Interview Complexity - Unsure

I find conflicting answers everywhere. 

Under what circumstances would a candidate be asked, in an interview, to show their ability to formulate a DCF or LBO or any other form of valuation; be it paper (simple, <5min) or a full example?

Also, what's the range of technical questions you could get? I see some claiming the 'technical' questions are exclusively brain teasers, whilst others say that the technicals could delve into much more complex topics regarding IB.

Thank you in advance!
