A very interesting trivia question for all.
Why do men shirts have their buttons on the right side and women have buttons on the left-hand side?
The answer is our history. Most men are right handed and if the button is on the right, it is easy for them to fasten the buttons if they are on the right side. Hence their button is on the right side.
When shirt with buttons was introduced then it can be afforded only by rich people. Rich lady often has maids and maids face the ladies and it is easier for them to fasten the buttons if the buttons are on the left side.

This is the interview puzzle asked to my friend in an interview of "blackrock".
As shown in the picture below, There is a circular car race track of 10km. There are two cars, we called them Car A and Car B. And they are at the exact opposite end to each other. At Time T(0), Both cars move toward each other at a constant speed of 100m / seconds. As we know both cars are at the same speed they will always be the exact opposite to each other.
Note, at the center, there is a bug which starts flying towards Car A at time T(0). When the bug reaches car B, it turns back and starts moving towards the car A. The speed of bug is 1m/second. After 5hours all three stop moving.
What is the total distance covered by the bug?
As we know bug travels at a constant speed of 1m/seconds
=> in 5 hours
=> 5 * 60 * 60 meters
=> 18km.
Can you complete below number series by replacing "?" with the correct number.
10 # 10 # 20 # ? # 110 # 300 # 930
45
Pattern goes like
10
10 * 0.5 + 5 => 10
10 * 1.0
+ 10 => 20
20 * 1.5 + 15 => 45(Ans)
45 * 2.0 + 20 => 110
110 * 2.5 + 25 => 300
300 * 3.0 + 30 => 930

By moving exactly three matchsticks can you make the below equation true.It can be solved by 3 ways.
By using all numbers, i.e. 123456789 and subtraction/addition, operators number 100 can be formed in many ways.
Example 98 + 7 + 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 + 2 - 1 = 100
But if we add a condition that use of the number 32 is the must. Then there are limited solutions.
One of such solution is: 9 - 8 + 76 + 54 - 32 + 1 = 100
Can you tell any other solution?
9 - 8 + 7 + 65 - 4 + 32 - 1 = 100
9 - 8 + 76 + 54 - 32 + 1 = 100
Other ways of making number 100 (withiout using number 32)
98 + 7 + 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 + 2 - 1 = 100
98 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 + 3 + 21 = 100
9 - 8 + 76 - 5 + 4 + 3 + 21 = 100
98 - 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 = 100
98 + 7 - 6 + 5 - 4 + 3 - 2 - 1 = 100
98 + 7 - 6 + 5 - 4 - 3 + 2 + 1 = 100
98 - 7 + 6 + 5 - 4 + 3 - 2 + 1 = 100
98 - 7 + 6 - 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 - 1 = 100
98 + 7 - 6 - 5 + 4 + 3 - 2 + 1 = 100
98 - 7 - 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 100
9 + 8 + 76 + 5 + 4 - 3 + 2 - 1 = 100
9 + 8 + 76 + 5 - 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 100
