What Is The Best Answer For This Interview Question? by DJEhimond(m): 6:53pm On Jun 23, 2015 |
Few weeks ago, an interviewer asked me "How many cars are there in Lagos?". Although, I tried my best to give an answer but I don't really know how well. Any suggestion? |

missKiffy: He's kidding right? Or is the job with LASTMA? Or motor traffic division of the police? Or Is it for Road safety? Bottom line is, the interviewer is a joker. |

The interviewer isn't insane, he just want to see the way you think to make an educated guess. This is how I may answer the question. I would asked for a short time to think, then say: There are about 20 million people in lagos, and average lagos family has 5 people (parents and 3 children). This would give us approximately 4 million family units. I would like to use my street as a reference point, can I? He should mostly likely say yes. My street is an average lagos street, it has 20 family units and 12 cars (this include both the private and official cars). This means that the ration of cars to family units in lagos is 3:5. Since we have approximately 4 million families in lagos, we should have approximately 2.4 million cars. I didn't get the exact number, but I tried to answer logically, this is what the interviewer wants to see. 3 Likes |
