3 men + 7 women complete in 1 day = 1/10 part (2)
From, (1)×3 (2) ×4
12men + 18 women complete in 1 day = 3/8 part -(1-
12 men + 28 women complete in 1 day = 4/10 part (2)
-10 women complete in 1 day = 3/8 4/10 = -1/40
So, 10 women complete in 1 day = 3/8 4/10 = 1/40 part
So, they complete the work in 40 days

(C) 365m
(D) 312m
Solution:
Let,
Length of bridge = x m
ATQ,
63000/(60×80) = (170x+x)/30
Or, x+170 = 105 × 5
Or, x =525- 170
Or, x = 355
37. A water tank has two taps (Tap-1 and Tap 2). Tap-1 can fill a tank in 8 hours and Tap-2 can empty the tank in 16 hours. How long
will they fill the tank if both taps are opened simultaneously but Tap-2 is closed after 8 hours?
(A) 10
(B) 12
(C) 14
(D) 16
Solution:
Tap-1, fills in 1 hr = 1/8
Tap-2, empties in 1 hr = 1/16
When both taps are open, the tank fills in 1 hr = (1/8 1/16) = 1/16
In 8 hrs, the tank fills = 1/16 × ½
Remaining = 1 ½=½
½ is filled by only Tap 1
1/8 is filled by Tap-1 in 1 hr
So, ½ is filled by = (1×8)/2= 4 hr
Total time = 8+4 = 12 hr

have equal debts?
(A) (50/3)×yr
(B) (83/3)×yr
(C) (44/3)×vr
(D) (20/3)×yr
Solution:
Let,
After x years their debts will be equal.
ATQ,
{800 × (6 × x)/ 100}+800 = {600 × (10 × x)/ 100}+600
⇒ 48x + 800 = 60x + 600
⇒ 60x 48x = 800 600
⇒12x = 200
⇒ x = 50/3

Or, x= 270
42. The product of two positive numbers is p. If each of the number is increased by 2, the new product is how much greater than twice
the sum of the two original number?
(A) p times
(B) 2p times
(B) (p + 4) times
(D) (2p + 3) times
Solution:
Let,
One number is = x; other = y
xy = P (i)
(x + 2) (y + 2) = xy + 2y + 2x + y
xy + 2 (x + y) + 4 = xy + 4 + 2(x + y)
= P + 4 + 2(x + y)
The new result is (P+4) greater.

A manufacturer sells three products i.e. A, B and C. Product A costs 200 and sells for 250, Product B costs 150 and sells for 180,
Product C costs 100 and sells for 110. On which product, he has maximum percentage of profit?
(A) B Only .
(B) A and B both
(C) A Only
(D) C Only
Answer: A Only
Solution:
Profit from A = 250-200=50tk
Percentage = (50×100)/200=25%
Profit from B= 180-150=30tk
Percentage = (30×100)/150= 20%
Profit from C= 110-100=10tk
Percentage= (10×100)/100=10%
he areas
of the three plots increased?
(A) 125%
(B) 150%
(C) 200%
(D) 375%
Answer: 125%
Solution:
Let, the length of each side of the garden = 100
Area = 1002 = 10000
Area of 3 square = 3×10000 = 30000
50% increase of length = 100+100×50/100 = 150
Area = 1502 = 22500
Area of 3 square = 3×22500 = 67500
Increasing area = 67500-30000 =37500
Percentage = (37500×100)/30000=125%

How many gallons of octane are needed to travel 200 km if half the distance is traveled at 50 km/h and the rest at 60 km/h?
(A) 15
(B) 16.67
(C) 10.60
(D) 14
Solution:
At 50km/h
15 km needs 1 gallon
So, 100 km needs 100/15 gallon
At 60km/h,
It goes 80% far = 80% of 15 = 12 km
12 km needs 1 gallon
So, 100 km needs 100/12 gallon
So, (100+100) = 200 km needs
= (100/15 + 100/12) gallon
= (400+500)/60 gallon
= 900/60 gallon
= 15 gallon

they work together?
(A) 12 min
(B) more than 15 min
(C) 15 min
(D) 14 min
Solution:
In 1 minute, Sam mows 1/20 of the lawn
In 1 minute, Mark mows 1/(20+10) = 1/30 of the lawn
(1/20 + 1/30) = 5/60=1/12 of the lawn takes 1 minute
So, whole(1) lawn takes 12 minutes
31. If two planes leave the same airport at 1:00 pm, how many km apart will they be at 3:00 pm, if one travels directly north at 150
km/h and the other travels directly west at 200 km/h?
(A) 50km
(B) 500km
(C) 400km
(D) 600km
Solution:
Difference of time = 3:00 pm 1:00 pm = 2 hrs
First plane travels in 2 hrs = 2×150=300 km
Second plane travels in 2 hrs = 2×200=400 km
The directions of the planes forms a right angle triangle
So, the direct distance = √(3002 + 4002) = √250000=500 km
32. If an inspector rejects 0.08% of a product as defective, how many units of the product will he examined in order to reject 2?
(A) 500
(B) 1500
(C) 2000

of the square by?
(A) 62%
(B) 42%
(C) 82%
(D) None
Solution:
Let, length is = x so, area is = x2
40% increase in length = x+2x/5 =7x/5
30% increase in breadth = x+3x/10 =13x/10
Area = (7x/5)×( 13x/10) = 91×2/50
Increasing area = (91×2/50)- x2 = 41×2/50
Percentage = {(41×2/50) x2}×100 = (41/50)×100 = 82%

the smaller wheel makes x revolutions per second, how many revolutions per minutes does the larger wheel make in terms of x?
(A) 12x
(B) 24x
(C) 36x
(D) 48x
Solution:
For smaller wheel,
Circumference = 2×π×28/2 = 28π
Revolve in 1 second = x times
Revolve in 60 seconds = 60x times
So, distance = 28π×60x
For larger wheel,
Circumference = 2×π×35/2 = 35π
Let,
Revolve per minute = n
So, distance = 35πn
Now,
28π×60x = 35πn
Or, n=(28π × 60x)/35π
Or, n= 48x

(B) 32
(C) 36
(D) 38
Solution:
Let,
Numbers are n, n+1, n+2
ATQ,
n+n+1+n+2 =27
Or, 3n+3=27
Or, 3n=24
Or, n=8
So, the numbers are-8,9,10
Now, the last 3 consecutive numbers are 11,12,13
Sum of them 11+12+13 =36
40. he areas
of the three plots increased?
(A) 125%
(B) 150%
(C) 200%
(D) 375%
Solution:
Let, the length of each side of the garden = 100
Area = 1002 = 10000
Area of 3 square = 3×10000 = 30000
50% increase of length = 100+100×50/100 = 150
Area = 1502 = 22500
Area of 3 square = 3×22500 = 67500
Increasing area = 67500-30000 =37500
Percentage = (37500×100)/30000=125%

Questions (35-60): Choose the correct answer
35. Karim has 40% more stamps than Rahim if he gives 45 of his stumps to Rahim, then Rahim will have 10% more stamps than Karim.
How many stamps did Karim begin with?
(A) 175
(B) 200
(C) 220
(D) 245
Solution:
Let,
Rahim has = x stamps
So Karim has = 140% of x = 1.4x
ATQ,
110% of (1.4x-45) = x+45
Or, {11(1.4x 45)/10} = x + 45
or, 15.4x-495 = 10x+450
or, 5.4x = 945
Or, x= 175
So, Karim has 175+ 40% of 175 = 175+70 = 245
36. P & Q start a business with initial investments in the ratio of 13:8. Their corresponding profits are in the ratio of 7:5. If P invested

(B) 9 months
(C) 10 months
(D) 11 months
Solution:
Let,
Q invested for x months
ATQ,
(13×7) : (8×x) = 7:5
Or, 91/8x = 7/5
Or, 8x = 91×5/7
Or, x = 65/8=8.125 =8
37. Compound interest on a certain sum for 2 years at 10% per annum is Tk.420. What would be the simple interest at the same rate
and for the same time?
(A) Tk100
(B) Tk.200
(C) Tk.300
(D) Tk.400
Solution:
Let,
Principal =P
ATQ,
P × (|1+ 10/100)2 P = 420
Or, P(11/10)2 P = 420
Or, P(1.1)2 P = 420
Or, 1.21P P = 420
Or, P(1.21 1) = 420
Or, 0.21P = 420
Or, P = 2000
Simple interest = 2000 × 2 × 10/100 = 400

At what speed must he cycles to go there at noon?
(A) 11 km/hr
(B) 12 km/hr
(C) 13 km/hr
(D) 14 km/hr
Solution:
Let,
distance = x
Time difference(Same Day) = 1 PM. 11 AM. = 2 hours.
ATQ,
x/10 x/15 = 2
Or, x/30 = 2
Or, x = 60
30
.:.x = 60
When speed is 10km/hr then time taken = 60 ÷10 = 6 hours.
So, at 10km/hr, his starting time was = 1PM. 6 hours = 7 AM(Same Day)
So, to reach at noon or 12 P.M, total time needed = 12 P.M. 7 A.M = 5hours.
Thus, speed = 60 ÷ 5 = 12km/hr.

(B) 15 min
(C) 20 min
(D) 25 min
Solution:
In 1 min both taps fill = 1/20 + 1/60 = 4/60 = 1/15
So, in 10 minutes taps fill = 10 × 1/15 = 2/3
Remaining part = 1 2/3 = 1/3
After shutting off 1st tap,
2nd tap fills 1/3 part in 60 × 1/3 minutes = 20 minutes

(B) Tk. 300
(C) Tk. 3200
(D) Tk. 3500
Solution:
Let, income of A and B = 7x and 5x
And expenditure = 3y and 2y respectively
ATQ,
7x-3y = 500 (i)
5x-2y = 500 (ii)
From (ii) × 3 (i) × 2,
15x 6y -14x + 6y = 1500 1000
Or, x = 500
So, income of A = 7×500 =Tk. 3500

=1600{1+ 5/(2×100)}2 + 1600{1+ 5/(2×100)}
= 1600(1+1/40)2 +1600(1+1/40)
= 1600 × 41/40 × 41/40 + 1600 × 41/40
= 1600 × 41/40 (41/40 + 1)
= 1600 × 41/40 × 81/40 =3321
Gain = 3321 (1600+1600) = 121

(A) Tk. 5000
(B) Tk 4000
(C) Tk 3000
(D) Tk. 1000
Solution:
Total Profit = x
So,
A received = x/3
B received = x/4
ATQ,
x x/3 x/4 = 5000
Or, (12x 4x 3x)/12 = 5000
Or, 5x/12 = 5000
Or, x = 12000
A received = 12000/3 = 4000
46. The average age of a group of 15 employees is 24 years. If 5 more employees join the group, the average age increases by 2 years.
Find the average age of the new employees.
(A) 35
(B) 30
(C) 24
(D) 32
Solution:
Total age of 15 employees = 15×24 = 360
After 5 more employees joining the group, the average age increases by 2 years.
That means, total age =(20×26) = 520
Total age of 5 employees =(520 360) = 160
So, average = 160/5 = 32
47. By selling 32 guavas for tk. 30 at the rate of Tk. 1.066 per guava a man loss 25%. How many guavas should be sold for Tk. 18 to
gain 20% of profit in the transaction?
(A) 24
(B) 12
(C) 18
(D) 36
Solution:
At 25% loss,
cost price of 32 guavas= 30×100/75 = 40 tk
at 20% profit,
selling price of 32 guavas=40×120/100=48 tk
So,
48 tk is the selling price of 32 guava
1 =32/48
18 =(32×18)/48=12 guavas
48. A sold a watch to B at a gain of 20% and B sold it to C at a loss of 10%. If C bought the watch for Tk.216, at what price did A
purchase it?
(A) Tk. 200
(B) TK. 216
(C) TK. 250
(D) Tk. 176
Solution:
At 10% loss,

Cost price to A = (240×100)/120 = 200 tk
49. A square is inscribed in a circle of diameter 2a and another square is circumscribing circle. The difference between the areas of
outer and inner squares is
(A) a2
(B) 2a2
(C) 3a2
(D) 4a2
Exp:
ATQ,
Diagonal of inner square = 2a
So, one hand of the inner square = 2a/√2 = √2a
So, area of the inner square = (√2a)2 = 2a2
Again,
One hand of the outer square = 2a
So, area of the outer square = (2a)2 = 4a2
So, difference = 4a2 2a2 = 2a2
50. The average of the three numbers x, y and z is 45. X is greater than the average of y and 2 by 9. The average of y and z by 9. The
average of y and z is greater than y by 2. Then the difference of x and z is
(A) 3
(B) 5
(C) 7
(D) 11
Solution:
Sum of x,y and z = 45×3
So, ∴x+y+z =135 (i)
Again,
X = (y+z)/2 +9
Or, 2x = y+z+18 -(2)
Again,
(y+z)/2 = y+2
Or, 2y+4 = y+z
Or, y = z-4
From (2),
2x = z-4+z+18
Or, 2x 2z = 14
Or, x-z = 7

Speed in downstream = 10+3 = 13km/hr
So, time taken to travel 52km downstream =52/13= 4hrs
52. Rahima can row 16 km/hr in still water. It takes her thrice as long to row up as to row down the river. Find the difference between
her speed in still water and that of the stream.
(A) 8 km/hr
(B) 16 km/hr
(C) 24 km/hr
(D) 12 km/hr
Solution:
Let, the speed of Stream = x,
so, downstream speed = 16+x and upstream speed = 16-x
ATQ,
16+x = 3(16-x)
Or, 16+x = 48 -3x
Or, 4x = 32
Or, x =8
So speed of stream = 8 and
difference of speed of still water & stream = 16 8 = 8km/hr
53. A train leaves a station A at 7 am and reaches another station B at 11:00 am. Another train leaves B at 8 am and reaches A at
11:30 am. The two ruins cross one another at
(A) 8:36 am
(B) 8:56 am
(C) 9.00 am
(D) 9:24 am
Solution:
Let, distance between A and B = x mile
So, Speed of first train = x/4 km/hr
Speed of second train = x/3.5 km/hr
Let after y hrs, two train will meet.
So,
x/4 ×(y+1) + x×y/3.5 = x
Or, (y+1)/4 = y/3.5 = 1
Or, (3.5y + 3.5 + 4y)/14 = 1
Or, 7.5y + 3.5 = 14
Or, 7.5y = 10.5
Or, y = 7/5 = 1 hr 24 min
So, the train will meet = 8+1hr 24 min = 9:24 Am
54. A train 150 m long crosses a milestone in 15 seconds and crosses another train of the same length travelling in the opposite
direction in 12 seconds. The speed of the second train in km/hr is-
(A) 52 km/hr
(B) 56 km/hr
(C) 54 km/hr
(D) 58 km/hr
Solution:
Speed of 1st train=150/15=10 m/s
Relative speed of two train = (150+150)/12 = 25 m/s
So speed of 2nd train = 25-10=15 m/s = 15×(18/5)=54 kmh
55. There are 2 numbers in the ratio of 4:5. If 4 is subtracted from both numbers the ratio becomes 3:4. What will be the ratio if 4 is
added in the both numbers?
(A) 1:2
(B) 2:3
(C) 5:6
(D) 1:4
Solution:
Let the numbers are 4x and 5x
ATQ,
(4x-4)/(5x-4) = ¾
Or, 16x 16 = 15x 12
Or, 16x 15x = 4
Or, x = 4
So, Required ratio = (16+4) : (20+4) = 20:24 = 5:6

Questions (41-60): Read the following questions carefully and choose the right answer.
41. If the numerator of fraction is increased by 200% and the denominator is increased by 350%. The resultant fraction is 5/12. What
was the original fraction?
(A) 5/7
(B) 5/8
(C) 7/32
(D) 11/82
Solution:
Let numerator of the fraction is X and denominator is Y, then fraction will be X/Y.
Numerator increased 200%, so new numerator would be,
[X + (200 of X)/100] = 3X ----------------------------- (1)
New denominator,
[Y + (350Y)/100 ] = 45Y/10 --------------------------------- (2)
Now, accordibng to question,
3X /(45Y/10) = 5/12
30X / 45Y = 5/12
360X = 225Y
X/Y = 225/360
X/Y = 5/8
So, Original fraction was 5/8.
42. In a mixture, the ratio of the milk and water is 6: 5. When 22 liter mixture is replaced by water, the ratio becomes 9:13. Find the
quantity of water after replacement.
(A) 62 liter
(B) 50 liter
(C) 40 liter
(D) 52 liter
Solution:
Let milk = 6x, water = 5x
According to the question,
6x-22 × 6/11 : 5x 22 × 5/11 + 22= 9 : 13
6x 12 : 5x 10 + 22 = 9 : 13
13 (6x 12) = 9 (5x + 12)
78x 156 = 45x + 108
78x 45x = 156 + 108
33x = 264
x=8
Water after replacement = 5 × 8 10 + 22 = 40 + 22 = 52 litre
43. A man covers a total distance of 100 km on bicycle. For the first 2 hours, the speed was 20 km/hr and for the rest of the journey, it
came down to 10 km/hr. The average speed will be
(A) 12.5 km/hr
(B) 13 km/hr
(C) 14.5 Km/hr
(D) 20 Km/hr
Solution:
Distance covered in 1st 2 hr.
= 2×20 = 40 km
Time taken to cover 60 km
distance =60/10=6 hr.
Average speed=Total distance/Total time
=100/(2+6)=100/8=12.5 km/hr
44. A man can reach a certain place in 40 hours. If he reduces his speed by 1/15th, he goes 5 km less in that time. Find the total
distance covered by him.
(A) 60 km
(B) 85 km
(C) 52 km
(D) 75 km
Solution:
Let the speed be x km / hr. Then,
40x - 40 × 14x/15 = 5
x/15 =1/8
x=15/8
So distance covered = 40 × 15/8 = 75km
45. A shopkeeper gains 17% after allowing a discount of 10% on the marked price of an article. Find his profit percent if the article is
sold at marked price allowing no discount.
(A) 30%
(B) 37%
(C) 23%
(D) 27%
Solution:
Let the cost price = 100tk
Therefore, Selling price = 100×117/100=117tk
Therefore, Marked price = 117×100/90=130
Therefore, Profit Percentage = [(130−100)/100]×100=30%
46. Alam sold two vehicles for Tk 46000 each. If he gained 10% on the first and lost 10% on another, then what is his percentage profit
or loss in this transaction?
(A) 2% loss
(B) 1% profit
(C) 1% loss
(D) None of these
Solution:
Let the profit be X% and loss be Y% . So,
Net profit or loss% = X +(-Y) + X×(-Y)/100
(Negative sign denotes that their is a loss)
Their is 10% loss and 10% profit then
Net profit or loss% = 10+(-10)+10×(-10)/100 =10 10 100/100 = 0 1 = -1
( negative sign here shows that there is a net loss )
So the net loss percentage is 1% .
47. The profit earned after selling an article for Tk.3,362 is the same as the loss incurred after selling the article for Tk.2,346. At what
selling price will a trader make a 20% profit on this article?
(A) 4639.4
(B) 4769.6
(C) 4830.8
(D) None of these
Solution:
Here , Cost price = (3362-2346)/2 = 2854
So , Selling price at 20% profit = 2854*(6/5) = 3424.8 Rs (Ans.)
48. An article costs TK 500 and the marked price is mentioned as Tk.800. What is the profit % for the seller if he sells and offers a
discount of 10% on the marked price?
(A) 30%
(B) 44%
(C) 56%
(D) 64%
Solution:
CP = TK. 500
MP = TK. 800
Discount = 80 TK.
SP = (800 - 80) = 720 Tk.
Profit % = (720 -500)/500 × 100
= 220/500 × 100
= 44%
49. The average of the first and the second of three numbers is 15 more than the average of the second and the third of these
numbers. What is the difference between the first and the third of these three numbers?
(A) 15
(B) 45
(C) 60
(D) None of these
Solution:
x + z/2 = 15 + (y + z )/2
x + z = 30+(y + z )
x-y =30
50. 30 pens and 75 pencils altogether were purchased for Tk.510. If the average price of a pencil was Tk 2, what was the average price
of a pen?
(A) Tk. 9
(B) Tk. 10
(C) Tk.11
(D) Tk. 12
Solution:
According to question
30 pens + 75 pencils = TK. 510
Average price of a pencil = TK. 2
Price of 75 pencils = 2 × 75 = TK. 150
Price of 30 pens = 510 - 150 = TK. 360
Average price of pen = 360/30 = TK. 12
51. A boat travel with a speed of 10 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the stream is 3 km/hr then find time taken by boat to travel 52
km downstream.
(A) 2 hrs
(B) 4hrs
(C) 8hrs
(D) 9 hrs
Solution:
Downstream speed = 10 + 3 = 13 km/hr
So time needed = 52/13 = 4 hours
52. The ratio of the speed of boat in still water to the speed of stream is 16:5. A boat goes 16.5 km in 45 minute upstream, find the
time taken by boat to cover the distance of 17.5 km downstream.
(A) 30 minutes
(B) 25 minutes
(C) 50 minutes
(D) 45 minutes
Solution:
Let the speed of boat in still water = 16x, speed of stream =5x
Upstream speed = 16x 5x = 11x
S =D/t
11x = 16.5/45 × 60
x=2
speed of boat in still water = 32 km/h,
speed of stream = 10 km/h
Downstream speed = 32 + 10 = 42 km/h
Distance = 17.5 km
time = 17.5/42
= 5/12 hour
or , 5/12 × 60 = 25 minutes
53. A train passes a platform in 40 sec and a woman standing on the platform in 30 sec. If the speed of the train is 108 km/hr, what is
the length of the platform?
(A) 100 m
(B) 300 m
(C) 900 m
(D) 1020 m
Solution:
Let the length of train L and length of platform P
Speed of train 108 km/h =108 * 5/18 m/s =30 m/s
It passes woman on platform in 30 sec so
L=30×30=900m (distance =speed*time)
now when it crosses the platform effective distance becomes L+P
hence , L+P= 40×30 =1200 m
P = 1200-900 = 300
Lenth of platform =300 m
54. A train 125 m long passes a person, running at 8 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going in 25 seconds. The speed
of the train is:
(A) 22
(B) 36
(C) 30
(D) 26
Solution:
Speed of the train relative to man = 125/25 m/sec
=( 5 × 18/5 ) km/hr
=18 km/hr
Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 8) km/hr.
x - 8 = 18
x = 26 km/hr.
55. There are two numbers. 1st number is 12 more than the 2nd number. The average of the two numbers is 19. If 2 is added in both
numbers, find the ratio of the numbers.
(A) 5:9
(B) 11:9
(C) 4:9
(D) 9:5
Solution:
Sum of two numbers = 2×19 = 38
Let the 1st number = x
So, 2nd number = x-12
Atq,
X+x-12 =38
X= 25
Required ratio = (x+2)/(x-12+2) = 27 : 15 = 9 : 5
56. Sum of 4 consecutive even numbers is greater than three consecutive odd numbers by 81. If the sum of the least odd and even
numbers is 59 then find the sum of largest odd and even numbers
(A) 69
(B) 53
(C) 65
(D) 72
Solution:
4 consecutive even numbers are X + (X+2) + (X+4) + ( X+6) = 4X + 12
3 consecutive odd numbers are Y + (Y+2) + (Y+3) = 3Y + 6
ATq,
4X + 12 = 81 + 3Y + 6
4X - 3Y = 75
Again,
X + Y = 59
By solving the equations 4X - 3Y = 75 and X + Y = 59 we get X = 36
from X + Y = 59 we get Y = 23
so numbers are 36, 38, 40, 42 and 23, 25, 27
and the sum of largest odd and even numbers = 42 + 27 = 69
57. A number is as much greater than 36 as is less than 86. Find the number.
(A) 68
(B) 43
(C) 61
(D) 73
Solution:
Let the number = x
ATQ,
X 36 = 86 x
X= 61
58. X, Y and Z can do a piece of work in 6 hours. X and Y can do the work in 8 hours and Y and Z can do the same work in 12 hours.
In how many time will X and Z do the work?
(A) 6 hours
(B) 8 hours
(C) 10 hours
(D) 12 hours
Solution:
X+Y+Z 1 hours work = 1/6
X+Y 1 hours work = 1/8
Y+Z 1 hours work = 1/12
1/6 = 1/24
1/24 = 3/24
Hence X and Z will complete the work in = 24/3 = 8 hours
59. If A can do ¼ of a work in 3 days and B can do 1/6 of the same work in 4 days, how much will A get if both work together and are
paid Tk. 180 in all?
(A) Tk. 60
(B) Tk. 120
(C) Tk. 90
(D) Tk. 180
× 1/4 = 1/12
× 1/6 = 1/24
Ratio of work A : B = 1/12 : 1/24 = 2 : 1
So, A will get = 180 × 2/3 = Tk. 120
60. In a box, there are 10 apples and 2/5th of the apples are rotten. If three apples are taken out from the box, what will be the

38. In a club 50% of the male voters and 80% of the female voters voted for candidate A. If candida A received 70% of the total votes,
what is the ratio of male to female voters?
(A) 1/3
(B) 3/4
(C) 1/4
(D) ½
Solution:
Male voter = x
Female voter = y
50% of x + 80% of y = 70% of (x+y)
50x/100 + 80y/100 = 70(x+y)/100
50x + 80y = 70x + 70y
80y 70y= 70x 50x
10y = 20x
x/y = 10/20 = ½

44. Increasing the original price of an item by 10%, then decreasing by 20% and then again increasing the price by 10% is equivalent:
(A) 4.4% increase
(B) 3.2% decrease
(C) 3.5% decrease
(D) None of these
Solution:
Let,
Selling price = 100
After 10% increase = (100+10)=110
After 20% decrease = (110 20% of 110) = 88
After 10% increase = (88 + 10% of 88) = 96.8
Final decrease = (100-96.8)=3.2%
45. The sum of principal and simple interest of a certain amount of money would be Tk.460 after 3 years from now and Tk. 500 after 5
years from now. What is the total interest rate?
(A) 5%
(B) 12%
(C) 15%
(D) 20%
Solution:
(5 3) yr = 2 yrs interest = (500 460) = 40 tk
1 year interest = 40/2 = 20 tk.
3 year interest = (20 × 3) = 60 tk
Principal amount= (460 60) = 400 tk
Interest rate = 60/(400×3) = 0.05 = 5%

of the rectangle?
(A) 16cm
(B) 18 cm
(C) 20cm
(D) 22cm
Solution:
Let,
Length and breadth of the rectangle= x, y
So, area = xy
Perimeter = 2(x+y)
ATQ,
2(x+y)/y = 5
Or, 2x + 2y = 5y
Or, 2x = 3y
Or, y = 2x/3
Now,
xy = 216
Or, x × 2x/3 = 216
Or, 2x2 = 648
Or, x2 = 324
Or, x = 18

(A) Tk. 100
(B) Tk. 150
(C) Tk. 200
(D) Tk. 250
Solution:
At 5% profit, selling price = 100+5=105 tk.
At 5% loss, selling price = 100-5= 95 tk.
Difference between selling price = 105-95=10 tk.
If difference 10, then cost = 100tk
If difference 1, then cost = 100/10 tk
If difference 15, then cost = (100×15)/10 tk = 150tk.
48. If for integer x, 5<x<10 and y=x+5, what is the greatest possible value of x+y?

Solution:
Given,
5 < x < 10 and y =x+5
Possible value of x = 6, 7, 8, 9
When x =9,
y =9+5 = 14
Now,
x + y = 9 + 14 = 23
49. A water tank has two taps (Tap-1 and Tap-2). Tap-1 can fill a tank in 8 hours and Tap.2.can empty the tank in 16 hours. How long
will they take to fill the tank if both taps are opened simultaneously but Tap-2 is closed after 8 hours?
(A) 10 hours
(B) 12 hours
(C) 14 hours
(D) 16 hours
Solution:
Tap-1, fills in 1 hr = 1/8
Tap-2, empties in 1 hr = 1/16
When both taps are open, the tank fills in 1 hr = (1/8 1/16) = 1/16
In 8 hrs, the tank fills = 1/16 × ½
Remaining = 1 ½=½
½ is filled by only Tap 1
1/8 is filled by Tap-1 in 1 hr
So, ½ is filled by = (1×8)/2= 4 hr
Total time = 8+4 = 12 hr
50. The interest charged on a loan is p dollars per $1,000 for the first month and q dollars per $1000 for each month after the first

(A) 10p+20q
(B) 30q
(C) 30p
(D) 20p+10q
Solution:
Interest = 1st month + 2nd month + 3rd month
= p×(10000/1000) + q×(10000/1000) + q×(10000/1000)
=10p +10q + 10q
= 10p + 20q

51. A man takes 3 hours 45 minutes to row a boat 22.5 km downstream of a river and 2 hours 30 minutes to cover a distance of 10 km
upstream. Find hte speed of the river current in km/hr.
(A) 1 km/hr
(B) 2 km/hr
(C) 3 km/hr
(D) 4 km/hr
Solution:
Speed of the boat = x kmph, the river current = y kmph.
3H45M = (3+ 45/60) hr = 15/4 hr
2H30M = (2+ 30/60) hr = 5/2 hr.
According to the question:
x+y = 22.5/(15/4) = 6
x-y = 10/(5/2) = 4
2x = 2
x = 1 km/hr.
52. A man can row 6 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the current is 2 km/hr, it takes 3 hrs more in upstream than in the
downstream for the same distance. The distance is:
(A) 30 km
(B) 24 km
(C) 20 km
(D) 32
Solution:
D/(6-2) D/(6+2) = 3

53. A train 150 m long passes a pole in 15 seconds and crosses another train of the same length travelling in opposite direction in 8
seconds. The speed of the second train in (km/h) is:
(A) 60 km/hr
(B) 66 km/hr
(C) 72 km/hr
(D) 99 km/hr
Solution:
Speed of the first train = 150/15 = 10 mps.
speed of the second train = x mps.
According to the question
x+10 = (150+150)/8
x = 27.5 mps = 27.5 × 3600/1000 = 99 kmph.
54. The ratio of the speeds of a train and a man is 6:1. The length of the train is 650 m and crosses a pole in 1 minute 5 seconds. In
how much time will hte man cross 240m long platform?
(A) 1 minutes 24 sec
(B) 2minutes 30 sec
(C) 2minutes
(D) 2 minutes 24 sec
Solution:
Speed of the train = 650/65 = 10 mps.
Speed of the man = 10/6 = 5/3 mps.
Time for the man to cross the platform = 240/(5/3) = 144 seconds = 2 minutes 24 seconds.
55. If the numerator of a fraction is increased by 150% and the denominator of a fraction is increased by 200% fraction becomes 10/19.
Find the fraction.
(A) 12/17
(B) 10/16
(C) 12/19
(D) 9/11
Solution:
(x + 150% of x)/(y + 200% of y) = 10/19
2.5x/3y = 10/19
x/y = 10×3/19×2.5 = 12/19.
56. A number when divided by 627 leaves a remainder 43. By dividing the same number by 19, the remainder will be :
(A) 32
(B) 43
(C) 13
(D) 5
Solution:
627 is a multiple of 19. So, if a number divided by 627 leaves a remainder 43, then the same number divided by 19 will leave the same
remainder as 43 divided by 19 leaves.
43 = 19×2 + 5.
So, the remainder will be 5.
57. A can finish a work in 5 days and B takes 4 days to do the same work. If the work is increased by 8 times, how many days will it
take for both of them to finish the work if they work together?
(A) 10 days
(B) 15 days
(C) 20 days
(D) 25 days
Solution:
new work size = 1+8 = 9 works.
A & B can do in 1 day (working together) = 1/5 + 1/4 = 9/20
Required number of days = 9/(9/20) = 20 days.
58. A computer can perform 30 identical tasks in 6 hour. At that rate, what is the minimum number of computers that should be
assigned to complete 80 of the tasks within 3 hours?
(A) 12
(B) 7
(C) 6
(D) 16
Solution:
Number of computers = (80×6/30×3) = 5.33 = minimum 6 .
59. A and B together can complete a piece of work in 12 days, B and C can do it in 20 days and C and A can do it in 15 days. A, B and
C together can complete it in:
(A) 12 days
(B) 6 days
(C) 8 days
(D) 10 days
Solution:
A & B can do in 1 day = 1/12 work
B & C can do in 1 day = 1/20 work
C & A can do in 1 day = 1/15 work
2(A&B&C) can do in 1 day = 1/12 + 1/20 + 1/15 = 12/60 = 1/5 work.
A&B&C can do in 1 day = 1/(5×2) = 1/10 work.
Required number of days = 1/(1/10) = 10 days.
60. There are 15 boys and 10 girls in a class. If three students are selected at random, what is the probability that 1 girl and 2 boys are
selected?
(A) 1/40
(B) 1/2
(C) 21/46
(D) 7/41
Solution:
1 girl & 2 boys can be selected in = (10C1)×(15C2) ways = 10×105 ways = 1050 ways.
3 students can be selected from 25 students = 25C3 = 2300 ways
Required probability = 1050/2300 = 21/46.

or loss in this transaction?
(A) 2% loss
(B) 1% profit
(C) 1% loss
(D) None of these
Solution:
Let the profit be X% and loss be Y% . So,
Net profit or loss% = X +(-Y) + X×(-Y)/100
(Negative sign denotes that their is a loss)
Their is 10% loss and 10% profit then
Net profit or loss% = 10+(-10)+10×(-10)/100 =10 10 100/100 = 0 1 = -1
( negative sign here shows that there is a net loss )
So the net loss percentage is 1% .

34. 100 kg of solution A is mixed with 60 kg of solution B. If solution A has tin and Copper in the ratio 1: 4 and solution B has lead
and tin in the ratio 3:2, then what is the amount of tin in the new solution
(A) 70 kg
(B) 36 kg
(C) 44 kg
(D) 56 kg
Solution:
Tin in 100kg of A = ( 100 x 1/5) = 20kg.
Tin in 60kg of B = ( 60 x 2/5) = 24kg.
Amount of tin in new alloy = ( 24 + 20 )kg = 44kg.
35. The difference between the length and the breadth of a blackboard is 8 cm. If the breadth is decreased by 4 cm and the length is
increased by 7 cm, the area remains the same. Find the dimensions of the blackboard?
(A) 30, 22
(B) 28, 20
(C) 34, 26
(D) 56. 48
Solution:
Let, breadth = x
Length = x+8
ATQ,
(x+8)x = (x+15)(x-4)
Or, X2 + 8x = x2 + 11x -60
Or, x = 20
Breadth = 20. So, Length = (20+8) = 28
36. X can complete a certain work in the same time in which Y and Z together can do it. If X and Y together can finish it in 10 days and
Z alone in 15 days, then Y alone can do it in?
(A) 22 days
(B) 18 days
(C) 20 days
(D) 25 days
Answer
Solution:
X+Y can do in 1 day = 1/10 part
Z can do in 1 day = 1/15 part
Now, X=Y+Z
=>X+Y=2Y+Z
=>1/10=2Y+1/15
Y=1/2*(1/10-1/15)=1/60
So, Y can do it in 60 days
37. The difference between the radii of bigger circle and smaller circle is 14 cm and the difference between their areas is 1056 cm 2.
Radius of the smaller circle is
(A) 7 cm
(B) 5 cm
(C) 9 cm
(D) 3 cm
Solution:
R-r=14
3.14 (R^2-r^2)=1056
22/7 (R-r)(R+r)=1056
(22×14)/7(R+r)=1056
44 (R+r)=1056
R+r=1056/44
R+r=24
on solving R-r=14 and R+r=24
we get, R=38/2=19cm
r=5cm
38. A jar contains a mixture of oil and water in the ratio 22:3. 50 litres of the mixture was taken out and 25 litres of water was added
to it. If water was 34% in the resultant mixture, what was the initial quantity of the mixture (in litres) in the jar?
(A) 175
(B) 150
(C) 75
(D) 125
Solution:
Let initial quantity of the mixture is x+50 litres. Oil : water=22:3
in x litres mixture Oil =22x/(22+3)=22x/25 , water=3x/25
25 litres water added ,
water=25+(3x/25)=(625+3x)/25
total volume x+25 litres
% of water =(625+3x)×100/{25×(x+25)}=34
or 4(625+3x)/(x+25)=34
or, 2500+12x=34x+850
or, 34x-12x=2500 850
or, 22x=1650
or, x=1650/22= 75 litres
initial quantity of mixture =x+50 =75+50=125 litres .

=> Perimeter = 12000/60 * 8 = 1600 meter. [because Distance = Speed * Time]
As per question length is 3x and width is 2x
We know perimeter of rectangle is 2(L+B)
So, 2(3x+2x) = 1600
=> x = 160
So Length = 160*3 = 480 meter
and Width = 160*2 = 320 meter
Finally, Area = length * breadth
= 480 * 320 = 153600
40. A boat takes 19 hours to travel from A to point B and coming back to a point C midway between A and B. If the speed of the
stream is 4 km/hr and the speed of the boat in still water is 14 km/hr, what is the distance between A and B?
(A) 160 km
(B) 200 km
(C) 180 km
(D) 220 km
Solution:
Speed in downstream = (14 + 4) km/hr = 18 km/hr;
Speed in upstream = (14 4) km/hr = 10 km/hr.
Let the distance between A and B be x km. Then,
x/18 + (x/2)/10 = 19 ⇔ x/18 + x/20 = 19 ⇒ x = 180 km.
41. Given that 24 carat gold is pure gold, 18 carat gold is 3/4th of pure gold and 20 carat gold is 5/6th of pure gold, the ratio of the
pure gold in 18 carat gold to the pure gold in 20 carat gold is
(A) 5:8
(B) 10:9
(C) 8:5
(D) 9:10
Solution:
ATQ,
18 carat gold = ¾ pure gold
=3/4 X 24 = 18
20 carat gold = 5/6 pure gold
= 5/6 X 24 = 20
So, Required ratio = 18:20 = 9:10
42. On reducing the entry fee by 35% in a park, the number of people coming to the park increased by 40%, then the percent increase
or decrease in the income from the entry fee is
(A) 9% decrease
(B) 7% decrease
(C) 9% increase
(D) 5% decrease
Solution:
Total income = a × b = ab
Now, reducing the entry fee by 35% in a park, the number of people coming to the park increased by 40%
∴ New entry fee = a (35% of a) = 0.65a
New number of people = b + (40% of b) = 1.4b
New total income = 0.65a × 1.4b = 0.91ab
Decrease in income = ab 0.91ab = 0.09ab
% decrease in income =(0.09ab/ab)×100%
⇒ % decrease in income = 9%

would have been left after equally distributing. Find the total number of chocolates.
(A) 315
(B) 358
(C) 368
(D) 322
Solution:
Let total no. of chocolates = 25x + 8
Then (25x+8)-22 will be divisible by 28
=25x-14 is divisible by 28
= 28x-(3x+14) is divisible by 28
= 3x+14 is divisible by 28
x=14
So total no. of chocolates = 25(14)+8= 358
45. If radius of a circle is increased by 30% then its area is increased by
(B) 40%
(B) 70%
(C) 50%

interest?
(A) 25%
(B) 20%
(C) 40%
(D) 30%
Solution:
nt
We know, p(1+r/n) =C
10000(1+r/200)4=20736
(1+r/200)4=20736/10000
=>1+r/200=12/10
r=(6/5-1)200
r=1/5*200=40%
47. The difference between two positive numbers is 3 and the sum of the squares is 369. Then the sum of the numbers is
(A) 27
(B) 33
(C) 20
(D) 81
Solution:
Let, the numbers be x & x-3
So,

Questions (13-16): Read the following passage and answer the questions given below it in the context of the passage.
Our eyes and ears might be called transformers because they sense the light and sound around us and turn them into electrical
impulses that the brain can interpret. These electrical impulses that have been transformed by the eye and ears reach the brain and are
turned into messages that we can interpret. For the eye, the process begins as the eye admits light waves, bends them at the cornea
and lens, and then focuses them on the retina. At the back of each eye, nerve fibers bundle together to form optic nerves, which join
and then split into two optic tracts. Some of the fibers cross, so that part of the input from the right visual field goes into the left side
of the brain, and vice versa. The process in the ear is carried out through sensory cells that are carried in fluid-filled canals and that are
extremely sensitive to vibration. Sound transformed into electricity travels along nerve fibers in the auditory nerve. These fibers form a
synod neurons that carry the messages to the auditory cortex on each side of the brain.

37. An inspector notices a thief from a distance of 200 meters after this thief starts running and the inspector chases him. The inspector
and the thief run at the speed of 11 km/hr and 10 km/hr respectively. The distance between them after 6 minutes is?
(A) 100 m
(B) 90 m
(C) 110 m
(D) 120 m
Solution:
Relative speed of policeman with respect to thief = (11 10) = 1 Km/hr.
Now the relative distance covered by policeman in 6 min
= Speed X Time = 1×(6/60)
= 1/10km = 100 m
The distance between the policeman and thief after 6 min = 200 100 = 100 m.
38. A man is running at a speed of 3 km/hr in the direction of the train whose length is 50 meters. If the train is moving at a speed of
63 km/hr then how many seconds will this train take to cross the man?
(A) 38 sec
(B) 35 sec
(C) 34 sec
(D) 30 sec
Answer
Solution:
Speed of train relative to man
= (63 3) km/hr = 60 km/hr
= (60 X 5/18) = 50/3 m/sec
So, Time taken to pass the man = (50 X 3/50) = 3 sec
39. A train left 30 minutes later than the Schedule time and to reach its destination in time it increased its speed by 250 km/hr. If the
target is 1500 km away, find the speed of the train?
(A) 800 km/hr
(B) 750 km/hr
(C) 725 km/hr
(D) 850 km/hr
Solution:
Let the usual time taken by the train = x km/hr
Distance to the destination = 1500 km
Case (i)
Speed = Distance / Time = (1500 / x) Hrs
Case (ii)
Time taken by the train = (x 1/2) Hrs
Distance to the destination = 1500 km
Speed = Distance / Time = 1500 / (x 1/2) Hrs
Increased speed = 250 km/hr
⇒ [1500 / (x 1/2)] [1500 / x] = 250
⇒ 1/(2×2 x) = 1/6
⇒ 2x2 x=6
⇒ (x 2)(2x + 3) = 0
⇒ x = 2 or -3/2
Since, the time cannot be negative,
The usual time taken by the train = 2 hrs
and the usual speed = (1500 / 2) = 750 km/hr.
40. In still water, a boat can travel at 5 km/hr. It takes 1 hour to row to a place and come back. If the velocity of the stream is 1
km/hr, how far is the place?

Let the required distance be x km.
Then,
x/6 + x/4 = 1
Or, 5x = 12
Or, x = 2.4
41. Three varieties of rice costing Tk 30, TK, 50, and Tk. 20 are mixed in the ratio 3:2:4 in terms of weight. A retailer sells the mixture
at Tk. 33 per kg. What percentage of profit does he make?
(A) 5%
(B) 10%
(C) 9%
(D) None of these
Solution:
Let,
Quantity of rice = 3x, 2x & 4x
Costing of rice = (30X3x + 50X2x + 20X4x) = 270x
Selling price of rice = 33(3x + 2x + 4x) = 279x
Profit = (297x 270x) = 27x
Profit percentage = (27x/270x)X100 = 10%
42. P charges at 7% p.a. simple interest to Q and R and lends a certain sum to R and Tk 2500 to Q. After 4 years, P completely receives

(A) TK 1500
(B) Tk. 3100
(C) Tk. 6400
(D) Tk. 900
Solution:
Amount lent to R = x.
Total amount of Q & R = (2500 + x)
ATQ,
(2500+x)X4X(7/100) = 1120
Or, x+ 2500 = 4000
Or, x = 1500

(A) 1:2
(B) 3:2
(C) 2:3
(D) None of these
Solution:
Let,
First Number = A
Second Number = B
B 1/4A = 5/6B
Or, B = 1/4A + 5/6B
Or, 1/6B = 1/4A
Or, 4B = 6A
Or, 2B = 3A
Or, 2/3B = A
Or, A:B = 2:3
44. Seats for Computer Science, Mechanical and Electronics in a university are in the ratio 7:5:8. There is a planning to increase these

(A) 6:7:8
(B) 8:6:9
(C) 3:4:5
(D) 3:2:4
Solution:
Let,
the seats for Computer Science = 7x
Mechanical = 5x and
Electronics = 8x
After increase,
Seats for Computer Science = 150% of 7x = 21x/2
Seats for Mechanical = 140% of 5x = 7x
Seats for Electronics = 175% of 8x = 14x
New ratio will be = 21x/2 : 7x : 14x = 3 : 2 : 4

what is the value of r?
(A) 20
(B) 15
(C) 8
(D) 10
Solution:
Let original length = x and original breadth = y,
Then , original area = xy
New area = [(100−r)x /100][(105+r)y /100]
=[(10500−5r−r2)/10000)]xy
∴ [(10500−5r−r2)/10000)]xy =xy
Or, r2+5r−500=0
Or, (r+25)(r−20)=0
Or, r=20
46. A piece of wire 78 cm long is bent in the form of an isosceles triangle. If the ratio of one of the equal sides to the base is 5:3, then
what is the length of the base?
(A) 16 cm
(B) 20 cm
(C) 18 cm
(D) 30 cm
Solution:
Given, it is isosceles triangle
So, 5x+5x+3x=78
Or, 13x=78
Or, x=78/13=6
base is 3x so 3×6=18cm
47. A train takes 50 sec to cross a boy travelling at 6 km/h in the opposite direction to it. Another train which is half as long as and 25%
faster take 30 sec to cross the stationary pole. Find the approximate length of the second train.
(A) 100 m
(B) 125 m
(C) 190 m
(D) 148 m
Solution:
Let the length and speed of the first train = P km and x km/h
So the length and speed of the 2nd train = P/2 km 5x/4 km/h
ATq,
(x + 6) * 50/3600 = 5x/4 * 60/3600
x + 6 = 3x/2
x = 12 km/h
From eq (1) We get P = 1/4km = 250 m
So the legth of the second train = 125 m
48. A bag contains 30 balls numbered I to 30. Two balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that the balls drawn contain a
number which is multiple of 4 or 6 but not a multiple of both.
(A) 1/8
(B) ¼
(C) 1/3
(D) None of these
Solution:
Total no. of balls = 30
Multiple of 4 or 6 but not a multiple of both is-
We know from 1 to 30 there is 8 balls that are 4, 6, 8, 16, 18, 20, 28, 30 [ 12 and 24 are multiple of both ]
30
Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of 30 = C2 = 435
Number of ways of drawing multiple of 4 or 6 = 8C2 = 28
So the probability is = 28/435

(A) Tk. 568000
(B) Tk. 586000
(C) Tk. 588000
(D) Tk. 566000
Solution:
We know, C = P (1 + r/100)n
And C = I + P
ATq,
142464 + P = P(1 + 12/100)2
P = 142464/0.2544
P = 560000
Now simple interest I = pnr = 560000 x 7 x 15/100 = 588000

(A) Tk. 236
(B) Tk. 248
(C) Tk. 346
(D) Tk. 380
Solution:
Let,
the fixed charge = x km and
the running charges be y/km.
Then, according to given condition,
x+8y = 300 (1)
x+15y = 335 (2)
From, (2) (1)
7y = 35
Or, y = 5
So, x = 300 8X5 = 260
For 24 km charge have to be paid
= 260+(24X5) = 380

to 25%?
(A) 15/2 gallons
(B) 13/2gallons
(C) 9/2 gallons
(D) 8 ⅓ gallons
Solution:
In the original 125 gallons of mixture, 20% is water, thus 80% is wine. Hence, no. of gallons of others:
125 X 80% = 100 gallons
In the new mixture, water makes up 25%, thus 75% is others. As no. of gallons of others is unchanged, 100 gallons = 75% the new
mixture volume.
The total volume of the new mixture is : 100 / 75% = 100/ 0.75 = 133.3 gallons.
No. of gallons of added water = 133.3 125 = 8.3 = 8 ⅓

Or, 2xy = 44
Or, xy = 22
The product of two numbers is: 22
49. A student loses 1 mark for every wrong answer and scores 2 marks for every correct answer. If he answers all the 60 questions in
an exam and scores 39 marks, how many of them were correct?
(A) 27
(B) 31
(C) 33
(D) 37
Solution:
Let us assume that he answered x question correctly. Marks scored by him in x question = 2x
Wrong answer would be = 60 x
Marks lost by him in 60 x question = 60 x
ATQ,
2x (60 x) = 39
Or, 3x = 99
Or, x = 33
50. There are two stations of length 162 meters and 120 meter respectively. A train takes 15 seconds to pass first station and 18
seconds to pass another station. Determine the length of the train.
(A) 90 m
(B) 70 m
(C) 100 m
(D) 95 m
Solution:
Let length of train = L
In first case, train covers 162 + L m in 15 seconds and in second case train covers 120 + L m in 18 seconds.
Speeds are (162 + L)/18 and (120 + L)/15 respectively.
But they are equal.
So,
(162 + L)/18 = (120 + L)/15
Or, (162 + L)15 = (120 + L)18
Or, 2430 2160 = 3L
Or, L = 270/3 = 90 m
51. A man rows a certain distance along the stream and against the stream in 1 hour and 1.5 hours respectively. If the velocity of the
current is 3 km/hr, what is the speed of the man in still water?
(A) 12 km/hr
(B) 15 km/hr
(C) 18 km/hr
(D) 13 km/hr
Solution:
Let the speed of the man in still water = x
Given that, speed of the stream = 3 kmph
Speed downstream = (x+3) kmph
Speed upstream = (x 3) kmph
ATQ,
(x+3)X1 = (x-3)X1.5
Or, x + 3 = 1.5x 4.5
Or, 0.5x = 7.5
Or, x = 15
52. A milkman pays Tk. 6.40 per liter of milk. He adds water and sells the mixture at Tk. 8 per liter. By doing this, he makes 37.5%
profit. Find the proportion of water to milk received by the customer.
(A) 1:12
(B) 1:10
(C) 1:15
(D) 1:20
Solution:
Let the quantity of milk purchase be x and quantity of water added be y.
Then, ratio of water to milk be y : x.
CP = 6.4x
SP = 8(x+y)
Profit per cent = 37.5%
Therefore,
8(x+y)=6.4×1.375
Or, 8x + 8y = 8.8x
Or, 8y = 0.8x
Or, y/x= 0.8/8 = 1:10

23. A person rides a bicycle round a circular path of radius 50 m. The radius of the wheel of the bicycle is 30 cm. The cycle comes to
the starting point for the first time in 1 hour. what is the number of
revolutions of the wheel in 15 minutes?
(A) 20
(B) 25
(C) 30
(D) 35
Solution:
Circumference of the circular path = 2π50 = 100 π m
This means 100? m is the distance covered in 60 minutes
Therefore distance covered in 15 minutes = 1/4 x 100 π m = 25π m
Now distance covered in one revolution of the wheel = 2 π(1/2) m = π m
Therefore number of revolutions in 15 minutes = 25π /π = 25
24. In covering a certain distance, the speeds of A and B are in the ratio of 3:4. A takes 30 minutes more than B to reach the
destination. The time taken by A to reach the destination is
(A) 10 hour
(B) 1.5 hours
(C) 2.0 hours
(D) 25 hours
Solution:
Ratio of speed = 3:4
Ratio of time = 4:3
let A takes 4x hrs,B takes 3x hrs
then 4x-3x = 30/60 hr
x= ½ hr
Time taken by A to reach the destination is 4x = 4 * ½ = 2 hr
25. Two lots of onions with equal quantity, one costing TK.10 per kg and the other cost TK.15 per kg are mixed together and whole lot
is sold at Tk 15 per kg. What is the profit or loss ?
(A) 10% loss
(B) 10% profit
(C) 20% loss
(D) 20% profit
Solution:
Let each lot of onion-contains x k
onion, then total cost price of these two lots together
= 10x + 15x= 25x
Selling price of whole lot
= 15x(x+x)=15×2x=30x
Profit percentage
= (30x−25x)/25x × 100%
= 5x/25x × 100% = 20% profit

(B) 8 months
(C) 10 months
(D) 12 month
Solution:
B received 2/3 of the profit
A:B=1:2
Let the total capital = x
Then A's capital = x/4
B's capital = x x/4 = 3x/4
Assume B's money was used for b months
Then A:B = (x/4)*15 : (3x/4)*b = 1 : 2
15/4 : 3b/4 = 1 : 2
15 : 3b = 1 : 2
5:b=1:2
5/b = 1/ 2
b = 5*2 = 10

sum?
(A) Tk. 550
(B) Tk. 500
(C) Tk. 375
(D) Tk. 400
Solution:
Let,
The sum = x.
SI = x×n×r = x×3×20/100=3x/5
CI = [x(1+20/100)3 x] = 216x/125 x = 91x/125
ATQ,
91x/125 3x/5 = 48
Or, x = 375
36. If A and B are in the ratio 3:4, and B and C in the ratio 12:13, then A and
C will be in the ratio-
(A) 3:13
(B) 36:13
(C) 13:9
(D) 9:13
Solution:
(A/B) × (B/C) = (3/4) × (12/13)
Or, A/C = 36/52 = 9:13

the wall?
(A) 5:30 pm
(B) 5:25 pm
(C) 5:21 pm
(D) 5:27 pm
Solution:
Man climbs 1 m and slips down 50 cm (0.5 m) in one minute
i.e. he climbs (1-0.5 = 0.5 m) in one minute.
But in the last minute he will be climbing 1 m as he gets on the top so no slip.
Time taken to climb 11 meter = [(10/0.5) +1] = 21 minutes.
He climbs the wall at 5:21 pm.

(A) 15.5 seconds
(B) 18.5 seconds
(C) 20.2 seconds
(D) 14.4 seconds
Solution:
Let length of each train be x meter.
Then, speed of 1st train = x/18 m/sec;
Speed of 2nd train = x/12 m/sec;
Now,
When both trains cross each other, time taken;
=[2x/{(x18)+(x12)}]
=2x/(5x/36)
=(2x×36)/5x
=72/5
=14.4 seconds

(D) none of these
Solution:
2(l + b)= 5/1
Or, 2l + 2b = 5b
Or, 3b = 2l
Or, b = 2l/3
Then, Area = 216 cm2
Or, l x b = 216
Or, l x 2l/3 = 216
Or, l2 = 324
Or, l = 18 cm.
44. The average age of A, B, C,D and E is 40 years. The average age of A and B is 35 years and the average of C and D is 42 years. Age

(C) 37
(D) 28
Solution:
Let number be (10x+y).
According to question,
(10x+y)-(10y+x) = 54;
10x-10y+y-x = 54;
Or, 9x-9y = 54;
Or, x-y = 6 (i)
Sum of digits,
(x+y) = 10; (ii)
(i)-(ii);
So, x-y-x-y = 6-10;
Or, -2y = -4;
Or, y = 2; and, x = 8.
Then, the required number is
(10y+x) = 10×2+8 = 28.
46. A shopkeeper earns a profit of 12% on selling a book at 10% discount on the printed price. The ratio of the cost price and the
printed price of the book is
(A) 45:56
(B) 45:51
(C) 47:36
(D) 47:51
Solution:
Let,
The CP be 100.
Hence,
SP=100+12% of 100=112
If the marked price be X,
then 90% of X=112
Or, x= (112×100)/90
Or, x = 1120/90
Hence,
Required ratio =100:1120/90=900:1120=45:56
47. The selling price of an article after giving two successive discounts of 10% and 5% on the marked price is TK 171. What is the
marked price?
(A) Tk. 240
(B) TK 220
(C) TK 200
(D) TL 250
Solution:
Equivalent Discount,
=(A + B) (AB/100)
= (10 + 5) (10*5/100)
= 14.5%.
Let MP = X.
Now,
X 14.5% of X = 171(Selling Price)
Or, 0.855X = 171
Or, X = 200.
Hence, MP = 200.
48. If A and B together can complete a work in 18 days, A and C together in 12 days, and B and C together in 9 days., then B alone
can do the work in
(A) 24 days
(B) 15 days
(C) 30 days
(D) 40 days

52. Three partners shared the profit in a business in the ratio 5:7:8. They had partnered for 14 months,8 months and 7 months
respectively. What was the ratio of their investments?
(A) 5:7:8
(B) 20:49:67
(C) 38:28:21
(D) None of these
Solution:
Let their investments be x for 14 months, y for 8 months and z for 7 months respectively.
Then, 14x : 8y : 7z = 5 : 7 : 8.
Now, 14x/8y = 5/7
Or, 98x = 40y
Or, y = 49x/20
And, 14x/7z = 5/8
Or, 112x = 35z
Or, z = 112x/35 = 16x/5
So x : y : z = x : 49x/20 : 16x/5 - (Multiple by 20)
Or, x : y : z = 20 : 49 : 64
53. profit is-
(A) Tk 1425.00

(C) 9 years
(D) None of these
Solution:
Let the ages of children be x, (x + 3), (x + 6), (x + 9) and (x + 12) years.
Then, x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50
Or, 5x = 20
Or, x = 4.
Age of the youngest child = x = 4 years.
55. Six years ago, the ratio of the ages of Kunal and Sagar was 6: 5. Four years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 11:10. What is
(A) 18 years
(B) 20 years
(C) 16 years
(D) 22 years
Solution:
Let the ages of Kunal and Sagar 6 years ago be 6x and 5x years respectively.
Then, {(6x + 6) + 4}/{(5x + 6) + 4} =11/10
Or, 10(6x + 10) = 11(5x + 10)
Or, 5x = 10
Or, x = 2.
56. The price of 10 chairs is equal to that of 4 tables. The price of 15 chairs and 2 tables together is Tk. 4000. The total price of 12
chairs and 3 tables is:
(A) Tk. 3500
(B) Tk. 3750
(C) Tk. 3840
(D) None of These
Solution:
Let,
the cost of a chair and that of table be x and y respectively.
Then,
10x=4y or y=5x/2
So, 15x+2y=4000
Or, 15x+2×5x/2=4000
Or, 20x=4000
Or, x=200
So,y=(5/2)×200 = 500 Hence,
the cost of 12 chairs and 3 tables
=12x+3y=(2400+1500)=3900

Questions (01-04): Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
Raisins are dried grapes that have been eaten for thousands of years. Nearly 3,500 years ago, the first raisins were discovered as grapes
that were drying in the sun on a vine. In medieval Europe, raisins were used as sweeteners, medicine, and even as a form of money!
In America, raisins were first grown after an 1873 heat wave in California destroyed its valuable grape crop, leaving only dried, wrinkly,
but tasty grapes on the vines. Soon, farmers began developing seedless grapes in California that were thin-skinned and sweet. These
grapes would be purposely dried in the sun and became the popular dark raisin we eat and enjoy today. Later, a golden variety of raisin
was made by treating grapes with a chemical called sulfur dioxide and using special methods to dry them.
valleys, sunny climate, and hot temperatures provide the perfect conditions for grapes that are dried into raisins.
1. Which of the following were raisins not used as?
(A) medicine
(B) weapons
(C) sweetener
(D) money

33. Which one of the following numbers can be removed from the set S = (02,4,5,9}without changing the average of set S?
(A) 0
(B) 2
(C) 4
(D) 5
Solution:
The average of the elements in the original set S is: (0+2+4+5+9) /5 =20 /5 =4.
If we remove an element that equals the average, then the average of the new set will remain unchanged. The new set after removing 4
is {0, 2, 5, 9}.
The average of the elements is,
(0+2+5+9) /4=16 /4 =4.
34. Find the least number of five digits which when divided by 40, 60, and 75, leave remainders 31,51 and 66 respectively.
(A) 10196
(B) 10199
(C) 197
(D) 10191
Solution:
Difference, 40-31 = 9;
60-51 = 9;
75-66 = 9;
Difference between numbers and remainder is same in each case.
Then,
The answer = {(LCM of 40, 60, 75)-9};
40 = 2×2×2×5;
60 = 2×2×3×5;
75 = 3×5×5;
LCM = 2×2×2×5×5×3 = 600;
But, the least number of 5 digits = 10000;
10000/600, we get remainder as 400.
Then, the answer = 10000+(600-400)-9; = 10191.
35. A trader sells his goods at a discount 20%. He still makes a profit of 25%. If he sells the goods at the marked price only, his profit
will be:
(A) 56,25%
(B) 25.36%
(C) 50,25%
(D) 54.25%
Solution:
Let the marked price = Rs. 100.
Then, SP = 100 - 20% of 100 = Rs. 80
Profit = 25%.
Let His CP = X.
SP = 80
X + 25% of X = 80
Hence, X = Rs. (100×80)/125 = Rs. 64.
CP = Rs. 64.
Profit after selling on marked price = 100-64 = Rs. 36
% gain = (36×100)/64 = 56.25%.
36. The cost price of 19 articles is same as the selling price of 29 articles. What is loss percentage?

(B) 14 years
(C) 18 years
(D) 20 years
Solution:
Let the present ages of son and father be x and (60 -x) years respectively.
Then, (60 - x) - 6 = 5(x - 6)
⇒ 54 - x = 5x - 30
⇒ 6x = 84
⇒ x = 14.
∴

(A) 40
(B) 44
(C) 80
(D) 88
Solution:
according to the given conditions x+y = 22
and x^2+y^2 = 404
now (x+y)^2 = x^2+y^2+2xy
so 22^2 = 404 + 2xy
so xy = 80/2 = 40
46. A tank is filled in 5 hours by three pipes A, B and C. The pipe C is twice as fast as B and B is twice as fast as A. How much time will
pipe A alone take to fill the tank?
(A) 20 hours
(B) 25 hours
(C) 35 hours
(D) None of these
Solution:
Let,
Pipe A alone takes x hours to fill the tank.
Then, pipes B and C will take x/2 and x/4 hours respectively to fill the tank.
So, 1/x+2/x+4/x=15
Or, 7/x=1/5
Or, x=35hrs
47. What is the rate of simple interest for the first 4 years if the sum of Tk. 360 becomes tk. 540 in 9 years and the rate of interest for
the last 5 years is 6%?
(A) 4%
(B) 5%
(C) 3%
(D) 6%
Solution:
Interest for the last 5 years
=PTR/100
=(360×5×6)/100=108 Tk
Interest for 9 year
=540−360
=180 Tk
So,interest for first four years=180−108=72 Tk;
Now, rate for first four years=(72×100)/(360×4)=5%

required by it to reach the top?
(A) 35 minutes
(B) 33 minutes
(C) 37 minutes
(D) 40 minutes
Solution:
Monkey climbs 6 m in 1st minute and
slips down 3 m in next minute
i.e. Monkey climbs 3 meter in 2 minute
then he climbs in one minute,
= 3/2 m.
But in the last minute he climbs 6 m as he gets on the top so there is no slip.
Time required = 2 × (54/3) + (6/6) = 37 minutes.
53. Two trains 105 meters and 90 meters long, run at the speeds of 45 km/h and 72 km/h respectively, in opposite directions on
parallel tracks. The time which they take to cross each other, is:
(A) 8 seconds
(B) 7 seconds
(C) 5 seconds
(D) 6 seconds
Solution:
Length of the 1st train = 105 m;
Length of the 2nd train = 90 m.
Relative speed of the trains,
= 45+72 = 117 kmph
= 117×(5/18) = 32.5 m/sec;
Time taken to cross each other,
= (Length of 1st train + length of 2nd train) /relative speed of the trains.
Time taken = 195/32.5 = 6 secs.

is blue?
(A) 5/7
(B) 2/7
(C) 10/21
(D) 11/21
Solution:
Total number of balls = (2 + 3 + 2) = 7.
Let, S be the sample space.
Then, n(S) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of 7
= 7C2
= (7 x 6)/(2 x 1)
= 21.
Let,
E = Event of drawing 2 balls, none of which is blue.
n(E) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of (2 + 3) balls.
= 5C2
=(5 x 4)/(2 x 1)
= 10.
P(E) =n(E)/ n(S)= 10/21

what is the length of the plot in meters?
(A) 60
(B) 100
(C) 75
(D) 50
Solution:
Let length of plot = L meters, then breadth = L - 20 meters
and
perimeter = 2[L + L - 20] = [4L - 40] meters
ATQ,
[4L - 40] × 26.50 = 5300
Or, [4L - 40] = 5300 / 26.50 = 200
Or, 4L = 240
Or, L = 240/4= 60 meters.

MATHEMATICS
Questions (31-60): Read the following questions carefully and choose the right answer.
31. Three houses are available in a locality. Three persons apply for the houses. Each applies for one house without consulting others.
The probability that all the three apply for the same house is
(A) 1/9
(B) 5/9
(C) 8/9
(D) 4/9
Solution:
One person can select one house out of 3= 3C1 ways =3.
Hence, three persons can select one house out of 3 in 3 × 3 × 3 =27
So, probability that all three apply for the same house is = 3/27 = 1/9
32. If the perimeter of a certain rectangle is 76 m and its area is 360 m 2, then what is the length of its shortest side?
(A) 13
(B) 15
(C) 18
(D) 10
Solution:
2(x+y)=76
Or, (x+y)= 38
Or, x = 38-y
From (2)
(38 y)y = 360
Or, 38y y2 = 360
2
Or, y 38y + 360 = 0
Or, (y 20)(y 18) = 0
So, y = 20 or y = 18
When y = 20, x = 18 and when y = 18, x = 20.
So, the shorter side is 18.
33. The simple interest received on a sum of money at the end of 10 years is two times of the principal. At the same rate of interest,
what would be the ratio of principal and compound interest received at the end of two years?
(A) 25: 11
(B) 20:11
(C) 20:9
(D) None of these
Solution:
Let,
Principal = x
So,
2x = x x 10 x r/100
Or, r = 20%
Again, Let,
Principal = 100
So,
C = 100(1 + 20/100)2
= 144
Interest = 144 100 = 44
Required ratio = 100:44 = 25:11

Or, 6x-12 = 4x
Or, 2x = 12
Or, x = 6
36. Three dice are thrown together. Find the probability of getting a total of at least 6?
(A) 103/108
(B) 103/208
(C) 103/216
(D) 36/103
Solution
Total number of events=6 × 6 × 6=216
Let A be the event of getting a total of at least 6 and B denoted event of getting a total of less than 6 i.e.,3,4,5.
So,B={(1,1,1),(1,1,2),(1,2,1),(2,1,1),(1,1,3),(1,3,1),(3,1,1),(1,2,2),(2,1,2),(2,2,1)}
Favorable number of cases=10
So, P(B)=10/216
Or, P(A) = 1 P(B) = 1 (10/216) = 103/108
37. In a college Rahim scored 80 marks out of 150 in History and 95 marks out of 120 in English. If he wants to score 70% marks in 3
subjects, find the minimum marks he should score in Geography out of 100.
(A) 70
(B) 55
(C) 76
(D) None of these
Solution:
Total marks = 150+120+ 100 = 370
Marks obtained in 2 subjects = 80+95 = 175
Total marks to be obtained = 370 × 70% = 249
Marks needed in Geography = 249 175 = 74
38. If x=1+√2 and y = 1-√2, find the value of (x2+y2).
(A) 12
(B) 6
(C) 8
(D) 10
Solution:
x=1+√2
Or, x2 = (1+√2)2 = 1 + 2√2 + 2 = 3 + 2√2
y=1-√2
Or, y2 = (1-√2)2 = 1 2√2 + 2 = 3- 2√2
2 2
x +y = 3 + 2√2 + 3 2√2 = 6
39. X can do a piece of work in 20 days and Y can do the 1/7th of the same work in 5 days. In how days together they can complete
the 11/14th of the total work?
(A) 15 days
(B) 20 days
(C) 10 days
(D) 12 days
Solution:
Y can do in 1 day = 1/(7×5) = 1/35
X & Y together do in 1 day = 1/20 + 1/35 = 11/140
11/140 work is done in 1 day
So, 1 work is done in 140/11 day
So, 11/14 work is done in (11/14) × (140/11) = 10
40. The circumference of the circle and the perimeter of the square is equal and the ratio between the diameter of the circle and the
side of the square is 7:11. What is the area of the circle?
(A) 154 cm2
(B) 160 cm2
(C) 132 cm2
Solution:
Let, the side of the square = 11x and
diameter of the circle = 7x
ATQ,
2π(7x/2) = 4×11x
Or, 2 × 22/7 × 7x/2 = 44x
41. The average weight of 17 students is 90 kg. If the weight of teacher is also included, then the average weight is increased by 200
grams. Find the weight of the teacher?
(A) 93.6 kg
(B) 94 kg
(C) 93.4 kg
(D) 94.6 kg
Solution:
Total weight including teacher = 18×90.2 = 1623.6
Total weight of 17 students = 17 × 90 = 1530
So, weight of teacher = 1623.6 1530 = 93.6
42. A train can cross another train of equal length coming from the opposite direction with the speed of 108 km/h in 3 minutes. The
speed of the other train is 90 km/h. Find the length of the train.
(A) 5940 m
(B) 5490 m
(C) 4590 m
(D) 4950 m
Solution:
Relative speed = 108 + 90 = 198 km/h = 198 ×(5/18) m/s
Distance covered in 3 minutes = 198 ×(5/18) × 3×60 = 9900 m
So, length of a train = 9900/2 = 4950m
43. A can complete a piece of work in 12 days, A, B and C can complete the work in 6 days. Efficiency of B is 0.5 times the efficiency of
A. In how many days C can complete the work alone?
(A) 24 days
(B) 10 days
(C) 16 days
(D) 12 days
Solution:
A can complete 1/12 work a day.
So, B can complete (1/2)x(1/12) = 1/24 work a day.
So, A+B can complete (1/12 + 1/24) = 1/8 work a day
A+B+C can complete 1/6 work a day.
So, C can complete (1/6 1/8) = 1/24 work a day.
So, C needs 24 days to complete.
44. A shopkeeper sold an item at 20% profit and another item at 10% loss. If the cost price of both the items is same, find the overall
profit percent.
(A) 7.55%
(B) 6.00%
(C) 5.00%
(D) 6.50%
Solution:
Let, cost of each item = 100
At 20% profit, selling price = 120
At 10% loss, selling price = 90
Total selling price = 210
Total cost = 100+100 = 200
Profit = 210-200 = 10
Profit % = (10×100)/200 = 5%
45. 8 males and 6 females can do a piece of work in 5 days. 5 males and 6 females can complete the same work in 7 days. How many
days will a female take to do the job, if she works alone?
(A) 135 days
(B) 142 days
(C) 110 days
(D) 126 days
Solution:
8x + 6y = 1/5 -(1)
5x + 6y = 1/7 -(2)
(1)-(2),
3x = 2/35
Or, x = 2/105
From (2),
5 x 2/105 + 6y = 1/7
Or, y = 1/126
Days need = 126.
46. A is 30% more efficient than B. How much time will they, working together, take to complete a job which A alone could have done
in 23 days?
(A) 13 days
(B) 15 days
(C) 10 days
(D) None of these
Solution:
Ratio of times taken by A and B = 100 : 130 = 10 : 13.
Let, B takes x days to do the work.
Then, 10 : 13 :: 23 : x
Or, x = ( 23 × 13/10 )
Or, x = 299 /10

(A) 4 days
(B) 5 days
(C) 3 days
(D) 2 days
Solution:
3m = 6w
So 12m + 8w = 24w + 8w = 32w
Since 6 women can complete work in 16 days, 32 women can complete it in :
16 × 6/32 = 3 days.
22. A milkman bought 15 kg of milk and mixed 3 kg of water in it. If the price per kg of the mixture becomes Tk. 22, what is cost price
of the milk per kg?
(A) Tk. 26.40
(B) TK, 28.00
(C) Tk. 22.60
(D) Tk. 24.00
Solution:
Let CP of milk be Rs. x per kg.
Therefore, 22:(x−22)=15:3
Or, 22/(x-22) = 15/3
Or, 5x = 132
Or, x = 26.40
23. If the rate of interest is 10% per annum and is compounded half yearly, the principal of Tk. 400 in 3/2 years will amount to
(A) Tk. 463.00
(B) Tk. 463.05
(C) Tk. 463.15
(D) Tk. 463.20
Solution:
C = P {1 + (r/n)}nt
= 400 {1 + (10/100×2)}(2x3)/2
= 463.05
24. A dealer offers a discount of 10% on the marked price of an article and still makes a profit of 20%. If its marked price is Tk. 800,
then the cost price of the article is
(A) Tk. 900
(B) Tk. 800
(C) Tk. 700
(D) Tk. 600
Solution:
M.P of an article = Rs. 800
After Discount = 90% of 800 = 720
Profit = 20%
CP = (720×100)/120 = 600
25. Pipe A alone can fill a tank in 8 hours. Pipe B can fill it in 6 hours. If both the pipes are opened and after 2 hours pipe A is closed,
then the other pipe will fill the tank in
(A) 6 hours
(B) 3 ½ hours
(C) 2 ½ hours
(D) 4 hours
Solution:
Part of cistern filled by A in 1 hr = 1/8
Part of cistern filled by B in 1 hr = 1/6
Therefore part of cistern filled by A and B in 1 hr = 1/8+1/6 = 7/24
In 2 hrs = 14/24 = 7/12
No of hrs taken by B to fill remaining part of cistern = remaining part of cistern/part of cistern filled per hr by B
= 5/12 ÷1/6
= 5/2
Time reqd by B to fill remaining part = 5/2 hrs = 2 ½ hours
26. One tap can fill a drum three times as fast as another tap. Both the taps together can fill the drum in 36 minutes. How much time
would the slower tap take to fill the drum?
(A) 144 minutes
(B) 108 minutes
(C) 124 minutes
(D) 160 minutes
Solution:
If the faster tap can fill the drum in M minutes, the slower tap fills it in 3M minutes
Both the pipes can fill (1/M + 1/3M) of the drum in 1 minute
1
/M + 1/3M = 1/36 or 4/3M = 1/36 or 3M = 144 or M = 48
Faster tap can fill the drum in 48 minutes.
Slower tap can fill the drum in 3 x 48 = 144 minutes.
27. 8 taps through which water flows at the same rate can fill a tank in 30 minutes. If two taps go out of order, how long will the
