TCS PAPER ON 14TH JULY,2008

Hi everyone….. This is AKSHATHA A RAO (INSTUMENTATION TECH) from MALNAD COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING HASSAN….. TCS came to our place on 14TH JULY 2008…. Here are some questions which I got for the TCS campus selection….


It consists of three sections…
a) verbal
b) aptitude &
c) critical reasoning

VERBAL SECTION
Verbal sctionHuh… Its dam dam boring part…. Most are from GRE 12TH EDITION but it’s of no use if you go thro each n every… jus take a look from previous papers its more than enough...”LUCK REALLY MATTERS” in this section. Again the verbal section is grouped in to four
a) Synonyms
b) Antonyms
c) Sentence completion questions
d) Passage                                                                                         

SYNONYMS                                                                                           
some of which I got are as follows
FUROR- EXCITEMENT
GALLEON-SHIP
GADFLY-NUISANCE
GARNER-COLLECT
ASTUTE-CLEVER
AVARICE-GREED
PILLAGE-PLUNDER
BILK-CHEAT
DEVOUT-PIOUS
LISTLESS-LACK OF ENERGY
ANTONYMS

I hardly knew 3 to 4 in this section and remaining I followed fluke method
TESTY-EVEN TEMPERED
NEFARIOUS-EXEMPLARY            
PREVARICATE-TRUTHFULLY
MEALYMOUTHED-SINCERE

Other quest’s I do not remember
sentence completion-Refer any old quest paper that’s more than enough
passage -Refer BARRON’S 12th edition

apitude section
1)Fill the missing number in the sequence 17 16 13 12 10 -8 7  ans(9)  sub -4 -3 -2 from series
2)If TIFMUFS is coded as SHELTER then NJOE can be coded as  ans(MIND)
3)Letter exchange quest as same as previous
4)632 in base 6
5)Largest prime number in an 9 bit word ans(2^9=512 so prime num s 509)
6)If n=10*18*38 find the num which s not an integer ans(n/78)
7)Power of 2 a)4148 b)4048 c)4876 d)4096 ans (4096)
8)Pick odd one out a)SMTP b) http c)wap d)baan ans(baan)
9)Same…  a)(50, 51, 79) b) (30,40,50),c)( 73, 67,40) d)( 100,60,20) [ ans adding every num and the sum equal to 180] find which is        not a proper triangle
10)Same…. [ans a cube will b having 12 edges 6 faces and 8 vertices] Finding the correct planar cube
11)Finding set of data which exhibits std deviation
12)Venn dia prob (same)
13)Bar graph (same)
14)A does half as much work as B in three fourth of the time. If together they take 18 days to complete the work, how many days will B       take to do it
      [Ans 1\x+2\3x=1\18 and solving x=30]
15)Which of these matrices is singular [ans any two matrices product equal to zero]
16)Match the following     
       male boy               ans- superset of
       Oven-building       ans-not a type of
       Beagle-cat            ans-type of
       Oxygen -water      ans-part of     
17)If * stands for squaring and > stands for change of sign what is the value of *>*(3) ->*> (3)
       [ans 81+9=90]
18)A sequence is given by f (0) =1 and f (n) = f (n-1)* n^2 then f (4) =?
      [Ans 576]
19)Curve that best suits
      [ans y=log 10x]
18)A two dimensional array x (7, 9) is stored in row wise. Each element requires 2 bytes for storage of this value. If 1st byte address of x      (1,1) is 3000 then address of x (2,3) is
      [ ans 2*[9(2-1)+(3-1)]=3022 and ans+1=3023]
19)Of the four vertices a,b,c,d find out the orthogonal pair
20)Evaluate the expression M( 735,11)+R( 3.4)+T( 7.7)-R( 5.8)=735\11+3+7-6=13
      [ans=13]
21)Three independent machines A, B, C have been incorporated for power saving in a plant producing resp 40% 20% 10% efficiency.        Assuming that they operate independently, what is the net power efficiency achieved?
     [ans 100-40%=60% , 100-20%=80% , 100-10%= 90% so {60\100* 80\100 * 90\100}*100=43.2 and 100-43.2=56.8%]
22)Equation that bests describes the curve
     [ans y=log10x]
23)Temperature problem I.e. b\w 3.00PM and 9.00PM [ans substituting 3 and 9 in the given equation and finding the diff b\w higher value and lower value and finally resultant\higher value *100]
24)An aircraft takes off from A (89N lat, 60E long) at 2.00AM to B (32N lat, 60W long). If the flying time is 9 hours what is the local time of landing at B [ans adding 60E and 60W =  120 and 120*4=480 and 480\ 60=8hours and adding the data given in the problem i.e. 2+9=11hrs  and sub 8hrs frm 11hrs=3.00AM]
25)The size of the bucket is given by the function p( n)=4000 where n is the vol of water. Find the % change in size of bucket if vol of water is increased by 1% [ans sqrt (101)=0.5%]
26)Cable problem [ans its normally given data’s diff]
27)A file is transferred from 1 loc to other. The size is 10 kilo bytes. [ans sol is just adding the data’s and the same problem in all the papers and the ans is 10.011N]
28)Final problem is filling the last row and the procedure is just find the 2’s complement and getting the diff

part three…………. [critical reasoning]
This is the most difficult part…………………… All say to refer Barrons 12th edition……………I had practiced a lot for this sec and I didn’t get any quest’s from BARRONS but I managed somehow and got through………I got thro appt and as well as the tech round….Now I am one among the TCS family………. ALL THE VERY BEST…………………………………
