Q 1: Interviewer: There is one scooter which has 2 tyres
and one Stepney/spare (meaning 3 tyres). Each tyre can run up to max 5 km. How
long will the scooter run till?
Q11: Interviewer let’s say you are in Bangalore and board a flight for Delhi. On which side would you sit to avoid sunlight?
say set 1 - 1, 2, 3, 4
set 2 - 5, 6, 7, 8
set 3 - 9, 10 ,11, 12
set 4 - 13,14,15,16
now I will take no balls from set 1, 1 ball each from each box of set 2, 2 balls each from each box of set 3, and all balls of set 4
so total balls I have taken = 0 + 4+8+12 = 24
and will weight all of them together now there are 4 possibilities of outcomes
1) 24kg i.e. all balls were 1kg
2) 25kg i.e. 1 ball is 2kg
3) 26kg i.e. 2 balls are 2 kg
4) 27kg i.e. 3 balls are 2kg
and whatever the outcome be that will tell me which set contains my overweight box. let’s say my outcome was 26kgs now since we have 2 balls of kg so it has to be set 3
so now I will keep all the balls back and take no ball from box 9, 1 ball from box 10, 2 balls from box 11, 3 balls from box 12
total balls = 0+1+2+3 =6
now there are again 4 possible outcome
1) 6kg i.e. no 2kg ball
2) 7kg i.e. 1 2kg ball
3) 8kg i.e. 2 2kg balls
4) 9kg i.e. 3 2kg balls
now if our outcome was 7kg we know that box 10 is our culprit ;)
So conclusion - maximum number of chances required = 2
Here's a final suggestion to you!
Keep calm, think wisely and give your answers patiently and finally-Everything is going to be ok in the end!
Ans: Candidate:First run 2.5 km and change the 1st tyre with Stepney. Now km remained in 1st
tyre: 2.5 km, 2nd tyre: 2.5 km, Stepney : 5 km
Again run for 2.5 km and this time change 2nd tyre with 1st tyre: Now km remained in 1st tyre: 2.5 km, 2nd tyre :0 km ,Stepney : 2.5 km.
Now run 2.5 km with remaining 1st tyre and Stepney.
Again run for 2.5 km and this time change 2nd tyre with 1st tyre: Now km remained in 1st tyre: 2.5 km, 2nd tyre :0 km ,Stepney : 2.5 km.
Now run 2.5 km with remaining 1st tyre and Stepney.
Total: 2.5+2.5+2.5=7.5
Q2: ( ) + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) = 30
This is what you have for the equation. The
following are the numbers that you can use to fill in the brackets: 1, 3, 5, 7,
9, 11, 13 and 15. You can repeat the numbers if required. The resulting sum
should be 30.
Ans: There is no mention if you can use sign or not
and thus the only possible way to get this is as follows: (15 - 9) + (13 - 7) +
(7 - 1) + (9 - 1) + (13 - 9). If you solve inside the brackets, you will get
the following equation 6 + 6 + 6 + 8 + 4. Adding all these numbers will give
you 30.
Q3: By using only one straight line, can you make
the equation correct. 5+5+5=550?
Ans: Draw a tilted line on 1st plus (+) operator, +
will become 4. The equation then becomes true: 545+5=550.
Q4: Can you name three consecutive days without
using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?
Ans: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.
Ps. yes! you answered right!
Ps. yes! you answered right!
Q4: This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to
just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so
ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact,
nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about
it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you
might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!
Ans: The letter 'e', which is the most common letter
used in the English language, does not appear even once in the paragraph.
Q5: Twins (Adarsh and Anupam) were born in May but
their birthday is in June. How's this possible?
Ans: May is the name of the town.
.
Q6: James bond was pushed out of an airplane
without any parachute. He survived. How?
Ans: The plane was on the runway.
Q7: Where would Lord Rama have celebrated his
“First Diwali”?
Ans: People will start thinking of Ayodhya, Mithila
(Janak's place), Lanka etc. But the logic is, Diwali was a celebrated as a mark
of Lord Krishna killing Narakasura. In Dusavataar, Krishnavathaar comes after
Raamavathaar. So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated Diwali at all!
Q8: You need to convert WARM into COLD in
exact four steps by changing a letter at a time in such a way that the
resultant word makes sense.
Ans: WARD
WORD
CORD
COLD
Q9: You have a sheet of paper. As you can see
there are two surfaces on it. You are locked in a room and have NOTHING with
you. Convert this 2 surface sheet into a single surface.
Ans: Candidate picked up the sheet and made a paper
ball out of it as it resembles a sphere and sphere has only one surface.
Q 10: Interviewer: Take
a look at the poster behind me. Notice there is a beautiful girl, a bottle of
expensive wine, and an expensive car; if you could only choose one of the three
items, which would you choose and why?
Ans: Candidate: I
briefly looked at the poster, which I now know was created by photographer Rick
McBride for Ferrari that featured a nude woman on her side darkly lit
where you could only see the outline of her body’s side, a bottle of fine wine,
and a Ferrari 308GTB. Underneath it were the words, “Decisions, Decisions.”
“That’s simple,” I said. “I’d choose the car because
if you can afford a Ferrari you can definitely afford the bottle of wine and
you’ll always attract beautiful girls with a lifestyle like that.”
Q11: Interviewer let’s say you are in Bangalore and board a flight for Delhi. On which side would you sit to avoid sunlight?
Ans: Candidate - Sir, the plane will fly from south to
north and the sun rises in the east. So, if I board the flight before 12 PM, I
would sit on the left side.
Q12: How to
divide 17 camels among 3 children such that elder one gets half of camels,
middle one gets 1/3 share of camels and smallest one gets 1/9
Ans: Add another camel, total=18
elder son: (1/2)18=9
second son :( 1/3)18=6
youngest son :( 1/9)18=2
now, 9+6+2=17
take back your camel.
elder son: (1/2)18=9
second son :( 1/3)18=6
youngest son :( 1/9)18=2
now, 9+6+2=17
take back your camel.
Q13: A lady buys goods worth Rs.200 from a shop. (Shopkeeper
selling the goods with zero profit). The lady gives him Rs.1000 note. The
shopkeeper gets the change from the next shop and keeps 200 for himself and
returns rs.800 to d lady. Later the shopkeeper of the next shop comes with the
1000rs note saying "duplicate" and takes his money back. “How much
LOSS did the shopkeeper face?”
Ans The answer is 1000. The only loss the shopkeeper
faces is when he realizes the Rs.1000. note is counterfeit. Before that, he's
in no loss. So he only loses Rs.1000.

Q15: Interviewer There are 16 boxes in a room, each of
which has 3 balls identical in shape and size. Fifteen of the boxes contain 1
kg balls and one of the 16 boxes contains 2 kg balls. You are given a digital
weight measuring machine and marker.
Ans: Candidate:First I will number
the boxes 1 - 16 then I will put the box number on each ball
then I will divide the 16 boxes in 4 setssay set 1 - 1, 2, 3, 4
set 2 - 5, 6, 7, 8
set 3 - 9, 10 ,11, 12
set 4 - 13,14,15,16
now I will take no balls from set 1, 1 ball each from each box of set 2, 2 balls each from each box of set 3, and all balls of set 4
so total balls I have taken = 0 + 4+8+12 = 24
and will weight all of them together now there are 4 possibilities of outcomes
1) 24kg i.e. all balls were 1kg
2) 25kg i.e. 1 ball is 2kg
3) 26kg i.e. 2 balls are 2 kg
4) 27kg i.e. 3 balls are 2kg
and whatever the outcome be that will tell me which set contains my overweight box. let’s say my outcome was 26kgs now since we have 2 balls of kg so it has to be set 3
so now I will keep all the balls back and take no ball from box 9, 1 ball from box 10, 2 balls from box 11, 3 balls from box 12
total balls = 0+1+2+3 =6
now there are again 4 possible outcome
1) 6kg i.e. no 2kg ball
2) 7kg i.e. 1 2kg ball
3) 8kg i.e. 2 2kg balls
4) 9kg i.e. 3 2kg balls
now if our outcome was 7kg we know that box 10 is our culprit ;)
So conclusion - maximum number of chances required = 2
