answers

1)64 condition given : Lusie age should fall between 54-70suppose if she has 8 sons .

each son has 7 brother

each sons has 7 sons (condition given :as many brothers they have)

8 sons having 56 sons adding 56 + 8 =64

2) 90

3) actually I got 120 for the given data.I forgot the figures, but i give u the step how to calculate

g-grass at the beginning r - rate at which grass grows,per day y-rate at whichone

cow eats grass, per day n - no of cows to eat the grass in 90 days

formula: g+d*r=n*d*y ( I got this from old infosys paper)

g + 30*r = 50 * 30 * y -->(1)

g + 60*r = 30 * 60 * y--->(2)

g + d*r = 60 * d * y --->(3)

frm (1)

g=1500y-30r

substitute g in (2)

1500y-30r+60r=1800y

30r=300y

r=10y

substitute y in (3)

1500y-300y+10dy=60dy

1200y=50dy

d=240 days

4) 71842


5) yellow (lie)yellow (true)blue (true)green (lie)

6) 12 K.M

T1 + T2=6 (3 to 9.p.m)

T1-time during forward journey

T2-time during return journey

D1+D2-forwared/Return distance

D1/4+D1/3 =T1 (forward time)

D1/4+D2/6 =T2 (return time)

Adding we will get D1+D2=12 km

7) x=9 y=1,z=8(i tried by assuming y=1 or y=2,(y-carry) i easily got)

8) 26 poles solution:

if n poles

(n-1) gaps of each 1000/(n-1) width

if n-1 poles

(n-2) gaps of each 1000/(n-2) width

so

1000/(n-2) -1000/(n-1)=5/3

1000(1/(n-2) -1/(n-1))=5/3

1000(1/(n-1)(n-2))=5/3

(n-1)(n-2)=(3/5)*1000=600

as 600=25*24so number of poles should be 26

9) andrew

10) easy analytical u can solve it.

General Q&A are all though basic for corporate comapnies interviews, it will improve our talent(intelligence) when we practise and we can have real fun. I will get back here again with my suggestions and questions too. Thanks for your interest of this kind.
