Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are given 8 identical-looking balls, one of which is heavier than the other 7 (all of which weigh the same). Using an old-fashioned mechanical set of scales you must identify the heavier ball using the scale as few times as possible. The scale is constructed using two bowls and an arm enabling the bowls to either balance or have one bowl rising while the other (and heavier bowl) falling. You can't just add one ball at a time thinking its one weighing, however, you may put any number of balls in each bowl.
Well managed and smooth. Well rounded questions. The HR team is very professional and courteous. The process finished in one day. The facility is also good. They also offered transport for going back.

Walking Interview, Written test, Oral Test,Manager Round then HR Round. Written test is too difficult to clear the interview. I was impressed with interview process as all the rounds happened in one day. But this is little bit lenghty processon same day.
