Round 1 Screening**

Coding Reverse a linked list (Write end-to-end code). Find the intersection point of two linked lists. Networking & Debugging: Basic networking and debugging questions. Scenario Based : Packet drop debugging. Given a three-router topology (R1→R2→R3), if a packet is not received at destination R3, how would you debug this scenario and identify where the packet is being dropped?

Loop Round 1

Coding A warehouse manager needs to create a shipment to fill a truck. All products are in identical-sized boxes, but each product has a different number of units per box. Given the number of boxes the truck can hold, determine the maximum number of units of any mix of products that can be shipped.

Example 1 boxes = [1, 2, 3] (boxes available for each product) unitsPerBox = [3, 2, 1] (units per box for each product) truckSize = 3 (maximum number of boxes the truck can hold)

Output: 7 Linked List: Given a linked list where each node contains either 0 or 1,

return the equivalent decimal value.
