Congratulations on landing an interview! As a fresher, you
might be wondering what kind of questions you'll face in your interview. In
this blog, we'll take a look at some of the most common interview questions
asked to fresher and how you can best prepare to answer them.
1)Tell me about yourself?
This
question is often used to break the ice and to learn about the candidate's
background. Start with your name, your education, and your major. Then,
highlight your skills and strengths that relate to the job. End with a sentence
or two about why you're interested in the position.
2)What are your strengths and weaknesses?
The interviewer wants to know what you excel at and where you could improve. Talk about a couple of strengths that align with the job description. When it comes to weaknesses, pick one that isn't essential for the role, and describe how you're working on improving it.
3)Why do you want to work for our company?
This is your chance to show the interviewer that you've done your
research. Talk about the company's values and how they align with your own.
Mention specific projects or initiatives that interest you, and how you could
contribute to them.
4)What motivates you?
This
question is designed to learn about your work ethic and drive. Mention a
personal goal that you've achieved or something that inspires you. Be honest,
but keep it professional.
5)What are your long-term career goals?
The interviewer wants to know if you're thinking about your future and
if you're a good fit for the company. Talk about your long-term career goals,
but make sure they align with the company's goals. Mention how this position
can help you achieve those goals.
6)How do you handle stress?
The
interviewer wants to know how you cope with challenging situations. Mention a
time when you were under pressure and how you managed to handle it. Talk about
your coping strategies, whether it's exercise or taking breaks.
7)Can you give me an example of a time when you worked in a team?
Most jobs require teamwork, and the interviewer
wants to know if you're a good team player. Talk about a successful project you
worked on in a group and your role in it. Mention how you communicated with
your team members and how you resolved conflicts.
8)Do you have any questions for us?
At the end of the interview, the interviewer will give you a chance to ask
questions. This is your chance to learn more about the job and the company. Ask
about the day-to-day responsibilities, the company culture, and the
opportunities for growth.
Preparing for an interview can be nerve-wracking, but practicing your responses to these common interview questions can help you feel more confident. Remember to stay calm, be yourself, and show the interviewer why you're the perfect candidate for the job.
1) A car travels 60 km in 2 hours.
What is its speed in km/hr?
Solution:
To solve this question, you can
use the formula:
Speed = Distance / Time
Distance = 60 km Time = 2 hours
Speed = 60 / 2 = 30 km/hr
Therefore, the car's speed is 30
km/hr.
2) A fruit seller has 100 oranges,
out of which 30 are spoiled. What percentage of oranges are good?
To find the percentage of good
oranges, we need to subtract the number of spoiled oranges from the total
number of oranges, then divide that by the total number of oranges and multiply
by 100.
Solution:
Number of good oranges = 100 - 30
= 70 Percentage of good oranges = (70/100) x 100 = 70%
Therefore, 70% of the oranges are
good.
If a number is divided by 4, the
remainder is 1. What is the remainder when the square of the same number is
divided by 4?
Let's assume the number is x.
When x is divided by 4, the remainder is 1, so we can write:
x = 4a + 1, where a is some
integer.
Now, we need to find the
remainder when x^2 is divided by 4:
x^2 = (4a + 1)^2 = 16a^2 + 8a + 1
When we divide this expression by
4, we get a remainder of 1:
x^2 = 4(4a^2 + 2a) + 1
Therefore, the remainder when the
square of the number is divided by 4 is 1.
3.A cube is painted on all its
faces and then cut into smaller cubes of the same size. How many cubes will
have no face painted?
If the original cube is painted
on all its faces, each face will have a painted area of the same size as the
area of one face of the cube. Therefore, when the cube is cut into smaller
cubes, each smaller cube that does not have any painted faces will be located
at one of the corners of the original cube.
The number of corners in a cube
is 8, so there will be 8 smaller cubes that have no face painted.
Therefore, 8 cubes will have no
face painted.
If x + 2y = 8 and 3x - 2y = 1,
what is the value of x?
We can solve this system of
equations by eliminating y:
Multiply the first equation by 2:
2x + 4y = 16 Multiply the second equation by 2: 6x - 4y = 2
Add the two equations: 8x = 18
Divide by 8: x = 2.25
Therefore, the value of x is
2.25.
Here are some more examples of
aptitude questions along with their solutions:
1. If 20% of a number is 30, what is
the number?
Solution:
Let's assume the number is x. We
can write this problem as an equation:
20% of x = 30
To solve for x, we need to first
convert the percentage to a decimal:
20% = 0.2
Now we can solve for x:
0.2x = 30 x = 30 / 0.2 x = 150
Therefore, the number is 150.
The ratio of the number of boys
to girls in a class is 3:5. If there are 24 boys in the class, how many girls
are there?
Let's assume the number of girls
is y. We can write this problem as an equation using the ratio:
3/5 = 24/y
To solve for y, we can cross-multiply
and simplify:
3y = 120 y = 40
Therefore, there are 40 girls in
the class.
2. A train travels a distance of 600
km in 8 hours. If the speed of the train is increased by 20 km/hr, how long
will it take to travel the same distance?
To solve this problem, we can use
the formula:
Distance = Speed x Time
Let's assume the initial speed of
the train is x km/hr. We can write the first equation:
600 = x x 8
Solving for x, we get:
x = 75 km/hr
Now, if the speed of the train is
increased by 20 km/hr, the new speed is:
75 + 20 = 95 km/hr
To find the time it takes to
travel the same distance, we can use the same formula with the new speed:
600 = 95 x t
Solving for t, we get:
t = 6.32 hours
Therefore, it will take the train
6.32 hours to travel the same distance at the increased speed.
3.A box contains 8 blue balls and 6
red balls. If two balls are drawn at random, what is the probability that both
balls are red?
Solution:
The total number of balls in the
box is:
8 + 6 = 14
The probability of drawing a red
ball on the first draw is:
6/14
After the first ball is drawn,
there are 13 balls left in the box, of which 5 are red. So the probability of
drawing a red ball on the second draw, given that the first ball was red, is:
5/13
To find the probability of
drawing two red balls, we need to multiply the probabilities of the two events:
(6/14) x (5/13) = 15/91
Therefore, the probability of
drawing both balls red is 15/91.
I hope this helps!
