1.A man deposits 5000 tk at 5% annual interest for six months. In every six months he withdraws
tk 500 from his principal plus interest earned. What is the total amount of interest he received?
Solution: Semi annual, so Interest rate= 5/2%=2.5%
Total Interest= 2.5%*5000 + 2.5%*4500 + 2.5%*4000 + 2.5%*3500 + 2.5%*3000 + 2.5%*2500
+ 2.5%* 2000 + 2.5%*1500 + 2.5%*1000 + 2.5%*500
=2.5%*27500
=687.5 Tk.
2.A man interest and wages from his investment tk 5000. If he invests double then the wages
increased 50% and total amount is tk 8000. What is his actual income in terms of wages and
interest?
Solution:
Let, Investment be X and Wages be Y
ATQ.

1
X +Y= 5000 ....(i)
2X + 1.5 Y= 8000....(ii)
Now, 2*(i)-(ii)=>
we get,
x=1000 and Y=4000
Ans: Investment= 1000 and wages=4000
3.20 men can finish a work in 30 days. After how many days can 5persons leave the work and
the remaining work can be finished in 35 days?
Solution:
20 men can do in 30 days
1 man can do 30*20=600
Let,

https://www.facebook.com/groups/bcsspotlightBCS Spotlight
20men can do in X days
1 men can do in 20 days
Again,
20-5=15men can do in 35-X days
1 men can do in 15(35-x) days

ATQ,
20x + 15(35-x)=600
X= 15 (Ans)
4. A man goes to his office at a certain time. If his waking speed is 5kmh then he is 7 minutes
late. When his speed is 6kmh he reaches 5minutes before. How far his office from his house?
Solution:
Let, total distance be X km
ATQ,
x/5 -7/60 =x/6 +5/60 [Time=distance/Speed]
x= 6 km

5.In a mixture the ratio of apples, peaches and grapes is 6:5:2. If the total mixture is 39 pounds
then what is the difference between apples and grapes?
Solution:
Let, Apple, Peaches and Grapes 6x, 5x and 2x respectively.
Apple=39* (6x/13x)=18
Grapes= 39*(2x/13x)=6
Difference= 18-6=12 (Ans)

1) The salaries of Lamia and Farzin are in the ratio 7:5 and the total of their salaries is Tk 12000.
If their annual increments are Tk 200 and Tk.150 respectively, what will be the ratio of their
salaries after one year?
Solution:
Let,

https://www.facebook.com/groups/bcsspotlightBCS Spotlight
L = 7x
F= 5x
A/Q,
7x+5x = 12000
12x = 12000
x = 1000
So,
7x= 7*1000 = 7000
5x = 5*1000 = 5000
Now, required ratio = (7000+200): (5000+150)
= 7200: 5150 = 144:103
Answer: 144:103
2) A man goes upstream at 10 km/hr to a place and back down stream to same point at 6 km/ hr.
what is the average speed in the journey?
Solution:

3
Ans : 7.5 km/hr
3) A man is standing on a railway bridge which is 180 m long. He finds that a train crosses the
bridge in 20 seconds but himself in 8 seconds. Find the length of the train.
Solution:
let, lengh of the train x
now,
x/8 = x+ 180/20 ( Considering, Speed equal in both case)
hence solving equation
x = 120
speed = 120/8* 18/5 = 54
Ans : 120 m and 54 kmph
4) The sum of ages of the Father and Son is 50 years. when the ages of the son will be equal to
the present age of the father, the sum of their ages will be 102 years. Find the age of Father and

https://www.facebook.com/groups/bcsspotlightBCS Spotlight
Son?
Solution:
Let,
Age of Father = X
Age of Son = x -50
Again,
When age of son will x, the age of father will = x + ( X - (50-x)) = 3x -50
Now,
3x-50+ x = 102
x = 38
Father's age = 38
Son's age = 50-38 = 12
5) By selling a table for tk 39, gain is as much as percent as its cost. What is cost price?
Solution:
Suppose,

4
Cost price = x
Gain = x%
atq,
x+x%of x = 39
x+x^2/100 = 39
100x+x^2 = 3900
x^2+100x-3900 = 0
x^2+130x-30x -3900= 0
(x+130)(x-30) = 0
x= -130 ( price can't be negative)
or , X= 30
Ans:30 taka

United Commercial Bank Limited Probationary Officer - 2017(17-02-2017)
1: Mr X asked to construct a road of 1920 meters in 120 days. He appointed 160 workers and
find that in 24 days only 1/8 portion of work has been finished. How many additional number of
workers would be needed in order to completing the whole work in time?
Solution:
Remaining work = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8
Remaining number of days = 120-24 = 96
to do 1/8 of the work in 24 days, he needs = 160 workers
to do 7/8 of the work in 24 days, he needs = 160*7 workers
to do 7/8 of the work in 96 days, he needs = 160*7*24/96 workers = 280 workers.
additional workers needed = 280-160 = 120.
ans: 120.
2: The simple interest on a sum of money will be Tk.600 after 10 years. If the principal is trebled
after 5 years will be the total interest at the end of the tenth year?
Solution:Interest of 10 years = 600 tk
interest of 1 year = 600/10 = 60 tk

5
if the principal is trebled, the interest will also be trebled.
So, total interest in 10 years = (interest in first 5 years) + (interest in next 5 years) = (60×5) +
(60×5×3) = 1200 tk
ans: 1200 tk.

1.A man sells an article at a profit of 25% if he had bought it 20% less and sold it for Tk. 10.50
less he would gained 30%,find the cost price of the article?
Solution:
Let The C.P be Tk. x
Then S.P=x+x*25%=1.25x
When C.P 20% reduced,new cost=x-x*20%=0.80x
New S.P=0.80x+0.80x*30%=1.04x

ATQ,
1.25x-1.04x=10.50
x=50
2.A and B can do a piece of work in 18 days,B and C can do it in 24 days.A and C can do it in 36
days.In how many days will A,B and C finish it together and separately.
Solution:
By adding,we get
In1day 2(A+B+C)work=(1/18+1/24+1/36)=1/8 portion
In 1 day (A+B+C)=1/16
So A,B and C together can finish the work 16 days.
In 1 day A work=(A+B+C)-(B+C)=1/16-1/24=1/48
A alone can finish the work 48 days
In 1day B work =(A+B+C)-(A+C)=1/16-1/36=5/144
B alone can finish the work 144/5 days
In 1 day C work=(A+B+C)-(A+B)=1/16-1/18=1/144
C along can finish 144 days.

6
Ans: A=48 days,B=144/5 days,C=144 days

The rate of the stream in Q kmph and the distance is D km
Atq, p+q=D/3........(.i)
and p-q=D/5........(ii)
(i)+(ii)
2p=8D/15
p=4D/15

A lamp is manufactured to sell for $35.00,which yields a profit of 25% of cost.If the profit is to
be reduced to 15% of cost,what will be the new retail price of the lamp?
Solution:

8
Let,the C.P of the lamp is $100
Now,at 25% profit the S.P=$(100+25)=$125
If S.P $125 then C.P=$100
If S.P $35 theb C.P=$100*35/125=$28
Again,at 15% profit The S.P or Retail Price=$(100+15)=$115
If C.P $100 then ratail price=$115
If C.P $28 then retail price=$115*28/100=$32.20
