N= 12+X*(Y-Z)
Where
X, Y, Z are variables repersenting single digits(0 to 9). Alok would
like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this
end,Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a
variable of her choice (X,Y,Z). Alok then chooses next value and Bhanu
the variable to substitute the value finally Alok proposes the value
for the remaining variable Assumig both play to their optimal
strategies the value of N at the end or the game would be?
This type also repeated for three time with change of exp
Ans: Better go through the options given NEVER place 0 or 9 in the Expression

On planet korba, a solar blast has melted the ice caps on its equator.
9 years after the ice melts, tiny planetoids called echina start
growing on the rocks. Echina grows in the form of circle, and the
relationship between the diameter of this circle and the age of echina
is given by the formula d = 4*√ (t-9) for t ≥ 9 where d represents the
diameter in mm and t the number of years since the solar blast.Jagan
recorded the radius of some echina at a particular spot as 7mm. How
many years back did the solar blast occur?
a) 17 b)21.25 c)12.25 d)14.05

Given a collection of points P in the plane , a 1-set is a point in P
that can be separated from the rest by a line, .i.e the point lies on
one side of the line while the others lie on the other side. The number
of 1-sets of P is denoted by n1(P). The minimum value of n1(P) over all
configurations P of 11 points in the plane in general position (.i.e no
three points in P lie on a line) is
a) 3 b) 11 c) 2 d) 8

coins are special and the rest are ordinary. Alok starts and the
players take turns removing an ordinary coin of their choice from the
circle and bringing the other coins closer until they again form a
(smaller) circle. The goal is to bring the special coins adjacentto
each other and the first player to do so wins the game. Initially the
special coins are separated by two ordinary coins O1 and O2. Which of
the following is true?
a) In order to win, Alok should remove O1 on his first turn.
b) In order to win, Alok should remove one of the coins different from O1 and O2 on his first turn.
c) In order to win, Alok should remove O2 on his first turn.
d) Alok has no winning strategy.
These
are some questions that i face I answered totally 32 questions. Don't
answer all 35 questions correctly even if you know there may be a
chance of upper cutoff.
I completed my technical, Managerial and HR rounds and awaiting for the result.
All the best!
