Sample BrowserStack questions with solutions

These are practice-style questions aligned to patterns students report for BrowserStack drives around 2025. They are not leaked live papers. Work them timed, then read the solutions only after you have an answer.

Quantitative aptitude (2025)

Q1: Pipe fill

Problem: Pipe A fills a tank in 6 hours and pipe B in 8 hours. How long do they take together to fill it?

Solution: Combined rate = 1/6 + 1/8 = 4/24 + 3/24 = 7/24. Time = 24/7 hours ≈ 3 hours 26 minutes.

Answer: 24/7 hours

Q2: Simple interest

Problem: Find the simple interest on ₹8000 at 10% per annum for 2 years.

Solution: SI = (P × R × T) / 100 = (8000 × 10 × 2) / 100 = ₹1600.

Answer: ₹1600

Q3: Percentage recover

Problem: If 30% of a number is 150, what is the number?

Solution: 0.3x = 150 → x = 150 / 0.3 = 500.

Answer: 500

Q4: Average after replace

Problem: The average of five numbers is 20. One number 30 is replaced by 10. What is the new average?

Solution: Old sum = 5 × 20 = 100. New sum = 100 − 30 + 10 = 80. New average = 80 / 5 = 16.

Answer: 16

Q5: Series n(n+1)

Problem: Find the next term: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?

Solution: Pattern: 1×2, 2×3, 3×4, 4×5, 5×6, 6×7. Next = 6 × 7 = 42.

Answer: 42

Q6: Deck probability

Problem: What is the probability of drawing an ace from a standard 52-card deck?

Solution: There are 4 aces in 52 cards. Probability = 4/52 = 1/13.

Answer: 1/13

Q7: Net percent change

Problem: A number is increased by 20% and then decreased by 20%. What is the net percentage change?

Solution: Start with 100 → 120 → 96. Net change = 4% decrease. Formula: successive +a then −a gives −(a²/100)% = −4%.

Answer: 4% decrease

Q8: Consumption cut

Problem: If the price of an item rises by 25%, by what percent should consumption fall so that expenditure stays the same?

Solution: Required reduction = r/(100+r) × 100 with r = 25. = 25/125 × 100 = 20%.

Answer: 20%

Coding practice (2025)

Coding Q1: Maximum subarray sum (Kadane)

Problem: Given an integer array, find the contiguous subarray with the largest sum and return that sum. Example: [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4] → 6 (from [4,-1,2,1]).

Approach: Keep a running sum. If the running sum drops below 0, reset it to 0 before taking the next element (or track the best ending-here value). Track the global maximum as you scan once from left to right.

Complexity: O(n) time, O(1) extra space

BrowserStack tip: Restate the problem, sketch a brute-force idea, then tighten it. Call out edge cases (empty input, single element, overflow) before you write code.

Coding Q2: Reverse a string in place

Problem: Given a mutable character array representing a string, reverse it in place without allocating another array of the same size.

Approach: Use two pointers at the start and end. Swap characters, then move inward until the pointers meet. Watch empty and single-character inputs.

Complexity: O(n) time, O(1) extra space

BrowserStack tip: Restate the problem, sketch a brute-force idea, then tighten it. Call out edge cases (empty input, single element, overflow) before you write code.

Coding Q3: Check prime

Problem: Write a function that returns true if n is prime and false otherwise. Handle n < 2 correctly.

Approach: Return false for n < 2. Trial-divide from 2 to floor(sqrt(n)). If any divisor divides n evenly, it is composite; otherwise prime.

Complexity: O(√n) time

BrowserStack tip: Restate the problem, sketch a brute-force idea, then tighten it. Call out edge cases (empty input, single element, overflow) before you write code.

Coding Q4: Valid parentheses

Problem: Given a string containing only ‘()[]’, decide whether the brackets are balanced and correctly nested.

Approach: Scan left to right with a stack. Push opening brackets. On a closing bracket, the stack top must be the matching opener. At the end the stack must be empty.

Complexity: O(n) time, O(n) space

BrowserStack tip: Restate the problem, sketch a brute-force idea, then tighten it. Call out edge cases (empty input, single element, overflow) before you write code.

Coding Q5: Two Sum

Problem: Given an array of integers and a target, return indices of two numbers that add up to the target. Assume exactly one solution and you may not use the same element twice.

Approach: Walk the array once. For each value x, check whether target − x was seen earlier in a hash map of value → index. If yes, return both indices; else store x.

Complexity: O(n) time, O(n) space

BrowserStack tip: Restate the problem, sketch a brute-force idea, then tighten it. Call out edge cases (empty input, single element, overflow) before you write code.

Coding Q6: Longest substring without repeating characters

Problem: Given a string s, find the length of the longest substring without repeating characters. Example: ‘abcabcbb’ → 3 (‘abc’).

Approach: Sliding window with a map (or last-seen index) of characters. Expand the right pointer; when a duplicate appears inside the window, move the left pointer past the previous occurrence.

Complexity: O(n) time

BrowserStack tip: Restate the problem, sketch a brute-force idea, then tighten it. Call out edge cases (empty input, single element, overflow) before you write code.

Coding Q7: Merge overlapping intervals

Problem: Given a list of intervals [start, end], merge all overlapping intervals and return the non-overlapping set that covers the same ranges.

Approach: Sort by start time. Walk once, merging into the last interval in the result when the next start is ≤ current end; otherwise append a new interval.

Complexity: O(n log n) time from the sort

BrowserStack tip: Restate the problem, sketch a brute-force idea, then tighten it. Call out edge cases (empty input, single element, overflow) before you write code.

Coding Q8: Top K frequent elements

Problem: Given an integer array and an integer k, return the k most frequent elements. Order among equals can be arbitrary unless the problem says otherwise.

Approach: Count frequencies with a hash map, then use a heap of size k (or bucket sort by frequency) to extract the top k keys.

Complexity: O(n log k) with a heap

BrowserStack tip: Restate the problem, sketch a brute-force idea, then tighten it. Call out edge cases (empty input, single element, overflow) before you write code.

Deep prep notes for BrowserStack

How the BrowserStack OA usually feels

Students usually say the first round is time-tight - easy marks vanish if you sit too long on one hard question. For BrowserStack, skim the paper in a couple of minutes, mark what you can finish cleanly, and protect accuracy. Languages people commonly use: Java, JavaScript, Python, Go.

Topic weight hints

Area Why it matters at BrowserStack
DSA What usually helps you clear the first round
Core CS (OOPs / DBMS / OS) Technical interview depth
