    Those questions are totally useless from the hiring point of view and only help in eliminating the candidates for the Interview state. If you can solve those questions, the interviewer will know that you are at least 'average' or a little above average than others so that they can short-list you for the interview round.

    it may be used to find whethet you are fast enough to answer in a rapid fire interview.But if this was asked in a preliminary round then it explains that they were not searching for us and they just make fun of us

    Exactly I Think So. Many Of Placement Papers I Have Seen Is this? I Am Confused whether this is a just a single round. Even in CE these type of posts are available and my question was the first question in the pdf posted here.I Asked this after seeing those here. While The Questions Based on field were not in trend now? or these are the one of the rounds?

    The standard of questions had faded away.I more often happen to see the questions that were not related to field.I agree that we should know some general facts but It would not do the job and ot will not justify the job nature.

    The reason for this, in my opinion is that these companies recruit in large numbers, and thus the level of questions is not so high😒, see the questions of some companies which recruit less numbers(such as Google etc), or some well known start-up companies and u will know the difference😉.
