   for me many repeated questions came.. some  of my friends got very new questions oly few repeated


The questions i have  remembered are...
                               
(1)Units of basic quantities:
       a.(energy * time * time) / (mass *  dist)= distance
       b.(momentum * velocity) / (force *  time) = velocity
(Momentum*Velocity)/(Acceleration  * distance ) find units. ans mass

       
(2)@@+25-++@16, where @ denotes  square and + denotes square root.  ans=621

   
(3)A=11010101
 b=10101010
 c=10001001
 find the decimal value of (AU(b-c))
 
   
(4)if M=mod, R=round,  T=truncate  then find the value of
 M(463,5)+R(3.3)+T(7.9)+R(5.7) ANS:19
                                           
(5)find the singular matrix??  There  will be 4 options.. of 2x2 matrix.. to find singular matrix just find the  determinant value. If the value is zero that will be the singular matrix.. easy  one..

(6)Pick out the ODD ones:
 a. HTTP   b. ARP  c. SNMP  d. SAP     ANS:SAP
 a. linux   b. windows NT  c. sql server  d. unix    ANS: SQL server

                           
(7)194 base 10= ____ base 5   ANS: 1234  
                  Or it may ask like
In which  of the number system, decimal number 184 is equal to 1234…..               ANS: 5

                   
(8)Venn Diagram kind of questins.
  Some know English, some French, some  german.. how many know two languages..    easy one..

               
(9)Code interchanging, a word is  given if the letters are reversed find the nth letter from right to legt..
  The word like
Eg:  DESTABILIZATION        ANS: T
           
(10)Which is a/not a power of 2 or 3.
    Power of 4 Ans-4096

   
(11)A man, a woman, and a child can do a piece of work in 6 days. Man only  can do it in 24 days. Woman can do it in 16 days and in how many days child can  do the same work? Ans 16
       
(12)A is twice efficient than B. A and B can both work together to  complete a work in 7 days. Then find in how many days A alone can complete the  work? 10.5
       
(13)My flight takes of at 2am from a  place at 18N 10E and landed 10 Hrs later at a place with coordinates 36N70W. What  is the local time when my plane landed?
 6:00 am b) 6:40am c) 7:40 d) 7:00 e) 8:00
 Sol) The destination place is 80 degree west to the  starting place. Hence the time difference between these two places is 5 hour 20  min. (=24hr*80/360).
 When the flight landed, the time at the starting place is 12 noon (2 AM + 10  hours).
 Hence, the time at the destination place is 12 noon - 5:20 hours = 6: 40 AM
 
       
(14)Three companies are working  independently and receiving the savings 20%, 30%, 40%. If the companies work  combinely, what will be their net savings?
 suppose total income is 100
 so amount x is getting is 80
 y is 70
 z =60
 total=210
 
 but total money is 300
 300-210=90
 so they are getting 90 rs less
 90 is 30% of 300 so they r getting 30% discount

(15)If G(0) = -1 G(1)= 1 and  G(N)=G(N-1) - G(N-2) then what is the value of G(6)?
 ans: -1
 bcoz g(2)=g(1)-g(0)=1+1=2
 g(3)=1
 g(4)=-1
 g(5)=-2
 g(6)=-1
       
(16) If VXUPLVH is written as SURMISE,  what is SHDVD?
       
(17) I lost Rs.58 in two races. My  second race loss is Rs.5 more than the first race. My friend lost Rs.3 more  than me in the second race. What is the amount lost by my friend in the second  race?
       
(18) Match the following:
 a. Brake CAR     -> a type of
 b mother women -> a superset of
 c. Ceagle  DOG  -> A part of
 d.mushroom  vegetable  -> Not a
 very easy
 

  sorry others I forgot..
       
U may get dummy questions.. pl don’t attend  that.. for a question if there is no answer In any of the option.. leave that  question if ur  fully confident in that.. I got 3 dummy questions.. I left  those questions..
       
      If u don’t know the logic of a  particular question don’t leave those questions.. attend those.. it may be  correct by ur  guess..
 
               
3) Critical reasoning
Concentrate  on GRE barrons 12 edition’s model test papers..
   I got one para as it is frm gre barrons..  see all the analytical sections in each model test.. mug it up..  may get one atleast..
       
   Other 2 paras are general.. one is blood  relation para.. have a good knowledge in solving those.. practice.. know the  relations like.. nephew, niece.. etc..   draw a relation tree starting frm grand father to grand son.. it will be  easy to answer the given questions..
       Time management is very important in  any Online test.. always have the habit of finishing 10 min before.. don’t urge  urself and finish it soon..  I got selected in 1st round.. The next  day on 19.6.07 Tuesday..          
TECH  interview…
       
Tell abt urself..
   
He asked  general questions like.. wats the difference b/w C and C++
   
He asked  what is a functions, arrays, structures.. then asked me to write the syntax of  a structure..
       
Then he asked about data structures.. asked  about difference b/w linked list and queue..
       
He asked  about pointers.. asked me to write a small logic in pointers.. prepare well in  pointer side..
       
Then he  concentrated on my resume.. asked about my project.. if u had done any project  and u specified in ur resume means.. have a good knowledge about your project..
       
I told  lots of matter from my project that took too much time for me..
       
Since we used  Web sphere, Eclipse, DB2 and JSP technology in our team project.. the HR person  asked about these technologies which he don’t know..
   
              I am very comfortable to answer  the single HR person..
       
  It was  so easy for me to add many points and I was so confident..
           
That’s it… After 2 minutes they called me for the  HR interview..

HR interview
       
Here  also.. Tell about yourself…
       
He asked  about my achievements in college..
       
Here too they  asked OOP concepts.. inheritance encapsulation etc..
       
About polymorphism etc..
       
He  questioned about my percentage deviation by comparing 12th mark with  my BE percentage..
           
I answered him..  I involved in many extracurricular activities
then  he asked about my extracurricular activities.. my hobbies..
       
Here too the HR person questioned about my  project.. since I am very confident I told every thing about the project..
       
He asked what makes u different from others..  why should I select u…  
       
He asked  r u comfortable to go anywhere..

The tech  HR gone for approx 30 min and HR interview gone for 25 min..

Be bold  in answering the HR panel.. relax ur self before attending the interview don’t  be tensed
   
 Now I am a part of TCS..
