Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Mr. Brown painted the first whole house in 6 days plus 1/3 of the second house in the next 2 days. Mr. Black can paint a whole house in 8 days and had 8 days to work, so he painted the equivalent of 1 whole house. That accounts for 2-1/3 houses painted. Mr. Blue only needs to paint 2/3 of the last house, so 2/3 times 12 days equals 8 days.

the answer is (a)40

Number of persons between Vijay and Jack = 48 – (14 + 17) = 17.
Now, Mary lies in middle of these 17 persons i.e. at the eight position.
So, number of persons between Viji and mary = 7.

500 = Total+50
Total(450) = only one paper(p) + 29+20+35 + all three (g)
285+212+127 = p + 2( 29+20+35 )+ 3g
solve above .. to get g = 45 …

if he wins then it becomes 4 double than 2
and if looses then opponent becomes 3 which is equal.

The hour hand advances between individual numbers as the minute hand makes a full path around the hour. The hour hand was pointing directly at 3 at 3:00, but at 3:15 it has advanced 1/4 of the way between 3 and 4. The number of degrees between numbers 30 (because 360/12). That gives you 30/4 = 7.5. The number of degrees between the two hands is 7.5 degrees.

Let the number of males be given the name M.
Let the number of females be given the name F.
If 15 females are absent, then M will be twice that of
present females.
This means that M = 2 * (F – 15)
M = 2 * F – 30.
or 2 * F – M = 30.
Now if in addition to the 15 females being absent, we also
have 45 males being absent,
then this gives the equation,
(F – 15) = 5 * (M – 45)
which simplifies to
F – 15 = 5 * M – 225
5 * M – F = 210
Pulling the equations together, we get
5 * M – F = 210
-M + 2 * F = 30
Multiply the first equation by 2, and keep the second
equation as is.
10 * M – 2 * F = 420
– M + 2 * F = 30
Add the equations.
9 * M = 450
M = 50
Verify answer.
Calculate F
from – M + 2 * F = 30
-50 + 2 * F = 30
2 * F = 30 + 50
F = 40.
If 15 females are absent, then number of males will be twice
that of females.
40 – 15 = 25.
50 = 2 * 25. Confirmed.
If also 45 males were absent, then female strength would be
5 times that of males.
Female strength is 25 due to the 15 females being absent.
50 – 45 = 5.
25 = 5 * 5. Confirmed.
