3000 Bananas, One Camel of Capacity 1000 Bananas Puzzle

 

There is a camel which can carry max 1000 bananas at a time and eat 1 banana for every one kilometer. There 1000 km desert and you need to move this 3000 bananas across the desert. How many maximum bananas you can transfer the other end of desert.

if you think in strait way the max bananas will be 0.

but there is a solution:

lets talk about every km. you would like to transfer 1000 bananas 1 km. Now camel will take 1000 bananas and come back and again take 1000 bananas and come back and take 1000 bananas again. so there is total five trips to transfer 3000 banana 1 km. for this transfer camel will eat 5 bananas.

camel will take 5 trips until there is 2000 bananas so lets find out how main km camel will move until 2000 bananas left.

1000/5 =200 km

now for 2000 bananas camel will make 3 trips, so lets find out how many km camel will move until 1000 bananas left.

1000/3 = 333 km

so now there is only 1000 banana left and camel have moved to 200+333 = 533 km

left distance  = 1000-533 = 467 km

so at end left bananas  = 1000 - 467 = 533 bananas

there can be another solution when camel will not eat any banana while coming back and not carrying the bananas. in that can solution will be 833 bananas

25 Horses Puzzle to Find Top 3 Horses by Making the 5 Horses Group

 

you have 25 horses and 5 horse can race in a group. how many minimum races you have to do to find the top 3 horses in group.

ans:

step 1: divide 5 horses in 5 groups and race then (5 races).

Group A, Group B, Group C, Group D, Group E

step 2: take top from each race and race them ex. A1, B1, C1, D1, E1 (1 race)

step 3: Now suppose A1 top the race, so take second person from A's group and rest of person from step 2 ex. A2, B1, C1, D1, E1 (1 race ). Who ever will top the race will be top second

Step 4: Now Suppose B1 top the race,  so take second person from B's group and rest of person from step 3 ex. A2, B2, C1, D1, E1 (1 race ). Who ever will top the race will be top third

Congrats you got top 3 in just 5+1+1+1 = 8 races. 

Answer 2:

It can be more optimize and solution is 7 race.

After 6th race (step 2)

Discard the group C and D because we want only top 3.
Discard C2 onward (C2, C3 ..) because they will never come in top 3
Now Discard B3 onwards because B1 can be second and B2 can be third max.
So A1 is top 1
and you have qualified horses for second and third position is: A2, A3, B1, B2, C1
race then and find the top 2 and top 3.

Total races 5+1+1 = 7

What is Difference Between Layer Architecture and Tier Architecture?

 

Tier is physical separation of tiers. it basically specify different projects of .dll or .exe.

Layers are logical separation and divide the project logically. There is only one project and have logical division of files or folders.

Application Layer : basically soft
Application Tier : basically hard

Layer:
1)presentation layer
2)business layer
3)data access layer

Tiers:
1)Presentation tier (web server)
2)Application tier (application server)
3)data server tier (database server)

Rat and Poison Bottle Interview Puzzle

Rat and poison bottle puzzle:

Puzzle: There 8 bottles and one of them have poison. How may minimum rats you want to find out in which bottol have poison. Condition is that you need to feed all rats at same time and only once?

Answer: You need to mix the bottles in different combinations and then find out on the basis of which rat is dead.

(2) power 3 = 8 so you need minimum 3 rats to find the poisonous bottle.

lets have 3 rats A, B , C and you have to mix 8 bottles in such way that you get unique mixture.

we have bottles b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, b8

lets mix and make 3 mixtures:

lets represent every bottle in binary:
b1: 001
b2: 010
b3: 011
b4: 100
b5: 101
b6: 110
b7: 111
b8: leave it.

mix 1: which contains 1 at right most - b1,b3, b5, b7
mix 2: middle onc - b2, b3, b6, b7
mix 3: leftmost one: b4, b5, b6, b7

now give mix 1 to rat A
mix 2 to rat B
and mix 3 to rat C

if all three rats die it means b7 is common in all three mixture so b7 have poison
if non will die it means b8 have poison
if rat A only die it means b1 have poison
if rat A, B die it means b3 have poison etc
