Q6. There are two different temperature measurement systems, similar to Celsius and Fahrenheit, say A & B. If A=14 then B=36 and if A=133 then B=87. What value will be equal in both systems?

Comment: I do not remember the rest but all were really simple. the fact is, I did not get even 7 perfectly right. but I had wrote how I got to the answer, roughly of course, on the rough sheets (for example I did not even reach near the temperature scale question. but I wrote that taking the two points as two st. lines on xy plane and the point of intersection as the answer). I think they must have given weightage to the thought process. The written round is the main elimination round. after that its a breeze. they really seemed nice people at the interview, smiling and all, and it was over quickly. I was asked questions from my resume. that is all. so take care of the written test and you are in. best of luck.
