Cobb-vantress Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Let ‘x’ be the number of perons in the group and let ‘y’ be
amount per head which they have to pay.
Then xy = 2400.
or y = 2400/x
Since two friends have forget the purse, x-2 persons should
share the total amount(2400).
If they share, they have to make an extra contribution of
Rs 100 to pay up the bill
That is x-2 persons should pay y+100 each
or (x-2)(y+100) = 2400
or y+100 = 2400/(x-2)
or y = 2400/(x-2) – 100
Therefore we have got two equations namely,
y= 2400/x and y = 2400/(x-2) – 100
Comparing these two, we get
2400/x = 2400/(x-2) – 100
Solving this we get
x^2 – 2x -48 = 0
or (x-8) (x+6) = 0
or x = 8 or x = -6
Since ‘x’ denote the number of persons, it should be
positive.
So, x = 8.

Ans: 60 kph

Suppose Person meets the train everyday at 3 PM at Station A.

His speed is 12kph.

So normally he reaches 5 km before the meeting point (pt B) at (5/12 hr = 25 min before) 2:35PM.

But if he is late by 30 min, then he will reach that point (pt B) by 3:05 PM.

Train is traveling at its normal speed so it covers the distance of 5 Km in 5 min starting from Station A and reaches the meeting point (pt B) at 3:05 PM.

So speed of the train is 5KM/5min = 60 kph.

Answer is 16
1,2,4,7,11,….
1+(1) =2
2+(2) =4
4+(3) =7
7+(4) =11
Therefore
11+(5) =16

There should be 5(2+2+1) decimal places in the answer and the decimal place should end with 2(3*2*2=12) so the correct answer is a, no need for calculator. You can rule out all the other options because it does not satisfy this condition.

Thin candle melts 3/4 in 3 hours leaving 1/4
Where as in the same time thick candle melts 3/6 leaving 3/6 which is 1/2. Now thick candle is exactly twice than the thin candle.

Or via modeling:

We need to find time at which the length of the thin candle is half the thick candle. Let x be the time. Thin candle melts at 1/4 an hour and thick candle melts at 1/6 an hour. In x hours they melt at x/4 and x/6 respectively. What’s left will be 1 – x/4 and 1 – x/6. We need to find x at which :

2 * (1 – (x/4)) = 1 – (x/6)

This equation results in x = 3
