1. Given a table "UserActivity" with columns "user_id," "action," and "timestamp," write an
SQL query to find the number of unique users who performed each action on a specific
date.
Example:
UserActivity:
user_id action timestamp
1 view 2023-07-25 08:15:00
2 add_cart 2023-07-25 09:30:00
1 purchase 2023-07-25 10:00:00
3 view 2023-07-25 12:45:00
2 view 2023-07-25 14:20:00
Result:
action date unique_users
view 2023-07-25 3
add_cart 2023-07-25 1
purchase 2023-07-25 1

1. You have a table "Sales" with columns "user_id," "product_id," "timestamp," and
"purchase_status." Write an SQL query to calculate the conversion rate of users from
each stage of the sales funnel (e.g., viewed the product, added to cart, completed the
purchase).
Example:
user_id product_id timestamp purchase_status
1 A 2023-07-25 08:15:00 viewed
2 B 2023-07-25 09:30:00 added_to_cart
1 A 2023-07-25 10:00:00 completed
3 C 2023-07-25 12:45:00 viewed
2 B 2023-07-25 14:20:00 completed
Result:
purchase_status viewed_users added_to_cart_users completed_users total_users
viewed 2 0 0 2
Added_to_cart 0 1 0 1
completed 1 0 2 3

1. You have two tables: "ControlGroup" with columns "user_id" and "conversion_status,"
and "ExperimentalGroup" with the same columns. Write an SQL query to calculate the
conversion rate for both groups and determine if the experimental group has a
statistically significant difference in conversion compared to the control group.
Example:
Control group:
user_id conversion_status
1 converted
2 not_converted
3 converted
4 not_converted
5 not_converted
Experimental group:
user_id conversion_status
6 not_converted
7 converted
8 converted
9 not_converted
10 converted
Result:
group_name converted_users total_users conversion_rate
ControlGroup 2 5 0.4
ExperimentalGroup 3 5 0.6

1. Given a table "Numbers" with a single column "number," write a query to find the
missing numbers in the sequence from 1 to 100 (excluding the ones present in the
table).
Example:
Numbers:
Number
11
22
43
64
...
98
100
Result:
number
3
5
7
...
99

1. Example:
customer_id age gender purchase_amount
1 25 Male 100.00
2 30 Female 50.00
3 22 Male 75.00
4 28 Female 120.00
5 35 Male 80.00
Result:
age_group gender total_customers avg_purchase_amount
18-24 Male 10 75.00
18-24 Female 8 85.00
25-34 Male 20 95.00
25-34 Female 18 80.00
35-44 Male 15 110.00
35-44 Female 12 95.00
45-54 Male 8 120.00
45-54 Female 10 105.00
55+ Male 5 90.00
55+ Female 6 100.00

1. Write an SQL query to find the Nth highest salary from a "Salary" table.
Example:
Salary
50000
75000
60000
90000
80000
Result: The 3rd highest salary is 60000.

1. Write an SQL query to rank "Scores" in the "Students" table. If two students have the
same score, they should receive the same rank, and the next rank should be skipped.
Example:
Student Scores
Alice 85
Bob 92
Charlie 85
David 78
Eve 92
Result:
Student Scores rank
Bob 92 1
Eve 92 1
Alice 85 2
Charlie 85 2
David 78 3
 1. Write an SQL query to calculate the cumulative sum of "Revenue" for each
"Category," resetting the sum when encountering a new category.
Example:
Sales:
Category Revenue
A 100
A 150
B 200
A 50
B 300
B 250
Result:
Category Revenue cumulative_sum
A 50 50
A 100 150
A 150 300
B 200 200
B 250 450
B 300 750

9) Given a table "Transaction" with columns "transaction_id," "product_id," and "timestamp,"

write an SQL query to find the top 5 most frequently co-occurring product pairs in transactions.
Example
Transactions:
transaction_id product_id timestamp
1 A 2023-07-25 08:15:00
2 B 2023-07-25 09:30:00
3 A 2023-07-25 10:00:00
4 C 2023-07-25 12:45:00
5 A 2023-07-25 14:20:00
Result:
product1 product2 co_occurrences
A B 3
A C 2
B C 1
D E 1
A D 1

10 ) Using a table "Locations" with columns "location_id," "latitude," and "longitude," write an
SQL query to find the closest locations to a given set of latitude and longitude coordinates.
Example:
Locations:
location_id latitude longitude
1 40.7128 -74.0060
2 34.0522 -118.2437
3 41.8781 -87.6298
4 37.7749 -122.4194
5 29.7604 -95.3698
Example Latitude and Longitude Coordinates (target location):
latitude_target longitude_target
38.9072 -77.0369
Result:
location_id latitude longitude distance
1 40.7128 -74.0060 3.602606223603
3 41.8781 -87.6298 9.815368890392
4 37.7749 -122.4194 38.49109332774
5 29.7604 -95.3698 28.67409915722
2 34.0522 -118.2437 32.64350998995
