Medium

Table: drivers

+-------------+---------+
| Column Name | Type    |
+-------------+---------+
| driver_id   | int     |
| driver_name | varchar |
+-------------+---------+
driver_id is the unique identifier for this table.
Each row contains information about a driver.

Table: trips

+---------------+---------+
| Column Name   | Type    |
+---------------+---------+
| trip_id       | int     |
| driver_id     | int     |
| trip_date     | date    |
| distance_km   | decimal |
| fuel_consumed | decimal |
+---------------+---------+
trip_id is the unique identifier for this table.
Each row represents a trip made by a driver, including the distance traveled and fuel consumed for that trip.

Write a solution to find drivers whose fuel efficiency has improved by comparing their average fuel efficiency in the first half of the year with the second half of the year.

  • Calculate fuel efficiency as distance_km / fuel_consumed for each trip
  • First half: January to June, Second half: July to December
  • Only include drivers who have trips in both halves of the year
  • Calculate the efficiency improvement as (second_half_avg - first_half_avg)
  • Round all results to 2 decimal places

Return the result table ordered by efficiency improvement in descending order, then by driver name in ascending order.

The result format is in the following example.

Explanation:

  • Alice Johnson (driver_id = 1):
    • First half trips (Jan-Jun): Feb 15 (120.5/10.2 = 11.81), Mar 20 (200.0/16.5 = 12.12)
    • First half average efficiency: (11.81 + 12.12) / 2 = 11.97
    • Second half trips (Jul-Dec): Aug 10 (150.0/11.0 = 13.64), Sep 25 (180.0/12.5 = 14.40)
    • Second half average efficiency: (13.64 + 14.40) / 2 = 14.02
    • Efficiency improvement: 14.02 - 11.97 = 2.05
  • Bob Smith (driver_id = 2):
    • First half trips: Jan 10 (100.0/9.0 = 11.11), Apr 15 (250.0/22.0 = 11.36)
    • First half average efficiency: (11.11 + 11.36) / 2 = 11.24
    • Second half trips: Oct 5 (200.0/15.0 = 13.33)
    • Second half average efficiency: 13.33
    • Efficiency improvement: 13.33 - 11.24 = 2.10 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
  • Drivers not included:
    • Carol Davis (driver_id = 3): Only has trips in first half (Mar, May)
    • David Wilson (driver_id = 4): Only has trips in second half (Jul, Nov)
    • Emma Brown (driver_id = 5): Only has trips in first half (Feb)

The output table is ordered by efficiency improvement in descending order then by name in ascending order.
