Given a coin, the diameter of the next larger coin is at least 50% greater. The diameter of the coin must always be an integer. You are asked to design a set of coins of different diameters with these requirements and your goal is to design as many coins as possible. How many coins can you design? 5 9 6 8 Ans: c(hint:first coin has length 64 mm,2nd coin diamter length 64+(50/100)*64,3rd coin 2nd coins diameter length+50/100 of 2nd coinds lenght,in that way go till you reach maximum diamter length 512!now think! 16. The pacelength P is the distance between the rear of two consecutive footprints. For men, the formula, n/P = 144 gives an approximate relationship between n and P where, n = number of steps per minute and P = pacelength in meters. Bernard knows his pacelength is 164cm. The formula applies to Bernard's walking. Calculate Bernard's walking speed in kmph. 23.62 11.39 8.78 236.16 ans:a 17.A hollow cube of size 5 cm is taken, with a thickness of 1 cm. It is made of smaller cubes of size 1 cm. If 4 faces of the outer surface of the cube are painted, totally how many faces of the smaller cubes remain unpainted? 800 500 488 900 ans:side of cube = 5 cm its thichness = 1 cm so volume of outer cube = 5*5*5 volume of inner cube = 3*3*3 volume of the hollow cube = 5*5*5 - 3*3*3 = 98 so total no of small cubes of the size 1 cm = 98/1*1*1 = 98 we know a cube has 6 faces so total no of face = 98*6 = 588

one surface of outer cube contains a total of 25 surface of smaller cube , so when 4 surface of outer cube is painted total no of surface of small cubes i.e supposed to be painted is 4*25 = 100 so the total no of surfaces of small cube that will be remained unpainted is 588-100 = 488 no of faces remain unpainted: 588-( 25* no faces painted) 18. 10 suspects are rounded by the police and questioned about a bank robbery.

How many gloves must she take out to make sure she has a pair of each color? a)50 b)8 c)60 d)42 ans:60 There can be lots of logic for this, but approach the simplest one so that we approach to one of the solutions. Suppose the lady first picks 32 Red gloves, and then 24 Yellow gloves. The next pair she pics will be one Yellow and One Blue which does not make a pair. The next two will be blue gloves. So she make a total of 32+24+1+1+2 = 60 picks. 20. One day Rapunzel meets Dwarf and Byte in the Forest of forgetfulness. She knows that Dwarf lies on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and tells the truth on the other days of the week. Byte, on the other hand, lies on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, but tells the truth on the other days of the week. Now they make the following statements to Rapunzel Dwarf: Yesterday was one of those days when I lie. Byte: Yesterday was one of those days when I lie too. What day is it? a]Thursday b]Tuesday c]Sunday d]Monday ANS:: Thursday Explanation : On Thursday, Dwarf says truth. i.e Yesterday(Wednesday) was one of those days when I lies. Its true. On the other hand, On Thursday, Byte lies. i.e Yesterday(Wednesday) was one of those days when I lie too. Its a lie.... So both satisfied. Hence its Thursday. 21 The citizens of planet nigiet are 5 fingered and have thus developed their decimal system in base 8. A certain street in nigiet contains 1000 (in base 5) buildings numbered 1 to 1000. How many 3s are used in numbering these buildings? Express result in terms of base 10. a) 54 b)64 c) 75 d) 100 I didnt ans it.. For base 8.. (8^2)*3 i dont know how to xpress it base 10

Out of 35 question i had attempted 33 question nd cut off was around 27. Accuracy matters. Put R. S. Aggarwal in ur drawer. For TCS RS Aggarwal is not required. Technical Interview On next day first we had PPT by TCS. TCS recruiters were 3 hrs late :D We were divided into IT and ITIS. IT is core progarmin nd ITIS networkin nd cloud computin etc etc. i waz selected for IT. Please Please take complete sleep before interview day.

hii... my name is prakash ranjan.Im from Kalyani Govt. Engg. College..

TCS come in my college on 7th jan 2011. i want share some of my experience with all of u.... At first we have a aptitude test of 80 min.Its online.I just give u some tricks of some problems asked in aptitude... 1. There are two water tanks A and B, A is much smaller than B. While water fills at the rate of 1 liter every hour in A, it gets filled up like, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 in tank B. (At the end of first hour, B has 10 liters, second hour it has 20 liters and so on). If tank B is 1/32 filled of the 21 hours, what is total duration of hours required to fill it completely? ans.-here part filled is 1/32 then 1/32=1/(2)^5. so ans is 21+5. 2. 6 persons standing in queue with different age group, after two years their average age will be 43 and seventh person joined with them. Hence the current average age has become 45. Find the age of seventh person? ans.-Total age of 6 persons is x hours,after two years total age of 6 persons is x+12 Average age of 6 persons is after two years is 43 So (x+12)/6=43,then x=246 After 7th person is added then (246+7th person age)/7=45 7th person age = 69 3. One statement problem-in this problem if atleast all statement are true - first part true and last part false exactly all statement are true - second part true rest is false atmost all statement are true - all are false. 4. The hare starts after the tortoise has covered 1/5 of its distance and that too leisurely3. A hare and a tortoise have a race along a circle of 100 yards diameter. The tortoise goes in one direction and the. The hare and tortoise meet when the hare has covered only 1/8 of the distance. By what factor should the hare increase its speed so as to tie the race? in this problem atfirst find the ratio of the distance left to cover the turtle and distance by the hare. means-(87.5-20)/12.5=5.4 and then 87.5/12.5=7 and multiply these two 5.4*7=37.8 5. alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N=9+X+Y-Z Where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining

variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be. ans.- in this problem there is 3 patern 1st X+Y-Z=11 X*Y-Z=18 X-Y-Z=2 u just add the to the no given. 6.- For the FIFA world cup, Paul the octopus has been predicting the winner of each match with amazing success. It is rumored that in a match between 2 teams A and B, Paul picks A with the same probability as A's chances of winning. Let's assume such rumors to be true and that in a match between Ghana and Bolivia, Ghana the stronger team has a probability of 2/3 of winning the game. What is the probability that Paul will correctly pick the winner of the Ghana-Bolivia game? ans.- hare the answer is - 2/3*2/3+1/3*1/3=5/9 7.-After the typist writes 12 letters and addresses 12 envelopes, she inserts the letters randomly into the envelopes (1 letter per envelope). What is the probability that exactly 1 letter is inserted in an improper envelope? ans- 0 8.- There are two boxes, one containing 10 red balls and the other containing 10 green balls. You are allowed to move the balls between the boxes so that when you choose a box at random and a ball at random from the chosen box, the probability of getting a red ball is maximized. This maximum probability is ans.- the tricks is - 1/2*1+(n-1)/(n-1+m)*1/2 here n is the no. which have to be max. and m is the another no. here m is green ball and n is red ball.here ans is 14/19 9.- A and B play a game of dice between them. The dice consist of colors on their faces (instead of numbers). When the dice are thrown, A wins if both show the same color; otherwise B wins. One die has 4 red face and 2 blue faces. How many red and blue faces should the other die have if the both players have the same chances of winning? ans.- here the ans is 3red and 3 blue. 10.- On planet zorba, a solar blast has melted the ice caps on its equator. 8 years after the ice melts, tiny plantoids called echina start growing on the rocks. echina grows in the form of a circle and the relationship between the diameter of this circle and the age of echina is given by the formula d = 4 * sqrt (t 8)for t = 8 Where the represents the diameter in mm and t the number of years since the solar blast. Jagan recorded the time of some echina at a particular spot is 24 years then what is diameter? ans- this is the simple problem just put the value of t and find d.

11.- A circular dartboard of radius 1 foot is at a distance of 20 feet from you. You throw a dart at it and it hits the dartboard at some point Q in the circle. What is the probability that Q is closer to the center of the circle than the periphery? ans.- here the tricks is (n/2)^2/n^2 here n is the radius of circle. 12.- 36 people {a1, a2, ..., a36} meet and shake hands in a circular fashion. In other words, there are totally 36 handshakes involving the pairs, {a1, a2}, {a2, a3}, ..., {a35, a36}, {a36, a1}. Then size of the smallest set of people such that the rest have shaken hands with at least one person in the set is. ans.- hare the tricks is if the handshake is circular and given no is even-then n/2 if odd then n/3. and if hand shake is non circular then n-1. 13.- Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack. Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top coin (0 = i = 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold coinis the third coin from the top. ans.- Ans is in order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move.(This is the final ans.) 14.- The citizens of planet nigiet are 8 fingered and have thus developed their decimal system in base 8. A certain street in nigiet contains 1000 (in base 8) buildings numbered 1 to 1000. How many 3s are used in numbering these buildings? ans.- here the tricks is 8*8+8*8+8*8=192 (here the base is 8)if the base is n then n*n+n*n+n*n. 15.- Six friends decide to share a big cake. Since all of them like the cake, they begin quarreling who gets to first cut and have a piece of the cake. One friend suggests that they have a blindfold friend choose from well shuffled set of cards numbered one to six. You check and find that this method works as it should simulating a fair throw of a die. You check by performing multiple simultaneous trials of picking the cards blindfold and throwing a die. You note that the number shown by

the method of picking up a card and throwing a real world die, sums to a number between 2 and 12. Which total would be likely to appear more often 8,9 or 10? a) 8 b) All are equally likely c) 9 d) 10 ans.- here the ans is 8. because 8 comes in 3 types(4+4,5+3,6+2),9 comes in 2 types(5+4,6+3),and 10 comes 2 types(5+5,6+4). 16.- How many of 14 digit numbers we can make with 1,2,3,4,5 that are divisible by 4. Repetitions allowed. ans.- here ans is 5^(n-1) n is the 14. 17.- Which is the smallest no which divides 2880 and gives a perfect square? a) 4 b) 9 c) 3 d) 5 ans.- 2880/5=576 and 576=24*24. 18.- 3 persons a,b,c were there A always says truth,B lies on Monday,tusday,& Wednesday.but C lies on thrusday,Friday & saturday .one day A saidthat B & C said to A that B said yesterday way one of the days when I lies,C said thatyesterday way one of the days when I lies too.then which day was that? ans.- the ans of all this type is Thursday. 19.-There 10 programers, type 10 lines with in 10 minutes then 60lines can type within 60 minutes. How many programmers are needed? ans.- we have 3 question of this type the solution is based on time and work. 20.-amrith told to Anand in front of a Photo that He is the son of my fathers son.Find who is in the picture if amrith have no brothers and sisters. ans.- the ans is him means amrith itself. 21.- In T.Nagar the building were numbered from 1 to 100.Then how many 4s will be present in the numbers? ans.- Here if the n's is given then ans is 20. n's is from 2 to 9. and if 1 is given then ans is 21. 22.- If a and b are mixed in 3:5 ration and b and c are mixed in 8:5 ration if the final mixture is 35 liters, find the amount of b? ans.- b/(a+b+c)*35. 23.- If there are 30 cans out of them one is poisoned if a person tastes very little he will die within 14 hours so if there are mice to test and 24 hours to test, how many mices are required to find the poisoned can? ans.- 6 24.- A man whose age is 45 yrs has 3 sons named John, Jill, jack.

He has bought equal number of apple, chocolate & banana for each son. If the total amount he invest is 7 penny then how many he has bought from each piece for his son? ans.- 1 apple,2 chocklets,1bananas.simply 1 2 1. 25.- There are 1000 pillars for a temple. 3 friends Linda, Chelsey, Juli visited that temple. (Some unrelated stuff) Linda is taller than Chelsea and taller than 2 of 1000 pillars. Julia is shorter than Linda. Find the correct sentence? ans.-here p>j 26.-A lady has fine gloves and hats in her closet- 18 blue, 32 red, and 25 yellow. The lights are out and it is totally dark. In spite of the darkness, she can make out the difference between a hat and a glove. She takes out an item out of the closet only if she is sure that if it is a glove. How many gloves must she take out to make sure she has a pair of each color? ans.- Here the tricks is at first take the ball is max. and then take second max. no. and 2. here ans is 32+25+2. 27.- A scientist was researching on animal behavior in his lab. He was very interested in analyzing the behavior of bear. For some reason he travelled 1mile in north direction & reached at North Pole. There he saw a bear. He then followed the bear around 1 hr with a speed of 2km/hr in east direction. After that he travelled in south direction & reached at his lab in2 hrs. Then what is the color of the bear? ans.- ans is white bear. Thats all I have attend 34 questions and I just cleared my aptitude test. now my interview is on 7th jan.

Thats all I have just remember. finally I got selected in TCS. So best of luck to all of u gye's see u soon in TCS. Hi guys this is Ajay Chauhan from Shr Vaishnav Institute of Technology and Science ,Indore.TCS had completed campus drive on 15 th Jan 2011 .It was a very simple selection procedure as mentioned in previous papers in my college they had conducted three round aptitude test ,Technical and HR .In aptitude test around more than 450 students are there from which only 300 students cleared the test and aptitude test question are always same as it previous papers like age ratio proportion don't memories answer try to figure out type of question because numbers in question get changed out of 35 if you done with more than 25 question correctly you will be selected for other rounds. In technical interview it was simple person there will be very friendly to you. Technical Interviewer had asked questions about c, c++ basic concepts of oops it is very less times happens that it will ask question about subjects that u haven't mentioned in resume or cv so be prepared for every thing particularly basic concepts .if u give wrong answer don't show our nervousness just be cool and be confident even if u have given the wrong answer.Key factor are be cool confident whatever u say be particular on it don't argue with the interviewer ,always be interactive with interviewer .revise basic concepts of c,c++ oops,your projects they never ask about industrial training because they know,u r not good at that because many students take trainings very lightly. Always have information about the company at least visit the TCS site ,TCS share market rate, board of directors name and details available on TCS site and rest information u get from Pre placement talk will done before placement All the very best for campus See u at TCS
Hi Friends, I am Hemant Verma from CSE branch 2011, UIT-RGPV, Bhopal. Its 15 Jan 2011 which is day for TCS campus drive. Its very exciting day for eveyone on UIT-RGPV since all branches is allowed to appear in TCS. Also the criteria for TCS are 60% throughout. But for most CSE students especially me its my dream company. Since I have aggregate of marks 63.8% only I cant appear for Infosys because Infosys demands for 65% aggregate throughout. TCS campus includes 3 rounds: 1. Online written test on Touchstone: Includes 35 questions only from aptitude & negative marks 1/3rd per question. 2. Technical & MR: Includes technical questions especially from your favorite subjects which are mentioned on your resume. 3. HR round: Its just final round to know about you and your family backgrounds. First we appear for written at about 12:30 pm. Most of the questions come from last year papers have some different data. Please refer www.freshersworld.com on the front page down there is list of companies and click on TCS.You get latest updates of papers there. I have remember only 26 questions there. But some questions have no answer please solve them or search them on Google.

Q26) There are two pipes A and B. If A filled 10 liters in hour B can fills 20 liters in same time. Likewise B can fill 10, 20, 40, 80,160.if B filled in (1/16) th of a tank in 3 hours, how much time will it take to fill completely? Ans: 7 hours After half an hour our results have been announced. Its very exciting moment when they declare the names list in the alphabetical order. I start praying to GOD for being selected. Finally my name was announced and I am so excited that I have cleared first round. Then we start preparing for technical round by filling the employment form given by TCS and we start dressing ourselves but I have no tie and I searching for tie from my friends. And I start finding my friend Sunny who have extra tie when I go upstairs and search him. I found that my name had been announced there and still I had not found my friend for tie. And the volunteer that our juniors force me to go immediately to the panel for technical round. I got inside the conference hall many interviewers are sitted on different panels and take the technical rounds simultaneously. When I got inside one sir give me the path to go the middle panel for interview and I reached there. Now I pleasantly wish good afternoon to him. HR: Good Afternoon. Have a seat. Tell m something about yourself. Me: I told about me, my hobbies, and my interests. HR: OK.As you have mentioned u know C++, java Me: yes sir. HR: tell me the basic difference between C++ and java. Me: A basic difference is pointers. In java there are no pointers while in C++ there is pointer. In java there is no multiple inheritances while in C++ there is.

HR: what are multiple inheritances? Me: explained with diagram and i explained about some virtual functions. HR: What is TCP? Me: its the connection oriented protocol and some more points learn about it. HR: draw TCP/IP model. Me:i draw it completely also explained about some points about it. I explain IP. HR: ask about IP and their types. Me: told some point about IP4 and IP6. HR: you have mentioned Oracle also? Me: yes sir, HR: what is oracle? Me:it is database software and some more told about it. HR: ask difference between delete, truncate, drops. Me:i explained only about delete and drop. I forget about truncate. Sir I am not sure about truncate. Please prepare well HR: ok.tell me about your experience about your life. Me: told my strong points about my struggled life. HR: why do you want to join TCS? Me: Sir, It is one of the toppest IT company around the world. Its my dream company. Also my friends and seniors suggest me to join TCS.It has global exposure for overall improvement HR: Do you have any questions? Me: Yes, What do you think about me and weakness points? HR: Be cool and calm and dont be nerous.Because in future you have to face lot of problems. You are an honest person. Ok you may go now. Me: thank you. Sir Then I come out from the hall and i got so worried about my result because i have given average performance in this round. I prayed to GOD for the best of me. And finally the technical list has been declared and heart beats got higher and higher. Finally my name was announced at last and I take long breathe thanks god that i got selected. Then i find my friend and got tie of light pink color. And start preparing for HR round. We start learning some points about TCS about their members, chairman [Ratan Tata] CEO [Natarajan Chandrasekharan], their tag line. Experience Certainty" Then i call for the HR round at about 7:00 pm evening. I wished him good evening. He pleasantly shakes hands with me and start interview. HR: tell me something about yourself. Me: again told about myself to him. My hobbies, good points. HR: Tell me something about our family. Me: old about my family members. My father's and mothers occupation. HR: Do you about the bond? Me: Yes sir, it is bond signed for 2 years otherwise the penalty fees is Rs.50, 000 HR: ok .fine you may go now.

Me: thank you Sir. And finally the results come out on 17 Jan 2011 at 7 pm. There is list of selected students in TCS. My friend told me that you have selected I TCS. Thats the moment when my dreams come true to be a TCSer This is my story about my experiences on campus drive. Hope you will also get selected in TCS. All the best for your future. Good Bye Hello Friends, Firstly I would like to thanks Freshersworld.com and all my friends for supporting me and final result was my selection in TCS. Really I believe in that Long hours doesnt mean anything, its the result that counts not mere efforts. So friends let me describe my success story: On 15/01/2011 TCS conducted written examination. Around 410 students participated and finally 256 students were selected in this written examination and then after interview session finally 173 students were selected. And by this figure our college has made a record of maximum no of selections in M.P in TCS. So Selection Procedure is divided into 3 states: 1) Written Test 2) Technical Interview 3) HR interview Written Test: Written test consists of 35 questions 80 mins, It is a online test. Below I share some of the questions. Q1. (1/2) of a number is 3 more than the (1/6) of the same number? a) 6 b) 7 c) 8 d) 9 Solution: Let the number be x, ((1/2)*x)=3+(1/6)*x, Then solve x Q2. There are two water tanks A and B, A is much smaller than B. While water fills at the rate of 1 liter every hour in A, it gets filled up like, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 in tank B. (At the end of first hour, B has 10 liters, second hour it has 20 liters and so on). If tank B is 1/32 filled of the 21 hours, what is total duration of hours required to fill it completely? a) 26 B) 25 c) 5 d) 27 Solution: for every hour water in tank in B is doubled, Let the duration to fill the tank B is x hours. x/32 part of water in tank of B is filled in 21 hours, Next hour it is doubled so, 2*(x/32) part i.e (x/16) part is filled in 22 hours, Similarly (x/8)th part in 23 hours,(x/4)th part is filled in 24 hours, (x/2)th part is filled in 25 hours, (x)th part is filled in 26 hours

So answer is 26 hours. Q3. Out of 7 children the youngest is boy then find the probability that all the remaining children are boys a) 1/64 b) 1/32 c) 1/128 d) 1/256 Solution: Probability of a boy or girl is So for remaining 6 its {1/2}^6= 1/64 Q4. A lady has fine gloves and hats in her closet- 14 blue, 20 red, and 18 yellow. The lights are out and it is totally dark. In spite of the darkness, she can make out the difference between a hat and a glove. She takes out an item out of the closet only if she is sure that if it is a glove. How many gloves must she take out to make sure she has a pair of each color? a) 50 b) 8 c) 40 d) 42 Solution: This is the most repeated question in Tcs so prepare it well. It has no logic but its answer comes like this Firstly add 2 max values i.e 20+18=38 Then add 2 to answer i.e. 38+2=40 so this is the answer. Q5. Sangakara and Ponting selects batting by using a dice, but dice is biased. So to resolve, Ponting takes out a coin. What is the probability that coin shows correct option? a) 1/2 b) 1/6 c) 1/12 d) 6/10 Solution is . Q6. On planet korba, a solar blast has melted the ice caps on its equator. 9 years after the ice melts, tiny planetoids called echina start growing on the rocks. Echina grows in the form of circle, and the relationship between the diameter of this circle and the age of echina is given by the formula d = 4* (t-9) for t 9 where d represents the diameter in mm and t the number of years since the solar blast.Jagan recorded the radius of some echina at a particular spot as 7mm. How many years back did the solar blast occur? a) 17 b) 21.25 c) 12.25 d) 14.05 Solution: radius =7mm, then diameter 2*radius, substitude diameter the in above equation you will get answer Q7. Ferrari S.P.A is an Italian sports car manufacturer based in Maranello, Italy. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1928 as Scuderia Ferrari, the company sponsored drivers and manufactured race cars before moving into production of street-legal vehicles in 1947 as Ferrari S.P.A. Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One where it has employed great success .Rohit once bought a Ferrari. It could go 4 times as fast as Mohan's old Mercedes. If the speed of Mohan's Mercedes is 35 km/hr and the distance traveled by the Ferrari is 490 km, find the total time taken for Rohit to drive that distance. a) 20.72 b) 3.5 c) 238.25 d) 6.18 Solution: Speed of Ferrari =4*35=140,time=distance/velocity, Q8. Entry ticket to an exhibition ranges from 1p to 31p. You need to provide exact change at the counter. You have 31p coin. In how many parts will u divide 31p so that u will

provide the exact change required and carry as less coins as possible? a) 4 b) 5 c) 6 d) 7 Solution: Will be 5. For 31p, we divide it 1,2,4,8,16. Q9. John buys a cycle for 31 dollars and given a cheque of amount 35 dollars. Shop Keeper exchanged the cheque with his neighbor and gave change to John. After 2 days, it is known that cheque is bounced. Shop keeper paid the amount to his neighbor. The cost price of cycle is 19 dollars. What is the profit/loss for shop keeper? a) loss 23 b) gain 23 c) gain 54 d) Loss 54 Solution: 23 loss as he has to pay 35 dollar to neighbor he has only 31 remaining so 35-31=4 and cycle costs 19 dollar so total loss=19+4=23 dollar Q10. If there are 30 cans out of them one is poisened if a person tastes very little he will die within 14 hours so if there are mice to test and 24 hours to test, how many mices are required to find the poisened can? A) 3 B) 2 C) 6 D) 1 Solution: 1 Because in that problem they didn't mention the details like,one mice take 2 hr or 3hr etc. They told only 24 hr to test. So 1 mice is enough rest are useless words. Q11. A Sheet of paper has statements number from 1 to 20. Statement n says "At least n of the statements on this sheet are true". Which statements are true and which are false. a. The even no statements are true and the odd no statements are false. b. The 1st 13 statements are false and rest are true. c. The 1st 6 statements are true and rest are false d. The odd no statements are true and even no. are false. Solution: This type of question was repeated 3 times but for different case. For this type of Questions, follow this: At least- Ist half are true, Last half are false Exactly- Last second one is true or (N-1)th Statement is true Almost- All are true. So correct answer is (C) Q12. On the planet Oz, there are 8 days in a week- Sunday to Saturday and another day called Oz day. There are 36 hours in a day and each hour has 90 min while each minute has 60 sec. As on earth, the hour hand covers the dial twice every day. Find the approximate angle between the hands of a clock on Oz when the time is 12:40 am. Solution: 89 deg 36 hours a day mane the clk will be of 18 hours. 18 hours covrs 360 deg Thus 1 hour covrs 20 deg 12 hours covers 12*20=240 deg ekhon,1 hour in 90 min

thus in 90min the hour hand goes 20deg tai, for 1min hr hand goes 2/9deg sei jonne, for 40 min hour hnd goes (2/9)*40deg=80/9deg=9deg(approx) thus hr hand covrs total of 240+9=249deg now min hand covrs=40*4=160deg (karon, 90min=360deg 1min=4deg) hus angle betwn them 249-160=89deg Q13. There are 5 materials to make a perfume: Lilac, Balsamic, Lemon, and Woody and MI mosaic. To make a perfume that is in demand the following conditions are to be followed: Lilac and Balsamic go together. Woody and MI mosaic go together; Woody and Balsamic never go together. Lemon can be added with any material. (Actually they had also mentioned how much amount of one can be added with how much quantity of the other; but that is not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume except: 1) Balsamic and Lilac 2) Woody and Lemon 3) MI mosaic and Woody 4) MI mosaic and Lilac Solution: First is acceptable for perfume since balsamic and liliac are given to be present and second is also acceptable as lemon can be added with any of four, third is also acceptable as given in question left fourth is not acceptable as MI mosaic is always with woody and balsamic is always with liliac. Therefore combination of MI mosaic and liliac cant occur because woody and balsamic are never together Q14: Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 15 + X*(Y Z) Where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be? Note: For this type of questions: x+y-z=11 x-y-z=2 x*(y+z)=18 What should be the approach to do such type of prob? Solution: This question was repeated 3 times for different cases Yeah TCS has this 3 type of questions where there is x+y-z,=11 x-y-z ==2 and x*(y+z)=18 If an integer is added to any of the above equations just add the integer to the value of the equations. For example in this case it would be 15+18=33. (don't ask me for explanations why this value comes for those equations. It took me some gruelling sessions to understand that)

Q15. Consider two tumblers, the first containing Water and next contains coffee. Suppose you take one spoon of water out of the first tumbler and pour it into the second tumbler.

(a) 19,80000 (b) 9,90,000 (c) 3,30,000 (d) 2,20,000 (e) 1,98,00 Solution: 1+2+6=9 1980000/9=220000 220000(mother) 440000(daughter) 1320000(brother) Answer is 220000(d) Q18. There are 3 boys A,B,C and 2 girls D,E. D always sit right to A.girls never sit in extreme positions and in the middle position. C always sits in the extreme positions. who is sitting immediate right to E? Solution: ADBEC right of e is c Now come to interview part: Technical Interview: Only thing you need to keep in mind while interviewing is you should be confident while replying. And English is must. Ok so as I am a Electronics student Ill suggest some topics from which interviewer asks questions:

1. Digital electronics basic 2. Diodes basic 3. Terms like amplifier, IC, filter just their definition 4. C/C++ 5. Different between 8085 and 8086 6. Communication basics 7. 1G, 2G, 3G, GSM, CDMA etc just basics 8. OSI layer model 9. LAN, WAN, MAN 10. Router and Topologies, TCP/IP model. Be confident while replying and prepare technical well. Dont go in deep just take overview of all subjects. HR round: Then for HR interview you must prepare yourself well. Some key questions that are asked are: 1. Strengths, weakness, Ans: You should prepare your strengths and weakness a few days earlier from interview. And you should also make examples of your strengths and weakness. Like when you say you are a good learner then you should be capable of giving a relevanr real life example where you can say you was a good learner. 2. Hobbies Ans: Dont make fake hobbies. Always make real hobbies that you actually do in free time. Because they are going to ask a lot of questions from your hobbies part. Like my hobbies include Photography so they asked me which camera do you use, features of that camera, latest photo you shoot, what you do with the photos, etc. So be prepare. 3. Extra co-curricular activities Ans: Explain work you have done apart from your studies. 4. Tell me about yourself: Ans: Tell your whole Bio data and try to bring fluency while speaking about yourself. 5. What experience do you have in this field? 6. What do you know about this organization? Ans: This is most important part. You should search about TCS and know latest happenings, awards won by TCS and a little history of TCS. You can go to www.wikipedia.org for that information. 7. Are you a team player? 8. Why should we hire you? Ans: Here also you need to tell your strength. And how company is going to benefit from it. 9. What is your greatest strength? 10. Tell me about your dream job?

11. What is more important to you: the money or the work? 12. Are you willing to work overtime? Nights? Weekends? 13. Would you be willing to relocate if required? 14. Do you have any questions for TCS? Ans: This is also important to ask a question at last of the interview so prepare a question in your mind before going to interview. And never ask about Payscale, working hours and all these cheap thinkings that comes in your mind. You can go for socialism if you like social services. And many other questions are there. But what is more important is, to ask a question because that shows your interest in company. Last point Finally I would say that you should prepare yourself for HR interview few days earlier by having interviews with your friends and preparing for questions. Remember one thing friends dont create fake hobbies/strengths otherwise theyll caught you. Common yaar they are doing all India recruitment you cant lie with them. They have got experience in this interviewing field. Ok friends I think thats sufficient. Only thing that I would like to say is that: Sucess is the first thing that should always be in your mind Hope this file will help you Bye For any further query mail me [email protected] See you in TCS TCS came to our college (Technocrats Institute Of Technology, Bhopal) on 15th January and made the highest number of selection in the Madhya Pradesh region in this session with 173 selections from our college. There were only 3 rounds: 1) Written test 2) Technical round 3) HR round There were around 340 students who sat for the campus out of which 243 cleared the written and finally 173 were selected from the college. It was very easy exam as compared with other company written exams. Test contains 35 questions, only from quantitative, in 60 minutes. You can get through if you prepared with previous papers All patterns are same but with different values. Refer Freshersworld.com question papers.

I am giving the answers that are 100 % correct because we have researched a lot on the answers with friends and got the most correct answers after consulting the we and the yahoo groups. Written questions 1) (1/3) of a number is 3 more than the (1/6) of the same number? a) 6 b) 16 c) 18 d) 21 Ans- x/3=x/6 +3 ..solve ans is 18 2) There are two pipes A and B. If A filled 10 liters in an hour, B can fill 20 liters in same time. Likewise B can fill 10, 20, 40, 80, 160. If B filled in 1/16 of a tank in 3 hours, how much time will it take to fill the tank completely? a) 9 B) 8 c) 7 d) 6 This question repeated two times in my paper Ans: (b) these type of que are repeated frequently but the numeric values change.Simple approach is- count the number of hours taken to fill the part of the tank from the given part ie. Initially the tank is 1/32 then after 1 hour it will become 1/16 then 1/8 then then then 1. Here 1 is the state when the tank is full so the number of hours is (1+1+1+1+1)=5. Now add this number of hours to the given time ie 5+3=8 3) A lady has fine gloves and hats in her closet- 18 blue, 32 red, and 25 yellow. The lights are out and it is totally dark. In spite of the darkness, she can make out the difference between a hat and a glove. She takes out an item out of the closet only if she is sure that if it is a glove. How many gloves must she take out to make sure she has a pair of each color? a) 50 b) 8 c) 60 d) 42 Ans: Do not get trapped in these type of questions .a very simple trick to solve these type of question is just see the max and the middle value of gloves and hats ie 32 and 25 . just add max+min_values +2 or 1 or 3 ie 32+25+3=60 the answer will definitely fall in this range as 60 here 4) Middle- earth is a fictional land inhabited by hobbits, elves, dwarves and men. The hobbits and elves are peaceful creatures that prefer slow, silent lives and appreciate nature and art. The dwarves and the men engage in physical games. The game is as follows. A tournament is one where out of the two teams that play a match, the one that loses get eliminated. The matches are played in different rounds, where in every round; half of the teams get eliminated from the tournament. If there are 8 rounds played in knock out tournament, how many matches were played? a) 257 b) 256 c) 72 d) 255 Ans: (255) there are two varieties of this type of que in one they ask about the number of matches in the first round so solution to that is 2^(number of rounds)ie 2^8=256 another variety is the number of matches played in the tournament so ans is 2^(number of teams )-1 ..ie 2^8 -1=255 5) Ferrari S.P.A is an Italian sports car manufacturer based in Marane llo, Italy. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1928 as Scuderia Ferrari, the company sponsored drivers and manufactured race cars before moving into production of street-legal vehicles in 1947 as Ferrari S.P.A. Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued participation in racing, especially in Formula One where it has employed great success .Rohit once bought a Ferrari. It could go 4 times as fast as Mohan's old Mercedes. If the speed of Mohan's Mercedes is 46 km/hr and the distance traveled by the Ferrari is 953 km, find the total time taken for Rohit to drive that distance. a) 20.72 b) 5.18 c) 238.25 d) 6.18

Ans very simple question approach is time =dist./speed ie 953/(4*35)=6.18 6) how many 8 digit numbers are possible by using the digits 1,2,3,4,5 which are divisible by 4 if repetition of digits is allowed? Ans: (78125) simple trick to these type of que is that 5^(number of digits-1) ie 5^(8-1) i.e. 5^(7)=78125 By maths first 6 digits of the 8 digit number can be filled in by using any 5 digits given so it come out (5*5*5*5*5*5) and last two must be divisible by 4 ie (44,52,32,12,24) are the 5 possibilities. So the anwer is (5*5*5*5*5*5*5=5^7) 7) Hare in the other. The hare starts after the tortoise has covered 1/5 of its distance and that too leisurely3. A hare and a tortoise have a race along a circle of 100 yards diameter. The tortoise goes in one direction and the. The hare and tortoise meet when the hare has covered only 1/8 of the distance. By what factor should the hare increase its speed so as to tie the race? a) 37.80 b)8 c) 40 d) 5 Ans: 37.80 8) Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N=9+X+Y-Z Where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be a) 0 b) 27 c) 18 d) 20 Ans: Do not get trapped in this que i am giving a very short trick that guarantees 100% correct solution just add the following number if the que contains the following changes X*(Y-Z) then add 18 to the given constant to get N.ie 9+18=27 X+(Y-Z) = then add the 12 ie 9+11=20 X-(Y-Z) is then add 2 ie 9+2=11 9) For the FIFA world cup, Paul the octopus has been predicting the winner of each match with amazing success.

He bought 28 purple marbles as her wife was fond of marbles. He also bought 21greem marbles. While coming out of the shop on the way he also bought 24 red, 42 yellow and 12 pink marbles and he put them all in a bag. When he was returning back to the home a lightning occurred and suddenly due to some reasons the red, green, and yellow balls got converted into white color. But in spite of this Mr. Beans decided to give few marbles to his lovely wife. So, how many times he should put his hand in the bag so that he can gift his wife at least one ball of each color. Ans: logic is same as I told in the question 3 i.e 24+42+2=68 18) Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 50 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack.Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top coin (0 i 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold coinis the third coin from the top. Then a) In order to win, Alices first move should be a 0-move. b) In order to win, Alices first move should be a 1-move. c) Alice has no winning strategy. d) In order to win, Alices first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move Ans: (d) In this type of question if the coin is at the 3 position (as here )then the answer is d otherwise at the 1 or second position of the coin the answer is always. No chance of winning ie C

19) There is a planet oz . The people there are four fingered and reside in 4 dimensional space and thus the currency used by its residents are 3 dimensional objects. The rupees notes are cubical in shape while their coins are spherical. However the coin minting machinery lays out some stipulations on the size of the coins. The diameter of the coins should be at least 16mm and not exceed 64mm Given a coin, the diameter of the next larger coin is at least 50% greater. The diameter of the coin must always be an integer. You are asked to design a set of coins of different diameters with these requirements and your goal is to design as many coins as possible. How many coins can you design? Ans: 4 At least 16 coins so the series is 16, (16+16/2)= 24 , (24+24/2)=36, (36+36/2)=54. Now next value of coin exceeds 64 so the number of coins is 4 20) 21 people meet and shake hands.

So be accurate and score high, as the questions are easy. Technical interview: Our interview was in the university campus, in Bhopal itself. I reached the campus around 3 pm. We were given a form from the TCS that contained our basic details from our name to the project and all. Finally our technical started at 7 in the evening .there were around 9 panels in the conference hall taking the technical interviews I had to wait for a long time and my technical started at around 10 pm in the night. My TR was more of HR than the technical one. Luckily my TR came out to be from my city itself God favored and the luck! Questions asked from me were: Me: Good evening, sir TR: Good evening, take your seat. TR: How was your day. You must have waited for a long time Me: I had a great day, this morning I took my written test and, gave my best. I think have scored well and cleared it. It is my first interview so I liked waiting for a long time because I was waiting anxiously for this time. TR: Ok, Abhinav tell me why have you written basics of C++, C and java in your resume Me: sir. I had studied C++ and c in the class 12 as it was in my syllabus so I had acquired basic knowledge of that and recently I have studied java and the other modules are yet to finish so I have written basic word. But sir I have done a project in java recently and did well in it.

TR: looking at my project in the resume, of tell me something about your project Me: I was waiting eagerly for this question, that Is why I said I made a project in Java. I told about my project Bhopal road transport enquiry system everything in deep. TR was impressed. TR: Ok, you have written you gave paper presentation on surface computer. Tell me about it Me: I was prepared for this. I told all that I had prepared TR: Ok, tell me Abhinav, where do you belong to natively Me: Told TR: Then why you chose to study in Bhopal Me: I told that I had taken a year drop and prepared for the competitive exams and I got good college like TIT in Bhopal so I opted for this. He was satisfied TR: Where are you from basically Me: I told Kanpur TR: He asked me about a location from Kanpur that how far was it. I was surprised how come he knows about all in Kanpur. I replied easily TR: Tell me about batch Me: I said that sir I had heard about batch but not had full information about it so cant answer it. I said sorry sir TR: He says but you have written OS as technical skill in Your subject. Didn't you know batch processing Me: I said sorry sir TR: Then he a asked about deadlock Me: I replied all I knew about deadlock. He was satisfied TR: what is merge sort explain Me: I explained d but I told incorrectly initially then I corrected my answer by this permission TR: Ok can you write a program in Java for me. He asked me to print prime numbers between 1 to 100 Me: I gave the logic and wrote the program TR: You have drawing and sketching as your hobby, can you draw my sketch Me: I was prepared for this I said yes sir but I will take 1 or 2 hours time and you have it sit still for that period he smiled and said leave it Finally he said ok you can go now Me: But I had a question in my mind I told that I wanted to ask a question. He said yes you can I asked about his introduction

He said that he belongs to Kanpur. He keeps on visiting there often but, he is basically from Lucknow. I had a smile on the face. Then he shook hands with me I returned with smile confident that my TR will easily promote me. HR round: It's very easy round and less elimination round. In this round they ask simple questions and give a situations and observe ur feelings. So be confident in this round. If you cleared this round then you are almost placed. I was called for my HR at 2:00 am in the morning . My HR had the last resume of mine for the day He was siting tired. Me: Good evening sir HR: Good evening. Are you tired of waiting. Have you had your dinner Me: no sir I am not feeling tired but energetic because I have been promoted to my last round of the interviews. I said I had my dinner HR: What did you have in the dinner? Was it sufficient? Me: Told what all the lunch packet was provided by out college and that amount each dish had HR: Ok tell me about you family? Me: I told all HR: Tell me why you want you choose a private sector than a government sector Me: I told HR: Tell me about you project? Me: I explained d all I was already waiting for this question HR: Ok you have drawing and sketching as your hobby, can you draw my sketch. Me: I was prepared for this I said yes sir but I will take 1 or 2 hours time and you have it sit still for that period. He smiled why not in 10-15 minutes. Me: I said sir it will be just a rough sketch not an accurate on. He smiled and said do you have any of your sketched in your folder. Me: I said no sir but I have several certificates I got during college and school days HR: Are you comfortable to be relocated. Bond with TCS Me: I said yes with suitable reason that I had inters in travelling to new place d as I mentioned d it in resume and I am sociable as my strength is that so I m comfortable HR: Ok thank you do you have any questions to ask Me: I asked about his introduction and the skill I needed to develop till I join TCS. Finally I left and returned home at 3 :00 am in the morning in the chilling cold. And had a sigh of relief.
