How to Approach an Interview Question You Cant
Answer?

OVERVIEW

• Everyone likes to go to interviews prepared, but
  even if you practice and cover all the possible
  topics discussed during an interview, you are
  bound to face a question that you just cant seem
  to answer.
• Being unable to answer a question asked during
  your interview can make you break out in a sweat.
  Your heart may start beating fast, and your head
  might start spinning. Everyone may have instances
  when they were losing words during an interview.

Significance of Questions You Cannot Answer

• First things first, everyone cannot know
  everything. It is only natural to be unaware of a
  few things discussed during your interview.
  Theres no need to panic if you find yourself in
  a situation where you cant seem to find an
  answer to a question.
• Most of us look at interviews as a test where you
  need a perfect score to get the job. More often
  than not, that is not the case. If you start
  panicking or feel defeated due to that question,
  it may leave a terrible impression of you on the
  interviewer.

Why Should One Deal with a Question They Cannot
Answer?

• Imagine talking to someone and asking them a
  question. If they start panicking and get
  disheartened entirely, would you consider them as
  a person who could deal with challenges head-on
  and figure out the solutions to the problems that
  have arisen? This is the kind of impression you
  may leave on the interviewer when you start
  fretting over a question that you could not
  answer.
• Being calm and composed in the face of
  devastation allows one to make decisions
  rationally rather than emotional.

How to Answer Interview Questions that Leave One
in the Dark?

• Respond and not React - Panic is generally the
  first reaction when you face a question that has
  got you beat. You feel flustered and lost. It is
  natural to feel this way, and there are ways to
  fix this. Start by asking for clarity on the
  question to ensure that you have understood the
  question correctly.
• Seek Confirmation - After the interviewer has
  explained the question again, it is time to
  gather your thoughts and put on a confident tone.
  Collect all of your thoughts about the question
  and seek confirmation of your understanding.
• What if all you need is some more time to figure
  it out? - Just let the interviewer know if you
  need some time to answer the question. In most
  cases, the interviewer will gladly allow you some
  time to think it over. You can also buy some time
  by asking the interviewer to collect your
  thoughts about this question and answer it at the
  end of the interview.

Should You worry About Unanswered Question?

• More often than not, most jobs dont require you
  to be an all-knowing candidate. If you approach
  the dreadful question with honesty and
  professionalism, you have absolutely nothing to
  worry about.
• You only need to worry if the question was a
  basic one that you should have known. It shows
  signs of being unprepared and unqualified for the
  job. If it was just one of the million other
  things you should know, then its not something
  you should sweat over.
