Pattern 1:
Q) (1/2) of a number is 3 more than the (1/6) of the same number?
a) 6 b)7 c)8 d)9
Sol: Let the number be x,
((1/2)*x)=3+(1/6)*x,
Then solve x
Q) (1/3) of a number is 3 more than the (1/6) of the same number?
a) 6 b)16 c)18 d)21
Q) (1/3) of a number is 6 more than the (1/6) of the same number?

a) 6 b)8 c)36 d)24
Q) (1/3) of a number is 5 more than the (1/6) of the same number?
a) 6 b)36 c)30 d)72

Pattern 2:
Q)There are two water tanks A and B, A is much smaller than B. While water fills at the rate of 1 liter every hour in A, it gets filled
up like, 10, 20, 40,80, 160…..in tank B. (At the end of first hour, B has 10 liters, second hour it has 20 liters and so on). If tank B is
1/32 filled of the 21 hours, what is total duration of hours required to fill it completely?
a) 26 B)25 c)5 d)27
Sol: Given that B fills up at the rate 10,20,40 etc...
This is a geometric progression where a = 10 r = 2
so after 21 hrs lts in B = a*r
21
= 10 * 2
21
This is equal to 1/32 volume of B
SO TOTAL VOLUME OF B = 32 * 10 * 2
21
which is =10 * 2
26
So hrs required to fill up B is 26
Or
for every hour water in tank in B is doubled,
Let the duration to fill the tank B is x hours.
x/32 part of water in tank of B is filled in 21 hours,
Next hour it is doubled so,
2*(x/32) part i.e (x/16) part is filled in 22 hours,
Similarly (x/8)th part in 23 hours,(x/4)th part is filled in 24 hours,
(x/2)th part is filled in 25 hours, (x)th part is filled in 26 hours
So answer is 26 hours.
Q)There are two pipes A and B. If A filled 10 liters in an hour, B can fill 20 liters in same time. Likewise B can fill 10, 20, 40, 80,
160…... If B filled in 1/16 of a tank in 3 hours, how much time will it take to fill the tank completely?
a) 9 B)8 c)7 d)6
Q)There are two water tanks A and B, A is much smaller than B. While water fills at the rate of 1 liter every hour in A, it gets filled
up like, 10, 20, 40,80, 160…..in tank B. 1/8 th of the tank B is filled in 22 hours. What is the time to fill the tank fully?
a) 26 B)25 c)5 d)27
Q)A tank is filled with water. In first hour 10 liters, second hours 20 liters, and third hour 40 liters and so on…If time taken to fill ¼
of the tank if 5 hours. What is the time taken to fill up the tank?
a) 5 B)8 c)7 d)12.5
Q)If a tank A can be filled within 10 hours and tank B can be filled ¼ in 19 hours then, what is the time taken to fill up the tank
completely?
a) 21 B)38 c)57 d)76

Pattern 3:
Q)6 persons standing in queue with different age group, after two years their average age will be 43 and seventh person joined with
them. Hence the current average age has become 45. Find the age of seventh person?
a) 43 b)69 c)52 d)31
Sol: a+b+c+d+e+f+ Z = 45*7 =315
a+b+c+d+e+f+ 12 = 43*6 = 258
therefore : a+b+c+d+e+f = 246
so age of seventh person "Z" is = 315 - 246 = 69
Q)In a market 4 men are standing. The average age of the four before 4years is 45, after some days one man is added and his age
is 49. What is the average age of all?
a) 43 b)45 c)47 d)49
Sol: Avg 4 yrs ago = 45
so avg now = 49
a person of age 49 is added
so avg remains 49
Q)In a shopping mall with a staff of 5 members the average age is 45 years. After 5 years a person joined them and the average
age is again 45 years. What‟s the age of 6th person?
a) 25 b)20 c)45 d)30
Sol: After 5 years average age becums 50
Total age = 250
new member joins  suppose age x
so (250 + x) / 6 = 45
x = 20
Q)In a market 4 men are standing .The average age of the four before 2 years is 55, after some days one man is added and his age
is 45. What is the average age of all?
a) 55 b)54.5 c)54.6 d)54.7
Sol: After 2 years average age becomes 57
Total age=228
New member joins, his age is 45
So, (228 + 45)/6 = 54.6 ans

Pattern 4:
Q)In the reading room of a library, there are 23 reading spots. Each reading spot consists of a round table with 9 chairs placed
around it. There are some readers such that in each occupied reading spot there are different numbers of readers. If in all there are
36 readers, how many reading spots do not have even a single reader?
a)8 b)none c)16 d)15
Sol: There are some readers such that in each
occupied reading spot there are different numbers of
readers.
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8= 36 readers
so ,8 spots have different readers.
remainings are 23-8= 15.
15 spots are empty.
Or
he just said that in each different spot there are different
number of readers. So there will be many possibilities...
It is same as number of ways in which you can make a sum of
9 using only digits from 1 to 9 each at most once...
Consider
1+2+3+6+7+8+9 = 36
In this case answer is: 23-7 = 16
but different answers are possible depending on case u choose
Q)In the reading room of a library, there are 10 tables, 4 chairs per table. In each table there are different numbers of people
seated. How many tables will be left out without at least 1 person?
a) 8 b)6 c)2 d)7
Q)In the reading room of a library, there are 10 tables, 4 chairs per table. In each table there are different numbers of people
seated. How many ways they will sit in the library so that no chair would be blank?
a) 8 b)6 c)2 d)7
Sol: 10 tables, each with 4 chairs
Each table has a different number of persons sitting....This is not possible as there are only 4 chairs..
The different combinations can be 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4...the sixth table would have one of the above combinations..Thus the rule is
violated..
Plus, if different numbers of people occupy a table, there would be blank spaces...so how can we calculate the possibilities of the
library being fulling occupied..
This is an ambiguous question!

Pattern 6
Q)Susan made a block with small cubes of 8 cubic cm volume to make a block ,3 small cubes long, 9 small cubes wide and 5 small
cubes deep. She realizes that she has used more small cubes than she really needed. She realized that she could have glued a fewer
number of cubes together to lock like a block with same dimensions, if it were made hollow. What is the minimum number of cubes
that she needs to make the block?
a) 114 b) 135 c) 21 d) 71
Sol: dimensions of small cube = 2*2*2
Length of cube = 3 small cubes long = 6 cm
Breadth = 9 small cubes wide = 18 cm
Height = 5 small cubes deep = 10 cm
Volume = 6*18*10 = 1080cm^3
Volume of hollow cube = (6-4)(18-4)(10-4)
= 168 cm^3
total number of blocks needed = 1080-168 /8 = 912/8 = 114
Q)A boy wants to make cuboids of dimension 5m, 6m and 7m from small cubes of .03 m3. Later he realized he can make same
cuboids by making it hollow. Then it takes some cubes less. What is the number of the cubes to be removed?
a) 2000 b) 5000 c) 3000 d) 7000
Sol: Total volume of cube = 5 * 6 * 7 = 210 m cube
volume of smaller cube 0.03
Total cubes reqd = 7000
for hollow cube no. of small cubes reqd = 5/0.03 *4 + 6/.03 * 4 + 7/0.03 *4
which is approx 2000 so 5000 cubes have to be removed
Note:4 sides of 5,6 and 7 in the cube...so multiplied by 4
Q)Smita was making a cube with dimensions 5*5*5 using 1*1*1 cubes. What is the number of cubes needed to make a hollow cube
looking of the same shape?
a) 98 b) 104 c) 100 d) 61
Sol: Jst count the no. of cubes for each face
take the 1st one 25 small cubes reqd
now for 2 faces adjacent to it 20 are reqd
2 faces adjacent to all these 12 are reqd
and for the last one 9 are reqd
so 98

Pattern 10:
Q)A girl has to make pizza with different toppings. There are 8 different toppings. In how many ways can she make pizzas with 2
different toppings?
a)16 b)56 c)112 d)28
Sol: The number of ways of choosing r distinct objects from n distinct objects is given by the formula
C(n, r) = n!/r!*(n-r)!
where n! = n(n-1)(n-2).......3*2*1
If order was important, the number of arrangements is
P(n,r) n!/(n-r)!
Now suppose you wanted to display one topping in the middle and the other around the edge, you would be considering arrangements
and the answer would be
P(8, 2) = 8!/6!
= 8*7
= 56
However, suppose that you wish to sprinkle toppings randomly over the pizza base. Since it does not matter what the arrangements
are, the number of ways is
C(8, 2) = 8! / 2!*6!
= 8*7 / 2*1
= 56/2
= 28
This is correct.
Q)A pizza shop made pizzas with many flavors. There are 10 different flavors, in that 7 flavors are taken to make pizza. In how

Directions for Questions 11-15:Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage. Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated Circuit (IC). Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from individual small-scale Integrated Circuits containing the equivalent of only a few transistors. By integrating the processor onto one or a very few large-scale Integrated Circuit packages (containing the equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete transistors), the cost of processor power was greatly reduced. The evolution of microprocessors has been known to follow Moore's Law when it comesto steadily increasing performance over the years.
This law suggests that the complexity of an Integrated Circuit with respect to minimum component cost will double in about 18 months. From humble beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the continued increase in power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over every other form of computer; every system from the largest mainframes to the smallest handheld computers now uses a microprocessor at their core. .As with many advances in technology, the microprocessor was an idea wbose time had come. Three projects arguably delivered a complete microprocessor at about the same time: Intel's 4004, Texas Instruments' TMS1000, and Garrett AiResearch's Central Air Data Computer. .
A computer-on-a-chip is a variation of a microprocessor, which combines the microprocessor core (CPU), some memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one chip. The proper meaning of microcomputer is a computer using a (number of) microprocessor(s) as its CPU(s), while the concept of the patent is somewhat more similar to a micro controller.

11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?
A) Electronic computer
B) Central Processing Unit
C) Memory disk
D) A single integrated chip circuit.

12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.
A) Microprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other.
B) Integration of processing power on chips has made processing power cheaper.
C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from individual small scale ICs.
D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it.

13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?
A) Microsoft
B) Intel
C) Texas Instruments
D) Garret

14) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of microprocessors?
A) Drivers for calculators
B) Core for large mainframes
C) Advanced mobile phones
D) Used for small handheld computers

15) "A number of microprocessors at its CPU" is an apt description of a:
A) 11icro-controller
B) Micro-computer
C) Micro-processor
D) Micro-transistor

Directions for Questions 16-20:Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
Dynamic Link Libraries Windows provides several files called dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that contain collections of software code that perform common functions such as opening or saving a file. When Windows application wants to use one of those functions or routines, the app sends a message to Windows with the names of the DLLfile and the function. This procedure is known as calling a function. One of the most frequently used DLLs is Windows COMMDLG.DLL, which includes among others, the functions to display File Open, File Save, Search, and Print dialog boxes. The application also sends any information the DLL function will need to complete the operation. For example, a program calling the Open File function in COMMDLG.DLL would pass along a file spec, such as *. * or *.DOC, to be displayed in the dialog box's Filename text box.The application also passes along a specification for the type of information it expects the DLL to return to the application when the DLL's work is done. The application, for example, may expect return information in the form of integers, true/false values, or text. Windows passes the responsibility for Program execution to theDLL, along with the parameters and the return information the DLL will need. The specific DLL is loaded into memory, and then executed by the processor. At this point the DLL, rather than the application, runs things. The DLL performs all the operations necessary to communicate with Windows and, through Windows, with the PC's hardware. After the DLL function is complete, the DLL puts the return information into memory, where it can be found by the application,and instructs Windows to remove the DLL routine from memory. The application inspects the return information, which usually tells whether the DLL function was able to execute correctly. If the operation was a success, the application continues from
where it left off before issuing the function call. If the operation failed, the application displays an error message.
16) By using DLLs, Windows:
A) Saves processing time
B) Multitasks
C) Shares program code
D) Communicates with PCs hardware

17) To use any routine of a DLL, Windows:
A) Searches and copies it in the application code and executes it
B) Loads the DLL file and searches and executes the routine
C) Loads just the required routine in memory and executes it
D) Searches the location of the routine and instructs the application to execute it

18) Which information does an application need to passto Windows to use a DLL routine?
A) Just the name of the routine
B) Just the name of the DLL, which finds in turn the routine to be executed in return
C) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any parameters
D) Name of the DLL, routine, any parameters and type of information to be returned

19) According to the passage, while the DLL routine is executing, the calling application:
A) Waits for the routine to execute
B) Continues with other tasks
C) Helps the DLL routine perform by communicating with Windows andthrough Windows with the PC's hardware
D) Passes all responsibility of program execution to the DLL and is removed from memory

20) The DLL function after execution returns:
A) The parameters and information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
B) Information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
C) To the calling application the information required by it so that it can inspect it
D) The information required into memory so that DLL can inspect whether the function operation was a success

ANDROID INTERVIEW QUESTIONS 
Android is a mobile operating system (OS) based on the Linux kernel and currently developed by Google. With a user interface based on direct manipulation, Android is designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers, with specialized user interfaces for televisions (Android TV), cars (Android Auto), and wrist watches (Android Wear). 
The OS uses touch inputs that loosely correspond to real-world actions, like swiping, tapping, pinching, and reverse pinching to manipulate on-screen objects, and a virtual keyboard. Despite being primarily designed for touchscreen input, it also has been used in game consoles, digital cameras, regular PCs (e.g. the HP Slate 21) and other electronics.

Top 50 Android Interview Questions And Answers

List of Most frequently Asked Android Interview Questions and Answers for freshers and experienced are below:

1) What is Android?
It is an open-sourced operating system that is used primarily on mobile devices, such as cell phones and tablets. It is a Linux kernel-based system that’s been equipped with rich components that allows developers to create and run apps that can perform both basic and advanced functions.


2) What Is the Google Android SDK?
The Google Android SDK is a toolset that developers need in order to write apps on Android enabled devices. It contains a graphical interface that emulates an Android driven handheld environment, allowing them to test and debug their codes.

3) What is the Android Architecture?
Android Architecture is made up of 4 key components:
- Linux Kernel
- Libraries
- Android Framework
- Android Applications

4) Describe the Android Framework.
The Android Framework is an important aspect of the Android Architecture. Here you can find all the classes and methods that developers would need in order to write applications on the Android environment.

5) What is AAPT?
AAPT is short for Android Asset Packaging Tool. This tool provides developers with the ability to deal with zip-compatible archives, which includes creating, extracting as well as viewing its contents.




6) What is the importance of having an emulator within the Android environment?
The emulator lets developers “play” around an interface that acts as if it were an actual mobile device. They can write and test codes, and even debug. Emulators are a safe place for testing codes especially if it is in the early design phase.

7) What is the use of an activityCreator?
An activityCreator is the first step towards the creation of a new Android project. It is made up of a shell script that will be used to create new file system structure necessary for writing codes within the Android IDE.

8 ) Describe Activities.
Activities are what you refer to as the window to a user interface. Just as you create windows in order to display output or to ask for an input in the form of dialog boxes, activities play the same role, though it may not always be in the form of a user interface.

9) What are Intents?
Intents are asynchronous messages which allow application components to request functionality from other Android components. Intents allow you to interact with components from the same applications as well as with components contributed by other applications.
For example, an activity can start an external activity for taking a picture.

10) Differentiate Activities from Services.
Activities can be closed, or terminated anytime the user wishes. On the other hand, services are designed to run behind the scenes, and can act independently. Most services run continuously, regardless of whether there are certain or no activities being executed.



11) What items are important in every Android project?
These are the essential items that are present each time an Android project is created:
- AndroidManifest.xml
- build.xml
- bin/
- src/
- res/
- assets/

12) What is the importance of XML-based layouts?

The use of XML-based layouts provides a consistent and somewhat standard means of setting GUI definition format. In common practice, layout details are placed in XML files while other items are placed in source files.

13) What are containers?

Containers, as the name itself implies, holds objects and widgets together, depending on which specific items are needed and in what particular arrangement that is wanted. Containers may hold labels, fields, buttons, or even child containers, as examples.

14) What is Orientation?

Orientation, which can be set using setOrientation(), dictates if the LinearLayout is represented as a row or as a column. Values are set as either HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL.

15) What is the importance of Android in the mobile market?

Developers can write and register apps that will specifically run under the Android environment. This means that every mobile device that is Android enabled will be able to support and run these apps. With the growing popularity of Android mobile devices, developers can take advantage of this trend by creating and uploading their apps on the Android Market for distribution to anyone who wants to download it.

 

16) What do you think are some disadvantages of Android?
Given that Android is an open-source platform, and the fact that different Android operating systems have been released on different mobile devices, there’s no clear cut policy to how applications can adapt with various OS versions and upgrades. 
-->  One app that runs on this particular version of Android OS may or may not run on another version. 
-->  Another disadvantage is that since mobile devices such as phones and tabs come in different sizes and forms, it poses a challenge for developers to create apps that can adjust correctly to the right screen size and other varying features and specs.

17) What is adb?

Adb is short for Android Debug Bridge. It allows developers the power to execute remote shell commands. Its basic function is to allow and control communication towards and from the emulator port.

18) What are the four essential states of an activity?

- Active – if the activity is at the foreground
- Paused – if the activity is at the background and still visible
- Stopped – if the activity is not visible and therefore is hidden or obscured by another activity
- Destroyed – when the activity process is killed or completed terminated

19) What is ANR?

ANR is short for Application Not Responding. This is actually a dialog that appears to the user whenever an application have been unresponsive for a long period of time.

20) Which elements can occur only once and must be present?

Among the different elements, the and elements must be present and can occur only once. The rest are optional, and can occur as many times as needed.

 

21) How are escape characters used as attribute?
Escape characters are preceded by double backslashes. For example, a newline character is created using ‘\\n’

22) What is the importance of settings permissions in app development?

Permissions allow certain restrictions to be imposed primarily to protect data and code. Without these, codes could be compromised, resulting to defects in functionality.

23) What is the function of an intent filter?

Because every component needs to indicate which intents they can respond to, intent filters are used to filter out intents that these components are willing to receive. One or more intent filters are possible, depending on the services and activities that is going to make use of it.

24) Enumerate the three key loops when monitoring an activity?

- Entire lifetime – activity happens between onCreate and onDestroy
- Visible lifetime – activity happens between onStart and onStop
- Foreground lifetime – activity happens between onResume and onPause

25) When is the onStop() method invoked?

A call to onStop method happens when an activity is no longer visible to the user, either because another activity has taken over or if in front of that activity.



26) Is there a case wherein other qualifiers in multiple resources take precedence over locale?
Yes, there are actually instances wherein some qualifiers can take precedence over locale. There are two known exceptions, which are the MCC (mobile country code) and MNC (mobile network code) qualifiers.

27) What are the different states wherein a process is based?
There are 4 possible states:
- foreground activity
- visible activity
- background activity
- empty process

28) How can the ANR be prevented?
One technique that prevents the Android system from concluding a code that has been responsive for a long period of time is to create a child thread. Within the child thread, most of the actual workings of the codes can be placed, so that the main thread runs with minimal periods of unresponsive times.

29) What role does Dalvik play in Android development?
Dalvik serves as a virtual machine, and it is where every Android application runs. Through Dalvik, a device is able to execute multiple virtual machines efficiently through better memory management.

30) What is the AndroidManifest.xml?
This file is essential in every application. It is declared in the root directory and contains information about the application that the Android system must know before the codes can be executed.



31) What is the proper way of setting up an Android-powered device for app development?
The following are steps to be followed prior to actual application development in an Android-powered device:

-Declare your application as “debuggable” in your Android Manifest.
-Turn on “USB Debugging” on your device.
-Set up your system to detect your device.

32) Enumerate the steps in creating a bounded service through AIDL.
1. create the .aidl file, which defines the programming interface
2. implement the interface, which involves extending the inner abstract Stub class as well as implanting its methods.
3. expose the interface, which involves implementing the service to the clients.

33) What is the importance of Default Resources?
When default resources, which contain default strings and files, are not present, an error will occur and the app will not run. Resources are placed in specially named subdirectories under the project res/ directory.

34) When dealing with multiple resources, which one takes precedence?
Assuming that all of these multiple resources are able to match the configuration of a device, the ‘locale’ qualifier almost always takes the highest precedence over the others.

35) When does ANR occur?
The ANR dialog is displayed to the user based on two possible conditions. One is when there is no response to an input event within 5 seconds, and the other is when a broadcast receiver is not done executing within 10 seconds.



36) What is AIDL?
AIDL, or Android Interface Definition Language, handles the interface requirements between a client and a service so both can communicate at the same level through interprocess communication or IPC. This process involves breaking down objects into primitives that Android can understand. This part is required simply because a process cannot access the memory of the other process.

37) What data types are supported by AIDL?
AIDL has support for the following data types:
-string
-charSequence
-List
-Map
-all native Java data types like int,long, char and Boolean

38) What is a Fragment?
A fragment is a part or portion of an activity. It is modular in a sense that you can move around or combine with other fragments in a single activity. Fragments are also reusable.

39) What is a visible activity?
A visible activity is one that sits behind a foreground dialog. It is actually visible to the user, but not necessarily being in the foreground itself.

40) When is the best time to kill a foreground activity?
The foreground activity, being the most important among the other states, is only killed or terminated as a last resort, especially if it is already consuming too much memory. When a memory paging state has been reach by a foreground activity, then it is killed so that the user interface can retain its responsiveness to the user.



41) Is it possible to use or add a fragment without using a user interface?
Yes, it is possible to do that, such as when you want to create a background behavior for a particular activity. You can do this by using add(Fragment,string) method to add a fragment from the activity.

42) How do you remove icons and widgets from the main screen of the Android device?
To remove an icon or shortcut, press and hold that icon. You then drag it downwards to the lower part of the screen where a remove button appears.

43) What are the core components under the Android application architecture?
There are 5 key components under the Android application architecture:
- services
- intent
- resource externalization
- notifications
- content providers

44) What composes a typical Android application project?
A project under Android development, upon compilation, becomes an .apk file. This apk file format is actually made up of the AndroidManifest.xml file, application code, resource files, and other related files.

45) What is a Sticky Intent?
A Sticky Intent is a broadcast from sendStickyBroadcast() method such that the intent floats around even after the broadcast, allowing others to collect data from it.



46) Do all mobile phones support the latest Android operating system?
Some Android-powered phone allows you to upgrade to the higher Android operating system version. However, not all upgrades would allow you to get the latest version. It depends largely on the capability and specs of the phone, whether it can support the newer features available under the latest Android version.

47) What is portable wi-fi hotspot?
Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot allows you to share your mobile internet connection to other wireless device. For example, using your Android-powered phone as a Wi-Fi Hotspot, you can use your laptop to connect to the Internet using that access point.

48) What is an action?
In Android development, an action is what the intent sender wants to do or expected to get as a response. Most application functionality is based on the intended action.

49) What is the difference between a regular bitmap and a nine-patch image?
In general, a Nine-patch image allows resizing that can be used as background or other image size requirements for the target device. The Nine-patch refers to the way you can resize the image: 4 corners that are unscaled, 4 edges that are scaled in 1 axis, and the middle one that can be scaled into both axes.

50) What language is supported by Android for application development?
The main language supported is Java programming language. Java is the most popular language for app development, which makes it ideal even for new Android developers to quickly learn to create and deploy applications in the Android environment
