€/€ - €/6=€/12 1-€/6=€/12 collect like terms 1=€/12+€/6 finding the lcm 1=€+2€/12 1=3€/12 cross multiply 12=3€ divide both side with 3 €=4

OP....what you did was unfair,well God dey

I could have gained an offer by solving this simple maths.....€/€=1,rearranging the equation gives~ 1-€/6=€12. Grouping like terms we have~ 1=€/6+€/12, LCM is 12. We have 1=3€/12.......cross multiple, and € =4

Marxx I got my answer within 1 sec

ie. immediately, I saw the equation.

congrats IBM Deep Blue

answer is 4

4.... Op what is the essence of disqualifying candidates because of this question?

Bull$hit!! How does this even tie to the job description your firm will assign them?

Lol.

OP. You are an idiot.

If you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will live all it's life thinking it is stupid.

You just succeeded in making some smart Nigerians have a terrible day.

Idi.ot how U sure u oh k? For doing his work makes him an idi.ot? I bet u dont know the meaning of idi.ot. Smh!

Marxxx:
wrong...

I must say you are a wrong person to be in your position, just because you don't know what to do you decided to play out of the rules because you want to protect your records and thwarted the efforts of those that have been working to make sure they got to that level even when you saw that their records from the recruitment process is good, don't worry this will expose you to your organization that you lack what it takes to handle such issue, must they know everything that you knew? By the way, are they not trainees? and what did you understand by (trainee) , By the grace of God that decision will be revised while your capacity would be made known to your organization.

Have it in mind that decision will affect you, as it is now you have shown to your colleagues whom you are by making them feel having worked and gotten to this stage they did nothing. So annoying, I just hope when the main person that is in charge comes back he/she should have second/positive look on their performance and as well review your own contract/position before you run your organization's (employees retention strength) from 100% to 0%.

Op, I hate to insult people on social media but I just have to say you are a buffoon who is just too full of himself. You refused to confirm those guys because of this simple bit of maths you posted? How is that equation a means of judging critical reasoning?

You are so myopic that you forget there are key leadership attributes that should be looked out for in addition to analytic thinking. And I must say it is probably because you lack those attributes yourself.

I swear u dey reason like me.




@ OP Marx not being able to solve your arithmetic doesn't mean they can't solve other real life and work place problems and assignments

Marxxx:
I received a call from the Hr unit that they are sending 5 Trainees to me for confirmation. I was surprised because they didn't give me a prior notice. When I Queried the lady from the Hr unit she said the Senior Partner (HOD) contacted them that he will travelling to the UK that I can go ahead with the confirmation.

I was a bit nervous because I find it difficult relating with people, what do I ask them? Moreover I have too much on my hands already. I told Hr to give me an hour so that I can coordinate myself ....The truth is if you confirm a trainee and He/she under performs, it tells badly on your record. Here I am always striving to maintain a spotless record now this challenge doesn't look good.

Exactly an hour later Hr unit called again that they are on their way, I told her to take them to the conference room.....30mins later I joined them Lo and Behold I saw 5 well dressed gentlemen and ladies 3 guys and 2 ladies. I stared at them and they were looking back at me (which kind witch be this I said to myself) They thought I was testing them truth is I don't even know what to say or ask....."tell me your names I started".....after all the blah blah.....i went through their cv's it was good. 3 had first class. it was B.A trainee, I looked at their aptitude test performances read their essays great; yet I didn't know what further qstns to ask. So I wrote down a simple arithmetic on the board and I gave them 90s to solve. Only one got it right within the time frame (A lady!!!!; she bagged First class from Reading University UK). I thanked them for their interest in joining us. I sent my remarks to Hr and they were shocked. Hr Manager had to call me explaining that they have spent so such on the recruitment exercise and approving just one means they have to continue the exercise. I simply told him Mr ***a** you can confirm the rest.

This was the simple problem I wrote on the board.

€/€ - €/6 = €/12......what is the value of €?

So I am asking you, how good are you with basic reasoning?

18....

€/€ - €/6= €/12 €/€ = €/12 + €/6 €/€ - 3€/12 12€ =3€^2 12= 3€ €=12/3 €=4

4

€ = 4 or 0

I think OP should just come and tell us the answer so we can see Au much of a genius he is. Wicked OP

€=72/7

How?

2/3

Simple yet tricky.. E÷E = 1

Marxxx:
wrong...

Your € is 72

NoQualms1:
0 or 4

U are the only real mathematician on this thread.

Simple yet tricky.. E÷E =1. Answer is 4.

my ans is 4...oyah op tell us the correct answer..

OP, why not tell us the answer to this your simple arithmetic. lets know if our answers are correct!

E/E - E/6=E/12

6E-E/6E=E/12

Cross-multiply
6E * E =12(6E-E)
6E^2 =72E-12E
6E^2 =60E
Divide both sides by E
6E = 60
Divide both sides by 6
E = 10

Am i right?
