A trader purchased some pens for Tk. 150. If the price of each pen was Tk. 5 less, he would have got 5 more pens. How many pens did he buy?
Correct Answer:
C: 10
Explanation:
A trader purchased some pens for Tk. 150. If the price of each pen was Tk. 5 less, he would have got 5 more pens. How many pens did he buy? Correct Answer 10 Let the number of pens bought by him be P. Then, the price of each pen = 150/P According to the question, 150/(P + 5) = (150/P) - 5 or, (P + 5) x {(150/P) - 5} = 150 or, 150 - 5P + 750/P - 25 = 150 or, (750 - 5P2)/P = 25 or, 750 - 5P2 = 25P or, 5P2 + 25P - 750 = 0 or, P2 + 5P - 150 = 0 or, P2 + 15P - 10P - 150 = 0 or, (P + 15)(P - 10) = 0 So, P = 10.
If A : B= 1 : 2, B : C = 4 : 3 and A + B + C = 450, what is the value of B?
Correct Answer:
D: 200
Explanation:
If A : B= 1 : 2, B : C = 4 : 3 and A + B + C = 450, what is the value of B? Correct Answer 200 A : B = 1:2, = 2:4 (multiplying by 2) B : C = 4:3 so, we get. A:B:C = 2:4:3 let, A = 2x, B = 4x, C = 3x According to the Question, A + B + C = 450 or, 2x + 4x + 3x = 450 or, 9x = 450 or, x = 50 ∴ B = 4x = 4*50 = 200 ans: 200
The length of a rectangle is increased by 50%. By what percent would the width have to be decreased to maintain the same area?
Correct Answer:
A: 33.33%
Explanation:
The length of a rectangle is increased by 50%. By what percent would the width have to be decreased to maintain the same area? Correct Answer 33.33% Let, the length of the rectangle be x cm and the breadth of the rectangle y cm Therefore area of the rectangle = x * y = xy cm² as the length is increased by 50% ∴ length = x + 50% of x = x + 50/100 *x = x + x/2 = 3x/2 Given that area is constant so, xy = 3x/2 * breadth breadth = 2xy/3x = 2y/3 cm Percentage of increase in breadth = decrease in breadth/original breadth *100 = (y - 2y/3)/y * 100 = ((3y - 2y) / 3)/y*100 = y/3y *100 = 100/3 = 33.333% The breadth is decreased by 33.333% (Ans)

Correct Answer:
A: 1575 sq.m.
Explanation:
A rectangular field of 200m by 120m has two roads running along its center, one along the length and the other along the width. If the width of the roads is 5m, what is the area covered by the two roads? Correct Answer 1575 sq.m. Area of the road along the length = 200 x 5 = 1000 sq. m. Area along the width = 120 x 5 = 600 Total area = 1000 + 600 = 1600 sq. m. But, the central (5 x 5) or 25 sq. m. area of the roads has been counted twice. So, the area of the two roads = 1600 - 25 = 1575 sq. m.
