Placement Papers - TCS

Hello friends, I attended the interview of TCS. I will share you that experience. The first day, it was Written test in which there was only aptitude question. Some of them were very easy but having a lot of theory and we need to indentify the main question . There were 35 quetion having 80 minutes. Time was there but according to question level time was less.

Aptitude Question were like:

1. 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

2. 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)

3. . 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 colour of the bear? I think ans is white.

4. 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 said" that B &  C said to  A that” B said “yesterday way one of the days when I lies",C said that "yesterday way one of the days when I lies too". then which day was that?

SO the Heart beats were too fast, I couldn't sleep that night. I was worried. My HR was so nice that I was sure that I would be selected in TCS. MY HR round was too better that technical.

Next day the list was dispayed and U know My namewas not there.

So have a look to the luck
The round which was not so good, that was cleared. and the round which was too nice , was not cleared.

Today it is 27 June 2011.
I attended the written , interview for many companies, but yet I am not placed. Hope so that I may be placed in any company.
But U never loose ur confidence . It is really needed in ur interview and yeah the luck also.....
