There is a zoo and there are several groups(number of groups:K) of people for tour. Each group is having different size (g1,g2,g3…gK). There is one bus with capacity C. Journey starts from a point and bus will come back to the same point. A group can only be included in the bus if all the members of the groups can be accumulated in bus. After coming back from the tour, each group in the bus will again wait in the queue at the bus-stand. Bus-driver earns a rupee for each person travelled. You have to find the earning of the bus driver after R rounds.

For example :

Number of groups G = 4

Group size for each group : 2 4 3 5

Bus capacity : 7

Number of rounds R : 4



queue : (from front side) 2 4 3 5

First round : 2 4 (we can’t take 3rd group as 3 members can’t be accumulated after 2 and 4.)

queue : 3 5 2 4 (1st and 2nd group are enqueued. i.e. 2 and 4)

Second round : 3

queue : 5 2 4 3

Third Round : 5 2

queue : 4 3 5 2

Fourth Round : 4 3

After 4 rounds, total earning is 6+3+7+7 = 23.

A sender will send a binary string to a receiver meanwhile he encrypt the digits. You are given a encrypted form of string. Now, the receiver needs to decode the string, and while decoding there were 2 approaches.

First, receiver will start with first character as 0; S[0] = 0, P[1] = S[1] + S[0], P[2] = S[2] + S[1] + S[0] and so on.
Second, Receiver will start with first character as 1; S[0] = 1, P[1] = S[1] + S[0], P[2] = S[2] + S[1] + S[0] and so on.

You need to print both the strings, after evaluation from both first and second technique. If any string will contain other that binary numbers you need to print NONE.

Given a pond where all the stones are lined at a distance of one unit (C in each row and there are R such rows), each stone has a special value which denotes the length of the jump the frog can make i.e if frog is on stone (x,y) and value is k then frog can jump to (x+dx,y+dy) where dx+dy=k and frog doesn’t leave the bounds.Find the min number of jumps to reach the stone at (R,C).

Given a lane where there are various houses each containing a fixed amount of gold. Now a robber has to rob the houses such that when he robs a house the adjacent one cannot be robbed.Calculate the maximum amount of gold collected by him.

Given a network of roads connecting cities and capacity of each road(same for all roads)as well as their cost of repair(unique for each road) we are given number of buses(n) running between pair of cities using shortest path only. (Capacity of road= No of buses allowed on that road).
Unsafe roads are road where no of buses on the road > Capacity of the road.
Now given n we have to minimize the overall cost of all unsafe roads.

Given a server with a stack with some initial state say 1 Users can modify the stack using regular ops eg push 2 , pop etc and each op causes a version change. i.e version 1 : 1 , version 2 : 2,1 , version 3 : 3,2,1 , version 4 : 2,
You have to design it s.t person can ask for any version of the stack.

Hint : keep copies every k times and keep the ops in an nonvolatile memory

Write down code in any language for a simple employee hierarchy which has 3 types of employees.
1. CEO
2. Manager
3. employee
Where an employee can have only 1 mgr, and a mgr has 1+ employees.
We were asked to input employee details(name ,id, salary,rating etc) in any order (employees might be input before his manager), create the hierarchy and implement these functionality:
1. Print hierarchy given any employee/mgr/ceo (used an n-ary tree + hash table)
2. Given a bonus and performance rating of each employee divide it to the lowest level employees(in the hierarchy ) in the ratio of their rating. i.e 100 divided among 2:3 is 40 and 60. and print the bonus of each ( simple recursive solution)
3. Top 10 employees with ratio of bonus:salary (used maxheap)
