The table lists all the employees of the Metro Corporation’s human resources department. Each employee's immediate supervisor is identified by the supervisor’s employee ID number displayed in the last column on the right of the table. If one employee, say A, supervises another, say B, then A also supervises every employee supervised by B. Note that the hire date is given in the format month/day/year.

Got this wrong as well. This is how i think its done:

- O'Neill:
-- First check: supervises no one: 8 (i.e. O'Neill's emp ID) is not present in column 5 -- condition 1 satisfied, now check 2
-- Second check: O'Neill's supervisors (following the supervisor employee IDs mentioned in the last column): 11 >> 4 >> 9 >> 1 >> 6 >> 14 (read as "No.11 supervises O'Neill, 4 supervises 9, 1 supervises 9, and so on) - 14 doesn't count has no.14 is not in HR so 11,4,9,1,6 = 5 supervisors -- check 2 satisfied hence "Yes"

- Patel:
-- First check: Patel's employee ID (i.e. 7) does not feature in column 5 -- cond 1 satisfied, check 2
-- Second check: same as before naming supervisor employee IDs for patel: 3 >> 1 >> 6 >> 14 therefore 4 supervisors -- cond. 2 not satisfied hence "No"

- Schickler:
-- First check: schickler's employee ID does not feature in column 5 -- cond 1 satisfied, check 2
-- Second check: same as before naming supervisor employee IDs for schickler: 10 >> 6 >> 14 therefor 2 supervisors -- cond. 2 no satisfied hence "No"

Surprisingly we dont need to use the hire data here. Any other thoughts?

Schikler's supervisor is 10
10's supervisor is 6
6's supervisor is 14

That's it. Schikler has only 3 supervisors. So, NO.

O'Neil : 8 <-- 11 <-- 4 <-- 9 <-- 1 <-- 6 <-- 14. Total 6 supervisors and he is supervisor of none so YES.
Patel : 7 <-- 3 <-- 1 <-- 6 <-- 14. Total 4 Supervisors, so NO.
Schickler 2 <-- 10 <-- 6 <-- 14. Total 3 Supervisors, so NO.

In order for the answer to be [yes] then both statements for an individual must be true: They have no direct report and that they have 5 or more supervisors.

The first question: "Do they have a direct report?" can be determined by looking in the Supervisor Id list. If an employee's Id is listed in this column than they have a direct report. We can quickly determine that none of the 3 employees in question are listed. Therefore none of them have a direct report and therefore pass this first question.

The second question: "Do they have at least 5 supervisors in total". The question tells us that if A supervises B and B supervises C then A also supervises C. In which case C would have 2 supervisors.

ONeil(id=8) is supervised by 11 who is supervised by 4 who is supervised by 9 who is supervised by 1 who is supervised by 6 who is supervised by 14 who has no supervisor listed. I.E

Oneil:11->4->9->1->6->14 added together : 6 supervisors in total. Mark "Yes"

Patel(id=7): 3->1->6->14 added together: 4 Mark "No"
Schickler(id=2) 10->6->14 added together: 3 Mark "No"

Yes,No, No

All of them doesn't supervise anyone and only O'Neill has 6 supervisors above him so for him answer is yes,while for the other two the number is less than 5

For each of the following, select ‘yes’ if it identifies an employee who, within the HR dept., supervises no one......
1) within the HR corresponds to that employee being in HR
Or
2) within the HR corresponds to the ones he supervises

I know, not very important here but can be tricky if multiple depts. present

Pls help

They are all in the HR department of the company. It is a useless specification the one given



Agree. But as previously mentioned, if multiple dept. present then it could be of significance. Any thoughts with that in context ??

Hi guys!
The question originally asks for at AT LEAST 5


Dear Sajjad1994

Could you please fix the misconception. It is problematic to comprehend what particularly question stem states.

­Does 14 mean that the person is not there as he is not in the table and we must not consider him? how does it work?
