Know Why Interviewer Ask These Questions

‘Ok, tell me something about yourself,’ says interviewer and you are like, ‘Ohh God! Why? Why can he just not look into my resume and find out himself?’ and then you give an unprepared, vague answer, which simply doesn’t impress him.Has this situation or anything similar happened with you? Have you ever felt why did the interviewer ask this question? Yes, it’s true that the simplest questions are the trickiest ones, which may easily land you into trouble. And to get out of the trouble, one easy way is to STAY INFORMED & PREPARED!To answer these fiddly questions perfectly, you need to know 3 things, which are: purpose behind asking, what’s the trick behind it, and what response does interviewer want! Here are some such simplest questions, discussed upon these three aspects.

Q: Tell me one word that describes you the best
.Purpose: To know your personality, check your confidence level when it comes to self-awareness, and whether you are fit for the job role.
Trick: Multi personality being a common trait of many people, has made the interviewer come up with tricky questions to identify the real personality amidst the lot. With this one word, interviewer tries to reveal the real you
Expected Response: Be true and be self-informed! Know what is that one thing that over rules your persona, and think whether it goes well with the job profile you are looking for. Be you say you are creative, and then applying for banking job, it won’t really help you. So, find one best thing in you that fits to your job profile

.Q: What is your biggest strength & weakness?StrengthWeakness Why Did Interviewer Ask This Question? 
 Part 1Purpose: Every work has different requirement & every workplace has different culture. To ensure your adaptability level, interviewers ask this question.
Trick: Revealing both your strengths & weakness can land you into trouble. Your strengths might not go with what the job demands and on the other hand your weakness would reveal where you are not good at, which might go against you. In short, be extra prepared for this question.
Expected Response: Be smart with answering this question. Tell your strengths in a way that can overcome your weakness. Or when telling your weakness mention the positive points that you have taken to overcome your bad points.

Q: One reason for why your co-workers might not like you.
Purpose: To know if there is any obtrusive personality issue with you. They want to know what according to you can be the worst situation while working with you
.Trick: One answer that generally people give is ‘I cannot think of that situation that anyone wouldn’t like working with me.’ But with this, you can sound rude and insult the question of the interviewer. So, you again have to get hold of this trick and give a smart & sensible answer.
Expected Response:Surely, you do not have to start counting your negative points here. Instead, tell them that you have mostly experienced a positive response while working with people in the past. You can tell about one moment when you temporarily had a problem with your team for when you suggested a new idea and it demanded extra efforts from the team to execute it. Or something similar.

Tips and Tricks- Successive Discounts


Formula for successive discounts
a+b+(ab/100)
This is used for successive discounts types of sums.like 1999 population increases by 10% and then in 2000 by 5% so the population in 2000 now is 10+5+(50/100)=+15.5% more that was in 1999 and if there is a decrease then it will be preceded by a -ve sign and likewise.

Tips and Tricks- General Quantitative

Product Vs HCF-LCM
Product of any two numbers = Product of their HCF and LCM . Hence product of two numbers = LCM of the numbers if they are prime to each other

AM GM HM
For any 2 numbers a>b a>AM>GM>HM>b (where AM, GM ,HM stand for arithmetic, geometric , harmonic menasa respectively) (GM)^2 = AM * HM

Sum of Exterior Angles
For any regular polygon , the sum of the exterior angles is equal to 360 degrees hence measure of any external angle is equal to 360/n. ( where n is the number of sides)
For any regular polygon , the sum of interior angles =(n-2)180 degrees
So measure of one angle in
Square-----=90
Pentagon--=108
Hexagon---=120
Heptagon--=128.5
Octagon---=135
Nonagon--=140
Decagon--=144

Problems on clocks
Problems on clocks can be tackled as assuming two runners going round a circle , one 12 times as fast as the other . That is , the minute hand describes 6 degrees /minute the hour hand describes 1/2 degrees /minute . Thus the minute hand describes 5(1/2) degrees more than the hour hand per minute .
The hour and the minute hand meet each other after every 65(5/11) minutes after being together at midnight. (This can be derived from the above) .

Co-ordinates
Given the coordinates (a,b) (c,d) (e,f) (g,h) of a parallelogram , the coordinates of the meeting point of the diagonals can be found out by solving for [(a+e)/2,(b+f)/2] =[ (c+g)/2 , (d+h)/2]

Ratio
If a1/b1 = a2/b2 = a3/b3 = .............. , then each ratio is equal to (k1*a1+ k2*a2+k3*a3+..............) / (k1*b1+ k2*b2+k3*b3+..............) , which is also equal to (a1+a2+a3+............./b1+b2+b3+..........)

Finding multiples
x^n -a^n = (x-a)(x^(n-1) + x^(n-2) + .......+ a^(n-1) ) ......Very useful for finding multiples .For example (17-14=3 will be a multiple of 17^3 - 14^3)

Exponents
e^x = 1 + (x)/1! + (x^2)/2! + (x^3)/3! + ........to infinity 2 <>GP
-> In a GP the product of any two terms equidistant from a term is always constant .
-> The sum of an infinite GP = a/(1-r) , where a and r are resp. the first term and common ratio of the GP .

Mixtures
If Q be the volume of a vessel q qty of a mixture of water and wine be removed each time from a mixture n be the number of times this operation be done and A be the final qty of wine in the mixture then ,
A/Q = (1-q/Q)^n

Some Pythagorean triplets:
3,4,5----------(3^2=4+5)
5,12,13--------(5^2=12+13)
7,24,25--------(7^2=24+25)
8,15,17--------(8^2 / 2 = 15+17 )
9,40,41--------(9^2=40+41)
11,60,61-------(11^2=60+61)
12,35,37-------(12^2 / 2 = 35+37)
16,63,65-------(16^2 /2 = 63+65)
20,21,29-------(EXCEPTION)

Appolonius theorem
Appolonius theorem could be applied to the 4 triangles formed in a parallelogram.

Function
Any function of the type y=f(x)=(ax-b)/(bx-a) is always of the form x=f(y) .

Finding Squares
To find the squares of numbers from 50 to 59
For 5X^2 , use the formula
(5X)^2 = 5^2 +X / X^2
Eg ; (55^2) = 25+5 /25 =3025
(56)^2 = 25+6/36 =3136
(59)^2 = 25+9/81 =3481

Successive Discounts
Formula for successive discounts
a+b+(ab/100)
This is used for successive discounts types of sums.like 1999 population increases by 10% and then in 2000 by 5% so the population in 2000 now is 10+5+(50/100)=+15.5% more that was in 1999 and if there is a decrease then it will be preceded by a -ve sign and likewise.

Rules of Logarithms:
-> loga(M)=y if and only if M=ay
-> loga(MN)=loga(M)+loga(N)
-> loga(M/N)=loga(M)-loga(N)
-> loga(Mp)=p*loga(M)
-> loga(1)=0-> loga(ap)=p
-> log(1+x) = x - (x^2)/2 + (x^3)/3 - (x^4)/4 .........to infinity [ Note the alternating sign . .Also note that the logarithm is with respect to base e ]

Tips and Tricks- Inequalities


-> x + y >= x+y ( stands for absolute value or modulus ) (Useful in solving some inequations)
-> a+b=a+b if a*b>=0 else a+b >= a+b
-> 2<= (1+1/n)^n <=3 -> (1+x)^n ~ (1+nx) if x<<<1> When you multiply each side of the inequality by -1, you have to reverse the direction of the inequality.

Tips and Tricks - Maximum/Minimum problems


-> If for two numbers x+y=k(=constant), then their PRODUCT is MAXIMUM if x=y(=k/2). The maximum product is then (k^2)/4
-> If for two numbers x*y=k(=constant), then their SUM is MINIMUM if x=y(=root(k)). The minimum sum is then 2*root(k) .

Tips and Tricks - Reciprocal Roots

The equation whose roots are the reciprocal of the roots of the equation ax^2+bx+c is cx^2+bx+a
Roots
Roots of x^2+x+1=0 are 1,w,w^2 where 1+w+w^2=0 and w^3=1
Finding Sum of the rootsFor a cubic equation ax^3+bx^2+cx+d=o sum of the roots = - b/a sum of the product of the roots taken two at a time = c/a product of the roots = -d/a
For a biquadratic equation ax^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e = 0 sum of the roots = - b/a sum of the product of the roots taken three at a time = c/a sum of the product of the roots taken two at a time = -d/a product of the roots = e/a

Tips and Tricks - Finding number of Imaginary Roots


For an equation f(x)=0 , the maximum number of positive roots it can have is the number of sign changes in f(x) ; and the maximum number of negative roots it can have is the number of sign changes in f(-x) .
Hence the remaining are the minimum number of imaginary roots of the equation(Since we also know that the index of the maximum power of x is the number of roots of an equation.)

Tips and Tricks - Quantitative Aptitude Tests -Finding number of Factors

To find the number of factors of a given number, express the number as a product of powers of prime numbers.
In this case, 48 can be written as 16 * 3 = (24 * 3)
Now, increment the power of each of the prime numbers by 1 and multiply the result.
In this case it will be (4 + 1)*(1 + 1) = 5 * 2 = 10 (the power of 2 is 4 and the power of 3 is 1)

Therefore, there will 10 factors including 1 and 48. Excluding, these two numbers, you will have 10 – 2 = 8 factors.
