ExxonMobil Sample Questions

1. Employee Classification / Compartmentalization

In addition to the permissions of each individual class, each employee holds the permissions to floors and servers of all classes of a lower number than his/hers.

Class 1 – May access floors 1-3 and any file on server Z.
Class 2 – May access floor 4 and any file coded green on server Y.
Class 3 – May access floors 5-6 and any file coded yellow on server Y or coded green on server X.
Class 4 – May access all floors and all files.

Mark Payne has access to floor 4 and to a file coded red on server Z. Mark is classified at least at:

A. The situation is impossible 
B. Class 2 
C. Class 3 
D. Class 4

Explanation:
The correct answer is (B).

Since Mark has access to floor 4, he must be classified at least in Class 2.

Since Mark has access to a file on server Z, he must be classified at least in Class 1.

In total, Mark can be classified at least in Class 2.

Remember, Class 2 employees can also access file on server Z, because Class 1 is lower and holds that permission.

  
2. In what position would it be easier for the worker to carry the wheelbarrow?

A.

B.

Explanation

The correct answer is B.

A wheelbarrow is a second-class lever. The fulcrum is its wheel, the user applies the input force onto the handles, and the output force carries the load in middle. Much like any other lever, the input force creates a torque via the fulcrum to carry the load; the torque is the product of the input force and the arm's distance. Since the load is the same for both workers, the output torque is also the same.

However, worker B is gripping the handles farther from the load – thus, the arm's distance is longer, and to achieve the needed torque, a smaller input force is required. Therefore, worker B will carry the wheelbarrow more easily.
