Online Test:This round was conducted online on hackerearth for 2.30 hours.It had 2 sections

Section 1: It consisted of 49  MCQ questions related to data science, data structures, Sql, computer networks, operating systems.

The MCQ’s were of different marks.Some of the questions had negative marking while some didn’t.

Section 2: It was coding section consisted of 3 questions.

  1. There are t test cases.For each test case, given two numbers m, n, k and a prime number p.
    First you have to count number of times p occurs in the prime factorization
    of all numbers in the range of [m, n] then return k*count.[20 marks]
    Constraints: t<10^5, m, n<10^9, p<10^6, k<10^6.
    Test Case: m=6, n=8, k=5, p=2
    ans : 20
    6=2*3, 7=7, 8=2*2*2
    therefore count of 2 is 4
    and 4*5=20
  2. Given a directed Graph find a node in the graph such that if we start a dfs
    from that node we can reach maximum number of nodes.[20 marks]
  3. Given a string consisting of * and # and two variables r1, r2.Starting from the first index of the string you have to find minimum number of steps required to reach the last index without landing on a * character index.You can move from every * marked index i to (i+1) and (i+2) in one step.Also you can move to (i+A) if (A/i)>=(r1/r2), where A is the number of prime numbers from 1 to i.Print “No Way” if it is impossible to reach the nth index.[50 marks] Test case: string = #*###### r1=1 r2=2ans : 3(1->3->5->8).

This round was of 262 marks.
