Sample Hexaware questions with solutions

These are practice-style questions aligned to patterns students report for Hexaware 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: 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

Q2: 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

Q3: 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

Q4: 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%

Q5: Three workers

Problem: A finishes work in 12 days, B in 15 days, and C in 20 days. Working together, how many days do they need?

Solution: Take total work = LCM(12,15,20) = 60 units. A = 5/day, B = 4/day, C = 3/day. Combined = 12 units/day. Time = 60/12 = 5 days.

Answer: 5 days

Q6: Age ratio

Problem: The ratio of ages of A and B is 3:5. After 8 years the ratio becomes 5:7. Find A’s present age.

Solution: Let ages be 3x and 5x. (3x+8)/(5x+8) = 5/7 7(3x+8) = 5(5x+8) 21x + 56 = 25x + 40 4x = 16 → x = 4 A’s age = 12 years.

Answer: 12 years

Q7: 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

Q8: 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

Logical reasoning (2025)

Q1: Blood relation

Problem: Pointing to a photograph, Ravi says, ‘She is the daughter of my mother’s only son.’ How is the girl related to Ravi?

Solution: Ravi’s mother’s only son is Ravi himself (assuming one son). The girl is therefore Ravi’s daughter.

Answer: Daughter

Q2: Syllogism

Problem: Statements: All engineers are graduates. Some graduates are managers. Conclusion: Some engineers are managers. Does it follow?

Solution: The ‘some graduates’ who are managers need not overlap with the engineers. The conclusion does not follow necessarily.

Answer: Does not follow

Q3: Direction turn

Problem: A person walks 5 km north, then 3 km east, then 5 km south. How far is he from the start, and in which direction?

Solution: North 5 and south 5 cancel. He is 3 km east of the start.

Answer: 3 km east

Q4: Series multiply

Problem: Find the next number: 3, 9, 27, 81, ?

Solution: Each term is multiplied by 3. Next = 81 × 3 = 243.

Answer: 243

Coding practice (2025)

Coding Q1: 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

Hexaware 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: 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

Hexaware 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: 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

Hexaware 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: 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

Hexaware 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: 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)

Hexaware 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 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

Hexaware 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: Move zeros

Problem: Move all zeros in an array to the end while keeping the relative order of non-zero elements.

Approach: Two pointers: write non-zeros toward the front, then fill the remainder with zeros. Or swap zeros as you scan.

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

Hexaware 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: Rotate array

Problem: Rotate an array to the right by k steps. Example: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7], k = 3 → [5,6,7,1,2,3,4].

Approach: Normalize k %= n. Reverse the whole array, reverse the first k elements, then reverse the rest. That yields the rotation in place.

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

Hexaware 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.
