Mcilwain Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

By 1hour both trains meet, so the distance travel by fly in
1hr is 120km.

1/6

slower train – 48 kmph = 40/3 m/s
say faster train, v m/s
therefore, {v-(40/3)}*180 = 600, => v= 60 kmph

150 m

Put switch 1 on and leave it on for 2 minutes, then switch it off.
Put switch 2 on and leave it on, then walk into the room.
If the light is on, the answer is switch 2.
If the light is off but the bulb is warm when you feel it, the answer is switch 1.
If the light is off and the bulb is cold when you feel it, the answer is switch 3.

First write equations from info:
(A) (Mon + Tue + Wed)/3 = 111 Rearrange as ——–> Tue + Wed = 111 – Mon
(B) (Tue + Wed + Thu)/3 =102 Rearrange as ——–> Tue + Wed = 102 – Thu
(C) Thu = 0.8(Mon)

Substitute equation C into B:
(B) Tue + Wed = 102 – 0.8(Mon)

At this point I changed the values for clearer algebra:
Mon = x
Tue + Wed = y

Re-write equations A & B with new values:
(A) y = 111 – x
(B) y = 102 – 0.8x

Solve simultaneous equations:

111 – x = 102 – 0.8x
111 – 102 = x – 0.8x (Re-arraged)
9 = 0.2x
x = 45

Thus, Mon = 45C

Thu = 0.8(45)
Thu = 36C

So the answer is it was 36C on Thursday

Gain=(profit/c.p)*100

Gain =selling price-cost price =900-675
=225.
Gain=(225/675)*100.
=33.3%

a:37
b:22
c:50
d:11
e:25
f:27

1+0^3=1
1+1^3=2
2+2^3=10
10+3^3=37
37+4^3=101
101+5^3=226
1,2,10,37,101,226……..

30+32+34+36+38+40+42+44+46+48=390..

Its very simple..
consider the fraction of s in the mixture = 1/3
So if we add one more R the the fraction wil be = 1/4
Automaticaly S becomes 25% of the mixture

562.

6084
7431 is largest number and 1347 is the least number from digits 1,3,4,7
so 7431-1347=6084
