Commonwealth Foundation Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Answer: 8:10, 7:10

Explanation:

The bus b1, which started at P, reached S at 10:40, passing through the intermediary cities Q and R.

The time taken to travel from P to S
= 3 * 40 + 2 * 15 = 150minute
(journey)+(stoppage) = 2 hrs 30 minutes.
Hence, b1 started at 10:40 – 2:30 = 8:10 at P.
b2 reached Q, starting at U, through the city T, S and R.
The time taken by it to reach S = 4 * 40 + 3 * 15 = 205 minutes = 3 hr 25 minutes.
Hence, b2 started at, 10:35 – 3:25 = 7:10, at U.

acno is right answer

If there are n bikes then the no. of people are 2n+1. n are dropped in firs trip, in second trip 3 bikes are unused, so 2n-3 + n covers 2n+1 people. i.e. n + 2n – 3 = 2n +1
n = 4
No. of people = 9

Had is correct ! Anil went in right direction but ended up
with wrong answers
Soln: B lied ( see anil’s comment ) which implies B has not
stolen mule. So B could steal camel or sheep.
1) Lets assume B stole camel.
In that case, A lies ( refer – A says “B had stolen sheep”
), which implies A had stolen sheep ( becoz a lier cant
steal mule ). So A->sheep B->camel C->mule. But this cant
happen because C cant lie ( refer – C says ” B had stolen
mule” ).
2) Lets assume B stole sheep.
In that case, A is true ( refer – A says “B had stolen
sheep” ), which implies A had stolen mule. So A->Mule
B->Sheep C->camel. Here C lies ( refer – C says ” B had
stolen mule” )
SO ANS: answer A- mule, B-sheep, C camel

Ans is 10%

Printer price = x;
Computer price = 3x
Total overall price = 20x + 60 x 3x = 200x

Printer percent = (20x/200x ) x 100 = 10%
