Question Asked In Interview

hey sorry, i have put wrong answer, i read it later that its one time, yeah it relates to logic, and we think in mathematical form. good one and gives good idea how to use intellect

tis stupid question...
because the interviewer must be HR who doesnt know mathematics...
but by pure mathematical law, the limit is till the end of positive nos .. i.e. 0, so mathematically the correct answer is 0 and for logic, the logical answer is u directly get out of interview because ur interviewer doesnt even know simple mathematics. .

well Ravi,
even i am a HR person, no one gets out of the interview, may be u also not, as long as u need that job, how much so ever the interviewer is stupid, ha hahaha........
thanks

i think it's only onne time we can subtract 6 from 36.
As after subtracting 6 out of 36 it becomes 30.
Then after if we are subtracting more that is subtraction from 30 not 36 so we can say it only one time we can subtract 6 form 36
as per my sense may be it's nonsense

Your answer may be correct.but why 6 can't be substacted from 30 again.it should be.i think 6 times is the correct one.because how many times they have asked?:-?

Dear Friends,
The answer is 1 only. Because if you substract 6 from 36 it become 30, then you can substract another 6 from 30 only.

Hey all, according to me correct answer is 6 times u can subtract 6 from 36.
regards prerna

How many times can u subtract 6 from 36??
the answer is 6 times
Because question is very clear how many times six can be subtract if you divide 36 with 6 than you will get the answer 6.
If my answer is wrong than can you tell me what is right.
Thanks

the answer is one only....it's a simple but a typical question...we people normally think that such a big co. can't ask so simple question in a final round,so there must be some hidden meaning and we started interpret the question in our own way and try to think in a difficult way, but to get smth big we should start from smth small and may be there's the trick of the interviewer...may be by this question he might want to find out the attention to detail ability of the candidate...
the interviewer asked the candidate 'how many times 6 can be substracted from 36?' we must remember that he dint ask the candidate 'how many times 6 can be substracted from 36 until we get 0?',which is the common interpretation ...

The interviewer is trying to see if the intervieweee is capable of thinking latterally.
