Mr. X runs a neet of 10 cabs at a renowned cab company. The cab company has two types of tlme based slots for differential payment Peak hours (0800-1000 , 1600-1800) payment ls X and off peak hours payment ls Y. Find the minimum number of hours across both non peak and peak hours for each of them 10 cabs are needed to achieve the target of Rs Z in a day.
For a (6 x 6) board, the numbers are written as follows:
You start from square 1 of the board (which is always in the last row and first column). On each square say 'X', you can throw a dice which can have six outcomes and you have total control over the outcome of dice throw and you want to find out the minimum number of throws required to reach the last cell.
Some of the squares contain Snakes and Ladders, and these are possibilities of a throw at square 'X':
You choose a destination square 'S' with number 'X+1', 'X+2', 'X+3', 'X+4', 'X+5', or 'X+6', provided this number is <= N*N.
If 'S' has a snake or ladder, you move to the destination of that snake or ladder. Otherwise, you move to S.
A board square on row 'i' and column 'j' has a "Snake or Ladder" if board[i][j] != -1. The destination of that snake or ladder is board[i][j].
You can only take a snake or ladder at most once per move: if the destination to a snake or ladder is the start of another snake or ladder, you do not continue moving - you have to ignore the snake or ladder present on that square.
For example, if the board is:
-1 1 -1
-1 -1 9
-1 4 -1
Let's say on the first move your destination square is 2 [at row 2, column 1], then you finish your first move at 4 [at row 1, column 2] because you do not continue moving to 9 [at row 0, column 0] by taking the ladder from 4.
A square can also have a Snake or Ladder which will end at the same cell.
For example, if the board is:
-1 3 -1
-1 5 -1
-1 -1 9
Here we can see Snake/Ladder on square 5 [at row 1, column 1] will end on the same square 5.
The technical interview was scheduled on webex teams at 10 am on 11th November 2020.
There were 2 panelists.
Interview went on for around 80 mins where they asked me questions on resume , projects , internships , Networking and Dsa .
Networking was asked because i mentioned a project on my resume that uses Socket.io .
Most of the time of interview was taken up by Dsa question.
It was a managerial round where I was interviewed by a senior person who was interested in knowing my overall personality and my interests rather than technical skills.
He discussed various technologies i was interested in , about my internship experience etc. Only tech question he asked me was how to use exception handling in c++ 14 with the help of libraries.
It was at 8 am on 15th November. HR just asked me about my expectations with the company, My greatest achievement, Why Cisco , and general HR questions , nothing difficult as such . Then he discussed about job location, PPO and stipend.
