Basic questions for logical and quantitave Aptitude
Basic 2 coding challenges

1. Puzzle

A mother is twice as old as her son. If 20 years ago, the age of the mother was 10 times the age of the son, what is the present age of the mother?
A. 38 years
B. 40 years
C. 43 years
D. 45 years

Problem approach

Let the age of son = X years

∴Age of mother would be =2X

As per question 20 years ago;

10 (X -20) = 2X - 20

10X - 200 = 2X - 20

10X - 2X= - 20 + 200

8X = 180

X=Apti Problem on ages 13= 22.5 years

∴Age of mother = 22.5 * 2 = 45 years

You are given a positive integer ‘n’.


Your task is to find and return its square root. If ‘n’ is not a perfect square, then return the floor value of sqrt(n).


Example:
Input: ‘n’ = 7

Output: 2

Explanation:
The square root of the number 7 lies between 2 and 3, so the floor value is 2.


Problem approach

I wasn't able to do it but they basically wanted to see my approach for the question. Always explain what you are thinking and doing while coding for fresher entry.
