Finding the shortest path
Topic/Course
Sub-Topic (Example: name of college)
 Question 1
What is the minimum number of steps required to reach point 6 from point 0?

Hint: Assuming that the path goes only in the ascending order

_____
 Solution
What is the minimum number of steps required to reach point 6 from point 0?

Hint: Assuming that the path goes only in the ascending order

As the question is about

minimum steps, let’s consider
the minimum values in the
overall path.
-> So, the path should be
Point 0 – 1 – 3 – 4 – 6

The minimum number of

steps would be
= 2 + 5 + 10 + 2 = 19
 Question 2
What is the maximum number of steps required to reach point 6 from point 0?
Hint: Assuming that the path goes only in the ascending order

_____
 Solution
What is the maximum number of steps required to reach point 6 from point 0?
Hint: Assuming that the path goes only in the ascending order

As the question is about

maximum steps, let’s consider
the maximum values in the
overall path.
-> So, the path should be
Point 0 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6

The maximum number of

steps would be
= 6 + 8 + 10 + 6 + 6 = 36
 Question 3
What are the total number of ways to reach E from A?

_____
 Solution
What are the total number of ways to reach E from A?

Total ways:
ABFE
ABDE
ABDFE
ACE
 Question 4
What is the sum of time taken of all the possibilities from A to E

_____
 Question 4
What is the sum of time taken of all the possibilities from A to E

Total time:
ABFE – 10 + 15 + 5 = 30
ABDE – 10 + 12 + 2 = 24
ABDFE – 10 + 12 + 1 + 5 = 28
ACE – 15 + 10 = 25

So, total time

= 30 + 24 + 28 + 25
= 107
Logic first, Code next
 Question 1
Key idea to print the following – if the user inputs a seat number of his/ her berth in a 3AC
Indian Railways compartment, the program must print the berth type – SU, SL, Upper,
Lower or Middle.
Question 1

Logic?

It’s %8
 Question 2
Key idea to find the digital root of a given number.

Digital root = Found by summing the digits of the number until

we get a single digit

E.g.: Digital root of 698 = 6 + 9 + 8 = 23 => 2 + 3 = 5

Logic?
9, if the number is divisible by 9. Else %9.
 Question 3
Key idea to find the sum of the quotients when alternate positive odd numbers from 3
to 101 are divided by 2.

Logic?
The quotients will be odd numbers. We need to find the sum of odd numbers.
So, the answer should be .
 Question 4
Key idea to find the sum of numbers which are multiples of both 3 and 5 from 1 to
1500

Logic?
We need to find the multiples of 15 in the first 1500 numbers and add it.
So, it will be 15, 30, 45, 60…..1500. Instead of adding these numbers, we can 15
common and that will be 15(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +…….. + 100).
 Question 5
Key idea to find the number of squares in a chess board

Logic?
Number of squares = n(n+1)(2n+1)/6
