Co-operators insurance Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Here is the solution to the given version of the puzzle (9 balls, one is heavier, need to identify oddball), where we label the balls A, B, …, I:

1. Weigh ABC versus DEF.

Scenario a: If these (1) balance, then we know the oddball is one of G, H, I.

2. Weigh G versus H.

Scenario a.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is I.

Scenario a.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.

Scenario b: If these (1) do not balance, then the oddball is on the heavier side. For simplicity, assume the ABC side is heavier, so the oddball is one of A, B, C.

2. Weigh A versus B.

Scenario b.i: If these (2) balance, the oddball is C.

Scenario b.ii: If these (2) do not balance, the heavier one is the oddball.

answer is maximum of 2.

I think –

1750 / 7 Years = 250
250 * 2% = 5
5 * 7 Years = 35

Ans = 8
Use simple box method
[1][2][2][2]= 1x2x2x2 =8
Logic >
once place have 2 number (2,6)
Tens place have also 2 number (7,3)
So that number is divisible by 4
Now, 2 numbers fixed at once and tens place left 2 numbers which is choice at hundredth place
Now 3 number fix left 1 number which is placed at thousands place
Total number form is 4×4 = 16
But divisible by 4 is 1x2x2x2 =8

From the first statement
Speed=distance/time
=>240/24=10m/s
so speed=10m/s
From the second statement
distance=length of the platform+length of the train=650+240=890m
Time=distance/speed
here, the speed of the train is already calculated
=>890/10=89s
So the time taken by the train to cross the platform is 89 seconds

Solution:

life as a boy = 1/4
life as a youth = 1/8
life as an active man = 1/2
sum of life as boy, youth and active man = 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/2 = 7/8
life as an old man = 1 − 7/8 = 1/8
1/8 Wrinkle’s life (as an old man) is 8 years.
and 1/2 = 1/8 *4
So, 1/2 Wrinkle’s Age (as active man) = 8*4 = 32years.

Let cost for apple be a Cost for banana be b and Orange be c

So by first value expression becomes 17a + 13b + 9c =130 ———-1 therefore if you further solve a = (130 – 13b – 9c)/17 ———- 2 the second expression becomes: 13c + 7a + 10b = 100 ———- 3 If you put value of a in second expression it becomes: 13c + 7[(130 – 3b – 9c)/17] +10b = 100

Further if you solve you get value of b:

b = 10 – 2c ———-4

put value of b from 4 in 1

17a + 13 [10 – 2c] + 9c = 130

Further if you solve you find value of a

a = c ———-5

Put 5 in 3

13c + 7c + 10b = 100

further solve you get: c = 1 ———-6

from 5 and 6

a = c = 1 ———-7

Substitute value of c in expression 4

b = 10 – 2c b = 10 -2 * 1 b = 8 ———-8

therefore a + b + c = 10
