  • Q1. How would you find the square root of a number using code? (Answer: Binary Search)
  • Ans. 

    Use binary search to efficiently find the square root of a number by narrowing down the range of possible values.

    • 1. Initialize low as 0 and high as the number (n).

    • 2. Calculate mid as (low + high) / 2.

    • 3. If mid * mid equals n, return mid as the square root.

    • 4. If mid * mid is less than n, set low to mid + 1.

    • 5. If mid * mid is greater than n, set high to mid - 1.

    • 6. Repeat until low exceeds high, returning the closest inte...

  • Q2. Check if a linked list is looped onto itself (Answer: Hashmaps)
  • Ans. 

    To check if a linked list is looped onto itself, we can use hashmaps.

    • Create an empty hashmap

    • Traverse the linked list, for each node check if it already exists in the hashmap

    • If a node already exists, it means the linked list is looped

    • If the traversal completes without finding a loop, the linked list is not looped

  • Q3. Prove that p^2-1 is divisible by 8. Divisible by 24? (p is a prime) Is this true for all primes?
  • Ans. 

    p^2-1 is divisible by 8 and 24 for all primes.

    • To prove p^2-1 is divisible by 8, consider the possible remainders of p when divided by 8.

    • To prove p^2-1 is divisible by 24, consider the possible remainders of p when divided by 24.

  • Q5. What is the probability that three unbiased dices to roll such that a>b>c. Extrapolate to five random number generators (1 to n)
  • Ans. 

    Probability of rolling three unbiased dices such that a>b>c and extrapolating to five random number generators.

    • The probability of rolling three unbiased dices such that a>b>c is 1/216.

    • To extrapolate to five random number generators, we need to calculate the probability of generating five random numbers such that the first is greater than the second, the second is greater than the third, and so on.

  • Q6. 50 red marbles, 50 blue marbles. 2 jars in a room. Divide the marbles into the 2 jars such that you maximise the probability that a blind man picks up a red marble
  • Ans. 

    To maximize the probability of picking a red marble, divide the marbles unevenly, with more red marbles in one jar.

    • Place 49 red marbles and 1 blue marble in one jar, and the remaining 1 red marble and 49 blue marbles in the other jar.

    • This way, the blind man has a higher chance of picking the jar with 49 red marbles and 1 blue marble.

    • The probability of picking a red marble from the first jar is 49/50, while from the sec...

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Good. No glitches.
Tips: I had made a specific resume for Analytics/ Finance/ Consult profile. Since I had absolutely no economics coursework to talk about, I included a line about interests and wrote "economics, current affairs and languages" under that heading. I think my Data Analytics course and knowledge of quite a few programming languages helped. The 3 main categories in my CV were Academics, Co curricular, and Leadership.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Extremely good experience- I was out of the country and they accommodated my needs and video interviewed me. More importantly, there was an audio glitch that we couldn't diagnose- the interviewers were very patient and used Whatsapp call for the entire audio portion of the interview!
Tips: Stay calm, and tell them what you are thinking in clear terms. This way, even if you don't get the final answer, you will be given points for your thought process. I actually approached quite a few problems incorrectly, but since I was explaining my thoughts to them, they quickly helped me course correct by giving hints, and I took it forward from there.

Round: Other Interview
Experience: Again, very good experience! Accommodated my being in a different timezone very well.
Tips: Same as interview one.

General Tips: Stay calm, and prepare "walk me through your CV" properly.
Skill Tips: Study Probab, Geeksforgeeks, etc.
Skills: Probability Concepts, Algorithms And Data Structures, Basic Coding, Ability To Analyse
Duration: 2
College Name: IIT Madras
Motivation: Dream company!

5 wer selected in this test who wer nw sent for interviews
TECHNICAL INTERVIEW: (pls list the questions asked in all the rounds)
26 shortlisted after apti (14 directly for interviews & 12 had one more technical on paper test...mentioned above)
der wer min 2 technical rounds for each of them...max were 5

- You are given course dependencies
A->B,C
B->D
C->A
D->nothing
The above dependencies mean...if you want to take course A...you should take courses B and C first....To take B,Course D must be taken first....D is an independent course and can be taken without any prior requirements.
Now you are told these dependencies.Come up with an appropriate data structure to represent these dependencies.Then write a code that finds out all the courses that the student can take up...in this case the student can first take course D because its independent.Now that course D has been taken he can next take up B as it depends on B alone...But the courses A and C can never be taken because they depend on each other...So here all the courses that can be taken are B and D.
After i wrote the code....he asked for all possible test cases
-Given an array of length N....It can be filled with nos. only from 1 to N....find which nos are repeated in the array
-Given pointers to two nodes in a binary tree....find their least common ancestor...each node has pointer to only the parent node...not the left and right child..
-In a binary tree(Not necessarily a BST)...suppose the weight of any node is defined as the product of the key value of the node and the level of the node(Root at level 1)...find the node with maximum weight in the binary tree
-A sorted array of size n is right circularly rotated k times and this rotated array is given to you as input...Find out the value of k in log n time .
-There are some processes running at time T....and there are processes running at time T+30.
You have to find out
1)Which processes died at time T+30,which were alive at time T
2)Which are the new processes at time T+30,which were not there at time T
3)Which are the processes that were there at time T and are still running at time T+30
What data structure will you use to represent the process lists and write code to find out the answers to the 3 questions above
-Given a binary search tree...and a target sum...starting at the root...which all paths add up to the target sum?...if there are multiple paths....return the path with least no. of nodes.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Basic CAT level questions of Data Sufficiency
Tips: CAT preparation would help. Strong basics in High school mathematics needed, along with some smart thinking at times.
Duration: 30 minutes
Total Questions: 50

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: 15 minutes given for an almost impossible to get an answer problem. Later asked to explain your solution. The approach matters much much more than the final answer.
Tips: Be cool, think basics. Don't forget elementary things that units conversion, unitary methods, probability distributions etc. If while explaining, you realize you actually made a mistake while attempting the problem, acknowledge it and explain the correct approach from there on, rather than trying to disguise your mistake.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Things like, why Citi, prior experience with data analytics, examples from real life for mathematical concepts highlighted in Resume. Some general awareness related questions asked!
Tips: Be thorough through the resume. Act smart and reply what they want to hear. It's okay to ask them for a few minutes in case you want to think before answering something rather than mumbling what comes to your mind first!

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Again things like why Citi, why analytics. This round seemed more out of formality than for selection.

General Tips: Keep calm, and take the interview as a conversation - unless it's a stress interview. Always take your time and think before you answer anything rather than mumbling out the first thing that comes to your mind.
Skills: Probability, Statistics, Analytical skills
