Our team has curated a list of the most important product management frameworks asked in interviews such as Google, Deloitte, McKinsey, Microsoft, EY, ZS and many more. The frameworks are created from the best practices adopted by previous year candidates.
In this estimation question we have analysed the market size of the number of hairs on your scalp. Check out the step-by-step answer created by Mobiprep experts.
Estimation Question Step-1: Segmentation
Approach:

Estimation Question Step-2: Solution
i) Head to be rectangular
Now, assuming that 80% of the scalp is covered by hair.
We have,
80% of 150 sq. cm = 120 sq. cm
Assuming, the thickness of the hair to be 1 mm or 0.1 cm
So, for total no. of hairs on scalp
= 120/0.1 = 1200 hairs
ii) Head to be curved
Now, assuming that 80% of the scalp is covered by hair.
We have,
80% of 157 sq. cm = 125.6 sq. cm
Assuming, the thickness of the hair to be 1 mm or 0.1 cm
So, for total no. of hairs on scalp
= 126/0.1 = 1260 hairs
