Correct Answer 13 Let the present age of Sanda is x Present age of Sampa is x + 10 In 7 years Sampa’s age is x + 10 + 7 = x + 17 B’s age is x + 7 x + 17 = 2(x + 7) or,x + 17 = 2x + 14 ∴ x = 3 so, Present age of Sampa is 3 + 10 = 13 yrs ans: 13 yrs
A man can row a boat at 10 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the stream is 6 km/hr, the time taken to row a distance of 80 km downstream is:
Correct Answer:
D: 20 hours
Explanation:
A man can row a boat at 10 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the stream is 6 km/hr, the time taken to row a distance of 80 km downstream is: Correct Answer 20 hours Relative downstream speed = 10 + 6 = 16 km/hr So, time needed = distance / speed = 80 / 16 = 5 hours.
The average of a, b, c is 6 and a-b = 4, ab = 21, what is the value of c ?
Correct Answer:
C: 8
Explanation:
The average of a, b, c is 6 and a-b = 4, ab = 21, what is the value of c ? Correct Answer 8 Here, a - b = 4 or, a = b + 4 - - - - - - (i) Again, ab = 21 or, (b + 4)b = 21 [from (i)] or, b2 + 4b - 21 = 0 or. b2 + 7b - 3b - 21 = 0 or, b(b + 7) - 3(b + 7) = 0 or, (b + 7) (b - 3) = 0 or, b - 3 = 0 [b ≠ - 7] So, b = 3. Now, a + b + c = 6 x 3 or, a + b + c = 18 or, b + 4 + b + c = 18 [from(i)] or, 3 + 4 + 3 + c = 18 or, c = 18 - 10 = 8
If the radius of a circle is increased by 6%, then the area of the circle is increased by -
Correct Answer:
C: 12.36%
Explanation:
If the radius of a circle is increased by 6%, then the area of the circle is increased by - Correct Answer 12.36% Initial area = πr2 New radius = r + 6% of r = 1.06r So, new area = π(1.06r)2 = 1.1236πr2 So, percentage of increase in area = (1.1236πr2 - πr2) / πr2 x 100% = 12.36%
A truck dirver must complete a 180-mile trip in 4 housr. If his average speed is 50 miles per hour for first 3 hours , then how fast must he travel for the final hour ?
Correct Answer:
D: 30

The arithmetic mean of the set of observations 1, 2, 3, --------n is -----
Correct Answer:
A: n+1/2
Explanation:
The arithmetic mean of the set of observations 1, 2, 3, --------n is ----- Correct Answer n+1/2 The arithmetic mean of a set of numbers is equal to the sum of the numbers divided by the total number of numbers. In this case, we want to find the arithmetic mean of the set of observations from 1 to n.The sum of the numbers from 1 to n can be found using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:sum = (n/2)(first term + last term)In this case, the first term is 1, the last term is n, and the common difference is 1. Therefore, we have:sum = (n/2)(n+1)The total number of numbers in the set is n, so the arithmetic mean is:mean = sum/nSubstituting the expression for sum, we get:mean = [(n/2)(n+1)]/nSimplifying, we get:mean = (n+1)/2Therefore, the arithmetic mean of the set of observations 1, 2, 3, ..., n is (n+1)/2

If the circumference of a circle is increased by 50%, its area will be increased by :
Correct Answer:
C: 125%
Explanation:
If the circumference of a circle is increased by 50%, its area will be increased by : Correct Answer 125% Circumference of a circle increases only with radius. Therefore, radius of the circle gets increased by 50%. Now, new radius = R + 50% of R = 1.5R Initial area = π R2 New area = π (1.5R)2 = 2.25 π R2 Percent increase = ((2.25 π R2) - (π R2)} / (π R2) x 100% = 125%

The ratio of the angles of a triangle is 2 : 3 : 4. What is the largest angle in degrees ?
Correct Answer:
C: 80
Explanation:
The ratio of the angles of a triangle is 2 : 3 : 4. What is the largest angle in degrees ? Correct Answer 80 Let the angles be 2x, 3x and 4x respectively. Now, 2x + 3x + 4x = 180° or, 9x = 180° or, x = 180/9 = 20 So, the largest angle = 4x = 4 x 20 = 80°

The smallest five digit number that can be formed by using the digits 9 , 7, 4 ,0 and 1 , each only once, is
Correct Answer:
C: 10479
Explanation:
The smallest five digit number that can be formed by using the digits 9 , 7, 4 ,0 and 1 , each only once, is Correct Answer 10479 As there are only 5 digits available, we have to use all of the digits to form a 5 digit number. To form the smallest number possible using these numbers, the smallest digits should be the first digit of the number and the other digits in an increasing order. But, 0 being the smallest digit here, the number actually becomes a 4 digit numbers in that case. So, we need to put 1 in the first place instead of 0. The arrangement of the digits is 1>0>4>7>9 and so the smallest number is 10479.

Mr. Khan's salary is TK. 5000.00 and he gets 10% commission of his salary. If his salary increased by 10%, by what percent his commission will increase ? Correct Answer 10% Even if the percentage of his commission remains the same, his total commission will increase due to the increament of his salary. Previous commission = 10% of 5000 = 500 New salary = 5000 + 10% of 5000 = 5000 + 500 = 5500 New commission = 10% of 5500 = 550 Increament of commission = (550 - 500) / 500 x 100% = 10%
what is the largest number of mangoes not exceeding 440 that can be distribute among three persons in the proportions 5^ 6^ 7?
Correct Answer:
B: 432
Explanation:
what is the largest number of mangoes not exceeding 440 that can be distribute among three persons in the proportions 5^ 6^ 7? Correct Answer 432 The sum of the proportions = 5 + 6 + 7 = 18 Now, 18 ÷440 ভাগফল = 24, ভাগশেষ = 8 Largest distributed number of mangoes = 440 - 8 = 432
The average of 7 numbers of 40. If 3 more numbers, with an average of 21, are added to these numbers, what will be the average of the combined 10 number?
Correct Answer:
D: 34.3
Explanation:
The average of 7 numbers of 40. If 3 more numbers, with an average of 21, are added to these numbers, what will be the average of the combined 10 number? Correct Answer 34.3 The average of 7 numbers of 40. If 3 more numbers, with an average of 21, are added to these numbers, what will be the average of the combined 10 number? Total of 7 numbers = 7 x 40 = 280 Total of 3 numbers = 3 x 21 = 63 Total of (7 + 3 = 10) numbers = 280 + 63 = 343 So, average = 343 / 10 = 34.3
A's office is 4 km due east of B's office . C's office is 6 km due north of B's office and 4 km due east of D's office. What is the straight-line distance, in km, from A's office to D's?
Correct Answer:
D: 10
Explanation:
A's office is 4 km due east of B's office . C's office is 6 km due north of B's office and 4 km due east of D's office. What is the straight-line distance, in km, from A's office to D's? Correct Answer 10 To find the straight-line distance from A's office to D's office, we need to find the distance between points A and D on a coordinate plane.Let's assume that A is located at the origin (0, 0) of the coordinate plane. Then B's office is located at point (4, 0), C's office is located at point (4, 6), and D's office is located at point (8, 6).Using the distance formula, we can find the distance between A and D:distance = sqrt[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]where (x1, y1) are the coordinates of A and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of D.Substituting the values, we get:distance = sqrt[(8 - 0)^2 + (6 - 0)^2] = sqrt[64 + 36] = sqrt[100] = 10Therefore, the straight-line distance from A's office to D's office is 10 km.
