Bangladesh, the third-largest economy in the region, fared better than India and Pakistan, with the growth officially estimated at 8.1 percent in FY2018-19, said the World Bank in its Global Economic Prospects published on Thursday. On July 31 last year, Bangladesh Bank in its one year monetary policy statement (MPS) for FY2019-20 hoped to achieve the 8.2 percent GDP growth keeping the inflation rate within 5.50 percent. A solid macroeconomic framework, political stability, implementation of planned public infrastructure projects, and ongoing reforms to improve the business environment underlie this projection, said the report. In South Asian region, the growth is expected to rise to 5.5 pc in 2020, assuming a modest rebound in domestic demand and as economic activity benefits from improved business confidence and support from infrastructure investments in Bangladesh. According to the WB report, Bangladesh's exports showed signs of softening in recent months, after a substantial increase in exports to major trade partners in the last fiscal year.

M can do in 5 days =$\frac{5}{40}$=$\frac{1}{8}$ Part of the work

Remaining work = (1 - $\frac{1}{8}$) = ($\frac{8-1}{8}$) = $\frac{7}{8}$ Part

Now, N does $\frac{7}{8}$ Part of the work in = 42 days

$\therefore$1 or complete part of the work done by N in = ($\frac{42\times 8}{7}$)=48 days

Now, (M+N)'s 1 day's work = ($\frac{1}{40}+\frac{1}{48}$)= $\left(\frac{88}{40\times 48}\right)=\frac{11}{240} part$

They together do $\frac{11}{240}$ part of the work in =1 day's

$\therefore$They I or complete part of the work in = $\frac{240}{11}$ = 21 $\frac{9}{11}$ days

Let, x be the price of one shirt,

y be the price of one pair of trousers and z be the price of one hat.

According to the question,

4x + 4y + 2z = 560……….(i)

9x + 9y + 6z = 1, 290………(ii)

3x + 3y + 2z = 430……………….(ii)              [Divide all terms of equation (ii) by 3]

Now, we have [(i)-(iii))]

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{4x + 4y + 2z = 560....................\left(i\right) \\ 3x + 3y + 2z = 430...................\left(iii\right)}{\therefore x + y = 130......................\left(iv\right)} \\ Again, from equation \left(iii\right) \\ 3x + 3y + 2z = 430 \\ = 3(x + y) + 2z = 430 \\ Putting value from equation \left(iv\right)] \\ 3 \times 130 + 2z = 430 \\ \therefore z = 20 \\ \therefore x + y + z = 130 + 20 = 150 ans. \end{gathered}$$
