INTERVIEW
interview was very cool. only thing is that they will see ur confidence and way of thinking. they also asked
me two reasoning problems .
* tell abt ur self
* what is ur strength?

from ur regular studies?

* what do u think is a major failure in ur life which always haunts u ?
* since i was born and brought up in city outside Bangalore they asked me whether i was comfortable
working anywhere in India.
analytical ques:
1: u are given with two identical iron bars. one of them is magnetized and the other is not. u are suppose
to find which one is magnetized. u are not suppose to use any other thing.
my ans: first time i told that i will suspend the bars freely. but then they told me that i am not suppose to
use any external help. i took some time and then realized that a magnetic bar in the middle repels
towards the end . i told that place one of the bars horizontal & then move the other one perpendicularly
to it . if it repels towards any of ends then the horizontal one is magnetized if it attracts then is
not. They were convinced
2: what is the result of (x-a)*(x-b)*(x-c)*...........*(x-y)*(x-z) ? my ans: i told that since there is a term (x-x) the
answer is zero. They told ok. finally they asked me whether i have any questions to
them i asked them what is the duration of training and what is field which i will be working on if i get selected.
