If in a room there are 10 persons and if each person has to shake hands with all other then total how many hand shakes will be there 17 Answers10C2=45 should be 90 Forgot 90 Milk Shakes Show more responses 10(10-1)/2 "Each other" leaves this very open-ended; that depends on if A shakes with B or A shakes with B & C, OR if A shakes with all the other nine, etc. I would say the answer would have to be one of two: 10 or 100. If each person chooses only one to shake with, it would be ten. IF each person shakes with everyone there, all ten, it would be 100. Since this question is pretty vague, Some people may come to the conclusion that the answer is Either 90 assuming everybody stayed to shake hands with each other meaning the first person shook hands with 9 people and the 2nd person did the same etc etc bringing it to the conclusion that you got 90 handshakes. Another answer towards for people would be 45 being that the first person gave a hand shake to 9 people and then left and then the 2nd person gave a handshake to 8 people n then left etc and etc making it 9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=45. simply formulas: n*(n-1)/2 (n-1)*(n/2) Lock in 90 thanks n(n-1)/2 = 10(10-1)/2 = 45 If there are 10 persons, the first shakes hands nine times, the second eight times (already shook with first person), and so on. In other words, 9+8+7+6+5+4... 1. n(n-1)/2 2. 10*9/2 3 90/2 4. 45 If you say 90 you are including the repetetions. If first person shakes 9 times, the next one requires only 8 shakes. So it goes like, 9, 8 ,7 ,6...1. Can use the formula n*(n-1)/2/. So we get only 45 shake hands. It is similar to no of squares in the chess board. There squares will apply.

Posted here by mistake No matter what size track they run on, they will meet at the starting line every two laps. Show more responses With slower person's perspective, they will meet at starting point each round. Person running 10 km/hr, will complete one round, while the other person will complete two round during same time. You are assuming that the track is exactly 1KM in length. Most tracks are not that, what are they 440? Yes, with reference to the slower runner, they'll meet every round and with reference to the faster runner, they'll meet every alternate round. There is not enough infomation here. You really do need to know the length of the track to determine future meeting points. every round for the slower runner. at the end of second round (w.r.t to the person with 20km/hr speed). From 20kmph perspective Every alternative round they will meet at starting point , From 10kmph perspective every round they will meet at starting point. 2nd round |
Operations Manager at Amazon was asked...
There are 27 balls with one ball having additional weight. Total how many attempts you have to make to check all balls using a sisaw 10 Answers4 3. group the 27 balls into3 groups of nine, weigh 2 of the groups. If one is heavier, continue with that group. If they are equal, continue with the unweighed group. Break those nine into 3 groups of 3, weigh 2 groups. If one is heavier, continue with that group, otherwise use the unweighed group. With the 3 left, weigh any two. If one is heavier, you have it. If they are the same, then it is the unweighed ball that is heaviest. You have used the scale 3 times friend what sort question they may ask to electrical student.amazon is coming to my college.please reply. Show more responses Break it into 3 groups of 9, based on worse case scenario 1 test A & B group, if same go to step 2 if different go to step 3 2 test A & C group, take the heaviest group and split into 3 groups of 3 3 test A & B group if same go to step 4 if different go to step 5 4 test A & C group, take heaviest group and split into single balls 5 test A & B ball, if same go to step 6 if different you have the answer 6 test A and C ball Worse case is 6 times you will need to use the scale It’s actually FIVE different weightings. Try a visual tree with the breakdown of structure. Stars indicates each weighing. 27 split 9 vs 9 9 9* vs 9 9* split 3 vs 3 3 3* vs 3 3* split 1 vs 1 ( 1) (1*) If last weight is uneven that item is the heaviest. If it's even then the unmeasured stone is the heaviest. First make three groups of 9. then make three groups of 3 with the heaviest. Finally 1 to 1. So total 8 attempts can pick the odd one. 1, 2, or 4 One attempt in the best case scenario and four attempts in the worst case scenario. Using the method below, your answer will be revealed in the first, second, or fourth attempt using the seesaw. 1. Divide ball in 2 groups of 13 and weigh. Your 27th ball not being weighed. --> If equal, you have the answer on first attempt. The heavy ball is the 27 ball, not weighed. --> If not equal, remove light balls and repeat the comparison with the heavier group of balls. 2. Divide balls in two groups of 6 and weigh. Your 13th ball is not weighed. --> If equal, you have the answer on the second attempt. The heavy ball is the 13th ball, not weighed. --> If not equal, remove the light balls and repeat the comparison with the heavier group of balls. 3. Divide balls in two groups of 3 and weigh. --> Remove the light balls and repeat the comparison with the heavier group of balls. 4. You now have three balls. Weigh two of the balls to get your answer. --> If equal, the heavy ball is the one not weighed. --> If not equal, your heavy ball is identified by the low end of the seesaw. 3 You can guarantee the answer in 3 steps, if required. However, you no longer stand a chance of obtaining the answer in the first 2 weighings as I described immediately above. 1. Divide balls into 3 groups of 9. --> Weigh two of the groups. This will identify the heavy group. 2. Divide the identified heavy group into 3 groups of 3. --> Weigh two of the groups. This will identify the heavy group. 3. Separate the 3 balls in the heavy group and weigh. --> This comparison will identify the one heavy ball from the original group of 27. 3 attempts - attempt 1 - divide 3 sections 9balls 9balls 9balls pick a section which is different in weight, attempt 2 - divide 3 sections 3balls 3balls 3 balls pick a section which is different in weight, Attempt-3- divide 3 sections 1ball 1ball 1ball pick a ball which is in different in weight Attempt 3 - 4-5 attemps |
Sales Operations at Allan Lloyds was asked...
Are you ready for cold call That's it not introduction nothing else not before not after that's it. 7 AnswersBe professional, learn how to initiate interview. You are not interviewing some one to sell cycles. Ms. vidushi Sharma, Let me tell you again I asked you to wait only 15 min there & even you haven't reach at Allan Lloyds office because their office opens at 10.00 AM, you were just sitting at building reception, I think you havent check even address proper coz you were setting at ground floor & their office is on 4th floor, there are 50 companies in that building, You dont even know were to approach & you came here only as sales executive interview not for VP position so you dont need to advice or tell its shop or office, you are working in Kiwitech shop thats why you dont even know how to approach companies, you wasted your time with security guard. i feel very sorry for you because of this attitude you will be executive always. First thing I was there till 10:30 I have uber receipts I will post that here if you still don't feel sorry for what you did. Second I already told that I was waiting at main area as there was not even a single employee in your office by that time so no point to repeat same thing in your comment. Third I called it a shop as I saw lack of professionalism, you call some one and then you don't reach there and you don't even feel sorry is not a sign of good organisation. And please don't compare yourself with a global brand which has offices in 6 countries and known for professionalism and management. Last one, I might be an executive with which I am fully satisfied but you seem a senior person you are also representing your shop I am sorry I mean company still so many grammatical error. Please go to a freelance copy editor before posting next comment. And don't hire someone to find errors in my comment as I am just an executive. You should feel sorry for that mistake and should take steps to avoid such incident but instead of that you are doing another mistake. I am sorry I don't do personal comments but whatever you wrote just to remind even if you are a VP you don't have right to disrespect an executive. Hope you will realize your mistake if not I am always ready for debate. Show more responses well, I can see that's you awkward attitude, I sent you for interview & told you specifically that office opens at 10.00 & HR team will be there at 11.00 AM, you can keep you attitude with you & don't teach me english if you so perfect then try google or be a english teacher don't pretend like some one scold you there, you behavior is very awful thank god you are not hired through to me as consultant i made big mistake to refer you at this company, i don't know how kiwitech is keeping you with this attitude & i really feel sorry for your company & management, you can't wait 15 min for interview & pretending like global CEO. still you are just keep repeating same story where you were wrong, well last i can say you are worst candidate to hire or recommended to any company coz of your awful behavior, you are perfect for EKTA KAPOOR Serials. Neelam it's too much now, see your writing style. I leave it to readers now as your writing style is perfect representation of your company. What ever you wrote is completely unprofessional. I know you won't realize it but I am sure those who will read it will be in better position to evaluate about this company. Since you are a consultant that's why you don't even care that you are ruining this company image even more publicly by using such inappropriate and not required words. I don't want to clarify any thing to you but for readers, below is timing confirmation from your email, I will share email screenshot on some other site and will post URL here if that's required: --------------------- From: "Neelam Pandey" Yes we are working on Friday(29/5) however try to come on time at below mentioned address:- --------------------- "Hi Neelam, I can make 10 am this Friday 5/29 work for interview." -------------------- And Neelam I did a quick research after you mentioned you are a consultant and found you (MNB Digital Solutions Pvt Ltd.) don't even have website. So expecting any kind of professionalism is useless from you. I also reached at conclusion that it was my mistake that I accepted your request to come there without doing proper research. Are you still with kiwitech or fired ? coz i can see your frustration, you are making whole story just because you couldn't wait 15-20 min ? Now I can see how much time you are wasting on glassdoor & putting your energy to reply here rather then working in your current shift, I will show these replies to higher management of kiwitech & will tell them how this employee is using your resources for own benefit, you are not productive for company just applying new jobs & spending time on glassdoor, being sales person which i doubt you have enough time to do all this drama.I hope kiwitech management will take it seriously. Oh God! I don't need to tell who sounds more frustrated here. I have neither threatened you nor use harsh words like you still you are so angry? You are making your situation worse with each of your comment, no one would appreciate these responses. If you don't believe me ask some one else. Anyways if you need contact number of my management to complain about this then I'll be glad to provide that as I know them better than you. You are threatening me, this will only restrict others to go for interview on your request. And now you have forced me to write another review about your consultancy but only problem is I am not able to find it on glassdoor. |

If the rate of $/Rs. was 50 in december and in march it is 45, has the dollar appreciated or depreciated and what does this mean for Indian exporters? 5 AnswersA very long drawn out process. The good thing is they strive to keep you updated about what is happening at every stage, however one month of waiting can be nerve wracking dollar has appreciated. exports will decline. Dollar has depreciated which makes the goods they purchase in India more costlier thus they avoid importing from India. Show more responses Dollar has depreciated. This is bad news for exporters because they earn in $ and for every $ they exchange in the bank, they will get Rs 5 less than what they used to. Its Exchange loss for Indian Exporters, as $ depreciated |
