The interviewer wants to know that you don't just jump into a solution without knowing the problem in detail. You want to study the problem by determining the cause of the problem, what the problem is, and what the possible solutions are. You then decide on a solution.

Following steps for problem-solving and decision-making can be very helpful.

- Define the problem to be solved and decision to be made.
- Gather the necessary information.
- List all possible choices.
- Consider possible outcomes for each choice.
- Check out how you feel about each of the choices.
- Relate the choices to your values and priorities.
- From the possible alternatives, choose one.
- Commit yourself to your chosen decision and disregard the others. Concentrate your energies   in one direction. Once we made our decision, we must focus all our work on that itself.
- Take steps to turn your decision into positive action.
- Evaluate your progress from time to time. Change your decision if necessary.

India is a land of rivers. Rivers are generally treated as mothers and almost every major river of India has a legend regarding its origin.

The Ganges or Ganga is the longest river of India, if we consider the total distance covered by a river within India. Two major rivers of the Indian subcontinent – Brahmaputra and Indus – are though longer than the Ganges, but the distances these two rivers cover within India are much shorter than that of the Ganges.

The Ganges is the most sacred river to the Hindus. The Ganges originates from Gangotri Glacier (Uttarakhand). The total length that the Ganges covers during its journey is 2,525 kilometers (1569 miles) before it discharges in the Bay of Bengal.

The Godavari, also known as 'Dakshin Ganga' – the South Ganges, is the second longest river of India. It originates from Triambakeshwar, Nasik (Maharashtra), and travels through Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, before discharging into Bay of Bengal.

Birds speeds in mtrs/sec is 'x' and '2x' .
While flying from Engine to end, relative speed = (x+10) m/sec
from end to engine, flying speed = (2x - 10) mtr/sec
so
1000/(x+10) + 1000/(2x-10) = 187.5 secs
solving it, we get
so x = 8.728 m/sec and 2x= 17.456 m/sec

x = 31.4208 km/hr and 2x = 62.8416 km/hr.

Pageant is most similar in meaning to Show.

Here from 4th December 1999 to 3rd January 2000,
there is a difference of 30 days.
Number of odd days = 30/7 = 2 odd days

Then no. of odd days = 2 => tuesday and wednesday(from monday).

Hence on 3rd january it is wednesday.

The weight will be 250g plus (1.55 - 0.65)/0.10 units of 100g

250 + 900 = 1150

This is the maximum weight that can be sent at that price. But, weights exceeding

250 + 800 will also get charged this amount (that is what the ‘part thereof’ implies).

Hence a package weighing 1145 will be charged $1145

18 tens 20 ones, the given stateent can be split into

18 tens = 18 x 10 = 180

20 ones = 20 x 1 = 20

Then add both => 180 + 20 = 200

Hence, 18 tens 20 ones = 200.
