C- 1. Firstly, I started by looking at some direct connection to the music industry like previous purchase of musical instruments they have made or their affiliation with some music-related society.

2. Listed 5-6 different ways but the interviewer kept on asking for more so then shifted to indirect connections like time spent on TV watching music channels. Listed 4-5 indirect ways and the interview ended.

C- 1. I asked about constraints like there are only 100 points.

2. Decided on a structure for the team to be made: 4 batsmen, 1 keeper, 3 bowlers, 3 all-rounders.

3. Reduced it into a utility maximization problem where each player will have some utility and cost associated with them. Now I had to devise a method to tell about the utility of each player as costs are already given.

4. Started with batting, listed various factors.

5. Then I deep dived into each factor as in how to quantitatively represent the data for every factor.

It went on for around 25 min and the entire interview revolved around this particular case.
