• Next question was regarding dbms, a table was given and i was asked to write three different tpe of queries to insert data in that table
• Then the next question was about joins in dbms. First theory and then two tables were given and i was asked to perform each type of join on it
• A puzzle was also asked “we have a car which had 5 tyres(4 in use and 1 spare). The car had traveled 20,000 miles and all of its tyres has covered equal amount of distance and all the tyres has reached their maximum limit and thus all are busted. What is the maximum limit of each tyre ”

HR Interview
