I am gonna give you a few questions here.These were asked in the UPSC exam interviews.
Let's see how many of you are capable enough to crack the UPSC exam.

1.How can you drop a raw egg onto a concrete floor

without cracking it?


2.If it took eight men ten hours to build a wall, how

long would it take four men to build it?


3.If you had three apples and four oranges in one hand

and four apples and three oranges in the other hand,

what would you have?


4.How can you lift an elephant with one hand?


5.How can a man go eight days without sleep?


6.What looks like half apple ?


7.What can you never eat for breakfast ?


8.Bay of Bengal is in which state?




The answers are not as simple as it might look like.
If you answer 3 questions correctly,you are worthy enough to pass UPSC.

1. Wrong question. What does the pronoun 'it' refer to? Floor or egg?

2. Depends. Are all the eight men doing the same job in the process of building? Is their working efficiency, the same?

3. I would have a lot of things including body parts, organs, fruits, clothes. What exactly is it that you're looking for?

4. Just press the button of the crane.

5. Sleep at night.

6. Depends on the distance you're looking it from. From 1000 kiloometres, for example, an half-eaten apple and an elephant, all look the same.

7. Potassium cyanide. You'll die before you eat it.

8. Liquid

P.S. There's no 'correct' answer to these questions. These are all trick questions just to test your presence of mind and how you react to pressure situations. Write these answers in an exam and you're guaranteed to fail.
