Agios pharmaceuticals Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Ques:- There are 3 baskets. one of them have apples, one has oranges only and the other has mixture of apples and oranges. The labels on their baskets always lie. (i.e. if the label says oranges, you are sure that it doesn’t have oranges only,it could be a mixture) The task is to pick one basket and pick only one fruit from it and then correctly label all the three baskets.

Take one fruit from box with label mixture. If we see
orange, because the basket lies (it cant have a mixture),
then it has only oranges. The other 2 are labeled apples and
oranges. The one labeled apples,
cannot have oranges inside, cos they are allready been
identified, and because it lies, it cannot have apples either.
So it has a mixture. And we are left with the one labeled
oranges that lies and has apples.

Greatest number of 5 digits=99, 999
Smallest number of 5 digits=10, 000
And their sum=99, 999+10, 000=109, 999

Ques:- A batsman average was 15.at last innings he took 23 runs then his average became 16.how much run he should take to make his average 18?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:02:21:

((15 X m) + 23)/(m+1)= 16
solving , we get number of matches (m) as 7 (excluding last
match)
so he shud hit 39 runs in last innings to ake average to 18

Ques:- Let S be the set of prime numbers greater than or equal to 2 and less than 100. Multiply all the elements of S. With how many consecutive zeros will the product end?
A. 1
B. 4
C. 5
D. 10
Recent Answer : Added by Yash G On 2023-03-01 17:24:09:

To determine how many consecutive zeros the product of S will end with, we need to find the highest power of 10 that divides the product. This is equivalent to finding the highest power of 5 that divides the product, since the number of factors of 2 will always be greater than the number of factors of 5.

The primes in S are {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97}.

There are 24 primes in S, so the product of S is:

2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 11 x 13 x 17 x 19 x 23 x 29 x 31 x 37 x 41 x 43 x 47 x 53 x 59 x 61 x 67 x 71 x 73 x 79 x 83 x 89 x 97

We need to find the highest power of 5 that divides this product. To do this, we count the number of factors of 5 in the prime factorization of each number in S.

5 appears once: 5
5 appears once: 25
5 appears once: 35
5 appears once: 55
5 appears once: 65
5 appears once: 85
So, there are six factors of 5 in the product of S. However, we also need to consider the powers of 5 that arise from the factors 25, 35, 55, and 65.

25 = 5 x 5 appears once: 25
35 = 5 x 7 appears once: 35
55 = 5 x 11 appears once: 55
65 = 5 x 13 appears once: 65
Each of these numbers contributes an additional factor of 5 to the product of S. Therefore, there are 6 + 4 = 10 factors of 5 in the product of S.

Since each factor of 5 corresponds to a factor of 10, we know that the product of S will end with 10 zeros. Therefore, the product of S will end with 10 consecutive zeros

Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-30 16:27:10:

Answer: 5400

Explanation:
100x + 400 = 12(x – 5)

x = 50

100 * 50 + 400 = 5400

Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 11:59:30:

20/- per day
So, if he work one day
So,1*20=20
1/3*20=20/3
2/3*20=40/3
1/8*20=5/2
3/4*20=15
so,
20+20/3+40/3+5/2+15=57.5
So ans is 57.5 is the ans
