Collinson grant Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Given:

In a group of 15 students,

7 have studied Latin,

8 have studied Greek,

3 have not studied either.

To find:

The number of students who studied both Latin and Greek.

Solution:

In a group of 15 students, have studied Latin, 8 have studied Greek, 3 have not studied either.

Therefore,

n(A∪B) = 15 – 3

n(A∪B) = 12

7 have studied Latin,

n(A) = 7

8 have studied Greek,

n(B) = 8

n(A∩B) is the number of students who studied both Latin and Greek.

n(A∩B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A∪B)

n(A∩B) = 7 + 8 – 12

n(A∩B) = 15 – 12

n(A∩B) = 3

The number of students who studied both Latin and Greek is 3

Final answer:

3 of them studied both Latin and Greek.

Thus, the correct answer .3

Speed = 13+4 km/hr
Distance = 68 km/hr
Time=distance/speed
68/17=4hrs

I have been teaching some students for 1 year.

Matches played: 60.
Matches won: 30% of 60 => (60*(30/100)) = 18 matches.
Iterative approach:
On adding 1 to matches played and matches won, on every iteration until the win percentage gets to 50. So
19 / 61 = 0.3114754098360656
20 / 62 = 0.3225806451612903
21 / 63 = 0.3333333333333333
22 / 64 = 0.34375
…
…
…
…
Similarly,
41 / 83 = 0.4939759036144578
42 / 84 = 0.5

So, after 60th match 24 more matches has to be played and won to get 50% average winning rate.

Let the revolutins made by bigger wheel is: x
then revolution by smaller wheel will be: x+10
Now, the distance covered by both wheels will be same.
So,
7(x+10)=9x
7x+70=9x
70=2x
35=x
so distance travelled=9*35=315
or 7*45=315

(T-P)-(U-Q)-(V-R)-(W-S)
S Opposite is Q
U sits the P and Q

Let’s say,

I have x coins of 50 paise and (80-x) coins of 100 paise,so the equation is like this ,
50x + (80-x)*100 = 64*100
x = 32
So ,I have 32 coins of 50 paise

cannot be determined .

128 is incorrect. There is a difference of multiples of 3 in the number pattern, which starts at 24 and reduces by 3 each time. Therefore the correct pattern would read 190, 166, 145, 127, 112, 100, 91.
this would leave the pattern with differences in the pattern 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9. The next number in the pattern would be 6 lower than 91. 91 – 6 = 85. Then 85 -3 – 82, followed by 82 – 0 = 82. After this, if -3 were taken the pattern would start to rise so 82 – – 3 = 85.
