1) you should learn pointers(they may ask in i.w)

2)****should learn c++(this is very very imp,based on this only i got job.one more thing is class,inheratenci&polymorphism is sufficient)

3)you should prepare one fem project and tell them that as your own work(this will increase chance to 99%)

(ans is c1)

12)frontal theory is applied for
(please refer any fem book)

13)mindlins theory is applied for
c) this is the answer(both co&c1problems)

14)x=sigmani*xi,u=sigmani*ui which type of element
(refer book)

15)beam subjected to udl find the moments at the 
2 nodes

16)integral b(transpose)*sigma(here sigma means stress)*dv  represents?
(ans is internal load vector)

17)integral et(epsiolan transpose)*sigma*dv
p=strain displacement vector
q=stress-strain deformation
find [k]
(ans [k]=[p]t(p transpose)*[q]*[p] )

18)
19)

remember order may not be correct

aptitude test 

1)33 1/3 of 101 + 296 is

ring 10 o'clock.
(ans 10.5 sec)

8)one watch is showing 30 past 3 .what is the angle between minutes &
hours hand?
(ans 75 degrees)

9)the average of 4 consecutive even numbers is 27. what is the largest
number?
(ans 30)

10) 25 stations ,24 stations are inbetween- - - - - how many tickets should be required.
(ans 25*24=600)puzzles to puzzle you "s.devi"prob 24

11)one ball was dropped from 8ft height and every time it goes half of the height. how much distance it will travell before coming to 
rest. (ans 24 approximately)

12)two trains are travelline at equilateral .train a is travelling in the direction of earths spin.other train b is travelling in
opposite direction of earths spin.which trains wheels will wear first?and why? (ans train b .because of less centrifugal force.)




c questions:

what is the out put for following programms
1)main()
{
char a[2];
*a[0]=7;
*a[1]=5;
printf("%d",&a[1]-a)
ans:
ans may be 1.(illegal initialization)

2)
#include<stdio.h>
main(){
char a[]="hellow";
char *b="hellow";
char c[5]="hellow";
printf("%s %s %s ",a,b,c);
printf(" ",sizeof(a),sizeof(b),sizeof(c));
}
(ans is hellow,hellow,hellow
6,2,5 )

3)
#include<stdio.h>
main()

float value=10.00;
printf("%g %0.2g %0.4g %f",value,value,value,value)
}
(ans is 10,10,10,10.000000)

4)
#include<stdio.h>
void function1;
int i-value=100;
main()
{
i-value=50;
function1;
printf("i-value in the function=",i-value);
printf("i-value after the function=",i-value);
}
printf("i-value at the end of main=",i-value);
functioni()
i-value=25;


this is rough idea of the program
ans are
1)i-value in the function=25;
2)i-value after the function=50;
3)i-value at the end of the main=100;

5)
main()
{
funct(int n);
{
switch(n)
case1:
m=2;
break;
case2:
m=5;
break;
case3:
m=7;
break;
default: 
m=0;
}
this is rough idea:
(ans:out put is m=0)
