2.quant
3.critical
u can switch 2 any q within the same section but not 2 other section n u can change the answer if needed.
VERBAL:-
It consisted of 10 synonyms, 10 antonyms, 6 RCs n 6 sentence completion. total time 4 verbal was 20 minutes.only three words were known 2 me n also i couldn\'t even read all rcs n sentence completion. no time.
QUANT:-
This section was very easiest one. all questions were 4m previous papers. 32 questions in 40 minutes.
1. If A, B and C are the mechanisms used separately to reduce the wastage of fuel by 30%, 20% and 10%. What will be the fuel economy if they were used combined. Ans 49.6%
2. some coding question.i dont remember the words.
3. first n second, 3rd n 4th ,.... letters of some word are interchanged then what is the 10th letter 4m right? something of this kind.
4. A power unit is there by the bank of the river of 900 meters width. A cable is made from power unit to power a plant opposite to that of the river and 3000mts away from the power unit. The cost of the cable below water is Rs. 15/- per meter and cost of cable on the bank is Rs.12/- per meter. find the distance 4m something 2 something point. ans.2100(3000-900)
5. vertices edges and surfaces of a cube Ans-8,12,6
6. one graph was given n question was what is that graph.ans.logx.
7.latitutes n longitudes of 2 places were given. time of travel n time of start was given n the local time when destination is reached is asked.
8.some data(in bytes) is transferred over a channel at a speed of something.... what would be the speed if N kb ..... all the answers were in terms of N like 0.001N, 0.01N,1.010N,0.111N of that kind. i dint understand that question.
9.largest prime no that can fit in 6-bit memory.ans.61
10.Match the following.
1. brother - sister ---> a. Part of

4. car - steering ---> d. Not a type of
Ans. 1-b, 2-c, 3-a, 4-d

13.related to memory address.. starting address something was given of a some 2d array. each cell of 4 bytes. then what is the end address of some cell.note:here i was asked end address n some were asked start address of some cell.

18.What is the power of 2? a. 2068 b.2048 c.2668 Ans:2048
19.one expression was given consisting of modulus,truncation,roundoff.evaluate it.
20.G(0)= -1, G(1)=1, G(N)=G(N-1) + G(N-2), G(6)= ? ans.3
21. SERIES: 2,7,24,77,? ans.238
7=(2*3)+1;24=(7*3)+3;77=(24*3)+5;so next term is (77*3)+7

7.MS/Mtech?
8.y software?
9.if u wont get in tcs...? i said i vll try 4 the next company.he said so u wont wait for tcs again?i said no.....
10.how much confident u r that u vll get in tcs? i said 90%. he said y not 100%.no one is saying 100% n all the students before u said 80%.i said that i am 100% sure but if at all by chance something unfavourable happens i vll b depressed.so i am grading myself 2 90%.
