Tell me about your projects? If a frog is in a 50 ft well and he jumps 3 ft and falls 2ft per day, how many days will he take to get out of the well?
3 Answers↳
Actually, if he jumps 3 ft and drops 2 ft every day then "per day jump => 3 - 2 = 1 feet per day". Thus it would take him 47 days to reach the top of the well. Pretty standard aptitude test. Less

Actually 50 days as depth is 50 ft and progession is of 1 ft per day

My Profile speaks the love and addiction for Games. And no person will be able to survive in Mumbai working for a company without money. If he is developing games and competing in the App market without money, he would rather develop them for himself and compete as an Indie Developer. :) Being hired and delivering your best to a Company is the reason for which he is paid and money is the obvious reason for which he is doing the Job. :) Less
