Sample Globallogic questions with solutions

These are practice-style questions aligned to patterns students report for GlobalLogic drives around 2026. They are not leaked live papers. Work them timed, then read the solutions only after you have an answer.

Quantitative aptitude (2026)

Q1: Boat upstream

Problem: A boat’s speed in still water is 15 km/h and the stream is 3 km/h. How long to cover 36 km upstream?

Solution: Upstream speed = 15 − 3 = 12 km/h. Time = 36 / 12 = 3 hours.

Answer: 3 hours

Q2: Mixture milk

Problem: A mixture has milk and water in the ratio 4:1. If 5 litres of water are added to 20 litres of mixture, what is the new milk:water ratio?

Solution: In 20 L: milk = 16 L, water = 4 L. After adding 5 L water: milk 16, water 9. Ratio = 16:9.

Answer: 16:9

Q3: CI vs SI hint

Problem: Find compound interest on ₹10,000 at 10% per annum for 2 years, compounded annually.

Solution: Amount = 10000 × (1.1)² = 10000 × 1.21 = ₹12,100. CI = 12100 − 10000 = ₹2100. (SI for same period would be ₹2000; the extra ₹100 is interest on first-year interest.)

Answer: ₹2100

Q4: Clock angle

Problem: What is the angle between the hour and minute hands at 3:00?

Solution: At 3:00 the hands are exactly 90° apart (one quarter of the circle).

Answer: 90°

Q5: 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

Q6: 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

Q7: 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

Q8: 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

Logical reasoning (2026)

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 (2026)

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

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: 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

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: 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

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: 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

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: 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 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

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: 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 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

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.
