The length of a rectangle is increased by 50%, by what percent would the width have to be decreased to maintain sane 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 sane 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:
D: 140
Explanation:
Tina rented a rickshaw for Tk. 18 plus Tk. 0.10 per km. ruby rented another rickshaw for Tk. 25 plus Tk. 0.05 per km. If each move d km. and paid exactly the same amount of rental, the d equals. Correct Answer 140 প্রথম Rickshaw এর ক্ষেত্রে মোট ভাড়া = 18 + ( d × 0.10) = 18 + 0.10d টাকা দ্বিতীয় Rickshaw এর ক্ষেত্রে মোট ভাড়া = 25 + ( d × 0.05) = 25 + 0.5d টাকা প্রশ্নমতে, 18 + 0.10d = 25 + 0.05d 0.05d = 7 d = 7/0.05 = 7/(5/100) = (7×100)/5 = 140 কিমি

A line segment is drawn from point (8, -2) to point (4, 6). The coordinates of the midpoint of this line segment are ---
Correct Answer:
D: (6, 2)
Explanation:
A line segment is drawn from point (8, -2) to point (4, 6). The coordinates of the midpoint of this line segment are --- Correct Answer (6, 2) Coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment made by joining two points are the averages of the respective coordinates of the two points. So, coordinate of the midpoint is {(8 + 4)/2 , ( - 2 + 6)/2} = (6,2)

How many spokes are there in a wheel of a car, if any two spokes form an angle if 15 degree?
Correct Answer:
D: 24
Explanation:
How many spokes are there in a wheel of a car, if any two spokes form an angle if 15 degree? Correct Answer 24 All the spokes will form a total angle of 360°. Two consecutive spokes form an angle of 15° but every spoke takes part in forming two such angles. So, the number of spokes will be equal to the number of 15° angles formed. So, the number of spokes will be = 360/15 = 24
To avoid paying a toll on a direct road, I drive west 10 miles, south 5 miles, west 30 miles and north 35 miles. What is the length of the toll road?
Correct Answer:
C: 50
Explanation:
To avoid paying a toll on a direct road, I drive west 10 miles, south 5 miles, west 30 miles and north 35 miles. What is the length of the toll road? Correct Answer 50 I drive west 10 miles, south 5 miles, west 30 miles, and north 35 miles = west 40 miles, north 30 so we get, (30)² + (40)² = n² or,900 + 1600 = n² or,2500 = n² ∴n = 50 or - 50 Throwing out the negative answer, we get the distance to be 50 miles ans: 50 miles

The average of 50 numbers is 38. If two numbers namely 45 and 55 are discarded, the average of the remaining number is :
Correct Answer:
C: 37.50
Explanation:
The average of 50 numbers is 38. If two numbers namely 45 and 55 are discarded, the average of the remaining number is : Correct Answer 37.50 Average for 50 number is 38. The total is = 38×50 = 1900 The total of discarded number is = 45 + 55 = 100 Hence the total for 48 number is = 1900 - 100 = 1800 So, The new average is = 1800÷48 = 37.5 ans: 37.5
A cricketer has a certain average for 9 innings. In the 10th innings he scores 100 runs, thus increasing his average by 8 runs. His new average is :
Correct Answer:
C: 28
Explanation:
A cricketer has a certain average for 9 innings. In the 10th innings he scores 100 runs, thus increasing his average by 8 runs. His new average is : Correct Answer 28 Let, initial average = x So, total runs = 9x And total runs scored in 10 innings = 9x + 100 So, new average = (9x + 100)/10 Since average increase by 8 ATQ, x + 8 = (9x + 100)/10 10x + 80 = 9x + 100 x = 20 New average 20 + 8 = 28 (Ans)
Masud has twice as much money as Selim has and Selim has 50% more money than what Bashir has. If the average money with them is Tk. 110, then Masud has :
Correct Answer:

The sum of 5 consecutive integers is 105. The sum of the first 2 is -----
Correct Answer:
A: 39
Explanation:
The sum of 5 consecutive integers is 105. The sum of the first 2 is ----- Correct Answer 39 x + (x - 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) + (x + 4) = 1055x + 10 = 1055x = 95x = 19x + (x - 1)19 + 20 = 39
If 5x + 2y = 10 and x + 8y = 46, then 3x + 5y equals :
Correct Answer:
B: 28
Explanation:
If 5x + 2y = 10 and x + 8y = 46, then 3x + 5y equals : Correct Answer 28 Given 5x + 2y = 10 and x + 8y = 46 By solving we get x = - 6/19 and y = 110/19 Now 3x + 5y = 3( - 6/19) + 5(110/19) = - 18/19 + 550/19 = 532/19 = 28 (ans)

Correct Answer:
C: 28
Explanation:
An overnight express firm charges Tk. 2 per kg for the first 10 kg of packet weight and Tk. 1 for each kg of or fraction of kg over 10 kg of packet weight. How much will it charge to ship a package which weighs 17.5 kg? Correct Answer 28 10 × 2 = 20 tk 7.5 × 1 = 7. 5 = 8 tk [ Because fraction kgs will also charge 1 tk] Total cost = 20 + 8 = 28 tk (ans)
If the side of a square decreases by 30%, then the area of the square decreases by :
Correct Answer:
D: 51%
Explanation:
If the side of a square decreases by 30%, then the area of the square decreases by : Correct Answer 51% Suppose the of the square = a The area of the square = a2 Now the sides are reduced by 30% . So its new side = 7a/10 New area = 49a2/100 So by reducing the diagonals of the square by 30%, the area becomes (a2 49a2/100)*100/a2 = 51% of the original. (ans)

When tossed, a certain coin has equal probability of landing on either side. If the coin is tossed 3 times, what is the probability that it will land on the same side each time?
Correct Answer:
C: 1/3
Explanation:
When tossed, a certain coin has equal probability of landing on either side. If the coin is tossed 3 times, what is the probability that it will land on the same side each time? Correct Answer 1/3 We need to determine the probability that a coin lands on the same side for all 3 tosses of the coin. This means that the 3 - toss outcome will be either H - H - H or T - T - T. P(T - T - T) = 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8 P(H - H - H) = 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8 Thus, the probability that the coin lands on the same side each time is 1/8 + 1/8 = 2/8 = 1/4. (ans)
At a selling price of Tk. 275 a book yield 25% profit. What selling price will yield the profit of 10%?
Correct Answer:
B: 242
Explanation:
At a selling price of Tk. 275 a book yield 25% profit. What selling price will yield the profit of 10%? Correct Answer 242 Let the actual price be A. Then, A + 25% of A = 275 or, A + 0.25A = 275 or, 1.25A = 275 or, A = 275/1.25 = 220 TK. So, selling price at 10% profit = 220 + 10% of 220 = 220 + 22 = 242 TK
