My basic concepts of all the topics were clear and I also prepared HR questions through mock interviews. I practised all the basic to medium coding question before interview.

Tip
Tip

Tip 1 : DSA should be on your tips. There are many websites to practice DSA e.g. GeeksForGeeks, LeetCode.
Tip 2 : Prepare questions related to your project before your interview only,
Tip 3 : In interviews for coding questions start from brute-force solution and gradually try to reduce the time complexity. And keep explaining your thought process to your interviewer, their main objective is to check your problem solving skills.

Firstly, I pretended that I am seeing this question for the first time. Then told him the sorting-based solution. After a few minutes of thinking. I simply sort both arrival time and departure time array and found the minimum number of platforms.

Goldman SachsGartnerWells Fargo

There is a country with 'N' cities and 'M' bidirectional roads of 3 types.

Type 1: Two Wheeler Road, It means only vehicles having two wheels can use this road.
Type 2: Four Wheeler Road, It means only vehicles having four wheels can use this road.
Type 3: Both two and four Wheeler Road, It means this road can be used by both type of vehicles.

The problem is to find the maximum number of roads that can be removed such that a path exists for every pair of cities for each two-wheeler and four-wheeler vehicle.

Note:
1. Roads may form a cycle.

2. The cities do not have multiple same roads i.e all the roads are unique.

3. If every city cannot be reached, then return -1.
Problem approach

I simply gave him a brute force approach for this question and he was quite satisfied with that.
