Honestly, any problem with tag Google on leetcode has a chance of coming up. So you have to practice them regardless of difficulty.

How much should you solve? Everything that you can get your hands on.

    Thanks. i should solve by company tags rather than individuals.

    also are you sure that a question asked in google can again be asked.

      Why not? There is always a chance that the interviewer has a finite pool of questions.

      There is generally an effort on ensuring that leaked questions aren't used, and "The most popular interview preparation platform in the world says that this question is used at Google" is a strong enough signal to ban the problem.

      It's not like everything works 100% perfectly... But generally you should expect that questions marked as "Google interview questions" around the Internet are unlikely to actually be asked during your interview. Though I still think it is a good idea to practice them, to get the skills and knowledge which you can then apply to (a different) question during the real interview.

        Is this really true? I have gotten tonnes of google interview where the question can be found on leetcode. Heck, even two of my interview questions is directly taken off Cracking the Coding interview book.
