Q:

Three partners shared the profit in a business in the ratio 4:6:8. They had partnered for 12 months, 8 months and 6 months respectively. What was the ratio of their investments?

A) 4:6:8 B) 4:7:8
C) 4:8:16 D) 4:9:16
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 4:9:16

Explanation:

Let their investments be Rs. x for 12 months, Rs. y for 8 months and Rs. z for 6 months respectively.

Then, 12x : 8y : 6z = 4 : 6 : 8

Now, 12x/8y = 4/6   <=>   9x=4y   <=>   y=9x/4

And, 12x/6z = 4/8   <=>   4x=z     <=>    z=4x

Therefore, x : y: z  =  x : 9x/4: 4x  =  4 : 9 : 16

Q:

Tell us about a time when you missed a significant deadline

Answer

Tell us about a time when you missed a deadline.


(or)


Let's discuss a time when you missed a significant deadline.


If you answer something like "You never missed a deadline". Most interviewers will immediately conclude you are not experienced and may also feel you are lying. 


Approach - It is absolutely necessary to accept that you have missed a deadline and give reasons how you resolved and what you learned from it. This will demonstrate your experience.


You could say in one of the first projects earlier in your career you missed an important deadline and made the boss very upset. It was a great learning experience and after doing some introspection, you realized, you could have done better planning, prioritization and communication. Now, you use special tools, processes and methods to address these issues. Now your team, colleagues and management are always up to date so no surprises arise on meeting deadlines. 


Below are few things you may emphasize on in your response...


Effective planning


Procedural Improvements


Better Prioritization


Open communication


Better Status reporting
