For the egg question, you start dropping from ground zero until the point at which one egg cracks.

For the orange and apple question, since all boxes are labelled wrongly, once you pick out apple for example, check the label on the box. If it has oranges, and knowing it is incorrectly labelled, it can only be apple and oranges, or apples only. Then the only label left is oranges only. Fix the broken pieces now

1. no child is born daily

2. an egg will break from whatever height floor. so there's no need finding that out.

3. if the 10 heads and 90tails are separated, the share 90 in to two(45 each), share 10 into 2 (5each) add each group of 5 to 45. and you have two groups of 50 coins. 5 heads and 45 tails.

4. I'll put my hand in each box five times, if the same fruit comes out, then it's that fruit. and if a different one comes out, then that's the mix bag

1 is easy. Take Population growth X over N number of years and divide x by N365.

2 seems incomplete

3 relying on probability, simply randomly separate the two piles and hope for the best grin

4 is easy. the boxes are wrongly labelled. So once you know one, it means you simply reverse the labels on the remaining two.

What's wrong with you na? Do you have to joke...I was thinking you got it,and u spoilt it the more cry

I'm convinced, with the responses seen here, there are jobs truly but intelligent applicants are few grin

The answer to the first question is simple

The question read, how many children are born everyday and not what's the number of children born everyday? Time zones are different globally so, it would be difficult to ascertain how many. Our 24-hour reading is different from that of America , Asia as we aren't on same time zone etc.

The answer is...many children are born daily.

The second question is the simplest and I leave it open for the intelligent fellas here to answer it. Ciao

There are no correct answers to these questions...

These questions are meant to observe your thought process and how you approach problems...

Some people are deductive thinkers.... their approach to these questions would be different from an inductive thinker...

When you face these types of questions, just relax and answers casually...

The interviewers already know what they are looking for...and it definitely isn't a correct answer...


For instance, on that egg question, the first thing that came to my mind was to start calculating different height, gravitational force and all...
This might show I'm not a deductive thinker...

As i scrolled through the pages on these thread, i saw some deductive thinkers...

Someone said the egg would break at any height so there is no need to test...
This is deductive thinking...

And if apple needs a deductive thinker they would choose that guy over me...

Question 1 is 20,000 approx

Question 2 drop the egg on all floors, the one its breaks on is the exact height that breaks an egg.

Question 3 split the coins into 2 piles in a 70/30 ratio.. there are more number of heads in the 70 and definitely more number of heads in the 30 aswell, the number of heads in the 30 is more than equal the number of heads in the 70.

Question no 4 is Apples/Oranges/Apples and Oranges.

1. How many children are born everyday
Population data is required for reference. Keyword DATA

2. If you have 2 eggs, and you want to figure out what’s the highest floor from which you can drop the egg without breaking it, how would you do it? What’s the optimal solution?
Factors that can break egg doesn't depends on height alone. Different CASE study is needed not number of egg. Keyword: CASE

3.You have 100 coins laying flat on a table, each with a head side and a tail side. 10 of them are heads up, 90 are tails up. You can’t feel, see or in any other way find out which side is up. Split the coins into two piles such that there are the same number of heads in each pile.”
No brain work needed. Just split the coin 50/50. Every coin must surely have both head and tail. The side that is up is not needed in selection this case.


4. There are three boxes, one contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. The boxes have been incorrectly labeled such that no label identifies the actual contents of the box it labels. Opening just one box, and without looking in the box, you take out one piece of fruit. By looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all of the boxes correctly?

So who can answer any?
Apple Orange App/nge ###The label
App/nge. Apple. Orange #Posible case1
Orange App/nge. Apple. #posible csae2

For case 1 if you open the apple label and you see App/orange, just know that orange label can't be orange it must be apple.

Went to glassdoor to check. But got more confused with the answers I saw. they seemed not to be clear to me.

The Not correctly labelled part and how they correctly labelled it was what scattered my head. how can one admit picking a fruit from a wrongly labelled box where there are other two boxes which one has both. and note; you picked a fruit without looking inside the box and you just magically labelled the rest correctly?! Somebody should come and give me a more convincing answer o! before I run MAD!

Thank God for Google


Open the box that is labeled "Apples and Oranges". You know that since none of the labels are correct, the box must either contain only apples, or only oranges. Suppose that you remove an apple from that box. Therefore, that box must be the "Apples Only" box. One of the two remaining boxes must be the "Oranges Only" box. However, one is labeled "Apples Only", and the other is labeled "Oranges Only". Therefore, the one labeled "Apples Only" is the box that contains only oranges, and the box labeled "Oranges Only" is the box that contains both kinds of fruit.

Psoul:
I saw this Interview Questions on Glassdoor and I just felt it might be very useful to some of us given that most companies especially in Nigeria like copying these big tech guys. We all know that Apple is one of the biggest Tech companies in the World and to get a job there wouldn’t be so easy.

Glassdoor decided to make this easy by providing some questions Apple Inc uses to select their employees – I would be revealing 3 questions here that I feel are more brain tasking and require more brain knowledge. Is your brain equipped to answer these Apple’s Job Interview Questions? If Yes? Let’s do this smiley

1. How many children are born every day?

2. If you have 2 eggs, and you want to figure out what’s the highest floor from which you can drop the egg without breaking it, how would you do it? What’s the optimal solution?

3.You have 100 coins laying flat on a table, each with a head side and a tail side. 10 of them are heads up, 90 are tails up. You can’t feel, see or in any other way find out which side is up. Split the coins into two piles such that there are the same number of heads in each pile.”

4. There are three boxes, one contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. The boxes have been incorrectly labeled such that no label identifies the actual contents of the box it labels. Opening just one box, and without looking in the box, you take out one piece of fruit. By looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all of the boxes correctly?

So who can answer any?




1. About 385,000 babies are born each day according to the UN

2. Eggs will break even when dropped from a 1 ft. So, keep the eggs and make an omelette.....so you answer it with common sense,even at 1st floor, the eggs will break if you drop them

3. you have to split the coins into 2 piles in a 70/30 ratio. there are more number of heads in the 70 and definitely more number of heads in the 30 aswell, the number of heads in the 30 is more than equal the number of heads in the 70.


4. The answer is two boxes containjng Apples/Oranges/Apples for box 1 and Oranges for box 2

let another person answer...I don try!

Re: Can You Answer These Tricky Job Interview Questions From Apple Inc? by Sleyanya1(m): 2:18pm On Apr 14, 2021
Not a professional at this o..but I'd love to submit my attempt here

1. No child is born in a day ; Babies are born daily.

2. The optimal solution is going to the ground floor with both eggs in your hands.

3. Turn every next coin after skipping one before it. Chances are increased because probability for a Head or Tail is 1/2

4.Label the box the opposite of whatever fruit you opened your eyes to see. E.g if it's orange, label the box as apple (Because it must have been labelled wrongly), then label the mixed box as apple and the other box as the mixed box. Since all boxes were initially labelled wrongly.


Hope I tried. smiley

I actually love challenging questions and puzzles. Kindly do well to drop the correct answers after our trials...
1. I think more than 1 child since it’s stated children.
2. You can start dropping the egg from the lowest floor and keep moving upward till the egg breaks. The floor below where the egg breaks should be the answer. Note that the question didn’t give any limited number of trials..
3. Just split the coins into 2 i.e. 50 units each. We are guaranteed to get the same number of heads.
Note that the question didn’t state numbers of “heads up”, just “heads”.

Simple:

Divide the pile of 10 coins that are heads into two and you'll have 5 equal parts.

The three boxes that are wrongly labeled contain two types of fruits: Apples and Oranges. That means if I open a box wrongly labelled Apple I will find oranges in it. I will immediately re-label that box as Oranges, remove the Apple label on it and transfer it to the one labeled Oranges. Then I will label the mixed fruit box as containing both apples and oranges.


What if the box wrongly labeled ‘Apple’ has oranges and apples?

I love your reply though you tried

Question 2 drop the egg on all floors, the one its breaks on is the exact height that breaks an egg.

Question no 4 is Apples/Oranges/Apples and Oranges.

grin You miss am. "many" would have saved you unnecessary stress for question number 1. Number 2. Egg can crack/break by mere rolling. Why play with it at height to determine where the floor it would break? That means you are a careless fellow. So the answer is, Egg can break from any floor except the floor is so foamy. An egg can land perfectly without breaking from a 10 storied if the floor is full tall of fluffy feathers. The probability of it breaking is the landing floor.
