Could be different for analytical roles but the intent behind these questions seems relevant to most roles. FWIW, these are all Fermi approximation problems and can be answered using that framework.
I know there seems to be a lot of uncertainty about these questions but they really aren’t difficult if you apply the framework. The key is to practice asking yourself what data you would need to answer the question. That will help you breakdown the problem into manageable chunks so you can get to an estimate quickly.
