Analyst Interview Questions and Answers

Q:

If you had the chance to start your career over again, what would you do differently ?

Answer

This depends on several factors. Different Individuals have different answers for it.
You can answer as - " I will most likely be involved in a different but still related career path; something to do with the creative side. If I were to start over I would attempt to get myself to specialize in one area as a young man. It’s very interesting to follow one’s interests all at the same time, but you don’t get anywhere very quickly this way. By pursuing lots of interests all at the same time, it takes a long, long time to acquire professional level skills."

Q:

If y/(x - z) = (y + x)/z = x/y then find z : y : x ?

A) 1:2:3	B) 3:2:4
C) 4:3:2	D) 2:3:4

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3:2:4

Explanation:

Given, y/(x - z) = (y + x)/z = x/y
$y z = x y + x^{2} - y z - x z . . . . (1)$
Also $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{y}{x - z}$ $\Rightarrow x^{2} - x z = y^{2} . . . . (2)$
Using (1) and (2), we get yz = xy - yz + $y^{2}$
2yz = xy + $y^{2}$
2z = x + y
Only option (B) satisfies the equation.

Q:

If x is a whole number, then x²(x² - 1) is always divisible by ?

A) 4	B) 8
C) 12	D) None

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12

Explanation:

we can do this by trial and error method.

Putting x = 2,we get 2²(2² - 1) = 12.
checking with other integers, the above equation always gives a value which is a multiple of 12,
So, x²(x² - 1) is always divisible by 12.

Q:

If $\log_{7} (2)$ = m, then $\log_{49} (28)$ is equal to ?

A) 1/(1+2m)	B) (1+2m)/2
C) 2m/(2m+1)	D) (2m+1)/2m

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) (1+2m)/2

Explanation:

$\log_{49} (28) = \frac{1}{2 \log_{7} (7 \times 4)}$

= $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} (2 \log_{7} (2))$
= $\frac{1}{2} + \log_{7} (2)$
= $\frac{1}{2} + m$
= $\frac{1 + 2 m}{2}$ .

Q:

If x and y are the two digits of the number 653xy such that this number is divisible by 80, then x+y is equal to ?

A) 5	B) 4
C) 3	D) 2

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2

Explanation:

Since 653xy is divisible by 5 as well as 2, so y = 0.
Now, 653x0 must be divisible by 8.
So, 3x0 must be divisible by 8. This happens when x = 2
x + y = (2 + 0) = 2.
