Gapstars Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

A 1×1 cube in the middle of an edge of the 3×3 cube will
have two faces painted. A cube has 12 edges, so the answer
is 12.

Answer is 274 .

Let the required term be x.

Pattern :- 1) Find the difference between consecutive terms as :

2 – 1 = 1

4 – 2 = 2

13 – 4 = 9

31 – 13 = 18

112 – 31 = 81

2) Now write the above numbers obtained by differences in series as :

1, 2, 9, 18, 81, y

(Suppose y be next term after 81.)

3) Look the difference series carefully and it follows the below pattern as :

(9 * 2)/1 = 18

(18 * 9)/2 = 81

(81 * 18)/9 = 162 = y (the next term after 81)

Thus the required answer is :

x = 112 + y

x = 112 +162 =274

0,8x= y
y – 0,7y = 270

y= 270 / 0,3
y=900

0,8x=900
x=1125

35 is not the factor of 120 so…35 is the answer

speed = distence / time
60km/hr=distance / 9 sec
km / hr to m / s==> 60*1000 / 1* 3600 = 16.667
16.667*9 = distance
150 m is the answer

Simple interest Formula:
A=P(1+rt)
Therefore,
815=P(1+3r)
P+3r=815

854=P(1+4r)
P+4r=854
Solve the sums using Elimination method.
P+4r=854
P+3r=815
r=39.
Toget Principal
P+4r=854
P+4*39=854
P=854-117
P=698

let no. of boys not participating be x
then the no. of girls not participating = x+5
no. of boys : girls participating = 3:2
given no.of boys participating = 15
therefore, the ratio is now 15:y(say)
then 3:2 = 15 : x
on solving 3/2 =15/y ie.., 3y =30 we get y =10
hence no. of girls participating =10
therefore total no of students paricipating = 15+10=25
total no of students in class =60 given
hence no. of students not participating = 60-25=35
therefore x+(x+5)=35
2x=30
x=15
therfore no of girls not participating =15+5=20
therefore total no of girls in class = no of girls
participating + no of girls not participating
=10+20
=30 is the answer
