Q. If a clock ticks 8 times at 8 o'clock, and the time between the first and last tick is 35 seconds, what is the time taken between the first and last tick at 11 o'clock?
Ans. 

The time taken for the clock to tick from 8'o clock to 11'o clock is 105 seconds.

  • Each tick represents 1/8th of an hour (45 minutes) on the clock.

  • From 8'o clock to 11'o clock, there are 3 hours, so the total time taken is 3 * 45 = 135 minutes = 135 * 60 = 8100 seconds.

  • The time taken for the clock to tick from 8'o clock to 11'o clock is 8100 - 35 = 8065 seconds.

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.
