🧠 Sample Guidewire Online Assessment Questions (with Answers) 1. Aptitude and logical thinking

A man can do a job in 20 days. After 8 days of work, another worker joins him and accomplishes the job in 6 more days. How many days will it take the second person to finish the project by themselves?

A: Let the whole work be 1 unit.
Man A works 1/20 of a day, thus in 8 days he does 8/20 of a day of work.
Remaining = 0.6 work done by both in 6 days, which is 0.1 each day.
So, A plus B equals 0.1 every day.
A = 1/20, B = 0.1 – 0.05, which is 0.05. Then, 1/0.05 = 20 days.
🔹 2. Java and Gosu Basics (multiple choice or fill in the blanks)

Q2: Which of the following is a legitimate declaration in Gosu?

A) var myNumber : Integer = 10 B) int myNumber = 10 C) Integer myNumber := 10 D) myNumber = Integer(10)
