 There are 5 teams and each team has to play
one game with every team. What is the total
number of matches to be played?

To find the total number of matches, use the combination

formula (n/2) where n is the number of teams. For 5
teams:
 Probability of getting 12 as a sum of two dice
when two of them are thrown simultaneously.

The only combination to get a sum of 12 with two dice is

(6, 6). Each die has 6 faces, so there are 6×6=36 possible
outcomes when two dice are thrown.
 There is only one person (you) in the team,
and the client sends you a big issue. How will
you resolve it?

"I would first thoroughly understand the issue by gathering all

relevant details from the client. I would then analyze the problem,
prioritize the tasks, and develop a step-by-step action plan. If
needed, I would seek additional resources or advice from
colleagues or experts. Clear communication with the client
throughout the process is crucial to manage expectations and
provide updates on progress. Finally, I would implement the
solution, test it to ensure it resolves the issue, and follow up with
the client to confirm their satisfaction."
 Important quality a leader should have.

"One of the most important qualities a leader should have

is effective communication. A leader needs to clearly
convey goals, expectations, and feedback to their team
while also being a good listener. This ensures that
everyone is aligned, motivated, and can collaborate
effectively towards common objectives."
 If your manager gives credit to someone who has
not worked properly but you know you are the
person deserving, what will you do?

"I would approach my manager privately and respectfully

to discuss the situation. I would provide specific
examples of my contributions and explain how I believe
they have positively impacted the project. It’s important
to remain professional and not disparage the other
person. This conversation should be framed as a way to
ensure accurate recognition rather than a complaint."
 Important thing to be done as a beginner for

and work towards a consensus that benefits the project.
Open communication and respect for diverse viewpoints
are key to resolving differences constructively."
 If a coin is tossed thrice and got head in every
toss, will it affect the outcome of the fourth
toss (about biased coin)?

"No, the outcome of the fourth toss is not affected by the

previous tosses if the coin is fair. Each toss is an
independent event with a 50% probability of landing
heads or tails. The previous outcomes do not influence
the probability of future outcomes."
 How do you stay motivated during long or
challenging projects?

celebrating small successes along the way, and keeping
the end result in mind. I also find motivation in
collaborating with my team and supporting each other

identify areas for improvement. Additionally, focusing on
key skills such as clear articulation, proper pacing, and
engaging body language will build your confidence and
effectiveness as a speaker."
