I have a phone interview with BP on Monday with a recruiter from the VA headquarters. This is for the financial services group . Anyone have any tips on what will be asked and if there are any case questions. Please reply to this post with info. |

Listen to platinum he/she is correct but no fun.
Here are some question you should bone up on and know the answers to:
1. Train A, traveling 70 miles per hour (mph), leaves Westford heading toward Eastford, 260 miles away. At the same time Train B, traveling 60 mph, leaves Eastford heading toward Westford. When do the two trains meet? How far from each city do they meet?
2. Al's father is 45. He is 15 years older than twice Al's age. How old is Al? Karen is twice as old as Lori. Three years from now, the sum of their ages will be 42. How old is Karen?
3. What if somebody offered to bet that at least two people in your math class had the same birthday? Would you take the bet? How large must a class be to make the probability of finding two people with the same birthday at least 50%?
4. In a two-child family, one child is a boy. What is the probability that the other child is a girl? What if the older child is a boy?
5. A donkey is attached by a rope to a point on the perimeter of a circular field. How long should the rope be in terms of the radius of the field so that the donkey can reach exactly half the field and eat half the grass?
