36. In boys many ways can a group of 5 men and 2 women be made out of a total of 7 men and 3 women?

a. 45

b. 90

c. 63

d. 126

Explain: required number of ways=7C2×3C2

= (7×6) / (2 ×3)

=63 ways

[To find the number of ways to choose a group of 5 men and 2 women from a total of 7 men and 3 women, you can use combinations.

The number of ways to choose 5 men out of 7 is given by (57​), and the number of ways to choose 2 women out of 3 is given by (23​).

So, the total number of ways to choose the group is the product of these two combinations: (57​)×(23​)

Using the formula for combinations, where (rn​)=r! (n−r)! n!​, we can calculate:

(57​) =5! (7−5)!7!​=5!2!7!​=2×17×6​=21

(23​) =2! (3−2)!3!​=2!1!3!​=23​=3

So, the total number of ways is: 21×3=63

Therefore, there are 63 ways to form a group consisting of 5 men and 2 women from a total of 7 men and 3 women]

37. In a box, there are 8 red, 7 blue and 6 green balls. One ball is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither blue nor green?

a. 2/3

b. 3/4

c. 7/19

d. 8/21

Explain: Total number of balls = (8 + 7 + 6) = 21

Let E = event that the ball drawn in neither blue nor green

= even that the ball drawn in red.

∴n(E)=8

∴P(E)=n(E)/n(S)=8/21 (Ans)

38. The area of a square is three-fifths the area of a rectangle. the length of the rectangle is 25 cm and its breadth is 10 cm less than its length. What is the perimeter of the square?

a. 60cm

b. 44cm

c. 80cm

c. cannot be determined

39. In every 30 minutes the time of a watch increases by 3 minutes. After showing the correct time at 5 a.m. What time will the watch show after 6 hours?

a. 10:54 am

b. 11:30 am

c. 11:36am

d. 11:42am

Explain: We know that, 

In every 30 minutes the time of watch increased by 3 minutes = 12 × 3 = 36 minutes 

So, the time after 6 hours = 5 am + 6 hours + 30 minutes = 11: 36 am.

Therefore, required time will be 11: 36 am.

40. If x > 2 and x < 3 then which of the following is positive? 

(I) (x - 2) (x - 3), (II) (2 - x) (x - 3), (III) (2 - x) (3 - x)

a) I only

b) III only

c) I and II only

d) II only

Explain: So, x is between 2 and 3.
X is more than 2, so x – 2 will be positive. X is less than 3, so x – 3 will be negative.

(x – 2) (x – 3), then, is a positive time a negative, and is thus negative.
X is more than 2, so 2 – x will be negative. We already know that x – 3 is negative, so (2 – x) (x – 3) is a negative time a negative, and is thus definitely positive.
X is less than 3, so 3 – x will be positive. 2 – x is negative, so (2 – x) (3 – x) is a negative time a positive, which is negative.
We can see then, that only (2 – x) (x – 3) is positive.

41. A boy read 3/8 th of a book on one day and 4/5 th of the remainder on another day. If there were 30 pages unread, how many pages did the book contain?

a. 240

b. 300

c. 600

d. 800

Explain: let, total page=x

(3x/8) + {(4/5) (x-(3x/8))} +30=x

x=240.

42. The number 3 divides 'a' with a result of 'b' and a reminder of 2. The number 3 divides 'b' with a result of 2 and 'a' reminder of 1. What is the value of 'a'?

a. 13

b. 17

c. 23

d. 21

Explain: 3b+2=a     and (3×2) +1=b=7

so, a= (3×7) +2=23

43. The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 7 and 11. If the length of the third side is an integer, what is the least possible perimeter of the triangle?

a. 23

b. 18

c. 20

d .22

এখানে, ত্রিভুজটির তৃতীয় বাহু হবে দুটি বাহুর যোগফল অর্থাৎ 7 + 11 = 18 থেকে ছোট এমন যেকোনো সংখ্যা। আবার সংখ্যাটি এমন হবে যেন ত্রিভুজের যেকোনো বাহুর যোগফল তৃতীয় বাহু অপেক্ষা বৃহত্তর হয়।

যেমন, তৃতীয় বাহু 4 হতে পারে না।

কারণ 7 + 4 = 11 হয়, যা অন্য বাহুর সমান।

সুতরাং তৃতীয় বাহু সর্বনিম্ন 5 হতে পারে, কারণ 7 + 5>11

⸫ ত্রিভুজটির সর্বনিম্ন পরিসীমা = 7 + 5 + 11 = 23

44. The average length of the sides of ∆ABC is 12. What is the perimeter at ∆ABC?

a. 24

b. 36

c. 12

d. 18

Explain: Here,

The length of the three sides of ∆ABC is: AB, BC and AC

By the condition, 

(AB+BC+AC)/3=12

Or, AB+BC+AC = 12 × 3

Or, AB+BC+AC = 36

And, AB+BC+AC = The Perimeter of ∆ABC

So, The Perimeter of ∆ABC = 36

45. Which number replaces the question mark?

a. 6

b. 9

c. 8

d. 12

a. 198

b. 176

c. 156

d. 144

Explain: Given yx​+xy​=6, let's find a common denominator to simplify:

xyx2+y2​=6

Multiplying both sides by xy:

x2+y2=6xy

Now, we are asked to find y3/x3​+x3/y3​. We can use the identity (a+b)3=a3+b3+3ab(a+b)

to expand:

(yx​+xy​)3=(y3x3​+x3y3​)+3(yx​+xy​)

Given yx​+xy​=6, we can substitute:

63=(y3x3​+x3y3​)+3×6

216=y3x3​+x3y3​+18

y3x3​+x3y3​=216−18

y3x3​+x3y3​=198

So, the value of y3x3​+x3y3​ is 198.

47. What percentage of numbers from 1 to 70 have squares that end in the digit 1?

a. 14

b. 12

c. 20

d. 21

Explain: The numbers from 1 to 70 that have their squares ending in digit 1 are 1, 9, 11, 19, 21, 29, 31, 39, 41, 49, 51, 59, 61, 69 i.e. 14 in numbers

∴ Required percentage = (14/70) ×100=20%

48. Average of ten positive numbers is x. If each number increases by 10%, then x-

a. remains unchanged

b. may increase or decrease

c. will increase

d. is increased by 10%

49. There are 23 poles with a constant distance between each pole. A car takes 24 seconds to reach the 12th pole. How much more time will it take to reach the last pole?

a. 40 seconds

b. 44 seconds

c. 48 seconds

d. 46 seconds

Explain: There is error in the question or the options. If the options are right then the last line of the question will be How much more time will it take to reach the last pole?

If the pole 1 is the start point of car then,car is

At 0 zero seconds = in pole 1

At 24th seconds = in pole 12

So it has covered distance of 11 poles in 24 seconds.

So, time taken to cover distance between 2 poles is 2.18 seconds (24/11)

And hence the car would reach 23th pole in 48 seconds (2.18*22)

50.Find out the wrong number in the series: 190, 166, 145, 128, 112, 100,91

a. 100

b. 128

c. 145

d. 112

Explain: Go on subtracting 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9 from the numbers to get the next number. 190 – 24 = 166 166 – 21 = 145 145 – 18 = 127 [Here, 128 is placed instead of 127] 127 – 15 = 112 112 – 12 = 100 ... and so on. Therefore, 128 is wrong.

51. If the nth terms of an arithmetic progression are 4n+1, then the common difference is-

a. 4

b. 3

c. 5

d. 6

Explain: First term: 4(1)+1=5

Second term: 4(2)+1=9

Common difference: 9−5=4

52. A boat goes 13km upstream in 39 minutes. The speed of stream is 3km/hr. The speed of boat in still water is-

a. 27km/hr

b. 25km/hr

c. 20km/hr

d. 23km/hr

Explain: Let speed of the boat is u kmph

Speed of the stream is v = 3 kmph

Time taken t = 39 min = 39/60 hour

Distance s = 13 km

We have

u - v = s/t

u - v = 13/(39/60) = (13×60)/39 = 20

= > u - 3 = 20

= > u = 20 + 3 = 23

Ans 23 kmph

53. In a 500m race, the ratio of speeds of two contestants A and B is 3: 4. A has a start of 140m. Then A wins by-

a. 60m

b. 40m

c. 20m

d. 10m

Explain: To reach the winning post A will have to cover a distance of (500−140)m=360m.

As the ratio of speeds is 3:4

A covers 3m, B covers 4m.

While A covers 360m, B covers 43×360=480m.

Thus, when A reaches the winning post, B covers 480m and therefore remains (500−480)m behind.

∴A wins by 20m.

54. A person buys certain number of marbles at 20 per taka and an equal number at 30 per taka. He mixes them and sells them at 25 per taka. His gain or loss in the transaction is-

a. 2% loss

b. 4% loss

c. 2% gain

d. 4% gain

Explain: cost of each marble at 20 per taka = 1/20

cost of each marble at 30 per taka = 1/30

average cost of marble = (1/20+1/30)/2 = 1/24

selling price of mixed marble = 1/25

loss percentage = {(1/24-1/25)/1/24}100 = 4%
