Q4. 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 Q5. Here 10 programers, type 10 lines with in 10 minutes then 60lines can type within 60 minutes. How many programmers are needed? a) 16 b) 6 c) 10 d) 60 Ans: 10 This type of Q's repeated 4times for me but values are different. Q6. 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 The Q's concept is same but the equation of N's is changing. Q7. 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. Then a) In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move. b) In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 0-move. c) In order to win, Alice's first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move. d) Alice has no winning strategy. Ans: d Q8. 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? a)1/9 b)4/9 Ans: 5/9 c)5/9 d)2/3

Q9. 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 a)12 b)11 Ans: 18 c)13 d)18

You can contact me for any assistance. I will be pleased to help you. My Experience: From my childhood I have believed one proverb HARDWORK NEVER GOES UNREWARDED. Thats the secret of my success. Friends dont loose hope until u get selected. Before TCS I attained almost 9-10 companies but I was deducted from final round. It was my bad luck that I was deducted from final round but I never loosed hope and concentrated on studies how to make the next one more successful. I was in search of a company that will give me 100% job satisfaction. Finally I found TCS as my destination. Test location: Techno India Campus, Salt Lake, Kolkatta Test Date: 1st Nov, 2010 Around 1000 students attained the TCS drive in different batches. The first batch started at 9 am. I attained the drive at 2 pm. It was 4th batch. I attained 27 questions. From my batch only 3 candidates out of 200 were selected. I was one of them. From 1000 students only 26 students qualified the written test. Campus Type:- off-campus It's the new pattern, contain 35 questions. In this drive cut-off mark varied according to our batch .in my batch cut off was around 22. In some other batches cut off was around 17 also. Actually Target of TCS is to retrieve best students from each batch. 1/3 negative marks there. So answer only the correct answer. Dont do guess, it's interesting paper. I like to solve it, i think real talent will be selected now, it's suitable for good student. This time most of the questions were changed but concept was same as it was before. If you will refer fresherworld.com questions it will definitely help you. Details of the Process: It's the new pattern, contain 35 questions. Cut off near about 18. 1/3 negative marks there. So answer only the correct answer. Dont do guess, it's interesting paper. I like to solve it, i think real talent will be selected now, it's suitable for good student. Some questions that remembered. 1) Horse started to chase dog as it relieved stable two hours ago. And horse started to ran with average speed 22km/hour, horse crossed 10 mts road and two small pounds with depth 3m, and it crossed two small street with 200 mts length. After travelling 6 hrs, 2 hours after sunset it got dog. Compute the speed of dog?

Ans: As we have speed and travel time of horse, we can get distance travelled by it. Hence d = 22*6 = 132km, Exactly this 132km was travelled by dog in 8 hours (as it started two hours earlier). Hence speed of dog = 132/8 = 16.5km/hr Ans: 16.5km/hr. 2) (There was a long story, I'll cut short it). 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's 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 3) John buys a cycle for 31 dollars and given a cheque of amount 35 dollars.

Test Paper :5 Paper Type : Candidate Experiences Test Date : 22 August 2010 Test Location : SJBIT College, Bangalore Posted By : Sunil Yadav
Hi, I am Sunil Yadav, i have done my B.Tech (2006-10) in ECE discipline from BSAITM, Faridabad. Our college is not so much good in terms of placement so most of students could not get any job from college and i was 1 of them. So I decided 2 go to Bangalore. I got my TCS hall ticket on 14th of August and on 18th August, I reached Bangalore. There was TCS off-campus in SJBIT college on 22nd August 2010.

I attended 5 companies up to now. TCS was my 6th company but I didnt loose hope. If you have failed yet, dont get disappointed. Losers got a chance to correct their mistakes and winners lost their chance to correct their mistakes. If you are selected, remember, you are better than those who are participated for that interview, but not the Best. I got selected in off-campus, I am very happy for that. Because, i completed with the other college students also. But those who got selected in On-campus are completed with the students of their college. Getting job in TCS is one of my great achievements in my life. So do your home work well and keep faith in GOD. All the best!

Test Paper :7 Paper Type : Candidate Experiences Test Date : 29 August 2010 Test Location : SRMCEM, Lucknow Posted By : Richa
I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM, Lucknow on 29th August at 8am. There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morning batch. It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes. We were to attempt 35 questions. The questions were based on logics; some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical. IMPORTANT: I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently and also read it on www.freshersworld.com regarding the experience of other candidates. Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round, then you must attempt somewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through. But this is not the case. What I figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy. I attempted just 16 questions and still made it through, because all 16 questions I answered were correct. I made no guess. Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting 16 questions and all of them were right. There were a few of my friends who attempted 17 question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses. They couldn't make through the written round. There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and all right, and he also made it through. So, all I could make out was that TCS is selecting candidates on 100% accuracy; ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you should answer. Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making through, so I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35. Please do not guess or do not attempt if you are not sure about your answer.

The computer based test had questions from: Area and Perimeter, Probability (Many questions from this chapter). Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter). Pipes and Cisterns, Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements. I remember one question where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end after 5-6 lines, they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul. I'd rather suggest everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data. I don't remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical value). I'll share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the question asked for. Question 1: There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds. It makes 2 musical sounds after being defective. What is the probability that same musical sound would be produced 5 times consecutively? ( 1 of ) Answer: 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/32 32 will be the answer. (My friends got similar question with "3 times consecutively"; for that the answer would be 8) Question 2: Peter and Paul are two friends. The sum of their ages is 35 years. Peter is twice as old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now. What is the present age of Peter? Luckily, I had this question twice. Initially I left it because of the confusing statement but when I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it. Answer: 20 years. I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fit, because the statement in the question was pretty confusing. Question 3: The ages of two friends is in the ratio 5:6. After how many years will the ages be in the ratio 7:8? Answer: 10 years. Question 4: (There was a long story, I'll cut short it). There are 5 materials to make a perfume: Lilac, Balsalmic, Lemon, Woody and Mimosaic. To make a perfume that is in demand the following conditions are to be followed: Lilac and Balsalmic go together. Woody and Mimosaic go together, Woody and Balsalmic 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's not needed for the question.) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT: 1) Balsalmic and Lilac 2) Woody and Lemon 3) Mimosaic and Woody 4) Mimosaic and Lilac Answer: Mimosaic and Lilac. I have made the question here really easy to understand. But the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer. It took me some time to get to the answer. Question 5: A girl has to make pizza with different toppings. There are 8 different toppings. In how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings. Answer: 8 * 7 = 56 Question 6: A triangle is made from a rope. The sides of the triangle are A cm, B cm and C cm. (I do not remember the numerical value). What will be the area of the square made from the same rope? Question 7: What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equation ax+by+cz+d=0. (I do not remember the values of a,b,c,d)

Question 8: An athlete decides to run the same distance in 1/4th less time that she usually took. By how much percent will she have to increase her average speed? Answer: 33.33% Question 9: A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs. Horse takes 4 hours to reach the pony. If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph, what s the average speed of the pony? (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement) These are a few questions that I could recall. I made through the aptitude round by attempting 16 questions. Next was Technical Interview Round. Technical Interview: Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions asked to my friends. Question 1: Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]. Question 2: i = 5 i++, ++i, --i, i--, 5 What will be the output if it is printed? Question 3: How will you insert a new node between any two nodes in a linked list? Write the code. Question 4: How will you find a particular data in the linked list? Question 5: What is MD5? Question 6: What is RSA? Explain its principle. Question 7: There is a triangle and 3 ants on each vertex of the triangle. The 3 ants start to move randomly along the edges of the triangle. What is the probability that two ants will collide? Question 8: What is the difference between C and C++? Question 9: What do you mean by polymorphism? Question 10: Give an example of polymorphism with code. Question 11: What do you mean by OOP? Question 12: What is inheritance? Question 13: What is a friend function? Question 14: What is an abstract class? Question 15: Suppose there is a number 235 such that sum of first two digits is equal to the third digit. How many such 3 digits number are possible? Question 16: Why is the VIRTUAL keyword used in C++? Question 17: Which keyword is written to use a variable declared in one class in the other class? Question 18: Suppose a code is written in C and you want to use that code in C++. How can you do that? Question 19 What do you mean by DML? Question 20: Is there any language other than SQL where DML is used? If yes, then which? Question 21: How many normal forms do we have? Question 22: Here is a tic-tac-toe game which is being played by 2 people: xo_

o__ xox Represent the blank spaces. Who played the last chance (x or o)? Technical Questions asked to my friends: Question 1: What is a transaction? Properties of Transaction? Question 2: What "condition" will be written in the if statement such that both Hello World are printed when the following code is executed. if(condition) { printf("Hello"); } else { printf("World"); } Question 3: What will be the output of the following code? int i=5; printf("%d, %d, %d", i++, i, ++i); Which C compiler do you use? (My friend said TURBO) What will be the output of above code in TURBO compiler? (He said same) No! It will not be the same. After the Technical round, there was an MR i.e. Managerial Round. It was just a 2-3 minutes round. The interviewer asked me to introduce myself. Then asked about my father. Then core values and strengths. Your hobbies? Which latest novel have you read? Next was the HR round. This was a little time taking round as the technical one. Question 1: Introduce yourself? Question 2: Your family background; father, mother, siblings. Question 3: How does TCS earns its revenues? How it does its business? Question 4: What was the need of bringing Information Technology in India? Question 5: There is a round cake. You have 3 chances to cut the cake. Divide the cake into 8 pieces in these 3 chances. Question 6: Suppose if I reject you today, what will you do next? Question 7: You have a good communication skill. Why is it so? Is it because of your schooling or family atmosphere? Whom do you give the credit for this? Question 8: What are your strengths? Give 2 examples of your life incidents that portray this strength in you. Question 9: What are your weaknesses? This was it. Out of some 250-300 candidates, only 10 could make it till the HR round and I'm glad to be one of them. They have asked us to wait for 2 weeks for the mail. I'm waiting for my email. Wish all you guys a very good luck!
