Ericsson Interview Questions paper - 3

You have 5 jars of pills. Each pill weighs 10 gram, except for contaminated pills contained in one jar, where each pill weighs 9 gm. Given a scale, how could you tell which jar had the contaminated pills in just one measurement? ANS. 1. Mark the jars with numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. 2. Take 1 pill from jar 1, take 2 pills from jar 2, take 3 pills from jar 3, take 4 pills from jar 4 and take 5 pills from jar 5. 3. Put all of them on the scale at once and take the measurement. 4. Now, subtract the measurement from 150 ( 1*10 + 2*10 + 3*10 + 4*10 + 5*10) 5. The result will give you the jar number which has contaminated pill. In a tournament there are 20 flag poles equidistant from each other. each runner starts from the first flag. In 24 sec the runner reachesthe 12th flag. How much it will take him to complete the 20th flag. ans. (24/11)*19 At 6'o clock clock ticks 6 times. The time between first and last ticks was 30sec. How much time it takes at 12'o clock. Ans. 66 sec. 2 marks. Three friends divided some bullets equally. After all of them shot 4 bullets the total no. of remaining bullets is equal to that of one has after division. Find the original number divided. Ans. x-4 3x-12 x= ans is 18 2 marks x x-4 = x x x-4 x 6

Ericsson Aptitude Interview Questions - 2 There are three people A, B, C. Liars are of same type and Truth speaking people are of same type. Find out who is speaking truth and who is speaking false from the following statements: a) A says: B is a liar. b) B says: A and C are of same type. Ans: lets assume A is speaking truth. It means B is a liar then it means A and C are not of same type. in a race u drove 1st lap with 40kmph and in the second lap at what speed u must drive so that ur average speed must be 80kmph. Ans: its impossible! if u drove the first lap in 40 kmph, its impossible that the average speed of both the laps is 80kmph. for eg. consider one lap distance = 80km. time req. to cover 1 lap = 80km/40kmph = 2 hrs.

if the avg. speed is 80kmph, then the total time would have taken = 160kms/80kmph = 2 hrs. same is the case with any other distance u consider. so the avg to be 80kmph is impossible You have to draw 3 concentric circles with a line passing thru their center without lifting hand. Ans: Start the line complete one circle move inside then draw second circle. Like wise rest. circles along the line and

A rectangular paper is there. At a corner a rectangular size paper is taken from it. Now you have to cut the remaining paper into two equal halves. Ans: try it on the paper. You must fold the part that has complete paper and select Half of it and then fold the part that cut and selects half of it and then cut along the folding. Value of (x-a)(x-b). . . . (x-z)

Ans: 0 as there's X-X term There are 9 coins. 8 are of 1 gm and 1 is of 2 grams. How will you find out the heavier coin in minimum number of weighing and how many weighing it will need? Ans: 2 weighing ( Divide the number of coins into 3 parts at each weighing) If a bear walks one mile south, turns left and walks one mile to the east and then turns left again and walks one mile north and arrives at its original position, what is the color of the bear. ANS. The color of the bear is trivial. The possible solutions to it are interesting. In addition to the trivial north pole, there are additional circles near south pole. Think it out. Given a rectangular (cuboidal for the puritans) cake with a rectangular piece removed (any size or orientation), how would you cut the remainder of the cake into two equal halves with one straight cut of a knife? ANS. Join the centers of the original and the removed rectangle. It works for cuboids too! BTW, I have been getting many questions asking why a horizontal slice across the middle will not do. Please note the "any size or orientation" in the question! Don't get boxed in by the way you cut your birthday cake :) Think out of the box.

Ericsson Pattern of Written Test Paper, 7th Aug 09

There were 75 questions in all with no negative marking and time duration of 75 min. 3 Sections were there but no sectional cut off, only overall cut off was there. Sections were also subdivided into parts.

Section1(Analytic Reasoning): Part 1: 1. 6 movies A B C D E F have to be shown to students in a certain order. Some conditions like: A should be shown before D. B should be shown before F. E should be at last. And 6 questions related to this puzzle. 2. One more puzzle was there having 5 questions. Part 2: 9 questions based on Data Sufficiency were there. Section 2(Quantitative Aptitude) Part 3: 30 questions from this section were there. Questions mainly from Average, Percentage, Profit and Loss, Series Completion, Problems on Numbers were there. Section 3(Verbal Ability) Part 4: A passage was there on 'Mankind and Nuclear Weapons' and 5 ques were asked based on that..
