10) A man enquires a person about the past 5 days temperatures at
12 noon
in that region. The other replies that he doesn't remember the
actual
figures but there was a different temperature on each day and
that their
product gives 12. Assuming the temperature to the nearest degree
what are
the temperatures on the five days?
Ans: -1,-2,1,2,3



We know that the smallest two integers that can give a product of
12 is
3*4 which is spilt up as 2*2*3. But no temperature is the
same...hence
use -2
instead of 2. Now the product becomes -12. Choose the other
temperatures
such that value of the product does not change but only the sign
changes.
So
naturally, the other two options are -1 and 1.

These were all the questions

About the English test its very easy. The interview is also very
cool.
communication skills and confidence are important.

Best of Luck to all.
