Interview Tips:

Using your body language

You can tell a huge amount about what goes on inside a person’s head by how they use their body language. For example, playing with a ring or repeatedly touching your hair are often interpreted as signs of nervousness. A slouched posture or drumming fingers on a table can be construed as a lack of interest. Follow these tips to project the right kind of image:

  • Stand and sit up straight: Lengthen your body and hold your spine erect. Maintain a straight posture during an interview. Don’t let tiredness or nerves allow your shoulders to hunch forwards.
  • Stop any fidgeting: Don’t give away any hint of nerves by moving around in a restless fashion. Keep your hands clasped lightly in your lap or rest them gently on the table.
  • Use your hands to emphasise key points: Hand gestures can make people seem more sincere or credible. So use your hands occasionally to underscore key points to make yourself visually more engaging – for example, by turning your palms up and spreading your fingers to indicate sincerity or counting points off on your fingers.
  • Avoid crossing your arms: Some interviewers read crossing your arms as being a sign of defensiveness. So don’t do it. However, contrary to popular opinion, you can cross your legs – so long as you don’t cross your arms across your chest as well.
  • Keep your legs still: Avoid crossing or uncrossing your legs or tapping your feet. Such fidgeting can be unnerving.

Use your hands to emphasize key points only when you are speaking. Keep your hands still when the interviewers are speaking to show that you’re listening.

Avoid pointing at the interviewers – this aggressive gesture can seem intimidating.

    The ans of todays question is 44

    Over all at every corner there will be a cube which will have exectly two color so those piece are 8 in no.

    and there will be 4 piece on every edge abut out of 12 edge there will be only 9 edges which will have two color exactly so there 9*4 = 36

    So overall 36+8 = 44

    Thanks

  11. agnes Says:

    the answer is 44


  12. hitesh Says:

    Sorry guys:
    Answer is 42 as i hav already explained.


  13. admin Says:

    The right answer is 42 so option D is the right choice.

    Here is the solution:

    Since yellow , black and green colors are painted on adjacent faces, So the edge common to yellow faces will be single colored only and similarly for black and green edge.
    So out of 12 edges , remaining 9 edges will be having 2 colored cubes. So we can count the cubes on 9 edges. (count common cubes only once)

    There are 2 cubes which are tri-colored , So 44 -2 = 42 is the answer.

    This solution is provided by Hitesh Mangla.
