  • Q2. A group of n people is such that a symmetric relation of knowing another exists in the group. i.e. the relation is A knows B. and being symmetric if A knows B then B knows A. Prove that there exist atleast...
  • Ans. 

    In a group of people with a symmetric relation of knowing each other, there will always be at least two people who know the same number of people.

    • Consider the person who knows the maximum number of people in the group.

    • If there is no one who knows the same number of people, then everyone else must know a different number of people.

    • But this would mean that the total number of people known by everyone else is different fr...

  • Q3. In a 2 D plane, every point is assigned a color either blue or red. Prove that there exists a rectangle with all corners of the same color
  • Ans. 

    Prove that there exists a rectangle with all corners of the same color in a 2D plane with blue and red points.

    • Divide the plane into a grid of squares.

    • By the pigeonhole principle, there must be at least one row or column with four points of the same color.

    • Consider the pairs of points in that row or column and check if any of them form a rectangle.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. Prove that F_nk is divisible by F_n where F_i is the ith Fibonacci number. with f_0 = 0
  • Ans. 

    Prove that F_nk is divisible by F_n where F_i is the ith Fibonacci number. with f_0 = 0

    • Use mathematical induction to prove the statement

    • Base case: F_n0 = 0, F_n is also 0, so 0 is divisible by 0

    • Inductive step: Assume F_nk is divisible by F_n, prove F_n(k+1) is divisible by F_n

    • F_n(k+1) = F_nk + F_n(k-1), use the assumption to show that F_nk is divisible by F_n

    • Therefore, F_n(k+1) is also divisible by F_n

    • Hence, the statem

  • Ans. 

    Find the largest substring formed from repetition of a smaller string.

    • Identify all possible substrings of the given string.

    • Check if each substring can be formed by repeating a smaller string.

    • Return the largest substring that can be formed from repetition of a smaller string.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Unfortunately, I reached pretty late to this test and got only around half an hour to solve the questions. I picked up only algorithm questions to solve. I did not go through the entire paper. So can't comment much.
Duration: 120 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They asked me to write the entire code in C/C++/language of choice. I had three interviews (two of 40 min and the final of about 100 minutes). That is all I remember . There were many other questions though.

Interview Questionnaire 

5 Questions

  • Q1. Given a unit circle with center at origin, I choose three points on the circle. Find the expected length of the segment containing (1.0). Hint: answer is not 2*pi/3
  • Ans. 

    Expected length of segment containing (1,0) on a unit circle with three random points.

    • Use law of cosines to find length of each segment.

    • Calculate expected value using probability density function.

    • Answer is (4/pi) + (2/3).

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Given an undirected graph, if dist(u,v)>n/2. Show that there exists a vertex x such that removing x makes u and v go to different connected components.
  • Ans. 

    If dist(u,v)>n/2 in an undirected graph, there exists a vertex x such that removing x makes u and v go to different connected components.

    • Find the shortest path between u and v

    • If the path length is greater than n/2, then there must be a vertex x on the path

    • Removing x will separate u and v into different connected components

  • Q3. Consider the set S of the first 2n numbers, then show that for any subset of size n+1 of the set S, there exists 2 numbers u and v such that u divides v
  • Ans. 

    For any subset of size n+1 of the set S of the first 2n numbers, there exists 2 numbers u and v such that u divides v.

    • Divide the set S into two subsets of n numbers each.

    • By the pigeonhole principle, at least one of the subsets contains two numbers whose ratio is an integer.

    • If the subset contains n+1 numbers, then one of the numbers must be in the subset with the two numbers whose ratio is an integer.

    • Therefore, there ex

  • Q4. Show that for a grid of size n*n, if n is odd then there cannot be a Hamiltonian cycle in the graph
  • Ans. 

    For an odd-sized grid, there cannot be a Hamiltonian cycle in the graph.

    • A Hamiltonian cycle is a path that visits every vertex exactly once and ends at the starting vertex.

    • In an n*n grid, there are n^2 vertices and each vertex has degree 4.

    • For an odd n, the total degree of all vertices is odd, which means there cannot be a Hamiltonian cycle.
