An athlete running at 24 km /hr crosses a square field diagonally in 3 minutes. what is the area of the field?
Correct Answer:
D: 720,000m2
Explanation:
An athlete running at 24 km /hr crosses a square field diagonally in 3 minutes. what is the area of the field? Correct Answer 720,000m2 Speed = 24 km/hr Time = 3 min = 3/60 hr = 1/20 hr Diagonal length of the field = 24 x 1/20 = 1.2 km = 1200 m Side of the square field = 1200/√2 = 848.53 m [Diagonal of square = √2 x side length] So, area of the field = 848.532 m2 ≈ 720000 m2

A jar contains 10 red marbles and 30 green marbles . How many red marbles must be added to the jar so that 60% of the marbles will be red ?
Correct Answer:
B: 35
Explanation:
A jar contains 10 red marbles and 30 green marbles . How many red marbles must be added to the jar so that 60% of the marbles will be red ?

If the co-ordinates of A and B are (4, 1) and (-2, 7) respectively, then the co-ordinates of the midpoint of AB are.
Correct Answer:
A: (1, 4)
Explanation:
If the co-ordinates of A and B are (4, 1) and (-2, 7) respectively, then the co-ordinates of the midpoint of AB are. Correct Answer (1, 4) Let the midpoint coordinate of AB be (x, y). Now, x = (x1 + x2)/2 = (4 + ( - 2))/2 = 2/2 = 1 And, y = (y1 + y2)/2 = (1 + 7)/2 = 8/2 = 4 So, the coordinate (x, y) = (1, 4).

A man deposits Tk 600 in a Bank at 10% interest rate compounded annually, At the end of the second year, the total amount including interest will become Tk-
Correct Answer:
D: 726
Explanation:
A man deposits Tk 600 in a Bank at 10% interest rate compounded annually, At the end of the second year, the total amount including interest will become Tk- Correct Answer 726 C = P(1 + r/n)nt [C = principal with interest, r = rate of interest, n = number of times interest is compounded per time period, t = number of time periods] Now, P = 600, r = 10/100 = 0.1, n = 1, t = 2 So, C = 600 x (1 + 0.1)2 = 600 x 1.12 = 600 x 1.21 = 726 TK

Jesmin spent one-third of her money on books and half of the remaining money on clothing. She then spent three-fourths of what she had left on food. She had Tk. 500 left over. How much money did she start with? Correct Answer Tk. 6,000 Money spent on books = 1/3 Money spent on clothing = 1/2 x (1 - 1/3) = 1/2 x 2/3 = 1/3 Money spent on food = 3/4 x {1 - (1/3 + 1/3)} = 3/4 x (1 - 2/3) = 3/4 x 1/3 = 1/4 Fraction of money left over = 1 - (1/3 + 1/3 + 1/4) = 1 - (4 + 4 + 3)/12 = 1 - 11/12 = 1/12 Now, 1/12 th of the money = 500 So, total money she started with = 500 x 12 = 6000 TK
