1. Divisibility:
Divisibility by 2: Last digit must be ‘0’ or ‘Even Number.’ Example: 702 or 700 or 544 or 520
Divisibility by 4: Last two digits are must be divisible by ‘4’ Example: 520 or 816 or 928 or 332
Divisibility by 8: Last three digits are must be divisible by ‘8’ Example: 20104 or 5896
Divisibility by 5: Last digit must be ‘0’ or ‘5’ Example: 320 or 425 or 555 or 55
Divisibility by 25: Last two digits are must be divisible by ‘00’ or ‘25’ Example: 775 or 425 or 575
Divisibility by 3: The summation of all digits is must be divisible by 3.
Example: 318 = 3+1+8 = 12, which is divisible by 3
Divisibility by 9: The summation of all digits is must be divisible by 9.
Example: 288 = 2+8+8 = 18, which is divisible by 9
Divisibility by 6: The summation of all digits is must be divisible by 3 and if the number is ‘Even’.
Example: 288 = 2+8+8 = 18, which is divisible by 6
Divisibility by 7: Multiply the last digit by 2 and subtract the product from the rest of the number.
Example: 442 = 2 * 2 = 4, now 44 - 4= 40, but 40 is not divisible by 7
Divisibility by 13: Multiply the last digit by 4 and add the product with the rest of the number.
Example: 442 = 2 * 4 = 8, now 44 + 8= 52, which is divisible by 13
Divisibility by 11: The difference between the summation of Odd and Even placed numbers is must
be ‘0’ or ‘11’. Example: 4653. Odd places = 4+5 = 9; Even Places = 6+3 = 9, Difference of Even-odd
= 9-9 = 0, So 4653 is divisible by 11
Divisibility by 17: Subtract 5 times the last digit from the rest. Example: 221=> 22 − 1 * 5 = 17
Divisibility by 19: Add two times the last digit to the remaining number.
Example: 171=> 17 + 1 * 2 = 19

AGE
Selected Preli Math Problems
1. If two times of the daughter’s age in years is included to the mother’s age, the total is
70 and if two times of the mother’s age is included to the daughter’s age, the total is 95.
So, the mother’s age is? A. 40yrs B. 50yrs C. 60yrs D. 30yrs
Solution:
APQ, Cond 01: 2y+x = 70….. (i)
Cond 02: 2x+y = 95 => y = 95-2x….. (ii)
Putting the value of y in eqn (i) => 2(95-2x)+x = 70 => 190 – 4x+x = 70 => 3x = 120 => x = 40yrs
2. Liam's age is 5 years more than twice Gita's age. Zoe's age is 13 years less than 10 times
Gita's age. If Zoe is 3 times as old as Liam, how old is Liam?
A. 20yrs B. 30yrs C. 12yrs D. 19yrs
Solution: APQ, Zoe is 3 times as old as Liam,
So, (10x-13) = 3(2x+5) => 10x-13 = 6x+15 => 4x = 28 => x = 7 years
So, Liam’s age = 2x+5 = 2*7+5 = 19 years
3. The ratio of the present ages of Pranav and Qureshi is 4:5. Five years ago, the ratio of
their ages was 7:9. Find their present ages? (In years)
A. 40, 50 B. 18, 25 C. 40, 60 D. 20, 25
Solution: Let, their present ages be 4X and 5X.
5 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 7:9
4X − 5 7
then 5X − 5
=9 => X = 45 - 35 ⇒ X = 10 Their present ages are: 40, 50.
Alternative Solution: (Option Test)
Let, Option A => Present Age = 40, 50; So Present Ratio = 4:5 (Matched)
Again, 5years ago, their Age = 40-5, 50-5; So Present Ratio = 35:45 = 7:9 (Matched)
4. A man said to his son, "I was one-third of your present age when you were born". If
the present age of the man is 48 years, find the present age of the son?
A. 25.7 years B. 28 years C. 29.3 years D. 36 years
Solution: Present age of the son be x; he was born x years ago.
The age of the man was: (48 - x); His age when the son was born should be equal to 1/3 of x.
x
(48 - x) = 3 ⇒ x= 36yrs
Alternative Solution: (Option Test)
Let the son’s age = 36 years
He was born 36 years ago. That time father’s age = 36*1/3 = 12years
Now, After 36years, Father’s present age = 48 years and son’s age = 36years (Matched)
5. The ratio of the father's age to the son's age is 3:1. The product of their ages is 147. The ratio
of their ages after 5 years will be? A. 13:6 B. 6:13 C. 6:7 D. 13:12
Solution:
APQ, Cond 01: x*3x = 147 => 3x2 = 147 => x2 = 49 => x = 7years
ratio of their ages after 5 years, (3x+5) : (x+5) = (3*7+5) : (7+5) = 26:12 = 13: 6

Profit & Loss

Basic Formula
Cost Price:
The price, at which an article is purchased, is called its cost price, abbreviated as C.P.
Selling Price:
The price, at which an article is sold, is called its selling prices, abbreviated as S.P.
Profit or Gain: If S.P. is greater than C.P., the seller is said to have a profit or gain.
Loss: If S.P. is less than C.P., the seller is said to have incurred a loss.
▪ Gain = (S.P.) - (C.P.)
▪ Loss = (C.P.) - (S.P.)
Loss or gain is always count on C.P.
Gain Percentage: (Gain %) Marked Price or List Price (MP or LP) and
Gain ∗ 100 discount: Marked price is the price that is
Gain % =
C.P marked on the product.
Loss Percentage: (Loss %) However, if the seller can decide to give
Loss ∗ 100 discounts to the buyer, then the actual selling
Loss % =
C.P price might be different from the marked price.
Selling Price: (S.P.) – When Profit If there is no discount, the marked price is the
100 + Gain %
SP = * C.P same as the selling price.
100 MP – SP
Selling Price: (S.P.) – When Loss Discount Price = MP

1. A store usually sells a certain item at 40% profit. One week the store has a sale, during
which the item is sold for 10% less than the usual price. During the sale, what is the
percent profit the store makes on these items?
A. 20% B. 26% C. 31% D. 40%
Solution: Let the CP of item = Tk. 100
Given, Profit on that item = 40%
100∗140
So SP/usual SP of item = 100
= Tk. 140
At 10% less, the Reduced SP of item = 90% of 140 = Tk. 126
126−100
% gain/profit = 100

2. A shirt was sold at 6% profit. If the purchase price was 4% less and the selling price
was Tk. 4 more, the profit would be 12.5%. What was the purchase price of the shirt?
A. Tk. 300 B. Tk. 400 C. Tk. 100 D. Tk. 200
Solution: Let the cost price is Tk. 100
At 6% profit, selling price = Tk. 106
At 4% less, cost price = Tk. 96 and earn 12.5% profit so, selling price= 96 +96*12.5%= Tk. 108
So, at 4% less cost price, profit is 108-106= Tk. 2
When earning is Tk. 2 more the cost of the item is Tk. 100
So, when earning is Tk. 4 more cost is 100 * 2 = Tk. 200
3. A company's profits have doubled for each of the 4 years it has been in existence. If the
total profits for the last 4 years were Tk. 60 Lacs, what will the profits in the first year of

Solution: Let, Profit for 1st Year be x
Profit for 2nd Year be 2x
Profit for 3rd Year be 4x
Profit for 4th Year be 8x
So, Total profit = x+2x+4x+8x = 15x

respectively. If he purchased a total of 11 pens and pencils for Tk. 200, how many pens
did he purchased? A. 6 pens B. 7 pens C. 8 pens D. 10 pens
Solution: Let, the trader purchased x number of pens and (11-x) number of pencils.
According to the question,
25x + 10(11-x) = 200
Or, 25x + 110 - 10x = 200 => 15x = 200 – 110 => 15x = 90 ∴ x = 6pens
2. Mr. Hasan has few notes of Tk. 10 and Tk. 50. A total of his 150 notes amount to Tk.
5100. What is the number of each kind of note?
A. 70, 80 B. 60, 90 C. 90, 50 D. 40, 20
Solution: Let, the number of 10 taka notes be x.
So, the number of 50 taka notes be (150-x)
According to the question,
10x+50(150-x) = 5100 => 10x+7500-50x = 5100 => -40x = -2400 => x = 60
The number of Tk. 10 notes = 60 and Tk. 50 notes = 150-60 = 90.
3. A man has Tk. 480 in the denominations of one-taka notes, five-taka notes and ten-
taka. The number of notes of each denomination is equal. What is the total number of
notes that he has? A. 30 B. 90 C. 120 D. 60
Solution: Let, number of notes of each denomination be x.
According to the question,
x + 5x + 10x = 480 => 16x = 480 ∴ x = 30.
∴ Total number of notes = 3x = 3*30= 90.
4. The sum of a race time of two runners is 170 seconds. One of the runners took ten
seconds less twice the other to complete the race. What is the race time of each runner?
A. 60s, 120s B. 120s, 90s C. 60s, 110s D. 120s, 50s
Solution: Let, one runner takes x sec and the other runner takes (2x-10) sec
According to the question,
x+2x - 10 =170 => 3x = 170 + 10 => 3x = 180 ∴ x = 60
∴ One runner takes = 60 sec and other runner takes = 2*60-10 = 110 sec
5. Karim and Rahim have equal amount of money. Radha has half of Rahim’s money and

A. Tk. 36 B. Tk. 50 C. Tk.40 D. Tk. 60
Solution: Let, Karim and Rahim each has = Tk. 4x
1 1
So, Radha has = 2 of 4x = Tk. 2x and Amena has = 2 of 2x = Tk. x
According to the question,
(x+2x+4x+4x+1) = 100 => 11x = 100-1 => 11x= 99 ∴ x = 9 ∴ 4x = 36

Formula (2): Future value = P(1 + 100∗𝑚)n*m Formula (3): A= [ P * (1+ 100) x (1+ 100)]
Here, m = yearly number of installments
When interest compounded annually, m=1
When interest compounded quarterly, m=4
When interest compounded semi-annually/half yearly, m=2
When interest compounded monthly, m = 12
Trick: If n = 2 years ----- 2:1; 3years ---- 3:3:1; 4years----- 4:6:4:1

2. Find the amount of Tk.50000 after 2 years, compounded annually; the rate of interest
being 8% p.a. during the first year and 9% p.a. during the second year. Also, find the
compound interest.
Solution: Here, P = Tk.50000, r= 8% p.a. and q= 9% p.a.
𝑟 𝑞
Using the formula, A= [ P * (1+ 100) x (1+ 100)]

participants of conference room speak Bangla?
𝟑 𝟒 𝟕 𝟒
A. 𝟓 B. 𝟓 C. 𝟖 D. 𝟕
Solution: Let, male participant be 6x and female be 4x.
Total participant = 6x +4x = 10x
Male Bangla speakers = 2/3 of 6x = 4x and female Bangla speakers =1/2 of 4x = 2x

of citizens voted during their election?
𝟐𝟏 𝟐𝟏 𝟐𝟐 𝟏𝟏
A. 𝟒𝟗 B. 𝟓𝟎 C. 𝟒𝟗 D. 𝟒𝟗
Solution: Let, total number of male = x and total number of female = y
So, male voted = 60% of 70% of x = 0.6*0.7* x = 0.42x
And female voted = 70% of 60% of y = 0.7*0.6*y = 0.42y
Total citizen = x+y
Total citizen voted = 0.42x+ 0.42y = 0.42 (x+y)
