The nature of the interviewer was very kind, helped me when I stuck. The round was proctored, our webcam and mic were on, and shared my screen.

1. Basic Interview Questions

Although it was an HR round but this question was quite a mix of tech+HR round. Some puzzles and guesstimates were asked.

 

2. How to measure 45 mins exactly using a stick that burns completely in 60 mins if burnt from one side.

If we light a stick, it takes 60 minutes to burn completely. What if we light the stick from both sides? It will take exactly half the original time, i.e. 30 minutes to burn completely.

0 minutes – Light stick 1 on both sides and stick 2 on one side.

30 minutes – Stick 1 will be burnt out. Light the other end of stick 2.

45 minutes – Stick 2 will be burnt out. Thus 45 minutes is completely measured.
