Online written test was conducted. Totally 35 questions which were purely quantitative aptitude and duration was 75 mins. There was a negative marking of 0.33. There were no questions from Verbal, Reasoning and Technical. For quantitative R.S.Aggarwal is enough. Itâs better to go through the previous papers of TCS. You may get some what similar models. It will be very very useful. These were the following questions which I remember
1) There are some 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers parked (some nonsense) total number of wheels present is 240 then how many 4 wheelers were there. (Numbers may change)
Ans: This can be done by looking at the option first check the no of bicycles and then multiply it by 2. And then substract the multiplication value from 240 if the value is divided by 4 then that is the answer 2B(Bicycle)+4C(CAR)=240.
2) 1/3 of a number is 6 more than 1/6 of that number then what is the number.
Ans: You can solve easily
3) Questions on Time and distance like At A side 10 men, 10 line code, 10 mins. At B side 10 men, 20 mins. How many line of code is needed (3 Questions) V.V. IMP
