Problem statement
Ted has a pineapple. This pineapple is not an ordinary pineapple rather it is able to bark like a bulldog!
At time t (in seconds) it barks for the first time. Then every s seconds after it, it barks twice with 1
second interval. Thus it barks at times t, t + s, t + s + 1, t + 2s, t + 2s + 1, etc.
Ted woke up in the morning and wants to eat the pineapple, but he can't eat it when it's barking. Ted
plans to eat it at time x (in seconds), so he asked you to tell him if it's gonna bark at that time.
Input Format
The first and only line of input contains three integers t, s and x — the time the pineapple barks for the
first time, the pineapple barking interval, and the time Barney wants to eat the pineapple respectively.
Constraints
(0 ≤ t, x ≤ 109, 2 ≤ s ≤ 10^9)
Output Format
Print a single "YES" (without quotes) if the pineapple will bark at time x or a single "NO" (without quotes)
otherwise in the only line of output.
Sample Input:
3 10 4
Sample Output:
PYTHON CODE:
t,s,x=map(int,input().split())

Sales drive in big organizations many times fall at on the face. Research showed that an average buyer
remembers only 20% of the things discussed during a sales call. The saddest part is that the sales
team doesn't get to choose what that 20% of things would be. The world today is cluttered with
information and thus it is essential that the sales team represents their product/service in the best
possible manner. It is like answering questions that children ask. Expect basic and out of context
questions and reply to each one of them, patiently, in a way that the customers understand the
intricacies. You can use technical terms to explain your product and its features. No doubt, it will be an
accurate methodology but certainly not the right one. Simplify your message and see how well your
client remembers your presentation when you meet him to finally close the deal.
A customer is as gullible as a child and hence may ask many questions.
If you simplify your message, the customer would remember your entire presentation.
A regular buyer would remember more than 20% of the details after a sales meeting.
One should try and minimize the usage of technical terms to explain a product to the customer.

Based on the given passage and out which of the statement can be inferred from the passage. With new
seasons of reality shows being telecast every month, the viewership of these shows has increased.
Viewership and participation in reality TV shows are mostly induced by two common motivators: fame
and money. The shows transform common people who are otherwise obscure figures to household
names. A few successfully maneuver their small stint with fame to become celebrities. Winners of
Reality TV shows reap huge financial rewards for acts including eating large insects, marrying someone
they barely know, and revealing their innermost thoughts to millions of people.
There are more reality shows on TV than regular shows as viewership of reality shows is higher
Reality TV is one of the best things that has happened to television networks in a long time
Reality shows owe their popularity to the fact that all their participants become rich and famous.
The participation money in reality shows is linked to the bizarreness of the acts on the show

Read the following passage and answer the questions below: The company's relentless advertising
campaign ($50 million budgeted this year) has made the McDonald's jingle, you deserve a break today,
almost as familiar as the Star-Spangled Banner. But the chain's managers have wrought their greatest
achievement by taking a familiar American institution, the greasy-spoon hamburger joint, and
transforming it into a totally different though no less quintessentially American operation: a
computerized, standardized, pre-measured, super clean production machine efficient enough to give
even the chiefs of General Motors food for thought. Machinery and equipment cannot do everything, of
course. Human beings are involved too, some 130,000 employees in nine countries, from Western
Europe to Japan and Australia. McDonald's has grown from a uniquely American to a truly global
operation. If a manager tries to sell his customers hamburgers that have been off the grill more than
ten minutes or coffee more than 30 minutes old. Big Brother in Oak Brook will nd out. Headquarters
executives calculate exactly how much food each restaurant can be expected to throw away each day,
and are ready to chastise a chronically deviant manager who has no good explanation To some critics,
the success of that machine is a devastating comment on American values. Harvard nutritionist Jean
Mayer warms that a steady diet of McDonald's fare and nothing else could give a customer scurvy
because it would lack sufficient vitamin C. Mayer also says that the menu provides large amounts of
fats and calories and contains almost no roughage. Since no one is forced to eat at a McDonald's the
chain must be giving multitudes exactly what they want. For one thing, many people nd the cheerily
bland atmosphere reassuming. McDonald's has designed a place to neutralize this anxiety, a place that
does not make a customer feel he will not know how to use his fork. Also, McDonald's is one of the few
places left where a customer can buy a meal for $1 or less. What has been the achievement of
managers in McDonald's?
Inventing a new system of burger joints
Launching products that were unheard of on a worldwide scale
Changing the face of fast food joints in America
Transforming the existing fast food system into an efficient and computerized system

Read the following passage and answer the questions below: The Stratosphere, specifically, the lower
Stratosphere has, it seems, been dying out. Water vapor is a greenhouse gas, and the cooling effect on
the Earth's climate due to this desiccation may account for a fair bit of the slowdown in the rise of
global temperatures seen over the past ten years. The stratosphere sits on top of the Troposphere, the
lowest, densest layer of the atmosphere. The boundary between the two, the Tropopause, is about
18km above your head if you are in the tropics, and a few kilometers lower if you are at higher latitudes (
or up a mountain ). In the Troposphere, the air at higher altitudes is in general cooler than the air below
it, an unstable situation in which warm and often moist air below is endlessly buoying up into cooler air
above. The resultant commotion creates clouds, storms, and much of the rest of the world's weather. In
the Stratosphere, the air gets warmer at higher altitudes, which provides stability. The Stratospherewhich extends up to about 55 km, where the Mesosphere begins, is made even less weather-prone by
the absence of water vapor, and thus of the clouds and precipitation to which it leads. This is because
the top of the Troposphere is normally very cold, causing ascending water vapor to freeze into ice
crystals that drift and fall, rather than continuing up into the Stratosphere. A little water manages to get
past this cold trap. But as Dr Solomon and her colleagues note, satellite measurements show that
rather less has been doing so over the past ten years than was the case previously. Plugging the
changes in water vapor into a climate model that looks at the way different substances absorb and
emit infrared radiation, they conclude that between 1000 and 2009 a drop in the Stratospheric water
vapor of less than one part per million slowed the rate of warming at the Earth's surface by about 25%.
Such a small change in Stratospheric water vapor can have a large effect precisely because the
Stratosphere is already dry. It is the relative change in the amount of greenhouse gas, not its absolute
level, which determines how much warming it can produce. What accounts for the absence of water
vapor in the stratosphere
Rising global temperatures, leading to reduced water vapour that gets absorbed in the tropospher
Before the vapour can rise up, it has to pass through below freezing temperatures and turns into
ice
The layer of Stratosphere is situated too far above for the water vapour to reach

Read the paragraph given below and answer the questions given. My phone rings again. It is futile to
ignore it anymore. Maneesha is persistent, She will continue to bedevil me until I acquiesce. Hello, I
answer. The circus, Atika? she says in her sing-song voice. When are we going? Only two more days left!
I abhor the Circus. The boisterous crowds, the overwhelming smell of animal feces, the insanely long
lines with wailing children, and the impossibility of finding a clean restroom all combine to make this an
event that I dread. For Maneesha, my best friend since the angst of middle school, the Circus is a sign
that divine powers really do exist. Really, Atika, where else can you pet an elephant, see a stuntman ride
a horse, laugh till you are ready to cry, see the world's smallest person and eat fried potatoes and
butter-soaked popcorn? Maneesha asks gleefully. Hell? I guess. The fried food at the circus is a
gastronomical nightmare on its own. I once tried a fried Cottage Cheese stick at the fair and was sick
to my stomach for hours. And a fried burger with oil soaked potato patty, cheese, multicolored sauces,
AND a greasy slice of cottage cheese? how could that not be deleterious to your health? Why might
the author have chosen to capitalize all the letters in the word and when writing about the burger she
ate?
To show that a greasy slice of cottage cheese was the last ingredient
To emphasize how many ingredients were in the burger
To make sure the reader understood it was a list
To highlight her dislike...

Read the following passage and answer the questions below: The company's relentless advertising
campaign ($50 million budgeted this year) has made the McDonald's jingle, you deserve a break today,
almost as familiar as the Star-Spangled Banner. But the chain's managers have wrought their greatest
achievement by taking a familiar American institution, the greasy-spoon hamburger joint, and
transforming it into a totally different though no less quintessentially American operation: a
computerized, standardized, pre-measured, super clean production machine efficient enough to give
even the chiefs of General Motors food for thought. Machinery and equipment cannot do everything, of
course. Human beings are involved too, some 130,000 employees in nine countries, from Western
Europe to Japan and Australia. McDonald's has grown from a uniquely American to a truly global
operation. If a manager tries to sell his customers hamburgers that have been off the grill more than
ten minutes or coffee more than 30 minutes old. Big Brother in Oak Brook will nd out. Headquarters
executives calculate exactly how much food each restaurant can be expected to throw away each day,
and are ready to chastise a chronically deviant manager who has no good explanation To some critics,
the success of that machine is a devastating comment on American values. Harvard nutritionist Jean
Mayer warms that a steady diet of McDonald's fare and nothing else could give a customer scurvy
because it would lack sufficient vitamin C. Mayer also says that the menu provides large amounts of
fats and calories and contains almost no roughage. Since no one is forced to eat at a McDonald's the
chain must be giving multitudes exactly what they want. For one thing, many people and the cheerily
bland atmosphere reassuming. McDonald's has designed a place to neutralize this anxiety, a place that
does not make a customer feel he will not know how to use his fork. Also, McDonald's is one of the few
places left where a customer can buy a meal for $1 or less / What is the reason for loyalists visiting this
fast-food chain?
Great service at inexpensive prices
All of the above
Comfortable environment
An informal set up providing delicious food
