Parker Drilling Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Lets assume total LCM(5,8) = 40units.
As, 5 men or 8 women do equal amount of work in a day,
1 Man does 8units/day and 1 Woman does 5units/day.
3M and 5W in 10 days do (3*8 + 5*5)*10 = 490units
To do 490 units in 14 days, number of Women required = 490/(14*5) = 7

let t = total no of students.. then
students who passed one or both subjects,
n(e U h) = n(e) + n(h) – n(e intersection h)
=> t = 0.8t + 0.7t – 144
=> t = 1.5t – 144
students who failed both subjects is 10% i.e. 0.1t
=>t-n(e U h) = 0.1t,
=>t -(1.5t – 144) = 0.1t
=>t- 1.5t- 0.1t = -144
=> -0.6t = -144
=>t = 240

2+3+5+7+11+13+17+19+23+29=129
129/10=12.9

The first number is 10 and the second number is 5

A’s speed=6 mph ,B’s speed=8 mph
Let, after x hrs, they will meet.
so, the distance traveled by A in x hrs should be the same as the distance traveled by B in (x-1/2)hrs [as B started the journey after 30 min of A]
Thus, 6x=8(x-1/2)[as distance=speed*time]
=>8x-6x=4
=>2x=4
=>x=2
after 2 hrs they will meet so time=(9+2)=11.00 a.m

Let numbers be 2x, 3x
Given: (2x)^3 + (3x)^3 = 945
8x^3 + 27x^3 = 945
x = 3
Difference between numbers = 3x – 2x = x
Hence difference = 3
