Given an array sort even element 
and odd number and such 
that even element at even index and
 odd at odd and you have 
to return minimum no of swap

Given a string select two non-overlapping strings that are same and remove them. Perform this operation recursively till there are no desired strings.
Print the number of possible substring after completing above operation.
Ex - abcc
Duplicate non-overlapping substring - abc
After removing abc from we are left with 1 substring abc.

In a 2-D matrix of m*n select m-1 elements from each row such that that the resulting sum is minimum and each column is selected atleast once.

Ex -
2 3 5
3 2 5
4 4 7
Selecting (2,3) from 1st row, (2,5) from 2nd row and (4,4) from 3rd row would result in minimum sum of 20

Question: Can you break the given string into words, provided by a given hashmap of frequency of word as <word: n>

Example:
HashMap -> {"abc":3, "ab":2, "abca":1}
String: abcabcabcabca
output: Yes; [ abc, abc, abc , abca ]

Example:
HashMap -> {"abc":3, "ab":2}
String: abcabab
output: No

Example:
HashMap -> {"abc":3, "ab":2, "abca":1}
String: abcx
output: No

Find LCA for list of nodes of a tree

Function defined as below -
TreeNode findLCA(TreeNode root, List<TreeNode> nodes)

Given a number n, make a set of m integers such that the integers lie between [1, n] 
and the sum of  two integers should produce an integer which is in the set.

Eg. **Input**
n=20, m=5
**Output**
[3, 6, 11, 14, 17]

Which test types we can use for drinks vending machine testing? Especially for check dimension, length, appearance of machine and cups?

A set of points in the 2D plane. Find the first k number of points with the shortest distance to the point (0, 0), where k is a positive integer.

e.g.
Input
{[-16, 5], [-1, 2], [4, 3], [10, -2], [0, 3], [-5, -9]}
k = 3

Output:
{[-1, 2], [0, 3], [4, 3]}
.

A matrix represents a sequence of travel points. One only can travel either left/right or up/down. Some of those points are dead points which one can't travel any further. There is a destination point in the matrix. Find the shortest path from the top left point (1, 1) to the destination.

e.g.
Input
[
[‘O’, ‘O’, ‘O’, ‘O’],
[‘D’, ‘O’, ‘D’, ‘O’],
[‘O’, ‘O’, ‘O’, ‘O’],
[‘X’, ‘D’, ‘D’, ‘O’],
]

Output
Route is (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 1), (2, 1), (2, 0), (3, 0) The minimum route takes 5 steps.

I was asked to integrate linkedIn and dropbox. So linkedIn is not into file storage system, hence they want to use the services of dropbox. The goal is to create, update, delete the documents of a profile in linkedIn. But these documents will not be stored in linkedIn. They will be stored in dropbox.
Moreover, to get this integration, linkedIn does not want to scale up they system. This means, if they have 400 servers, they do not want to add any more servers to achieve the integration.
How can I design this?

Given a positive integer array and a positive integer. Find a pair of integers in the array so that the sum of the pair is the largest one among all pairs not larger than the given integer.

e.g.
Input
{90, 85, 75, 60, 120, 150, 125}
d: 250

Output:
{90, 125}

Design DB schema for maintaining e-commerce various category ,sub category ,sub-sub category and so on.

Write a program to find number of words in a file not using any standard tokenizing API's.

Given n, you will be getting stream of sets each set may contain like (1,3,4,5) which signifies that 1,3,4,5 are related. Similarly you may get like (6,7) , (1,8).
And you will be asked to find whether 1 & 4 are related => Yes (as they are from same set).
3 & 8 are related => yes as 8 & 3 are related through 1.
5 & 7 are related =>No

Card Game

Card game rule: the hand is drawn from a pack of cards (no jokers).
Play cards ONLY when they are
1. 3 of a kind ('AAA' ) or 4 of a kind('AAAA’).
2. a straight flush of 3 or more cards('JQK' or 'A23456...' in the same suit).
Find out whether the player is able to play the whole hand given.
e.g. [Spade A, Spade K, Spade Q, Diamond Q, Heart Q] return false.
[Spade A, Spade K, Spade Q, Diamond Q, Heart Q, Club Q] return true.

Implement a function which accepts a number and returns top 10 big numbers the function is called with so far;

If we call the function with 1.. to 100 , for the call function(100) the function will return 91 to 100 in reverse order since they are top 10 biggest number so far

Implement a fair mutex

An array is called a Good Array if the elements continually increasing or continually decreasing or continually decrease and then increase.
Question 1: He asked how will you tell whether a given array is a good array or not.
Question 2: Given an array, you are allowed to add any number of values to each of the element. Find the minimum sum of elements that can make the array a good array.

A software-based LRU Cache replacement algorithm has to be implemented for a Single Touch/Multi-Touch Cache. Single Touch can occupy at least 30% of the total cache space. A key accessed for the first time will appear in the Single Touch cache. When accessed multiple times, this will be part of the multi-touch cache. Also, multiple threads will access the cache. Following are the functions allowed for cache access.
1. get(key): returns the value against the key if present else return NULL
2. set(key, value): set the value against the key
