bank that paid simple interest. The amount Two
different amounts:grew to Tk.240 at the end of 2
years. She waited for another 3 years and got a
final amount of Tk.300. What was the principal
amount that she invested at the beginning?
Solution:
Given that, after 2 years the amount will be =
Tk. 240
And, after 2 + 3 =
5 years the amount will be = Tk. 300
So, Total Interest for 3 years = Tk. 300 − 240 =

10. Club A has 20 members and Club B has 27. If a


total of 42 people belong to the two clubs, how
many people belong to both clubs?
Solution: Let, PሺAሻ = 20, PሺBሻ = 27
We know that,
PሺAሻ ∪ PሺBሻ = PሺAሻ + PሺBሻ − PሺA ∩ Bሻ
or, 42 = 20 + 27 − PሺA ∩ Bሻ
or, PሺA ∩ Bሻ = 20 + 27 – 42
or, PሺA ∩ Bሻ = 47 – 42 = 5

Science. If 5 students like both Math and English, 7
students like both Math and Science, 8 students
like both English and Science and 3 students like
neither of these subjects, how many students like
all of the three subjects?
Solution: Let, nሺMሻ = 20, nሺEሻ = 25, nሺSሻ =
30, nሺM ∩ Eሻ = 5, nሺM ∩ Sሻ = 7, nሺE ∩ Sሻ =
8, none = 3, nሺM ∩ E ∩ Sሻ = x
We know that,

Find the numbers. or, 50n2 + 1150n − 106200 = 0
Solution: or, n2 + 23n − 2124 = 0
Given that 3 numbers x, y and z are in AP or, n2 + 59n − 36n − 2124 = 0

or, y + x + z = 30
or, y + 2y = 30 Since x + z = 2y
or, 3y = 30y ∴ y = 10
Let the common difference between x, y & z is ′d’
So, 2nd term y = 10,
first term x = 10 − d
and 3rd term z = 10 + d
According to the 2nd condition, 10 − d 2 + 102

many times would he be of Ronit’s age? So, Present total age of husband, wife and child
Solution: Let, Ronit ′ s present age be = x years, = 30 × 3 = 90 years
Present average age of wife and child = 20 + 5
father ′ s present age = x + 3x = 4x years
= 25
Atq, 4x + 8 = 2.5 x + 8 ⇒ 4x + 8 = 2.5x + 20
Present total age = 2 × 25 = 50 years
⇒ 1.5x = 12 ∴ x = 8.
So, husband′s present age = 90 − 50 = 40 years.

Solution: Let, 10 years ago, age of A = x 90 − − i
So, age of B at that time = 2x Again, B − A = C − B ⇒ 2B = A + C
x + 10 3 ⇒ A + C = 2B
ATQ, = ⇒ 6x + 30 = 4x + 40
2x + 10 4 Putting this value in i ⇒ 2B + B = 90
2x = 10 ⇒ x = 5 ⇒ 3B = 90 ⇒ B = 30
So, present age of A and B = 5 + 10 = 15 Since D is 40 years older than B
and 2 × 5 + 10 = 20 So age of D = 30 + 40 = 70 years
Total = 15 + 20 = 35 years.

5. At present, the difference between A's age and
C's age is 20 years, then what is the sum of the
ages of A,B and C?
Solution: Let, the age of A & B 8 years ago =
4x & 5x respectively
So, present age of A & B = 4x + 8 and 5x + 8
Since ratio of present age of B & C is 4: 5

Solution: Let, Age of Father = x,
So, age of Son = 50 − x
Again, Difference of their age is
x − ሺ50 − xሻ = 2x − 50
When age of son will x, the age of father will ⇒
x + 2x − 50 = 3x − 50
Now, 3x − 50 + x = 102 ⇒ x = 38
Father′s age = 38 years; Son′s age = 50 − 38 =
