1/ Don't rate your question
2/ Post in the correct place: backup interview question must in either "homework, certification, training" forum or "backup" forum

Point 1 prevent me from answering, too bad, you tried to get attention in an unfair way, you have no answer from me.

Regards
Michel

When datafile is in backup mode,oracle copies the first modified block to the redo log files.
When the same block is modified again ,only the modified part is copied.

Since DML continues as normal,lots of redo blocks are copied to the redo files and hence lots of redo is generated.

There are more redo logs generated because the first time a block is modified after "begin backup" it is fully written in the redo logs and not just the modifications as in the normal process.

Then you should have told him again.
BTW, the answer is not so simple as it looks.

You didn't explain why there are more redo generation with what you posted.

How would other users benefit from that?
So they can learn the answers to these questions, in order to pose themselves as more experienced or expert than they really are?

Just by mugging up some inaccurate answers.
I don't think so.

I take it as a reason to look in to the docs.
