P2 din't say anything.
P1 : Gave me an equation([mod(x)-x]/x) and asked me to plot the graph
Me : Did so
P1 : Asked me to find its differential at x=0
Me : Discontinous at x=0.so differential is not defined.Felt a little relaxed after answering this confidently.
P3 :So, what is your project about?
Me: Explained about the real estate project.
P3 : What should i consider if i want to set up a hotel?
