Dollarama Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Let the number be x.

So x-2 =15/x, or

x^2–2x-15=0, or

(x-5)(x+3)=0

Hence x = 5 or -3.

Check: When x=5, 5–2=3 which is 15/5=3.

When x=-3, -3–2=-5 which is 15/-3=-5.

The number is 5 or -3.

x- sum of first 4 values
y – 5th value

x/4 = 45
x=45*4=180

(x+y)/5 = 46
(180+y)/5=46
180+y=230
y=50

Doug won the race
Explanation-
The ratio of steps covered by me, Doug, and Anne is = 6:7:8

Since Distance covered in Me 21 steps = Distance covered by Doug 24 steps = Distance covered by Anne 28 steps

LCM (21, 24, 28) = 168

For a distance of 168 units, the ratio of the distance covered in each step is;
= 8 : 7 : 6
Therefore the ratio of speeds is;
= 8×6: 7×7: 6×8
= 48 : 49 : 48

Here, the speed of the Doug is more than the speed of me and Anne
Hence, Doug won the race

FYI

Let\: the\: total\: price \: be\: Rs. X\: then,

B= 2x/7 & A= \left ( x-2 \right )/7

So, A:B = 5x/7 : 2x/7 = 5 : 2

Let \: B’s \: capital\; be\: Rs.Y\: then\: \left ( 16000\ast 8 \right )/4y= 5/2

=> (16000\ast 8\ast 2)/(4\ast 5) = y

=> y = Rs. 12800

In 3 hours thinker candle becomes half
In the same time thinner candle becomes one fourth. Now the
required condition is satisfied. So 3 Hours

224

let x be lenghth of candles.

thicker one—- in 1 hr 1/6th will go.
thinner one— in 1 hr 1/4th will go.

let he lit for n hrs.

so in n hrs thicker one goes n/6.
and thinner one goes n/4.

so remainini length are x-n/6 and x-n/4.so x-n/6=2(x-n/4)
implie n=3x. if x=1 n=3hrs.

1, 2, 4, 13, 31, 112,?
This series is written in base 5 numbers for decimal nos of 1,2,4,8,16,32,64

so next number is 224 .
224 in base 5 = 64 in base 10.

so 224 is next number.
