Wilkin Chapman Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

A

360

X filling rate is 1/18 or 4/72 per hour

Y filling rate is 1/24 or 3/72 per hour

Combined as a pair it’s 7/72 in a complete 2 hour alternating sequence

72+ 7/72 =10 sequences = 70/72 on 20 hours, The outstanding balance is just 2/72

So at 20.5 hours with X turn filling is 100% complete with 72/72

Answer: It will take 20.5 hours to completely fill this tank.

Analysis of measured filling process, from X = 42/72 share & from Y = 30/72 share

Had is correct ! Anil went in right direction but ended up
with wrong answers
Soln: B lied ( see anil’s comment ) which implies B has not
stolen mule. So B could steal camel or sheep.
1) Lets assume B stole camel.
In that case, A lies ( refer – A says “B had stolen sheep”
), which implies A had stolen sheep ( becoz a lier cant
steal mule ). So A->sheep B->camel C->mule. But this cant
happen because C cant lie ( refer – C says ” B had stolen
mule” ).
2) Lets assume B stole sheep.
In that case, A is true ( refer – A says “B had stolen
sheep” ), which implies A had stolen mule. So A->Mule
B->Sheep C->camel. Here C lies ( refer – C says ” B had
stolen mule” )
SO ANS: answer A- mule, B-sheep, C camel

a = 2
d = 5 – 2 = 3
Then 12th term is :
This in arithmetic progression
L = a + (12 – 1) d
L = 2 + 11 * 3
L = 2 + 33 = 35
