Creative destruction lab Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

X= pigeon
Y= hares
X+Y= 200
2x+4y=580
By solving y= 90
X=110
So Hares= 90

GIVEN: 2A(B+C)+AC-2C(A-B)
THEREFORE 2AB+2AC+AC-2AC+2BC
2AB+AC+2BC
2(AB+BC)+AC
LET b1=AB b2=BC b3=AC
STEP1: b1 = b1+b2
so b1 = AB+BC
THEREFORE
NOW: b1 = AB+BC b2 = BC b3 = AC
STEP 2: b3 = b1+b3
so b3 = AB+BC+AC
THEREFORE
NOW: b1 = AB+BC b2 = BC b3 = AB+BC+AC
STEP3:
NOW: b1 = b1+b3
so b1 = AB+BC+AB+BC+AC
=2(AB+BC)+ AC
AB BC AC
STEP1 AB+BC BC AC
STEP2 AC BC AB+BC+AC
STEP3 AB+BC+AB+BC+AC BC AB+BC+AC
i.e 2(AB+BC)+AC BC AB+BC+AC

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

12

A. 80 : 81 : 84

12(1/3) = 4 so women = 4
==>men = 12-4 = 8
if team needs 20% of women then men Will be 80%
consider u want to hire “x” men
so,
(12+x)(80/100) = 8 + x
so, x= 8

I think speed of printing per minute has nothing do to with how long printer being at work.

If “given day” = 8 hours.
8h = 480m

x = 176400 / 480 = 367.5 lines per minute.

=> 3s = d
=> 5(s-9) = d

therefore
5s-45=3s
2s = 45
s=22.5

hence
d= 67.5

At 680Km
