( ) + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) + ( ) = 30
This is what you have for equation. The following are the numbers that you can use
to fill in the brackets:
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15
You can repeat the numbers if required. The resulting sum should be 30.
This question appeared in the UPSC final examination in December 2013. Out of all
the people who appeared, only one guy was able to solve this namely Gaurav
Agarwal.
Can you solve it?
There is no mention if you can use sign or not and thus the only possible way to get
this is as follows:
(15 - 9) + (13 - 7) + (7 - 1) + (9 - 1) + (13 - 9)
If you solve inside the brackets, you will get the following equation
6+6+6+8+4
Adding all these numbers, you will get 30 which is the required sum.

IAS Interview Questionss #8 - Crossing The River In Minimum Time Puzzle
Four people need to cross a dark river at night.
* They have only one torch and the river is too risky to cross without the torch.
* If all people cross simultaneously then torch light wont be sufficient.
* Speed of each person of crossing the river is different.cross time for each person is
1 min, 2 minutes, 7 minutes and 10 minutes.
What is the shortest time needed for all four of them to cross the river
Solution:
17 min
The initial solution most people will think of is to use the fastest person as an usher
to guide everyone across. How long would that take? 10 + 1 + 7 + 1 + 2 = 21
minutes. Is that it? No. That would make this question too simple even as a warm up
question.
Let's brainstorm a little further. To reduce the amount of time, we should find a way
for 10 and 7 to go together. If they cross together, then we need one of them to
come back to get the others. That would not be ideal. How do we get around that?
Maybe we can have 1 waiting on the other side to bring the torch back. Ahaa, we
are getting closer. The fastest way to get 1 across and be back is to use 2 to usher 1
across. So let's put all this together.
1 and 2 go cross
2 comes back
7 and 10 go across
1 comes back
1 and 2 go across (done)
Total time = 2 + 2 + 10 + 1 + 2 = 17 minutes
