A dishonest merchant makes a 15% profit at the time of buying ans a 10% loss at the time of selling the goods he trades . By doing so if the merchant makes a profit of 3,500 on selling the particular goods, what was the real cost of the goods the merchant sold?
Let, the cost price of the goods is 100 Tk.
By this 100 Tk. he actually bought goods @ 15% profit = (100+15% of 100) Tk. = 100+15=115 tk.
At 10% loss,
Selling price of the goods be= Tk.
His overall gain = 103.5-100=3.5 Tk.
When gain is 3.5 Tk. Cost price =
LCM of 2 and 3 is 6
Work done in first 6 days =
Remaining work =
Next 3 days work done by them=
Remaining work after 9 days =
In 10th days, B will help A, thus work done by them after 9 days=
Remaining work=
In 11th days, A alone can do part of work which is the amount of remaining work.
Total 11 days will be required to complete the whole work. ans.
Two trains , one from Dhaka and another from Chittagong simultaneously started to proceed towards each other at the speed of 16km and 21 km per hour respectively. As the trains met each other it was found that one train traveled 60 km more than the other. Calculate the distance between Dhaka to Chittagong.
In 1 hour, one train goes (21-16)= 5 km more than another.
Now, In 1 hour total distance covered by them = (16+21) km = 37 km
If distance difference is 5 km then total distance = 37 km
If distance difference is 60 km then total distance = km
Distance between Dhaka and Chittagong is 444 km. (ans.)
Sakib and Labib individually borrowed different amount of money from a particular bank on the same day at rate of 20% simple interest . The total money paid by Sakib in 3 years as principal plus interest was the same amount Labib paid 2 years as participial plus interest. Find the rating of their individual loan amount.
Let, Shakib borrowed Tk. and Lahib borrowed y Tk.
So, Shakib's principal + Interest of 3 years = Labib's principal + Interest of 2 years
ans. Ratio of Shakib & Tabib's loan amount is 7. 8.
The perimeter of a square is equal to the perimeter of rectangle. The length of the rectangle is three times longer than its width having total area of 1,200 sq meters. What will be the total cost if the total area of the square is covered is covered with stones having a dimension of 50 centimeter square each and if Tk. 50 is charged for placing as stone in the square?
Let, width of the rectangle be x meter
Length of the rectangle be 3x meter
According to question,
The perimeter of rectangle will be meter
Perimeter of the square, 4a=160
One side of the square will be 40 meter
Area of the square will be = (40 x 40) = 1,600m2
Now, length of 1 stone is 50cm =
Area of one stone will be =
Number of stone required to cover the square = 1,600+0.25=6,400 pieces
Total amount of taka required at 50 tk per stone is Tk. ans.
