Superstaff Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Let the numbers be x and x + 2.
Then, (x + 2)2 – x2 = 84
⇒ 4x + 4 = 84
⇒ 4x = 80
⇒ x = 20.
∴ The required sum
= x + (x + 2)
= 2x + 2
= 42

The Bear was white in color as it was a polar bear
It started moving from the north pole towards the south 1
mile and again after moving 1 mile east and one mile north
he reached his original position

10m/sec

time (dist covrd by husband) (dist covrd by wife)
0.5hr 20 miles 0 miles
1 hr 40 miles 25 miles
1.5 hr 60 miles 50 miles
2 hrs 80 miles 75 miles
2.5 hrs 100 miles 100 miles
Therefore wife catches up after 2.5 hrs..

75/8 days

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

I solve it as the 280m train being stationary… and the 120m train moving at (42+30) = 72kph…. or 20mps

The front of the train will have to go 280m to pass the stationary train plus another 120m for the backs to clear… that is 400m in all.

The time to travel 400m at 20mps is 20secs

% error= (new no-actual no)/actual no *100
% error= [(x/7)-7x]/7x * 100
% error= 48x/49x * 100
% error= 0.9795*100=97.95

x – 30 = 1/4 x || *4
4x – 120 = x || -x + 120
3x = 120 || /3
x = 40

let d distance and s be speed.
d/7 = x and d/5 = x+12
solving we get d=210.
