B investment is 7x tk revolutions per second, how many revolutions per minute
C investment is 8x tk does the larger wheel make in terms of x ?
Total investment= 5x+7x+8x=20xtk Solution:
So, As we know,
5x = 42360 1 revolution of circle= Circumference of that circle
Or, x = 8472 Again,
Now, total Profit =20×8472= 169440 tk Circumference of circle=2πr
Answer: 169440 tk Given that,

female. Twelve of the male teachers are unmarried, while So, radius, r= 28/2= 14 inches
60% of them are married. The total number of faculty Now, circumference = 28π inches
members in the department is: Hence,
Solution: x revolutions per sec = 28πx inches

Let, total members are x Then in 60 sec 28πx × 60 inches

then female members are 2x/3 ATQ,

So, male members are = x 2x/3 = x/3 28πx × 60 = 35πn

ATQ, => n = 48x

12 teachers are unmarried Thusa the required no of revolutions is 48x

Or, (100-60)% =40% =12 Answer: 48x

So, 100% = 12*100/40 = 30

Again,
x/3 = 30
Or, x=90 1. In a flight of 600 km, an aircraft was slowed down due

speed. A train passes them in 9 & 9.5 seconds. What is the
And length of the train and speed of the train?
Total work be 1 portion Solution:
Let,
The speed of the train = x kmh
According to the question, Know that,
(7.5 -x)/1 + x(1/15 + 1/12) = 1 Distance = speed × time
Or, (7.5 -x)/1 + 9x/60 = 1 ATQ,
Or, (30-4x+9x )/60=1 (x-3.6)×9 = (x-7.2) × 9.5
Or, 30 + 5x = 60 Or, 9x 32.4 = 9.5x 68.4
Or, x = 6 Or, 0.5x = 36
Hence, A & B work together 6 days Or, x = 72 kmh
Answer:6 days Here, speed of the train = 72 kmh

order, deleting one of them from the set decreased the
sum of the remaining numbers by 20% of the sum of 5.
Which one of the number is deleted from the set?
Solution: 1. If a person invest Tk. 4000 at x% and Tk. 5000 at y%, he
Since a, b, c, d, e are increasing order consecutive number, will get total Tk. 320 as interest. On the other hand if he
b = a + 1, invests Tk. 5000 at x% and Tk. 4000 at y%, he will get total
c = a + 2, Tk. 310 as interest. Find the value of x and y.
d = a + 3, Solution:
e=a+4
ATQ,
The sum of five numbers = a + a + 1 + a + 2 + a + 3 + a
{4000x/100}+{5000y/100}=320
+ 4 = 5a + 10
Or, 4x + 5y = 32 -(i)
We are given that the sum decreased by 20% when one
Again,
number was deleted
{5000x/100}+{4000y/100}= 310
New sum = (5a + 10) 20% of (5a + 10) = 4a + 8
Or,5x + 4y = 31 -(ii)
Then, 4a + 8 = 5a + 10 Dropped number
From (i)×5 (ii)×4,
Dropped number = a + 2 = c
20x + 25y = 160 Blue, White, and Red are
20x + 16y = 124 x/6,x/6,x/6 respectively
Sold cars:
Or,9y = 36 Black cars=x/2 of 70%=7x/20
Or, y = 4 Blue cars=x/6 of 80%=2x/15
From equation(I) White cars=x/6 of 30%=x/20
4x + 5y = 32 Red cars=x/6 of 40%=x/15
x = (32-5*4)/4 = 3 Total sold

Solution: Total length of two train=(x+x)=2x
Speed Of First train = x/3
Total balls = 5 + 4 + 3 = 12 Speed Of second train =x/4
No of ways of drawing 3 marbles out of 12 = 12c3 = 220 We know that,
event of getting 3 marbles of same color = 5c3 + 4c3 + Time=Distance/speed
3c3=10+4+1= 15 Or, T = 2x/(x/3 + x/4)
probability of getting 3 marbles of same color =15/220 = 3/44 Or, T= 2x*12/7x

Solution: <15)
Let total original quantity = x litres, Let y litres replaced. W =8
After y litres of mixture drawn out, W+B =12 B =4
Milk = [3/(3+1)] * x [3/(3+1)] * y Probability = 4c2/12c2 = 1/11
Water = [1/(3+1)] * x [1/(3+1)] * y Shortcut:
Now y litres of milk poured in can. Milk becomes (3/4)*x 4/33=(8/12)*(7/11)
(3/4)*y +y = (3/4)*x +(1/4)*y So we can write,
Now [(3/4)*x +(1/4)*y] / [(1/4)*x (1/4)*y] = 15/4 Total ball=12
Solve, y = (3/19)* x White ball=8
So 3/19 of original mixture removed. Black ball=12-8=4

Solution: x = 258 metres

In opposite direction Relative speed = (20+15) = 35 m/s
Let the speed of the boat = p kmph
Distance has to be covered = 192 + 258 = 450 metres
Let the speed of the river flow = q kmph
So the needed time = 450/35 = 12.86 sec
From the given data,
2 x {28/(p + q)} = 28/(p q)
=> 56p - 56q -28p - 28q = 0
=> 28p = 84q
=> p = 3q. 01. A motorist and cyclist starts from A to B at the same
Now, given that if time where AB = 18km. The speed of motorist is 15kmph

=> 28/5q + 28/q = 672/60 motorist rests for 30mins and there after his speed reduces
=> q = 3 kmph by 20%. If the motorist reaches destination B 15min earlier
=> p =3q = 9 kmph than that of the cyclist. Then find the speed of the cyclist.
Hence, the speed of the boat = p kmph = 9 kmph and the Solution:
speed of the river flow = q kmph = 3 kmph. Let, speed of cyclist = x km
So, speed of motorist= x+15 km

Solution: 02. The purchase price of a watch and wall clock is Tk. 390.
12 men can complete the work in 36 days. If the watch is sold at 10% profit and the wall clock at 15%
So, 12×36 men can complete the work in 1 day profit, total profit earned is Tk. 51.50. Find the purchase
Again, price difference between the wall clock and the watch.
18 women can complete the work in 60 days Solution:
So, 18×60 women can complete the work in 1 day Let cost price of watch be x and cost price of clock be
12×36 men = 18×60 women (390−x)
So, 2 men = 5 women profit = 51.50
Now, 8 men + 20 women = (4×5 + 20) women = 40 ATQ,
women 10x/100 +15(390−x)/100 = 51.50
So, 18 women complete the work in 60 days 10x + 15(390−x) = 5150
10x + 5850 − 15x = 5150
= (40×20)/(18×60) 5x = 700

=9/100 × 95/100 + 91/100 × 5/100 + 9/100 × 5/100
(60men×200days)+(60+n)men×40days =60men×250days = 171/2000 + 91/2000 + 9/2000
Or, 12000+(60+n)men×40days =15000 = 271/2000
Or, (60+n)40=3000 Therefore, Probability that the article will be non-defective
Or, 60+n=75 =1 271/2000
Or, n=15 = 1729/2000

students in the school became 1200, and the ratio of boys runner C, in another race of same type runner B finished 8
to girls changed to 7:5. What was the number of students m ahead of runner C. Each runner travels the entire
in the school before new admissions? distance at a constant speed. Find the length of the race.
Solution: Solution:
Let, Let,
Number of boys before new admission =5x A finishes x m which is the required distance.
Number of girls before new admission =3x ATQ,
So, total number of students = 5x + 3x = 8x B finishes in (x-12) m
Some new boys and girls were admitted to the school, in C finishes in (x-14) m
the ratio 5:7. Again,
So, Number of new boys =5y and Number of girls boys =7y If B finishes in x m, then C finishes in (x-8) m
So, total number of new students = 5y + 7y = 12y So,
ATQ, A/B = x/(x-12); A/C = x/(x-18)
8x + 12y = 1200 So, B/C = (x-12)/(x-18) (1)
Or, 2x + 3y = 300 -(1) B/C = x/(x-8) (2)
Again, From (1) & (2),
(5x+5y) / (3x + 7y) = 7/5 (x-12)/(x-18) = x/(x-8)
Or, 25x + 25y = 21x + 49y Or, x2 18x = x2 20x + 96
Or, 4x 24y = 0 Or, 2x = 96
Or, 4x = 24y Or, x = 48
Or, x = 6y length of the race is 48 m.
From (1), 5.
2x + 3y = 300 money. After four months from the start of the business.
Or, 2× 6y + 3y = 300

Solution: Again,
Let, 28/(x+2y) + 28/(x-2y) = 672/60
The distance of the cow from the nearest end of the bridge 1/(3y+2y) + 1/(3y-2y) = 2/5
is = x meters. 1/5y + 1/y = 2/5
So, one half of the length of the bridge is = x+5 meters (1+5)/5y = 2/5
So, the length of the bridge is = 2(x+5) = 2x+10 meters. y=3
So, the distance of the cow from the far end of the bridge x = 3×3 = 9

Solution:
Or, (1 + 1)n = 16
Therefore, (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work =1/(2×8) = 1/16 Or, 2n = 24
Work done by A, B, C in 10 days =10/16 = 5/8 Or, n = 4
Remaining work = 1 5/8 = 3/8

Let the speed of the boat upstream be p kmph and that of of a2-b2=?

Time for upstream = 8 hrs 48 min = 44/5 hrs x3 + 3/x = 4(a3 +b3
Time for downstream = 4 hrs 3x+1/x3 = 4(a3-b3
Distance in both the cases is same. Now (1) + (2)
p x 44/5 = q x 4 x3 + 3/x + 3x+1/x3 = 4a3 + 4b3 + 4a3 - 4b3

In some parts of Bangladesh, farmers are using their submerged lands for crop production by adopting scientific methods which
are similar to hydroponic agriculture practices whereby plants can be grown on the water in a bio-land or floating bed of water
hyacinth, algae or other plant residues. Floating gardens (locally known as Dhop) are age old practice of crop cultivation in the
Southern floodplains of Bangladesh. The unique hydroponics production system was developed in the hands of the locals by
using their traditional knowledge for agricultural practice and livelihood. Bio diverse vegetables and spices crops are grown
sustainably over the years on floating substrata made mainly of water hyacinth and other minor aquatic weeds on flooded
water. The land with the water is used for production of fish in the open water and crops on the floating beds. Thus, ensures a
sustainable utilization of agro-biodiversity, natural resources and multiple use of the land. Floating agriculture practices have
minimal infrastructure and costs can also be kept low because raw materials for the construction of Floating beds are readily
available from local waterways. This gives the opportunity to many people living in this area to cultivate using this technique.
The advantages of floating garden agricultural heritage system are manifold. The floating beds are made of free, locally abundant
materials, especially water hyacinth. This is considered to be one of the most dangerous invasive species due to its high
reproduction speed but in this particular farming system, this notorious weed converted to most useful resources. Since crops
could absorb prime nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus from the floating beds and below water, there is
almost no need for fertilizer input. After collecting water hyacinth bamboo is laid on a dense layer of water hyacinth to enable
people to stand on it, and then more water hyacinth is piled on top to make it compact. The eventual thickness depends on the
duration of water losing for it must be able to float du

Among the three successive years,
1st year, he buys = 40000/75 = 533.33 litres of petrol
2nd year, he buys = 40000/80 = 500 litres of petrol
3rd year, he buys = 40000/85 = 470.58 litres of petrol
He buys total = (533.33+500+470.58) = 1503.91 litres of petrol
Total cost = (40000×3) = 120000 tk.
So, average cost of per litre of petrol = (120000/1503.91) = 79.79 tk. = 80 tk (Approx)

(B) P is a working and Q is an investing partner. P puts in Tk. 340000 and Q puts Tk. 650000. P receives 20% of the profits for
managerial works. The rest is distributed in proportion to their capitals. Out of a total profit of Tk. 99000, how much does P get?
Solution:
For managerial works, P gets from profit = 20% of 99000 = 19800 tk.
Profit remains = (99000 19800) = 79200 tk.
ATQ,
P:Q = 340000: 650000 = 34:65
Sum of ratio = (34+65) = 99
From remaining profit P gets = 34/99 of 79200 = 27200 tk
So, P gets total = (19800 + 27200) = 47000 tk.

(C) A lawn is in the form of a rectangle having its sides in the ratio 2:3. The area of the lawn is 1/6 hectares. Find the length
and breadth of the lawn.
Solution:
Let,
Length = 3x meter
And breadth = 2x meter
Given,
Area = 1/6 hectares
= (10000/6) meter2
= 5000/3 meter2
ATQ,
3x × 2x = 5000/3
Or, 6x2 = 5000/3
Or, x2 = 5000/18
Or, x2 = 2500/9
Or, x = ±√(2500/9)
Or, x = ±50/3
Or, x = 50/3 (negative is not acceptable)
So, length = 3x = 3 × (50/3) meter = 50 meter
breadth = 2x = 2 × (50/3) meter = 100/3 meter = 33.33 meter

(D) Consider an example from a maintenance shop. The inter-arrival times of tools at that shop are exponential with an average
time of 10 minutes. The length of the service time is assumed to be exponentially distributed, with mean 6 minutes. Estimate
the fraction of the day that an operator will be idle.
e) Simplify: (x-1)/(x2 x 20) + (4 x)/(x2 4x 5)

|3
Solution:
Given,
(x-1)/(x2 x 20) + (4 x)/(x2 4x 5)
2
= (x-1)/(x 5x + 4x 20) + (4 x)/(x2 5x + x 5)
= (x-1)/{(x(x 5) + 4(x 5)} + (4 x)/{(x(x 5) + 1(x 5)}
= (x-1)/(x 5)(x + 4) + (4 x)/(x 5)(x + 1)
= 1/(x 5){ (x-1)/(x + 4) (x 4)/(x + 1)}
2 2
= 1/(x 5){(x 1 x + 16)/(x + 4)(x + 1)}
= 1/(x 5){15/(x + 4)(x + 1)}
= 15/(x 5)(x + 4)(x + 1)

(F) Prove that a parallelogram inscribed in a circle must be a rectangle.

Solution:

(G) The angle of elevation of a hot air balloon, climbing vertically from 25 degrees to 60 degrees at 10:00 am and at 10.02 am
respectively. The point of observation of the angle of elevation is situated 300 meters away from the take-off point. What is the
upward speed (m/sec), assumed constant for the balloon?
Solution:
At 10:00 am, height of the ballon is,
tan250 = height1/300
or, height1 = 300 tan250 = 139.89 meter
Again,
At 10:02 am, height of the ballon is,
Tan600 = height2/300
or, height2 = 300 tan600 = 519.62 meter

|4
Difference of height = (height2 height1)
= (519.62 139.89) meter
= 379.73 meter
Time difference = (10:02 10:00) am = 2 minute
So, upward speed (m/sec) of ballon = height/time
= 379.73/120 (2 minute = 120 sec)
= 3.16 m/sec (Approx)

Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of
thought.

A theory however elegant and economical must be rejected or revised if it ,

is untrue: likewise laws and Institutions no matter how efficient and well
arranged must be reformed or abolished if they are unjust. ,

Each person possesses an inviolability founded on Justice that even the

welfare of society as a whole cannot override.

For this reason justice denies that the loss of freedom for some is made
right by a greater good shared by others.

It does not allow that the sacrifices imposed on a few are outweighed by
the larger sum of advantages enjoyed by many.

Therefore, in a just society the liberties of equal citizenship are taken as

After the striking political theater that unfolded recently at the forbidding border between North and South Korea, it seems
almost mean-spirited to cast aspersions on Kim Jong-
in a few weeks with President Trump. These contacts, after all, stand in stark contrast to the scary talk of nuclear exchanges of
only a few months ago, and meeting face-to-
Korean President, Moon Jae-in, was heady stuff, minutely choreographed to stir the hopes and longings of a nation bitterly
divided for seventy years. Every scene was suffused with symbolism: the joint steps across the concrete slab that marks the
border, which no member of the Kim dynasty had ever breached before the banter and the hand-holding the soil heaped on a
tree planted when the Korean War ended in an armistice in 1953; the honor guard in 19th-century imperial robes. The
two leaders was similarly upbeat, promising to rid the Korean peninsula of nuclear

(A) A piece of stone fell from a balloon when it was flying in the upward direction with a velocity 20 m/sec. What height of the
balloon when the stone hit the ground in 10 seconds?
Solution:
Given,
velocity of ballon = 20 m/sec
Time, t = 10 sec
We know that, a piece of stone fell from a ballon when it was flying in the upward direction, then
h1 = ut + (1/2)gt2
= (20×10) + (1/2)×9.8×102
= 200 + 490
= 290 m

h2 = ut = 20×10 = 200 m
So, after 10 sec when the stone touched the ground, height of the ballon will be,
h = h1 + h2
= 290 + 200
= 490 m

(B) Find the maximum value of z = 6x+2y, subject to the conditions x≥0, y≥0, x+y =5, x≤2, y≤4
Solution:

Conditions given x ≤ 2, y ≤ 4 and x≥0, y≥0

So, 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 4
If the highest value of x = 2, then
2 + y = 5 [from eq. (i)]
Or, y = 3
So, x = 2 and y = 3

|7
If the highest value of y = 4, then
x + 4 = 5 [from eq. (i)]
Or, x = 1
So, x = 1 and y = 4
Now, for (x , y) = (2, 3), z = 6×2 + 2×3 = 18
Again, for (x , y) = (1, 4), z = 6×1 + 2×4 = 14
So, the maximum value of z is 18.

(C) The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is subtracted from the number. How many such two-digit numbers can be formed
so that the digit in the unit place of the resulting number is 6?
Solution:
Let,
y is in unit place and x is in the tenth place
the number be =10x + y
so the sum of the digits will be x + y
if the sum of the digits subtracted from the number than the result will be
10x + y (x + y) = 9x
so the resulting number will always be the multiple of 9
so, to have 6 in unit place the value of x must be 4.
The resulting number will be 9 × 4 = 36
So all the two digit number which has 4 in tenth place, will be the number.
So total such number will be 10 ( 40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49)

(D) How many ways are there to divide 50 people into 3 groups so that each group contains members equal to a prime number?
Solution:
Here are the prime numbers less than 50: 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47
We need one even prime and two odd primes.
As summation of two odd numbers is an even number, we need an even prime number to make the sum an
even number. .
2 is the only such prime number.
Now, we need other two numbers whose sum will be = (50-2) = 48.
The result is as follows:
5+43 =48
7+41=48
11+37=48
17+31=48
19+29=48
So, the groups can be formed in 5 ways i.e.(2,5,43),(2,7,41),(2,11,37),(2,17,31),(2,19,29)

(E) A semicircular sheet of metal of diameter 28 cm is bent into an open conical cup. Find the depth and capacity of cup.
Solution:
Given,

|8
diameter = 28 cm
So, Radius, r = 28/2= 14 cm
Circumference of semicircle = πr = 14π
Now the semi-circular sheet is bent into an open conical cup.
So, slant height of conical cup = radius of semi circular sheet = 14cm
Circumference of the base of the conical cup = Circumference of the semi circular sheet
So, 2πR = 14π
R = 7 cm
Depth of conical cup = height of cone
=√(142 72) = √(196-49) = √147 =7√3
Capacity of conical cup
= (1/3) πR2h
= (1/3) × (22/7) × 72 × 7√3
= 622.37 cm3

Cos 45 = 1/√2 = Cos (A+B)
So, A+B = 45
A = 45 B (1)
Again,
Cos 30 = √3/2 = Cos (A-B)
A-B = 30
45-B -B = 30
B = 15/2
So, A = 45 15/2 = 75/2

Table = T & Chair = C
3T + 5C = 2000
21T + 35C = 14000
35C = 14000-21T (1)
Again,
5T + 7C = 3200
25T + 35C = 16000
25T + 14000 21T = 16000
T = 2000/4 = 500 TK
So,
3*500 + 5C = 2000
C = 500/5 = 100 TK
Price of 1 table & 1 Chair = 500+100 = 600 tk
Ans : 600 tk.

been to Spain and France, 17 to Spain and Germany and 25 to France and Germany, while 10 had to all three countries. How
many travelers took part in the survey?
Solution:

ATQ,
n(S) =55
Let, n(F)=53
Number of people traveled to Spain = n(S) n(G)=79
Number of people traveled to France = n(F) n(S ∩ F ∩ G) =10
Number of people traveled to Germany = n(G) n(S ∩ F)=18
n(F ∩ G) = 25
n(G ∩ S) = 17

| 14
Now,
n(S U F U G) = n(S) + n(F) + n(G) + n(S ∩ F ∩ G) n(S ∩ F) n(F ∩ G) n(G ∩ S)

(C) A shopkeeper sells two shirts at the same price. He makes 10% profit on one and loses 10% on the other. How much in
percentage does he gain or lose?
Solution:
Let,
Selling price of two shirts = x tk
Total Selling price = x + x = 2x tk
At 10% profit, cost = 100x/110
At 10% loss, cost = 100x/90
Total cost = 100x/110 + 100x/90 = 200x/99
Loss = 200x/99 2x = 2x/99
Loss percentage,
= {(2x/99) / (200x/99)} × 100
= (2x/99) × (99/200x) 100
= 1%

(summum bonum) is rationality, but our total good is a complex whole made of both rational and non-rational factors.
Rationality is the only independent (absolute) and intrinsic value which cannot be denied without self-multifarious activities.
These activities have an immediate end, viz happiness. That is, our total good consists in being rational in our search for
happiness. The happiness is the non-rational factor, since there is no logic either for or against it. We cannot logically argue why
we shall be happy or why we shall be not.

a) What decides the value and significance of life?

b) Who are capable of a critical choice?
c) What is the supreme goal of our life?
d) What does our total good consist in?
e) Why is happiness a non-rational factor?

08. Solve the following mathematical problems: 7x 10 = 70

(A) The profit of a company is given in Taka by P = 3x2 35x+50, where x is the amount in Taka spent on advertising. For what
values of x does the company make a profit?
Solution:
For the company to make a profit, P must be >0. Therefore, we require the values of x where 3x2−35x+50>0.
We know that the quadratic is positive and so has a range that extends from some P to positive infinity. What
we need to find are the roots, the values of x where P=0, which can be found using the quadratic formula:
X= {-b ± √(b2 4ac)}/2a
2
={35 ± √((-35) (4.3.50)}/2.3
=(35 ± √625)/6
=(35 ± 25)/6
X= (35 + 25)/6
Or, x= 60/6=10
Again,
X=(35 25)/6 = 10/6 = 1.6
And so P>0 when x<1.6˙and x>10. However, because x represents money spent, it can only be positive.
Therefore, the company makes a profit when the amount spent on advertising is between 0 (inclusive)
and 1.6˙ taka or more than 10
between 1.6˙ and 10 taka.

(B) An amount of Tk 7200 is spent to cover the floor of a room by carpet. An amount of Tk. 576 would be saved if the breadth
were 3 metres less. What is the breadth of the room?
Solution:
let, length = x
breadth = y
cost per square meter = z

3 m less new breadth = (y 3) m

ATQ, xz(y-3)=7200-
or, y = 37.5(i) / (ii) =Xyz/ xz(y-3) = 7200/6624y = 37.5

(C) Find the three-digit prime number whose sum of the digits is 11 and each digit representing a prime number. Justify your
answer.
Solution:
Since the sum of the 3 digits is 11 and each digit represents a prime number,
the numbers will be less than 11 .
And the 3 digits may be 2, 2, 7 or 3, 3, 5
Because 2+2+7=11 and 3+3+5=11
Now using the digit 2, 2, 7 we have prime number 227. Because other two numbers
i.e. 722 and 272 are divisible by 2 and thus are not prime
Similarly 353 is prime number other two numbers 533 & 335 is not prime number
In case of 227, sum of the digits is 2+2+7 = 11.
And 2, 2, 7 all the digits are prime.

| 18
Similarly, In case of 353, sum of the digits is 3+5+3 = 11.
And 3, 5, 3 all the digits are prime.
Answer: 227 & 353

(D) If a/(q-r) = b/(r-p) = c/(p-q) then show that, a+b+c = pa + qb +rc.

Solution:
Let,
a/(q-r) = b/(r-p) = c/(p-q) = k
So, a = k(q-r); Now,

b = k(r-p); L.H.S. = a+b+c

and c = k(p-q) = k(q-r)+ k(r-p)+ k(p-q)

And, = k(q-r+r-p+p-q)

R.H.S. = pa+qb+rc =k×0

= p×k(q-r)+ q×k(r-p)+ r×k(p-q) =0

= kpq-kpr+kqr-kpq+kpr-kqr
=0
So, L.H.S. = R.H.S. (Showed)

ATQ,

| 19
108/x = {108/(x + 3)} + 3
or, 108x + 324 = 117x + 3x2
or, 3x2 + 9x 324 = 0
2
or, x + 3x 108 = 0
or, (x + 12) (x 9) = 0
x = -12 which is not acceptable
so, x = 9

(G) Solve: x/2 + 6/y = 9, x/3 + 2/y = 4

Solution:
x/2 + 6/y = 9
or, xy +12 = 18y [multiplying by 2y]
or, xy 18y = -12
or, y = -{12/(x
x/3 + 2/y = 4
or, x/3 + 2/[-{12/(x 18)}] = 4 [from equation (i)]
or, x/3 (2x 36)/12 = 4
or, 4x 2x + 36 = 48
or, 2x = 12
or, x = 6
from equation (i)
y = -{12/(6 18)} = 1
Answer: (x, y) = (6, 1)

Mankind needs today a new code of conduct, a sort of new morality if it can be called like that. Its fundamentals are perhaps as
old as the human race but its details and setting seem to me to be new, because our environment is new. There is no escape
from putting over and again the old wine into the new bottle. Possibly that is the most dependable law to discover and his
history has taught him. Viewed from a correct perspective, a sense of unity and cohesion must be given top priority in the moral
code of modern man and woman. We may call this politics; we may call this religion or a curious mixture of both or something

complex modern environment must invariably be judged b

action is moral so far as it does this, immoral so far as it desists from it and exerts a separatist influence. In the durable interest
of man, exclusivism and isolationism will have to be effaced from our moral vocabulary. Both science and religion go against it
-living, we must make living itself possible
and living is not possible in the modern scientific set-up without an adequate and abiding sense of unity.

b) When is an action moral and immoral?
c) What must we do to exclusionism and isolationism?

06. Solve the following mathematical problems: 8 x 10 = 80

(A) The sum of three numbers in Arithmetic Progression is 30, and the sum of their squares is 318. Find the numbers.
Solution:
Let ,
The 2nd term is a
and common difference is d According to the question,

So , a-d+a+a+d=30

1st term =a-d Or, 3a=30

2nd term =a Or, a=10

3rd term =a+d So,

Again ATQ, 2nd term is =10
2 2
(10-d) +10 +(10+d) =318 2 1st term=10-d

Or, 100-20d+d2+100+100+20d+d2=318 and

Or, 2d2 = 318 300 3rd term=10+d

2
Or, 2d =18
Or, d2 = 9
Or, d= 3

So,
1st term= 10 d =10-3=7
2nd term=10 and
3rd term= 10 + d =10+3=13
answer: 7, 10,13

(B) Among 50 people, 35 can speak English, 25 can speak both English and Bangla and each can speak at least in one of the
two languages. How many of them can speak only Bangla?
Solution:

| 22
People speak English, n(E) = 35
People speak both English and Bangla, n(E ∩ B)= 25
People speak Bangla = n(B)
We know,
n(E U B) = n(E) + n(B) n(E ∩ B)
or, 50 = 35 + n(B) 25
or, n(B) = 75 35 = 40
people speak only Bangla = (40 25) = 15

(C) Length of each equal side of an isosceles triangles is 10 cm and the included angle between those two sides is 450. Find the
area of the triangle.
Solution:
We know,
the area of a triangle is one half the product of the sine of an angle and the two sides that form the angle.
Area = (1/2) bc Sin A [here, b = c]
= (1/2) (10)(10) Sin 45°
= 50 × (1/ √2)
= 35.36cm2

(D) What should be the values of a and b for which 64x3 9ax2 + 108x-b will be a perfect cube?
Solution:
We know that,
(p-q)3 = p3 3p2q + 3pq2 q3
Given,
64x3 9ax2 + 108x b
i.e
p3 = 64x3
p =4x
3p2q = 9ax2 -ii
2
108x =3pq iii
b = q3 iv
In equation (iii),
we can write in form = 3 × 4x × 32 = 3pq2
therefore q = 3
now from question (ii)
3p2q = 9ax2
3 × (4x)2 × 3 = 9 × a × x2
i.e a = 16
and b = q3 = 27

(E) Price of 3 tables and 5 chairs is Tk. 2000. Again, price of 5 tables and 7 chairs is Tk. 3200. What is the price of 1 table and 1
chair?
Solution:
price of 3×5 tables and 5×5 chairs is Tk. 2000×5 (i)x5
price of 5×3 tables and 7×3 chairs is Tk. 3200×3 (ii)x3
(i)-(ii)

| 23
price of 4 chairs is Tk 400
price of 1 chairs is Tk = 400/4 = 100 tk
price of 5 chairs is Tk = 100×5 = 500 tk
Given,
Price of 3 tables and 5 chairs is Tk. 2000
price of 5 chairs is Tk = 500 tk
So,
Price of 3 tables is Tk = 1500
Price of 1 table is Tk = 1500/3 = 500 tk
price of 1 table and 1 chair = 500 + 100 = 600 tk

(F) A committee is to consist of three members. If there are seven men and five women available to serve on the committee, how
many different committees can be formed?
Solution:
us if there is no restriction on the composition of the
committee.
Total member is = 7 + 5 = 12
Member in committee = 3
Thus, committees can be formed = 12! / [(12-3)! × 3!] = 220

(G) A and B started a business with capitals of Tk. 3000 and Tk. 4000 respectively. After 8 months, A invested Tk. 2500 more in
the business and 7 months after this, total profit becomes Tk. 980. Find the share of profit for each.
Solution:
Total business duration =( 8+7)=15 months.

=3000×8+(3000+2500)×7
=24000+38500
=62500 tk
And

Now,
the investment ratio of A: B
=62500:60000
=25:24
Sum of the ratio = 25+24= 49
So,
A gets profit=980×(25/49)=500 tk
and B gets profit=980×(24/49)=480 tk
Answer: 500 tk and 480 tk

(H) Resolve into factors: a2 + 1/a2+ 2-2a 2/a

Solution:
a2 + 1/a2+ 2-2a 2/a
or, (a + 2× a ×1/a + 1/a2) -2(a + 1/a)
2

or, (a + 1/a)2 -2(a + 1/a)

or, (a + 1/a) (a + 1/a 2)

All our languages are the result of art. Whether there is a natural language common to all mankind, has long been a matter of
investigation. Without doubt there is such a language and it is the one that children utter before they know how to talk. This
language is not articulate, but it is accentuated, sonorous, intelligible. The using of our own language has led us to neglect this,
even so far as to forget it altogether. Let us study children, and we shall soon acquire it again from them. Nurses are our
teachers in this language. They understand all their nursings say, they answer them, they hold really connected dialogues with
them and although they pronounce words, these words are entirely useless, the child understands, not the meaning of the
words but the accent which accompanies them. To the language of the voice is added the no less forcible language of gestures.

08. Solve the following mathematical problems. 7 x 10=70

(A) A novelist earned Tk. 100,000 from royalties on her book. She paid 20% income tax on the royalties. She invested Tk.
50,000 at one rate and the rest at a rate that was 1% lower, earning 6,100 taka annual interest on the two investments, What
was the lower rate?
Solution:
The novelist has the money after paying income tax is
= 100000 100000 × 20%
= 100000 20000
= 80000
Let she invests 50000 tk at r% rate
So, she invests = (80000 50000) = 30000 tk at (r 1)%
ATQ,
(50000 × 1 × r%) + {30000 × 1 × (r 1)%} = 6100
or, 500r + 300 (r 1) = 6100
or, 500r + 300r 300 = 6100
or, 800r = 6400
or, r = 6400/800 = 8
lower interest rate = (8 1) = 7%

(B) A working couple earned a total of Tk 43,520. The wife earned Tk. 640 per day, the husband earned Tk. 560 per day. If the
total number of days worked by both was 72, formulate a system of equation and solve the system to find the number of days
worked by each.
Solution:
Let,
wife worked = x days
Husband worked = (72 x) days
ATQ, 640x + 560(72 x) = 43520
or, 640x + 40320 560x = 43520
or, 80x = 3200
or, x = 40
wife works 40 days
husband works = 72 40 = 32 days

(C) A
2015 to 2017 inclusive.
Solution:
Given that,
Each year his annual salary increased by 10%
So, In 2016 his salary was
=20000 × 110/100
=22000 tk
In 2017 his salary was ,

| 27
=22000 × 110/100
=24200 tk
So total earned by him from 2015 to 2017 inclusive
= 20000 + 22000 + 24200
=66200 tk

(D) Prove that the sum of the odd numbers from 1 to 125 inclusive is equal to the sum of the odd numbers from 169 to 209
inclusive.
Solution:
Sum of the odd numbers from 1 to 125 inclusive is

Here,
a + (n 1)d = 125
or, 1 + (n 1)×2 = 125
or, 1+ 2n 2 = 125
or, n = 126/2 = 63
Now,
63/2 {2×1 + (63 1)2} = 3969
Sum of the odd numbers from 1 to 125 inclusive is

Here,
a + (n 1)d = 209
or, 169 + (n 1)2 = 209
or, 169 + 2n 2 = 209
or, n = 42/2 = 21
Now,
21/2 {2×169 + (21 1)2} = 3969
So, the sum of the odd numbers from 1 to 125 inclusive is equal to the sum of the odd numbers from 169 to
209 inclusive.

(E) If a = xyp-1, b = xyq-1, c=xyr-1 and p+q+r= 3, then prove that aq-r . br-p . cp-q = 1.
Solution:

L.H.S.= aq-r . br-p . cp-q

= (xyp-1)(q-r) . (xyq-1)(r-p) . (xyr-1)(p-q)
=x(q-r).y(p-1)(q-r) . x(r-p).y(q-1)(r-p) . x(p-q).y(r-1)(p-q)
=x(q-r)+ (r-p)+ (p-q) . y(p-1)(q-r)+ (q-1)(r-p)+ (r-1)(p-q)
(q-r+r-p+p-q)
=x .y(pq-pr-q+r+qr-r-pq+p+pr-p-qr+q)
=x0y0
=1.1
=1

(F) Solve: x/2 + y/3 = 1, x/3 + y/2 = 1

Solution:

| 28
x/2+y/3=1 (I)
x/3+y/2=1 (ii)From (I)×3 (ii)×23x/2-2x/3=3-2
or, (9x-4x)/6=1
or, 5x=6
or, x=6/5Now from equation (I),
6/10+y/3=1
or, (18+10y)/30=1
or, 10y=12
or, y=6/5so (x,y)=(6/5,6/5)

Answer the following questions. Answers must be given in chronological order.

01. Read the following passage and answer the questions below:
Unemployment represents the waste of resources. The goods and services which the unemployed might have produced are lost
forever. Producing more in the future cannot make up for the output which could have been produced if the unemployed had
been working. Unemployment has serious effects. People who lose their fobs suffer a fall in their standard of living; and so do
their dependents. Unemployment can have damaging effects on the morale of those out of work, who can be made to feel
rejected and unwanted. There is also a loss of skill; workers who are unemployed for long period of time may find it difficult to
retain their skills. One cost of unemployment takes the form of the taxation that is necessary to provide the money to pay social
security benefits to those who are out of work. If the level of unemployment could be reduced, this money might be spent on
schools, hospitals, roads and so on. Alternatively, taxation might be reduced.

07. Solve the following mathematical problems: 6 x 10 = 60

(A) A boat running upstream takes 4 hours 43 minutes to cover a certain distance, while it takes 4 hours to cover the same
distance running downstream. What is the ratio between the speed of the boat and the speed of the water current respectively?
Solution:
Let, speed of the boot = x, and
speed of the water = y

Upstream,
downstream,
x y = d/ {(4×60) + 43}
x + y = d/ (4×60)
x y = d/ 283
d = 240(x + y)
d = 283(x y)

So,
240(x + y) = 283(x y)
240x + 240y = 283x 283y
43x = 523y
x/y = 523/43
x : y = 523 : 43

(B) 3 coins are tossed at random. Show the sample space and find the probability of getting:
i. One head two tails
ii. One tall
iii. One tall and two heads.
Solution:
Total Out come for 3 coins toss:
HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT

(i) Total out comes = 8

Possible outcome for one head two tails = 3
Probability = 3/8

(ii) Total out comes = 8

Possible outcome for one tail = 3
Probability = 3/8

(iii) Total out comes = 8

Possible outcome for one tail two heads = 3
Probability = 3/8

(C) A, B and C can complete a work in 12, 15 and 25 days respectively. A and B started working together whereas C worked
with them in every third day. Find the number of days required to complete the work.
Solution:

k = 1/15

| 31
Remaining work = 1 49/50 = 1/50
A and B complete 3/20 work in 1 day
A and B complete 1/50 work in = 20/(3×50) = 2/15 days
Total day required = 6 + 2/15 = 92/15days

(D) The price of a shirt and a pant together is Tk 1300. If the price of the shirt increases by 5% and that of the paint by 10%. it
costs Tk 1405 to buy those two things. Find the respective price of a shirt and a pant.
Solution:
Cost of shirt = x tk.
Cost of paint = (1300 x) tk.
ATQ,
(x + x×5%) + {(1300-x) + (1300 x)×10%
or, (x + x/20) + {(1300 x) + (1300 x)/10} = 1405
or, 21x/20 + (14300 11x)/10 = 1405
or, 21x + 28600 22x = 28100
or, x = -500
or, x = 500
The price of Shirt = 500 tk.
And the price of paint = (1300 500) = 800 tk.

(E) Twice the width of a rectangle is 10 meters more than its length. If the area of the region enclosed by the rectangle is 600
square meters, then find its perimeter.
Solution:
Let, width of the rectangle is = x meters
The length is = (2x-10) meters
ATQ,
x(2x-10) = 600
or, 2x2 10x 600 = 0
2
or, x 5x 300 = 0
2
or, x 20x +15x 300 = 0
or, x(x 20) + 15 (x 20) = 0
or, (x + 15) (x 20) = 0
x= 15 or 20
length (-) is not acceptable
width = 20 m
length = (2×20- 10) = 30 m
perimeter = 2 × (20 + 30) = 100m

(F) A customer bought 5 pencils and 6 erasers at Tk 80. Next week, the price of each pencil increases by 20%, but the price of
erasers remains unchanged. Now, the customer buys 2 pencils and 3 erasers at Tk 39. Find the new price of each pencil.
Solution:

| 32
Let, price of each pencil = x tk and price of each eraser = y tk
Price of 5 pencils = 5x tk and price of 6 erasers = 6y tk
ATQ, 5x + 6y = 80
or, y = (80
Increased price of pencil = x + x × 20% = 6x/5
ATQ, (2 × 6x/5) + 3y = 39
or, (2 × 6x/5) + 3(80 5x) / 6 = 39
or, (12x/5) + (80 5x) / 2 = 39
or, 24x + 400 25x = 390
or, x = 10
new price of pencil = (6 × 10)/ 5 = 12 tk.

01. Read the following passage and answer the questions below:
Recently the Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation (BJMC) announced a project to develop industrial villages for diversifying jute
products in major jute producing districts. The government is also reportedly taking up a balancing modernization rehabilitation
and expansion(BMRE) projects for the state-owned jute mills at a cost of $350 million. Jute, believed to be one of the key
drivers of the economy has, no doubt, suffered much neglect over the decades due mainly to improper planning. In fact, high
prospect of this fiber as the most environment-friendly and cheaply available one, could not be made good use of stray.
Initiatives were there, but lack of concerted efforts and financing was the main impediment to materializing those as
commercially viable. However, to benefit from the project in real sense of the terms is to prepare a detailed and
comprehensive road map. And it is here that planning matters. Experts, including industry insiders, believe that one of the
crucial areas where a big chunk of funds should do is research and development. In fact, the need emerged years ago
following the commendable achievement of genome sequencing of jute plants by Bangladeshi scientists and researchers. It is
ustry can shed much of its sluggishness is by producing more
and more diversified products In keeping with consumers preferences at home and abroad. It is more about product
development, Innovation and adaptation than just producing more traditional products or dishing out funds to energize state
owned sick mills. In order for the desired diversification to take place, the government needs to work out a systematic plan
which among other things should provide ample scope for research and development

a) Why is jute considered as one of the key drivers of Bangladesh economy?

b) Explain BMRE by following the information of the passage.

d) What should be the best value of fund allocated by the government in the jute sector?

c. 3 coins are tossed at random. Construct the sample space and find the probability of getting:
(i) one head two tails
(ii) One tall
(iii) One tail and two heads

Solution:
Sample space = (HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT) = 8
Now,
(i) one head two tails = (HTT, THT, TTH) = 3
So, probability = 3/8
(ii) One tall = (HHT, HTH, THH) = 3
So, probability = 3/8
(iii) One tail and two heads = (HHT, HTH, THH) = 3
So, probability = 3/8

08. Solve the following mathematical problems: 10 x 4 = 40

(A) A senior citizen invests Tk. 50 Lac In a fixed deposit scheme at 11.5% annual interest for six months. In every six months
he withdraws Tk 2 Lac from his principal plus interest earned. What will be his principle amount to invest after two years?
Solution:
As he withdraws interest, interest amount has nothing to do with the calculation.
As he also withdraws tk 200000 from invested amount, in 2 years he withdraws total =200000 x 2 = 800000 tk.
So, after 2 years he has capital to invest =5000000-800000=4200000 tk.

(B) A square is inscribed inside a circle. What is the area of the square if the radius of the circle is 10 cm.

(C) Three numbers x, y and z are in A.P. and their sum is 30. Also, the sum of their squares is 308. Find the numbers.
Solution:
Again,
x2+y2+z2=308
Or, x2+(x+d)2+(x+2d) 2=308
Or, x2 + x2 + 2dx +d2 + x2 + 4dx +4d2 = 308
Or, 3x2 + 6dx +5d2 = 308
Let, difference = d Or, 3x2 + 6x(10-x) + 5(10-x)2 = 308
First number = x Or, 3x2 + 60x 6x2 + 5(100-20x + x2) = 308
Second number = y = x+d 2
Or, 3x + 60x 6x2 + 500 100x + 5x2 = 308
Third number = z = y+d = x+d+d = x+2d Or, 2x2 40x + 500 = 308
ATQ, 2
Or, x -20x + 250 = 154
x+y+z=30 Or, x2 -20x +96 = 0
Or, x+ x+d+ x+2d=30 Or, (x-12)(x-8) = 0
Or, 3x+3d=30 x = 12, x = 8
Or, x+d=10 x=12 not acceptable
Or, d = 10 x So, x = 8
So, d= 10 -8= 2

Now, y = 8+2 = 10
z = 8+2×2 = 12
Ans: x = 8, y = 10 & z= 12

(D) After traveling 108 km, a cyclist observed that he would have required 3 hours less if he could have travelled at a speed 3
km/hr more. At what speed did he travel?

Original speed = x km/h
New speed = (x+3) km/h
ATQ,
108/(x+3) + 3 = 108/x
Or, (3x+117)/(x+3) = 108/x
Or, 3x2 + 117x =108x + 324 = 0
Or, 3x2 + 9x 324 = 0
2
Or, x + 3x 108 = 0
2
Or, x + 12x 9x -108 = 0
Or, x(x+12) -9(x+12) = 0
Or, (x+12)(x-9) = 0
x + 12 = 0 Or, x= -12 (Not Acceptable)

Climate change may produce hundreds of millions of environmental refugees, which is an environmental justice concern.
Those refugees may be displaced by rising tides, storm damage and changes in agricultural production. Residents of low-lying
Islands and low flood-prone countries may be dislocated as sea levels rise and river floods become harder to control. Some
skeptics dispute whether the changes are entirely man-made, but the vast majority of experts believe that one of the major
causes of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, which are the primary energy source for modern societies. The
resulting gases carbon dioxide, methane, fluorocarbons, and nitrous oxide, among others are released into the atmosphere.
There, these gases combine
solar radiation contributes to increased air temperature. In this way gases function much as do the glass panes of a
greenhouse. Newly released gases will remain in the atmosphere for thirty to a hundred years; since greenhouse gas
emissions continue to rise; their buildup in the atmosphere is expected to increase over time. Automobile exhaust, along with
industrial power plants and agricultural operations, produce most of the gasses that lead to climate change. Deforestation also
contributes to the warming because there are fewer trees and other plant life to absorb carbon dioxide before it reaches the
atmosphere.

(A) A teacher has 3 hours to grade all the papers submitted by the 35 students in her class. She gets through the first 5
papers in 30 minutes. How much faster does she have to work to grade the remaining papers in the allotted time?
Solution:
Total time available: 180 minutes
Time to grade first 5 papers: 30 minutes

| 38
Rate: R1 = 5/30 = 1/6 papers per minute
Time remaining to grade remaining papers:
180 30 = 150 minutes to grade 35 5 = 30 papers
Required rate to finish on time:
R2 = 30/150 = 1/5 papers per minute
How much bigger is R2 than R1?
R2/R1 = (1/5) / (1/6) = 6/5 = 1.2
R2 = 1.2 R1 ⇒ R2 is 20% greater than R1

(B) A two digit number is four times the sum of the two digits. If the digits are reversed, the number so obtained is 18 more
than the original number. What is the original number?
Solution:
Let, one-digit number is y &
Ten-digit number is x
So, the number is 10x + y
According to question,
10x + y = 4(x + y)
Or, 10x + y = 4x + 4y
Or, x = y/2
If the digits are reversed, the new number will be,
10y + x;
According to question,
10y + x = 10x + y + 18
Or, 9y = 9x + 18
Or, 9y = 9Xy/2 + 18
Or, 9y = 36
Or, y = 4
Then, x = y/2 = 4/2 = 2.
So the number is (10 x 2) + 4 = 24

(C) Solve: x2 yx = 7, y2 + xy = 30
Solution:
x2 yx = 7 (i)
2
Or, xy = x 7
2
Or, y = (x 7)/x
Or, y = x 7/x
y2 + xy = 30 (ii)
(i) + (ii)
x2 yx + y2 + xy = 7 + 30
Or, x2 + y2 =37
Or, x2 + (x 7/x)2 = 37
Or, x2 + x2 2.x.7/x + (7/x)2 = 37
Or, 2x2 -14 + 49/x2 = 37
Or, (2x4 + 49)/x2 = 51
Or, 2x4 + 49 = 51x2
Or, 2x4 51x2 + 49 = 0
Or, 2x4 49x2 -2x2 + 49 = 0

| 39
Or, x2(2x2 49) -1(2x2 49) =0
2 2
Or, (2x 49)( x 1) = 0

2x 49 = 0
Or, 2x2 = 49
Or, x= 7/√2
Again,
x2 1=0
Or, x= 1
Now,
If x= 7/√2,
y = 7/√2 7/(7/√2)
Or, y = 7/√2 √2
Or, y= (7-2)/ √2 = 5/√2
If x = 1,
y = 1- 7/1 = 1 7 = -6
(x, y) = (7/√2, 5/√2) , (1, 6)

According to question,
I = I1 + I2
Or, 850 = (10X1Xx)/100 + (9000 x)X1X9/100
Or, 850 = 10x/100 + (8100 -9x)/100
Or, 85000 = 10x + 81000 -9x
Or, x = 4000
Then, y = 9000 4000 = 5000

=>x(x-8)-5(x-8)>=0
=>(x-8)(x-5)>=0
According to inequality,
x>=8 or x>=5
Here, x>=5 is not satisfy the equation (Let,if x>5 like---6,the result will be neg, then the equation will not be true)
So,only x>=8 can satisfy the demand
Let,if x=8, the result will equal to 0
again,if x>8,the result will remain positive.
So,the inequality is x>=8 (ans)

06. (A) A school has 40 rooms that can sit 600 people. Some rooms can sit 10 people and some can sit 20 people. What is
the ratio of the number of 10-person room to the number of 20-person room?
Solution:
Given that;
Total number of rooms=40
Total number of seats=600
Suppose,
10 people can contain such rooms = x
So, 20 people can contain such rooms = 40-x
ATQ;
x*10+(40-x)*20=600
x=20
Thus,Number of 10-person rooms = 20
& 20-Person rooms = 40-20 = 20
Hence, Required ratio = 20:20 = 1:1 (ans)

(B) Out of 85 football players, 42 have scored a goal and 54 have received a yellow card. If 5 players do not do either, what
fraction of the players scored a goal and received a yellow card as well.
Solution:
Let,
Both = x
Only goal, G = 42-x
Only Yellow,Y = 54-x
Did not have goal or yellow card = 5
Total players who have goal or yellow card = 85-5 = 80
According to Venn-Diagram,
We know;
Total = G + Y + x
=>80 = 42-x+x+54-x
=>x=16
Now,Only goal = 42-16 = 26
& Only yellow = 54-16 = 38
Thus,Goal:Yellow = 26:38 = 13:19 (ans)

03. Read the following passage and answer the questions below: 20
We can never get people to act morally by providing reasons of self-interest, because if they accept what we say and act on the
reasons given, they will only be acting self-interestedly, not morally. By refuting the claim, it would be stated that the
substance of the action, what is actually done, is more important than the motive. People might give money to help those in
extreme poverty because their friends will think better of them if they do, or they might give the same amount because they
think it is their duty. Those helped by the gift will benefit to the same extent either way. This is true but crude. It can be
made more sophisticated if it is combined with an appropriate nature and function of ethics. Ethics is a
social practice that has evolved among beings living in social groups, and it promotes ways of living that are in
the interests of individuals living in groups Ethical judgments can do this by praising and encouraging
actions in accordance with these values.

a. What the ethical argument is stated in this passage?

b. Follow the idea stated above and formulate the
definition of ethics in your own words.
c. What does the term sophisticated stand for?
d. What is the role of ethical judgments?
e. Give a suitable title for the passage.

Ans:
Bangladesh is a country of unlimited possibilities. In the last twenty years, the economic growth of Bangladesh has grown from
4.5 percent to more than 7.8 percent. At the same time, the population growth rate decreased
from 2.0 percent to 1.25 percent. Two factors have been the key driving force behind the rapid growth of the economy and the
reduction of poverty. One is the continued growth of export earnings. Another is the huge flow of income from the expatriate
Bangladeshis. Note that, Bangladesh has received more than $100 billion remittance in the last ten years. So, the policy makers
of the world consider Bangladesh as a country of rapid economic growth.

07. Solve the following mathematical problems: 7 x 10 = 70

(A) Hossain invested taka in a mutual fund which pays 10% interest and n take in a private company which pays 9 interest. He
invested Tk. 18000 and required that he receives Tk 1700 as interest. How much did he invest in each company?
Solution:
At 9% interest investment in a private company = n tk.
At 10% interest investment in a mutual fund = (18000-n) tk.
ATQ,
(18000-n)×10/100 + n×9/100 = 1700
Or, (180000-10n +9n)/100 = 1700
Or, (180000-n)/100 = 1700
Or, 180000-n = 170000
Or, n = 10000
So, At 9% interest investment in a private company = 10000 tk. And
At 10% interest investment in a mutual fund = (18000-10000) = 8000 tk.
(B) 50 daily workers can complete a culvert in 40 days. If 30 of them work daily and the rest work in every alternative day,
how many more days will be required to complete the project?
Solution:
Total work= 50×40= 2000
In 40 days, daily workers complete: 30×40=1200
Alternate workers complete: 20 × (40/2) = 400
Let,
They work for x days after 40 days.
Then, Alternate workers will work for x/2 days.
ATQ,
1200 + 400 + 30x + 20×(x/2) = 2000
Or, 1600 + 30x + 10x = 2000
Or, 40x = 400
Or, x = 400/40 = 10 days
(C) A teacher has 6 hours to grade all the papers submitted by the 35 students in his class. He gets through the first 5 papers
in 1 hour. How much faster should he work to grade the remaining papers in the allotted time?
Solution:
Working efficiency = 5 papers per hour
Time left = (6-1) = 5 hr
Question papers left = 35-5 = 30
so, new efficiency will be= 30/5 = 6 papers/hr
so, he must work= (6-5)×100/5= 20% faster

| 46
(D) A two digit number is six times the sum of the two digits. If the digits are reversed, the number so obtained is 9 less than
the original number. What is the original number?
Solution:
Let,
unit digit = y
tenth digit= x
so, the number = 10x + y
at, 1st condition,
10x + y = 6(x + y) (i)
when the digits are reversed, the number = 10y+x
so, at 2nd condition,
(10x + y)- (10y + x) = 9 ..(ii)
From eq (i)
x = 5y/4 .(iii)
From eq (ii)
x-y=1
5y/4 - y = 1
y=4
From eq (iii)
x = 5y/4
x= 5
So, the original number= 10×5 + 4 = 54
(E) Factorize: x3 21x + 20
Solution:
x3 21x + 20
Here, (x-1) is a factor.
So,
x3 - 21x + 21
= x3 x2 + x2 x - 20x + 20
2
= x (x - 1) + x(x - 1) -20(x - 1)
= (x - 1)(x2 + x - 20)
= (x - 1)( x2 + 5x 4x -20)
= (x - 1){x(x + 5) - 4(x + 5)}
= (x - 1)(x + 5)(x - 4)
(F) A maximum sized rectangular playground is made within a circular space of radius 2√41 meter. Calculate the area of the
playground if its length and width are distributed in the proportion of 4:5.
Solution:
Here, radius= 2√41
and let, length = 4x m, wide= 5x m
So, diameter = 2×(2√41) = 4√41 m
ATQ,
(4x)2 + (5x)2 = (4√41)2
Or, 41 × x2 = 16×41
Or, x2 = 16
Or, x= 4
So, area = (4×4)×(5×4) = 320 m2

| 47
(G) Two numbers x and are in GP and their sum is 30. Also the sum of their square is 468. Find the numbers.
Solution:
Let, X = a
Common ratio = r
So, Y = ar
ATQ,
X+ Y= 30
Or, a + ar =30
Or, ar = 30 a
Again ATQ,
a2 + (30 - a)2 = 468
Or, a2 + 900 - 60a + a2 =468
Or, a2 - 12a - 18a + 216 = 0
Or, a(a-12) -18(a-12) = 0
Or, (a-12)(a-18) = 0
Or, a= 12, 18
So, ar = 18, 12

Shortcomings in financial system regulation and supervision regimes are now under
intense scrutiny everywhere, following the global financial turmoil that exacted heavy
tolls in wealth destruction and recession, with particular severity in the mature
advanced economies. Ironically, it was the placid stability of the preceding several
years that lulled institutions, markets and regulators into complacency and inaction
about the mounting global imbalances and the inordinate risk build-ups in the
financial system eventually precipitating institutional failures, market freeze-ups and
severe credit crunch. The gross disregard of basic cautions in risk-taking in large
globally active financial institutions was prompted by quest of quick private gains for
small inner circles in top managements and boards, imperiling longer term viability of
the institutions and hurting interests of general shareholders and of broader citizenry
as stakeholders in the financial system.

It is not clear that the current global regulatory reform initiatives will be enough to
dissuade banks and financial institutions from risky speculative behavior that lead to
recurrent instability. A fundamental reorientation of their corporate goals and
objectives towards conducting business in socially responsible manner is perhaps
needed for this. Only such a basic reorientation can perhaps draw them away
lastingly from socially harmful unproductive speculative investments towards
inclusive financing of productive, pursuits of all population segments in all economic
sectors; harnessing and fostering creative energies of the entire working age
population. Already growing in sidelines in many developing and developed
economies, this socially responsible inclusive financing orientation has been chosen
by Bangladesh Bank as the mainstream approach for the financial sector in
Bangladesh. Initial results look promising.
