Quantitative aptitude (2024)

Q1: Permutation basic

Problem: In how many ways can 5 different books be arranged on a shelf?

Solution: Arrangements of 5 distinct items = 5! = 120.

Answer: 120

Q2: Consecutive integers

Problem: If the sum of three consecutive integers is 72, what is the smallest of these integers?

Solution: Let the integers be x, x+1, and x+2.

x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 72 3x + 3 = 72 3x = 69 x = 23

So the integers are 23, 24, and 25.

Answer: 23

Q3: Train and pole

Problem: A train 150 meters long passes a pole in 15 seconds. What is its speed in km/h?

Solution: Distance = 150 m = 0.15 km. Time = 15 s = 15/3600 h = 1/240 h. Speed = 0.15 ÷ (1/240) = 0.15 × 240 = 36 km/h.

Faster check: 150/15 = 10 m/s → 10 × 18/5 = 36 km/h.

Answer: 36 km/h

Q4: Profit on a pen

Problem: If the cost price of a pen is ₹40 and it is sold at a 25% profit, what is the selling price?

Solution: Profit = 25% of 40 = ₹10. Selling price = 40 + 10 = ₹50.

Or SP = CP × 1.25 = 40 × 1.25 = ₹50.

Answer: ₹50

Q5: A and B together

Problem: A can finish a job in 10 days and B in 20 days. How long will they take working together?

Solution: A’s one-day work = 1/10. B’s one-day work = 1/20. Together = 1/10 + 1/20 = 3/20 per day. Time = 20/3 ≈ 6.67 days (6 days 16 hours).

Answer: 20/3 days

Q6: Sum of naturals

Problem: What is the sum of the first 50 natural numbers?

Solution: Sum of first n naturals = n(n+1)/2. For n = 50: 50 × 51 / 2 = 1275.

Answer: 1275

Q7: Average speed

Problem: A person covers a distance at 60 km/h and returns at 40 km/h. What is the average speed for the whole trip?

Solution: For equal distances, average speed = 2ab/(a+b). = 2×60×40 / (60+40) = 4800/100 = 48 km/h.

Do not take the arithmetic mean (50); that would be wrong here.

Answer: 48 km/h

Q8: Marked price discount

Problem: A shopkeeper marks goods 20% above cost and then gives a 10% discount. What is the profit percentage?

Solution: Let CP = ₹100. Marked price = ₹120. Discount = 10% of 120 = ₹12. SP = 120 − 12 = ₹108. Profit % = 8%.

Answer: 8%

Logical reasoning (2024)

Q1: Seating hint

Problem: Five friends sit in a row. A is to the left of B but right of C. D is to the right of B and left of E. Who is in the middle?

Solution: Order from left to right: C, A, B, D, E. The middle seat is B.

Answer: B

Q2: Analogy

Problem: Book is to Reading as Fork is to ?

Solution: A book is used for reading; a fork is used for eating.

Answer: Eating

Q3: Odd one out

Problem: Find the odd one out: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11

Solution: 3, 5, 7, and 11 are prime. 9 = 3×3 is composite, so it is the odd one out.

Answer: 9

Q4: Coding letter shift

Problem: If CAT is coded as DBU, how is DOG coded in the same way?

Solution: Each letter moves +1 in the alphabet: C→D, A→B, T→U. D→E, O→P, G→H → EPH.

Answer: EPH

Coding practice (2024)

Coding Q1: 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

GlobalLogic 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: 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

GlobalLogic 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: 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

GlobalLogic 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: 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

GlobalLogic 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: Linked list cycle

Problem: Given the head of a linked list, return true if there is a cycle and false otherwise.

Approach: Floyd’s tortoise and hare: move one pointer one step and another two steps. If they meet, a cycle exists. If the fast pointer hits null, there is no cycle.

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

GlobalLogic 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: Binary tree level order

Problem: Given the root of a binary tree, return the level-order traversal (breadth-first) as a list of levels.

Approach: Use a queue. For each level, drain the current queue size, collect values, and enqueue children for the next level.

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

GlobalLogic 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: Coin change (min coins)

Problem: Given coin denominations and an amount, return the fewest coins needed to make that amount, or -1 if it is impossible.

Approach: Unbounded knapsack DP: let dp[x] be the minimum coins for amount x. For each coin, update dp[c..amount]. Initialize dp[0] = 0 and the rest to a large sentinel.

Complexity: O(amount × coins)

GlobalLogic 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: Binary search

Problem: Given a sorted array of distinct integers and a target, return the index of target or -1 if missing.

Approach: Maintain lo/hi. Compare mid with target and shrink the half that cannot contain it. Careful with overflow-free mid and empty arrays.

Complexity: O(log n) time

GlobalLogic 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 Globallogic

How the Globallogic online test usually feels

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