● Analytical / Programming:
○ A building has 100 floors. You have 2 similar mobiles. How would you find the
maximum floor from which dropping the phone would not break it?
(Optimize time and you can waste both phones)
○ You have two ropes. They each take one hour to burn. How would you know when
45 minutes have passed? They don’t burn sequentially, i.e.,
you can’t keep track of how much of the rope has burnt (10%, 25%,...)
○ You have a balance and eight balls which are of same size and have exactly
same appearance.
1 out of eight balls has more weight than rest of the seven individual balls.
You have to find the ball which weighs more by using balance as minimum times
as possible.
○ Give a logical proof that if two consecutive numbers have a difference of two
(eg 17 and 19), the number in the middle (eg 18) is a multiple of 6.

● Analytical:
○ You have two ropes. They burn in 30 minutes each. I want to know when 45
minutes pass.
○ You have 8 balls. 7 of them are 8g each. One ball is 10g. You have a manual
balance (scale). How would you efficiently find the heavier ball?
○ There is an elephant that needs to go 1000 km across, it can only carry 1000
items at one time. You have total 3000 Items how much will you be able to transport
if elephant consumes 1 item on 1 km.

● Analytical
○ A beast takes away your half of your food item and return you 1. How much do
you require to have 2 items at end after meeting beast for 5 times.

○ Same beast take away half of the items now and return nothing. Give a generic
formula to this ? For nth encounter
○ Top horse among 25 horses problem
○ 8 balls weight problem
○ Two people dropped on a plane. A doesn’t know where B is and B doesn’t know
where A is. They can move left or right only. How can A find B? Hint: Move left 1
step then move right 2 steps then left 3 steps then right 4 steps until B who is
standing still is found.
● Analytical:
