Taylor Leibow Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Mr. Brown painted the first whole house in 6 days plus 1/3 of the second house in the next 2 days. Mr. Black can paint a whole house in 8 days and had 8 days to work, so he painted the equivalent of 1 whole house. That accounts for 2-1/3 houses painted. Mr. Blue only needs to paint 2/3 of the last house, so 2/3 times 12 days equals 8 days.

Thin candle melts 3/4 in 3 hours leaving 1/4
Where as in the same time thick candle melts 3/6 leaving 3/6 which is 1/2. Now thick candle is exactly twice than the thin candle.

Or via modeling:

We need to find time at which the length of the thin candle is half the thick candle. Let x be the time. Thin candle melts at 1/4 an hour and thick candle melts at 1/6 an hour. In x hours they melt at x/4 and x/6 respectively. What’s left will be 1 – x/4 and 1 – x/6. We need to find x at which :

2 * (1 – (x/4)) = 1 – (x/6)

This equation results in x = 3

I have seen a few say 25% as an answer to this. But looks
like their math isn’t good and is extremeley complex to
have an asnwer of 25% to this question. Consider – Rs.1.00/-
per mango; so 40 mangoes = Rs.40.00/-, implies Rs.4.00/-
extra at the end of the deal. So he’s left with Rs.44.00/-
after selling 40 mangoes implies a profit of Rs.4.00/- over
Rs.40.00 = 44/40 = 110% which means his profit is 10%.
Hope this helps…
Thanks.

to find the root of f(x) = 0;

x = 5/3y
x – 4 = y + 4
x – 8 = y
x = 5/3 * (x-8)
5/3x – 40/3 = x
2/3x = 40/3
2x = 40
x = 20
y = 20 – 8
y = 12
x + 4 = 24
y – 4 = 8
Ratio is 24:8 , so 3:1
