EXL ServiceThalesOptum

You're given an alphabetical string ‘S’.


Determine whether it is palindrome or not. A palindrome is a string that is equal to itself upon reversing it.


For example:
‘S’ = racecar
The reverse of ‘S’ is: racecar
Since ‘S’ is equal to its reverse. So ‘S’ is a palindrome.
Hence output will be 1.

You're given a string 'S' consisting of "{", "}", "(", ")", "[" and "]" .


Return true if the given string 'S' is balanced, else return false.


For example:
'S' = "{}()".

There is always an opening brace before a closing brace i.e. '{' before '}', '(' before ').
So the 'S' is Balanced.

You are given an integer array 'ARR' of size 'N' and an integer 'S'. Your task is to return the list of all pairs of elements such that each sum of elements of each pair equals 'S'.

Note:

Each pair should be sorted i.e the first value should be less than or equals to the second value. 

Return the list of pairs sorted in non-decreasing order of their first value. In case if two pairs have the same first value, the pair with a smaller second value should come first.

4. Puzzle

You have 9 balls, equally big, equally heavy - except for one, which is a little heavier.

How would you identify the heavier ball if you could use a pair of balance scales only twice?
 

Problem approach

My solution:

Divide the 9 balls into 3 groups of 3. Compare the weight of two of those groups.

The heavier group should then be obvious, it will either tip the scales, or, if the scales stay balanced, then it is the group you didn't include.

Now, choose 2 balls from this group and compare their weights, and using the same logic as before, the heavier ball will be obvious.

5. OS Question

Explain various states of a process in detail and how they are related

Problem approach

Prepare OS very well from Galvin book

6. OS Question

What are the ways of prevention and avoidance of Deadlock ?

7. OS Question

Difference between Real-Time operating system and general-purpose operating system in brief
