  • Q1. Pattern based - Three memory chips, each of 1GB. You have to store 3GB of data in these chips in such a way that even if one memory chip is corrupted, no data is lost.
  • Ans. 

    Use RAID 5 to store data across all three memory chips with parity bits for fault tolerance.

    • Implement RAID 5 to distribute data and parity bits across all three memory chips.

    • If one memory chip is corrupted, the data can be reconstructed using the parity bits from the other two chips.

    • Example: Store 1GB of data on each chip and use the remaining space for parity bits to ensure fault tolerance.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Interview
Experience: They asked to write 2 codes on recursion. Then some questions on resume. I asked them about the job profile and after knowing that they were hiring candidates for frontend programming, about which they didn’t mention in JAF. I told them that I was not interested in frontend development. And didn’t even answer any question after that. Unfortunately, I was selected.

General Tips: Plan your schedule judiciously keeping your capacity in mind. There is no point of making ideal plans and then not able to do even 50% of it.
Don’t get into unnecessary arguments or debate with people.
Don’t think about what others are doing. Focus on your preparation.
How you carry yourself matters. So, make sure you portray yourself in the way you want the other person to perceive you.
Be selective while applying for companies.
