1.5 metric tone
Water entered more per minute
=(2-1.5)=.5 metric tone
**After 1 hr & 20 minutes or 80 minutes
Water poured =(80*.5)=40 MT
After 80 minutes another capacity
pumped out pump started
So two pump pumped out water per minute=(1.5+1.5)=3 metric T
And 1 minute more water
pumped out=(3-2)=1 metric tone
Now,
1MT pumped out =1 minute
40 «»«»«»«»«»«»«=(40*1)/1
=40 minutes
Answer:40 minutes
