The Quarry Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Marks in thrice in english as in science
so if science marks is x
then english marks = 3x
lets maths marks = y
ratio of english and maths marks is
3x/y = 3/5
=> y = 5x

and total marks = 162
3x + x + 5x = 162
x = 18 —-answer

time is inversely proportional to speed.
So if speed taken is 4/5 of usual speed, time taken will be 5/4 of usual time
and the difference between time is 10 min
So,
(5/4)t -t=10 min
usual time,t=40 min
late time=40+10=50 min

Soldier have to move 0.75 miles to West and then 0.375 miles to South to reach the camp.
How:-
Firstly soldier moving 1 mile to East from camp and then 1/2 miles= 0.50 miles to North .

Then it is moving 1/4 miles =0.25 miles to west
And then 1/8 miles =0.125 miles to South

Now we just have to count the difference and minus the value of camp to East with the value of North to west = 1mile – 0.25miles(1/4) = 0.75 miles

Same case with north and south = 0.50 miles(1/2) – 0.125 miles(1/8) = 0.375 miles

Hence proves to return camp the soldier have to move 0.75 miles to west and 0.375 miles to south

It is mentioned the the boat is tied with the rope to the tree. So first one will be crossing the river and the other with the help of the ropes tied to the tree will be able to pull the both back and then he will be crossing the river.

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

let first digit be ‘X’
then 5th digit is ‘3X’
let 2nd digit be ‘Y’
then 3rd digit is ‘Y-3’
and 4th digit is ‘Y+4’
then the no is ‘(X)(Y)(Y-3)(Y+4)(3X)’
from the above we can say 3X<=9 so X<=3 and any of the digit in the number is <=9 and also given that 3 pairs sum is 11... so make trial and error.. if X=1...any of the no is 10 which is wrong trial.... if X=2...then let Y+4=9 ==> Y=5
then no is 25296
first pair 2+9=11
second pair 2+9=11
third pair 5+6=11
now the answer is 25296

So we consider the 2nd statement first. We can form an equation out of it.
14x-6=13y+3=9z+3
Using this, we can understand that the multiple of 14 and the multiple of 13 and 9 must have a difference of 9. The easiest way to ensure that is multiplying it by 9
14*9=126
13*9=117
If the 5th farmer gives 3 apples to the 4th farmer, they would have 123 and 120 apples respectively. However, we also know that the 2nd farmer has 117 apples (13*9=117, and this is a multiple of 9) if the 5th farmer gives 3 apples too the 2nd farmer, the 3rd, 4th and 5th farmers would have 120 apples each.
Now that we got 120, we should check if the first part of the question makes sense along with it. The equation would be
7a+1=11b-1=120
We know that 11*11=121 and 7*17=119. When we add 1 to 119 and subtract 1 from 121, we get 120 for each. In this way, all the farmers have 120 apples each.
Therefore, the 3rd farmer had a yield of 11 per tree and the 4th farmer had a yield of 9 per tree.
