You are working with a tough client who wants a certain project to be done in 28 hours.

As per
your estimate, it will require 5 people to complete the work. Just before the project is about to
start the client comes up with a request to complete the work in 18 hours. How many extra
people would you require to complete the project now assuming that employees are not allowed
to stretch beyond working hours?

Solution:-

If 5 people complete in 28 hours:-

The total working hours will be
28*5= 140 hours

To complete in 18 hours:-
The total work hours will be
x*18=140 hours

Solving for x:-

x=140/18
x=7.78

Therefore, 8 people would be required to complete this in a span of 18 hours

You have a set of 9 random numbers. If 1 number is replaced by a unique number what will be
the impact on the mean and median of the population?

Mean = Sum of observations /Number of Observations.

Consider Original mean of 9 numbers as (Sum/9)

Let the number to be replaced is X and is replaced by Y

Now, Mean with replaced number

= (Sum -X +Y )/9
= Sum/9 -X/9 + Y/9
= Sum/9 + (Y-X)/9
=Old mean + (Y-X)/9

Hence. The new mean will be equal to the old mean added to the difference between the old
number and the new number divided by the number of observations in the population which in
this case is 9.

Median= (9+1)/2
In case of 9 numbers, the median will be the number at 5th position where all the 9 numbers are
arranged in ascending or descending order.
If the number replaced is the number at 5th position, then the new number will be the median. In
any other case, there will be no change on the median

In the above population, what if 2 numbers are replaced by 2 unique numbers. What will be the
impact on the mean and median of the population?

Considering same formulas as above:-

Let the numbers to be replaced are A and B to be replaced by X and Y

(Sum/9) + {(X+Y)/9- (A+B)/9}/9

Median= (9+1)/2
In case of 9 numbers, the median will be the number at 5th position where all the 9 numbers are
arranged in ascending or descending order.

If the number replaced is the number at 5th position, then the new number will be the median. In
any other case, there will be no change on the median

Suppose you have a total experience of 6 years 7 months.

Is it fine to write it as 6.7 years?

Solution:- No

If the answer is No, what should 6 years 7 months be written as, if converted into years
1 year =12 months
1/12 year = 1 month
(1/12)*7= 0.58
Hence, 6 years and7 months can be called as 6.58 years

Q4
If 280 gms of coffee costs Rs.79, how much will 2.7Kgs cost?

Solution:-
280 gm= 79Rs
1 gm= 79/280 Rs
1 gm= .282 Rs

2.7Kgs= 2700 gm

Therefore, total cost:-

2700*0.282= 761.4 Rs

Therefore, cost of coffee for 2.7 kgs will be 761.4 Rs

In a company the average salary of four employees is Rs.17167 per month. If employee A earns
Rs.21345, employee B earns Rs. 14367, employee D earns 10054, how much does employee
C earn?

Average= Sum of observations/number of observations

Let salary of C = x

(21345 + 14367 + x + 10054)/4 = 17167

(45766+x)/4=17167

45766+ x = 17167 * 4

Solving for x:-

= 22902

Therefore, Salary of C will be Rs 22902
