Five Rings Quant Interview Question #quantinterviews

Key Takeaways

Can you solve this five-rings quant interview question? A frog starts at point zero on the number line and wants to reach point 10. At each move, the frog can jump any integer distance greater than one to the right, but it cannot go beyond point 10. For example, on the first move, the frog cannot jump to point one since it is only one unit away. On the other hand, it can jump to point two or point three or point four and so on up to point 10. For example, suppose the frog jumps to point four. From there, it cannot jump to point five as it is one unit away, but it can jump to point six, seven, eight, and so on. So, how many different paths can the frog take to reach point 10? Check the pinned comment for the solution.
