Seating Arrangement (Part-1)

2018-09-21T11:03:00.001-07:00

Q:If there are 3 chairs on each side of square, then what are the total number of ways in which we can arrange 12 people around the square table?

Ans: Sides of square are equal so a person X can sit around table in 3 ways(Any of the 3 chairs can be put on one side)

So X can sit either on left chair, in the middle or the right chair. We can arrange other people in

(N-1)! i.e. (12-1)!=11!

Hence ways to arrange 12 people in=

3*(12-1)!=3*11! ways

Shortcut: If there are N people to be assigned a square table with (N/4) seats on one side of it

Total ways=(N/4)*(N-1)!

Q: In how many ways can we arrange 10 people around rectangular table such that there are 3 chairs on longer side and 2 on shorter side?

Ans. So if we consider the first person X

X can either sit on longer side or shorter side.

For longer side there are 3 possibilities =left, right and center

For shorter side there are 2 possibilities =left and right

Hence X can sit in 5 ways

Total arrangement =5*(10-1)!

=5*9!

Shortcut:

If we have N people that are needed to be arranged around rectangular table with 'a' seats on the longer side and 'b' seats on shorter side.

Total ways: (a+b) *(N-1)!

Q:There are 12 people needed to be arranged around an equilateral triangular table, which has 4 seats on each side. How many arrangements are possible?

Ans:

Equilateral triangle has all sides equal so first person i.e. X may sit on any one side

Ways to sit : 4(any of 4 chairs)

Hence assignment =4*(12-1)!=4*11!

Shortcut:

N people are arranged around equilateral trangle

Total arrangements:(N/3)*(N-1)!

Q: 11 people arranged around isosceles triangle which has 4 seats each on equal sides and 3 seats on other. How many arrangements are possible?

Ans:

So first person.i.e X can either sit on equal side or the unequal sides

For unequal side=3 ways

For equal side=4 ways

So total ways= 7*(11-1)!=7*(10)!

Shortcut:

N people that are around isosceles triangle with 'a' seats on each of equal side and 'b' seats on unequal side

=(a+b) *(N-1)!

Bright Thought-1

2018-05-10T06:58:00.001-07:00

Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.

PNB Scam- INR 11500 crore fraud

2018-02-21T10:13:00.000-08:00

Q1Who is Nirav Modi?
Nirav Modi was ranked 57 in Forbes India's Richest People List 2016, with a net worth of $1.74 billion. He founded Nirav Modi chain of diamond stores across the globe, including Hong Kong, Macau, Kula Lumpur and Malasia, under parent company Firestar International. Famous for his glitzy style of branding, his designs have been worn by 'Hidden Figures' star Taraji P, Dakota Johnson, Kate Winslet. Bollywood's very own Priyanka Chopra and actor Sidharth Malhotra were brand ambassadors for his jewellery line.

Q2. Who is Mehul Chinubhai Choksi?
Mehul Choksi, the Managing Director of ‘Gitanjali Gems’ and also the maternal uncle of Nirav Modi

Important terms:-

Buyer’s Credit - Buyer’s credit is a short term credit raised by Importers from overseas lenders in USD at low interest rates to deploy their working capital requirements. The overseas banks usually lend the importer (buyer) based on the Letter of Undertaking (a bank guarantee) issued by the importer's bank
Letter of Undertaking (LoU) - It is a guarantee given by a bank branch located in India to a bank situated overseas that it would meet the liability if the borrowing firm defaults. They are usually backed by collateral(security) or Cash margin. LoU to foreign banks are sent through SWIFT.
SWIFT - Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication. It is a network between banks worldwide which enables one bank to make payments or to send information about a financial transaction to another.

What is the scam:-

On 14th Feb’s morning, PNB made a startling revelation to various Stock Exchanges that it has detected a colossal fraud worth Rs 115 billion (Rs 11,500 crore) in one of its Mumbai branches which has been defrauded by jeweller Nirav Modi, his maternal uncle Mehul Chinubhai Choksi, and other relatives through some firms they own with the help of the bank employees.

Two employees of PNB Mumbai Branch issued LoUs in a fraudulent manner and instructed overseas banks to pass on Buyer’s Credit to three firms of Mr. Nirav Modi, without proper collateral & due diligence.The LoUs sanctioned carried monetary value of around INR 11500 Crore.

Now since PNB has issued LoUs (which are like a guarantee), they would have to pay back the entire amount which the Nirav Modi’s firms availed as buyer’s credit, in case they(the firms) fail to do so. So the entire Rs. 11500 Crore will now lie as Contingent Liability in the books of PNB.

How it was executed:-

PNB employees misused the SWIFT network to transmit messages & the LoUs to Hong Kong branch of Allahabad Bank, Axis Bank, and Union Bank of India bypassing the bank’s internal record system to avoid detection by not recording them in PNB’s core-banking system (CBS).

Hong Kong branches of the respective banks then lent USD to Modi’s firms based on the terms of the SWIFT message they received from PNB - Mumbai. Modi’s firms used the Buyer’s Credit to settle import bills & laundered the major proportion of Money. Now since all the 3 Firms have defaulted, it becomes liability of the PNB to settle the claim.

How PNB Suffers after this scam:-

Share Price of PNB - After continuous fall for the fourth day straight, the shares of Punjab National Bank (PNB) recovered .4 per cent (55 points up) to Rs 117.05
Bank’s Recapitalisation plan - A huge damage will be done to the Recapitalisation plan under which govt. had announced to inject INR 2.1 Lakh Crores into PSU Banks for their revival. Since the major part was to be received by the PNB, it will now raise several questions before the govt.

What actions were taken by PNB,CBI,Govt.:-

The CBI booked billionaire diamond merchant Nirav Modi, his brother Nishal and wife Ami, and business partner and maternal uncle Mehul Chinubhai Choksi on February 5 for allegedly cheating Punjab National Bank of over Rs 280.7 crore during 2017. All of them were partners or linked with Nirav Modi's companies, Diamon R US, Solar Exports, Stellar Diamonds, and allegedly conspired with PNB officials to cause 'wrongful loss
CBI arrested Vipul Ambani who worked as the president (finance) of Nirav Modi's Firestar Diamond.
The ED searched Nirav Modi's Mumbai residence at Samudra Mahal apartments in Worli and seized fresh assets worth Rs 22 crore, taking the total seizure to Rs 5,716 crore as raids continue across the country. Stores and facilities of Nirav Modi's company across the country have been raided to find evidence in the case.
The CBI has questioned around 13 officials from PNB, of which one is General Manager Rajesh Jindal who was in-charge at the Brady House branch of the PNB in 2011.

Shortcut to find last non zero digit of factorials

2018-02-08T07:06:00.001-08:00

Hello guys we are back with new shortcut on how to find last non zero digit of factorials

Shortcut:-
LNZ[(10*n)!]=LNZ(4^n)*LNZ[(2*n)!]
Where LNZ=Last non zero digit
*=Multiplication

Examples:-
Q1 Find last non zero digit of 100! ?
Sol:-Here n=10 ,because{100!=(10*10)!}
=>LNZ[(10*10)!]=LNZ(4^10)*LNZ[(2*10)!]----(1)
Now find LNZ[(2*10)!]
=>LNZ[(10*2)!]=LNZ(4^2)*LNZ[(2*2)!]
=6*4=24=4(we have to find last digit)
Now put the value of LNZ[(10*2)!] in eq(1)
=>LNZ[(10*10)!]=LNZ(4^10)*LNZ[(10*2!)]
=6*4=4

As LNZ(4^Even)=6

So Last non zero digit of 100!=4

Q2. what is the last non zero digit of 110! ?
Sol:-Here n=11 ,because {110!=(10*11)!}
=>LNZ[(10*11)!]=LNZ(4^11)*LNZ[(2*11)!]
=>LNZ[(10*11)!]=LNZ(4^11)*22*21*LNZ[(2*10)!]
=>LNZ[(10*11)!]=4*22*21*4=2

AS LNZ(4^ODD)=4
and LNZ[(2*10)!]=4(Already proved from previous example)

Stay tuned for more such shortcuts

Q. Why MBA?

Ans: Their is no straight forward ans for this question

Example of how could you answer this question:-

Firstly Describe your short term and long term goals

Then,These 4 good reasons might help you:

1. Better career opportunities

MBA programme graduates have higher chances of obtaining a high-level management position

2. Better consolidated business network

MBA students have good networking opportunities. Due to this type of study you interact in a relevant manner with colleagues, professors and teaching staff. Furthermore, if you are not doing a part-time MBA next to your job you have good chances to meet potential employers through the various internships that most top MBA programme include. Students gain access to the extensive alumni network of that particular MBA programme and of others.

3. New skill and knowledge acquisition

MBA education is usually pursued in a very specific situation by a young professional with a few years of experience and sometimes even by senior employees that feel up for the challenge. After some time in the professional life it is in the human nature to conform to a certain repetitiveness and to stagnate in a comfort zone. This limits your disposition for learning and new skill acquisition, why should I learn something new when what I know works just fine, its safer to stick to what I know best. Studying a Master of Business Administration forces you to get out of your comfort zone, deal with the latest issues, apply the newest management techniques and just constantly challenge yourself, your practices and your approaches. And that will continue after graduation as well, as an MBA also provides you with the channels that will keep this challenge alive and push you to continuously improve.

4. A holistic perspective on the business world

While studying an MBA you become part of a great network of professionals, so you always challenge yourself with the problem-solving issues. These things together give you a great overview of the business world. If you are person that can cope with holding a leadership position, then you are probably a good candidate for an MBA.

Note to Remember:-

Note 1: There is no ideal answer. If there were one, most aspirants would be rejected for parroting it. Have confidence in the fact that you're planning to pursue an MBA for the right reasons and that all will work out for the best in the near future.

Note 2: Money is an outcome of succeeding in your desired career choice. Do you need an MBA for money? Are there not better ways to earn money?

Q. Where do you see yourself Ten years from now?

Ans: Your answer

Beware:-One reason interviewers ask this question is to see if you‟re settling for this
position, using it merely as a stopover until something better comes along. Or they
could be trying to gauge your level of ambition.

Example:

After 10 years, I would like to see myself leading a team of dedicated and motivated employees towards the goal of the company and in the process, I would like to grow as an individual both professionally and personally.

Q. Did you lead any team in college?

Ans: Yes or no

If yes ,then your position and how you fulfill your responsibility

Q. Do you have any role model?or Who inspires you and why?

Ans: your role model that inspires you whole life

Role model can be anyone -cartoon character,your parents,actor,actress,leader etc

Note. You should know everything about that person or character

Beware:-The two traps here are unpreparedness and irrelevance. If you grope for an answer, it seems you‟ve never been inspired. If you ramble about your high school
basketball coach, you‟ve wasted an opportunity to present qualities of great value to the interviewer

Q. Have you won any prize/ awards?

Q. What are your Hobbies and interests?

Ans. Don't mix your hobbies with interests

Difference between hobbies and interests:

Hobby : You find free time to do xyz

Interest:You do xyz in your free time

So before describing your hobbies, just do some research over them

Example :

If your hobby is cricket,then you should know-

What is a over,No of players in a team,length of a pitch,who is striker etc

Q. List down 5 qualities which are important to be a good manager.

Ans:

1. Creativity

Creativity is what separates competence from excellence. Creativity is the spark that propels projects forward and that captures peoples' attention. Creativity is the ingredient that pulls the different pieces together into a cohesive whole, adding zest and appeal in the process

2. Structure

The context and structure we work within always have a set of parameters, limitations and guidelines. A stellar manager knows how to work within the structure and not let the structure impinge upon the process or the project. Know the structure intimately, so as to guide others to effectively work within the given parameters. Do this to expand beyond the boundaries.

3. Intuition

Intuition is the capacity of knowing without the use of rational processes; it's the cornerstone of emotional intelligence. People with keen insight are often able to sense what others are feeling and thinking; consequently, they're able to respond perfectly to another through their deeper understanding. The stronger one's intuition, the stronger manager one will be.

4. Knowledge

A thorough knowledge base is essential. The knowledge base must be so ingrained and integrated into their being that they become transparent, focusing on the employee and what s/he needs to learn, versus focusing on the knowledge base. The excellent manager lives from a knowledge base, without having to draw attention to it.

5. Commitment

A manager is committed to the success of the project and of all team members. S/he holds the vision for the collective team and moves the team closer to the end result. It's the manager's commitment that pulls the team forward during trying times.

6. Discipline/Focus

Discipline is the ability to choose and live from what one pays attention to. Discipline as self-mastery can be exhilarating! Role model the ability to live from your intention consistently and you'll role model an important leadership quality.
