Princeton Blue Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Doug won the race
Explanation-
The ratio of steps covered by me, Doug, and Anne is = 6:7:8

Since Distance covered in Me 21 steps = Distance covered by Doug 24 steps = Distance covered by Anne 28 steps

LCM (21, 24, 28) = 168

For a distance of 168 units, the ratio of the distance covered in each step is;
= 8 : 7 : 6
Therefore the ratio of speeds is;
= 8×6: 7×7: 6×8
= 48 : 49 : 48

Here, the speed of the Doug is more than the speed of me and Anne
Hence, Doug won the race

610 × 717 × 1127
= (2 × 3)10 × 717 × 1127
= 210 × 310 × 717 × 1127
Number of prime factors in the given expression
= (10 + 10 + 17 + 27)
= 64

Complete step-by-step answer:
Investment made by A for 1 year, IA=2000
Investment made by B for 2 year,
IB=2×3000IB=6000

Investment made by C for 2 year,
IC=2×4000IC=8000
The ratio of their investment is given by
IA:IB:IC=2000:6000:8000
To simplify the ratio divide it by 1000,
IA:IB:IC=2:6:8
Now again to simplify divide the ratio by 2,
IA:IB:IC=1:3:4
The total parts of this investment =1+3+4=8
A’s share in the investment is 1 out of the 8 parts; B’s share is 3 out of 8 while C’s share is 4.
Therefore, the profit share of A’s investment of Rs. 2000=18×3200=400.

Here is the ans with explanation…..
Just divide 48 hours into 8 parts…
for flowchart its 1/4 so it is 2/8 = 12hours
For Coding it is 3/8 = 18 hours
the rest is again 3/8 = 18 hours for debugging..

Let ‘x’ be the number of perons in the group and let ‘y’ be
amount per head which they have to pay.
Then xy = 2400.
or y = 2400/x
Since two friends have forget the purse, x-2 persons should
share the total amount(2400).
If they share, they have to make an extra contribution of
Rs 100 to pay up the bill
That is x-2 persons should pay y+100 each
or (x-2)(y+100) = 2400
or y+100 = 2400/(x-2)
or y = 2400/(x-2) – 100
Therefore we have got two equations namely,
y= 2400/x and y = 2400/(x-2) – 100
Comparing these two, we get
2400/x = 2400/(x-2) – 100
Solving this we get
x^2 – 2x -48 = 0
or (x-8) (x+6) = 0
or x = 8 or x = -6
Since ‘x’ denote the number of persons, it should be
positive.
So, x = 8.

In 30 mins- Thief – 20km, Owner – 0km
In 1hr – Thief – 40km, Owner – 25km
In 1.5hrs – Thief – 60km, Owner – 50km
In 2hrs – Thief – 80km, Owner – 75km
In 2.5hrs – Thief – 100km, Owner – 100km

Answer: In 2.5 hours the owner would have overtaken the Theif

( d ) Cannot be determined

From the first statement
Speed=distance/time
=>240/24=10m/s
so speed=10m/s
From the second statement
distance=length of the platform+length of the train=650+240=890m
Time=distance/speed
here, the speed of the train is already calculated
=>890/10=89s
So the time taken by the train to cross the platform is 89 seconds
