Hi Friends,
I'll post some of the questions i got in exam.
1. The IT giant Tirnop has recently crossed a head count of 150000 and earnings of $7 billion. As one of the forerunners in the technology front, Tirnop continues to lead the way in products and services in India. At Tirnop, all programmers are equal in every respect. They receive identical salaries and also write code at the same rate.Suppose 12 such programmers take 12 minutes to write 12 lines of code in total. How long will it take 72 programmers to write 72 lines of code in total?
( I got this ques 3 times with values changed)
2. Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 24 + X + Y â Z ,where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9),Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be(i got this ques 2 times with equations changed)
Ans: 35
3. A sheet of paper has statements numbered from 1 to 40. For each value of n from 1 to 40, statement n says "At least n of the statements on this sheet are true." Which statements are true and which are false?

b) The odd numbered statements are true the even numbered are false
c) All statements are true
d) The even numbered statements are true and the odd numbered are false

5. A result of global warming is that the ice of some glaciers is melting. Twelve years after the ice disappears tiny plants, called lichens, start to grow on the rocks. Each lichens grows approximately in the shape of a circle. The relationship between the diameter of this circle and the age of the lichen can be approximated with the formula
6. A circular dartboard of radius 1 foot is at a distance of 20 feet from you. You throw a dart at it and it hits the dartboard at some point Q in the circle. What is the probability that Q is closer to the center of the circle than the periphery?

8. Alok is attending a workshop "How to do more with less" and today's theme is Working with fewer digits . The speakers discuss how a lot of miraculous mathematics can be achieved if mankind (as well as womankind) had only worked with fewer digits. The problem posed at the end of the workshop is How many 5 digit numbers can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (but with repetition) that are divisible by 4? Can you help Alok find the answer?
a) 375 b) 625 c) 500 d) 3125

a) 1 b) 0 c) 4 d) 2
8. The pacelength P is the distance between the rear of two consecutive footprints. For men, the formula, n/P = 144 gives an approximate relationship between n and P where, n = number of steps per minute and P = pacelength in meters. Bernard knows his pacelength is 111cm. The formula applies to Bernardâs walking. Calculate Bernardâs walking speed kmph.
9. Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 50 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack.Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top coin (0 ≤ i ≤ 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold coinis the third coin from the top. Then
a) In order to win, Aliceâs first move should be a 0-move.
b) In order to win, Aliceâs first move should be a 1-move.
c) Alice has no winning strategy.
d) In order to win, Aliceâs first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move
10. For the FIFA world cup, Paul the octopus has been predicting the winner of each match with amazing success. It is rumored that in a match between 2 teams A and B, Paul picks A with the same probability as A's chances of winning. Let's assume such rumors to be true and that in a match between Ghana and Bolivia, Ghana the stronger team has a probability of 2/3 of winning the game. What is the probability that Paul will correctly pick the winner of the Ghana-Bolivia game?
a) 5/9
b) 1/9
c) 2/3
d) 1/3 (For this question they changed the values)

12. One the Planet, Oz, there are 8 days in a week â Sunday to Saturday and another day called Oz day. There are 36 hours in a day and each hours has 90 min while each minute has 60 sec. As on earth, hour hand covers the dial twice every day. Find the approximate angle between the hands of clock on Oz when time is 15.40 am?
13. Planet fourfi resides in 4 â dimensional space and thus the currency used by its residents are 3 â dimensional objects. The rupees notes are cubical in shape while their coins are spherical. However the coin minting machinery lays out some stipulations on the size of the coins.
The diameter of the coins should be at least 16mm and not exceed 64mm
Given a coin, the diameter of the next larger coin is at least 50% greater.
The diameter of the coin must always be an integer.
You are asked to design a set of coins of different diameters with these requirements and your goal is to design as many coins as possible. How many coins can you design?

25. (There was a long story, I'll cut short it). There are 5 materials to make a perfume: Lilac, Balsalmic, Lemon, Woody and Mimosaic. To make a perfume that is in demand the following conditions are to be followed: Lilac and Balsalmic go together. Woody and Mimosaic go together, Woody and Balsalmic never go together. Lemon can be added with any material. (Actually they had also mentioned how much amount of one can be added with how much quantity of the other; but that's not needed for the question.) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume except:
(Like this model. But they changed the story by adding lemon, sweet etc and we have to find the option that gives ans for the impossible combination that is given in questions. Its a easy and logical type question)
26. One question like that there are 40 barreals are there and one is poisoned. If a drop is consumed he will die in 14 hrs then how many least mice are required to find the poisoned barreal?
Remaining i can't remember. I attempted around 32 questions and I'm sure 27-28 are correct and i cleared my online exam and luckily i got HR panel n the HR was very kind n in jolly mood. They announced the results on 9th December and my name also one among the students selected. Proud to join TATA groups.
