adi B Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 3) make it jump in a big pool ,archimedes principle :P
Sidhoni Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 40.Out of 25 horses, pick the fastest 3 horses. In each race, only 5 horses can run at the same time. What is the minimum number of races required? 6? First they will run in heats of 5 each and top 5 to race off to pick top 3. Is it that simple though?

Yoda-esque Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 4.How do you weigh an elephant without using a weigh machine? (IBM) You can solve this using Archimedes principle. Put the elephant in a huge pool of water; the amount of water displaced is equal to the weight of the elephant. :cantstop:
panesarv Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 why ? because people were googling the answers beforehand :cantstop: Because they are not a good predictor of job success.
velu Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 OK.. I googled.. Floating object will displace the volume equivalent to it's weight :icflove: Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
punjabi_khota Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 I don't think Archimedes principle helps here...A 1000 pound elephant or a 10,000 pound elephant with same volume as 1000 pound elephant will displace equal volume of water if completely submerged. And thats not even the principle, that is just common sense.

If an elephant completely displaces water equivalent to its weight, then it has zero buoyancy which not possible according to the basic laws of fluid dynamics.

That's what the Greek guy said Looks like it ll displace proportionately Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
Sachinism Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Google is stopping the practice of asking such questions. I thought they already have after finding out they don't achieve much anyway
Params7 Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 I wouldn't want to work for any company that asks such questions in the first place.

Since its the minimum, you assume that that horse always wins. So you need another 5 to race the remaining 20 horses and weed them out. But these questions are stupid because you always assume a whole lot of stuff such as not having a stopwatch or that the horses always run the same time or fatigue not coming into play.
Macj Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 This is what I ask of my B and C levels. If the company has come to a point where a certain change in direction is to be made, that causes uncertainty and lands it on a a precipice , when there are enormous fortunes to be made, yet the risk is high and the fall catastrophic. Will you stay or will you bail. Why or why?
Aaku Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I could only answer number 26 correctly. :haha::haha: hood misses youu:icflove:
