Q:

A jar was full with honey. A person used to draw out 20% of the honey from the jar and replaced it with sugar solution. He has repeated the same process 4 times and thus there was only 512 gm of honey left in the jar, the rest part of the jar was filled with the sugar solution. The initial amount of honey in the jar was filled with the sugar solution. The initial amount of honey in the jar was:

A) 1.25 kg	B) 1 kg
C) 1.5 kg	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1.25 kg

Explanation:

Let the initial amount of honey in the jar was K, then

$512 = K {(1 - \frac{1}{5})}^{4}$ $[∵ 20 % = \frac{20}{100} = \frac{1}{5}]$

or

$512 = K {(\frac{4}{5})}^{4}$

Therefore, K = 1250

Hence initially the honey in the jar= 1.25 kg

Q:

From a container of wine, a thief has stolen 15 liters of wine and replaced it with same quantity of water.He again repeated the same process. Thus in three attempts the ratio of wine and water became 343:169. The initial amount of wine in the container was:

A) 75 liters	B) 100 liters
C) 150 liters	D) 120 liters

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 120 liters

Explanation:

$\frac{W i n e (l e f t)}{W a t e r (a d d e d)} = \frac{343}{169}$

It means $\frac{W i n e (l e f t)}{W i n e (i n i t i a l a m o u n t)} = \frac{343}{512}$ $[∵ 343 + 169 = 512]$

Thus ,

$343 x = 512 x {(1 - \frac{15}{K})}^{3}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{343}{512} = {(\frac{7}{8})}^{3} = {(1 - \frac{15}{k})}^{3}$

=> K = 120

Thus the initial amount of wine was 120 liters.

Q:

From a tank of petrol , which contains 200 liters of petrol, the seller replaces each time with kerosene when he sells 40 liters of petrol(or mixture). Everytime he sells out only 40 liters of petrol (pure or impure). After replacing the petrol with kerosene 4th time, the total amount of kerosene in the mixture is

A) 81.92L	B) 96L
C) 118.08L	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 118.08L

Explanation:

The amount of petrol left after 4 operations = $200 \times {(1 - \frac{40}{200})}^{4} =$ 81.92

Hence the amount of kerosene = 200 - 81.92 = 118.08 liters

Q:

Have you worked with someone you didn't like? If so, how did you handle it?

Answer

Yes, I've worked with someone whom I found difficult to like as a person. However, when I focused on the skills they brought to the job, their ability to solve problems and the two things I did appreciate, slowly my attitude towards them changed. We were never friends, but we did work well together.

Q:

Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a co-worker who wasn't doing his/her fair share of the work. What did you do and what was the outcome?

Answer

I worked closely with Shilpa who, for the most part, always carried her fair share of the work load. During a stressful time, working on a project with a deadline, I realized Shilpa's contributions to the project were almost minimal. I made the decision to wait until after the project to speak with her. I'm glad I did, because I learned she'd been going through a very tough time in her personal life and she appreciated my willingness to go the extra mile so the project was completed on time. As a result, our ability to work well together significantly increased.
