=>ans is 12:30 it will reach
56). A fisherman's day is rated as good if he catches 9 fishes, fair if 7 fishes and bad if 5
fishes. He catches 53 fishes in a week n had all good, fair n bad days in the week. So
how many good, fair n bad days did the fisher man had in the week
Ans:4 good, 1 fair n 2 bad days
Sol) Go to river catch fish
4*9=36
7*1=7
2*5=10
36+7+10=53...
take what is given 53
good days means --- 9 fishes so 53/9=4(remainder=17) if you assume 5 then there is
no chance for bad days.
fair days means ----- 7 fishes so remaining 17 --- 17/7=1(remainder=10) if you assume
2 then there is no chance for bad days.
bad days means -------5 fishes so remaining 10---10/5=2days.
Ans: 4 good, 1 fair, 2bad. ==== total 7 days.
x+y+z=7--------- eq1
9*x+7*y+5*z=53 -------eq2
multiply eq 1 by 9,
9*x+9*y+9*z=35 -------------eq3
from eq2 and eq3
2*y+4*z=10-----eq4
since all x,y and z are integer I sud put a integer value of y such that z sud be integer in
eq 4 .....and ther will be two value y=1 or 3 then z = 2 or 1 from eq 4
for first y=1,z=2 then from eq1 x= 4
so 9*4+1*7+2*5=53.... satisfied
now for second y=3 z=1 then from eq1 x=3
so 9*3+3*7+1*5=53 ......satisfied
so finally there are two solution of this question
(x,y,z)=(4,1,2) and (3,3,1)...
57) Y catches 5 times more fishes than X. If total number of fishes caught by X and Y is
42, then number of fishes caught by X?
Sol) Let no. of fish x catches=p
no. caught by y =r
r=5p.
r+p=42
then p=7,r=35
58) Three companies are working independently and receiving the savings 20%, 30%,
40%. If the companies work combinely, what will be their net savings?
suppose total income is 100
so amount x is getting is 80
y is 70
z =60
total=210
but total money is 300
300-210=90
so they are getting 90 rs less
90 is 30% of 300 so they are getting 30% discount
59) The ratio of incomes of C and D is 3:4.the ratio of their expenditures is 4:5. Find the
ratio of their savings if the savings of C is one fourths of his income?
Sol) incomes:3:4
expenditures:4:5
3x-4y=1/4(3x)
12x-16y=3x
9x=16y
y=9x/16
(3x-4(9x/16))/((4x-5(9x/16)))
Ans:12/19
60).The size of a program is N. And the memory occupied by the program is given by M
memory now occupied ?
Sol) M=sqrt(100N)
N is increased by 1%
therefore new value of N=N + (N/100)
=101N/100
M=sqrt(100 * (101N/100) )
Hence, we get M=sqrt(101 * N).
61). A person had to multiply two numbers. Instead of multiplying by 35, he multiplied
by 53 and the product went up by 540. What was the raised product?
a) 780 b) 1040 c) 1590 d) 1720
Sol) x*53-x*35=540=> x=30 therefore, 53*30=1590 Ans
Just Go through the previous year question papers and solve all the questions. The
pattern of the questions are same only the values are changed, so go through and solve
those questions.
Wishing you all the best.

Software Engineering: software development models, different strategies of testing (unit
testing, integration testing…), Types of testing (white or black box),
Project: It is very important to visit the company site before the interview Anything can be
asked depending on the panel member. This is all about my written test, Tech, MR and
finally miserable HR interview experiences at TCS. In every round your confidence level and
communication are important for success, be cool comfortable & confident.
TCS PAPER ON 6 October At 2007
Hyderabad
Hiii...
I’m Vindhya.I attended TCS off Campus drive for freshers (only CSE and IT
Branches) held at Hyderabad on 6/7th October. TCS first opens up registration in
the month of May but it conducts the exam only in the month of October (we
need to have lots of patience!!).
For Off Campus drive we will have to write a written exam which comprises of 3
sets(X, Y, and Z). I heard about 14,000 students (7000 students on 6th Oct and
abt 7000 students on 7th Oct) had attended this exam in Hyderabad.
The written test results were announced on 11th Oct and only 2,338 students
cleared the written exam. There was lots of competition; I would suggest u to
score at least 52-55 in the written out of 82 questions. I got set X (brown color). I
will post in the maximum questions I remember. There were total of 82
questions.
1st Section: Verbal: 32 questions. (10 synonyms; 10 Antonyms; 6 fill in the

blanks; 6 Reading comprehension).
10 Synonyms:
1. Musty= stale
2. Galleon= ship
3. Garrulous= talkative
4. Brochure= pamphlet
5. Candid= outspoken
6. Regal= royal
7. Repudiate = reject
8. Chimerical= fantastic
10 Antonyms:
1. Credit X believe false

2. Quixotic X pragmatic
3. Admonition X commendation
4. Precipitate X Dilatory.
5. Inter X bury.
6. Omniscience X Ignorance.
7. Precipitous X Cautious
8. Protract X shorten
9. Tenacious X
6 Fill in the blanks: It was on fungus (page117 12th edition Gre Barron’s
book).I will type the complete passage. (The same question was asked in set Y or
Z set too.)
Observe the dilemma of the fungus: it is a plant, but it possesses no chlorophyll.

While all other plants put the suns energy to work for them combining the
nutrients of ground and air into the body structure, the chlorophylless fungus
must look elsewhere for an energy supply. It finds it in those other plants which,
having received their energy free from the sun, relinquish it at some point in
their cycle either to animals (like us humans) or to fungi.
In this search for energy the fungus has become the earth’s major
source of rot and decay. Wherever you see mold forming on a piece of bread or a
pile of leaves turning to compost, or a blown-down tree becoming pulp on the
ground, you are watching a fungus eating. Without fungus action the earth would
be piled high with the dead plant life of past centuries. In fact, certain plants
which contain resins that are toxic to fungi will last indefinitely; specimens of the
redwood for instance can still be found resting on the forest floor centuries after
having been blown down.
(Note: The underlined sentences were the blanks to be filled by choosing them
from the options given.)
6 Reading comprehension questions: It was on- The curtain rises: the

One large passage-6marks.

I answer all question from passage in guess becos i have no time to read whole passage care
fully.
QUANTITATIVE: 38 Q-40 M
ALL CAME FROM PREVIOUS YR QUESTION. U SHOULD KEEP ON UR MEMORY
THE ANSWER OF EACH QUESTION .
THERE IS 3 Q FROM VENN DIAGRAM & 3 FROM PIE CHART.
1. Two pencils costs 8 cents, then 5 pencils cost how much

Sol: 2 pencils è 8 cents => 1 pencil è 4 cents
Therefore 5 pencils cost = 5 * 4 = 20 cents
2. A work is done by two people in 24 min. one of them can do this work a lonely in 40 min.
how much time required to do the same work for the second person.
Sol: (A+B) can do the work in = 1/24 min.
A alone can do the same work in = 1/40 min.
B alone can do the same work in = (A+B)’s – A’s = 1/24 – 1/40 = 1/60
Therefore, b can do the same work in = 60 min
3.A car is filled with four and half gallons of oil for full round trip. Fuel is taken 1/4 gallon
more in going than coming. What is the fuel consumed in coming up?
Sol Before the trip, car is filled with = 4 ½ gallon of oil
Let ‘X’ be the quantity of fuel consumed for the trip in one direction
The fuel consumed while going = X + ¼
The fuel consumed while coming = X
Therefore, the fuel consumed for the trip = (X + ¼) + X = 4 ½
ð 2X + ¼ = 4 ½ => 2X = 4 ½ - ¼ => 2X = 4 ¼ => X= 2. approx
Therefore the fuel consumed while coming = 2 gallon
4. Low temperature at the night in a city is 1/3 more than 1/2 high as higher temperature in a
day. Sum of the low temperature and highest temp. is 100 degrees. Then what is the low
temp?
Sol: 40 deg.
5. A person, who decided to go to weekend trip should not exceed 8 hours driving in a day.
Average speed of forward journey is 40 m/h. Due to traffic in Sundays, the return journey
average speed is 30 m/h. How far he can select a picnic spot?
a) 120 miles
b) Between 120 and 140 miles
c) 160 miles
Answer: 120 miles
6. A person was fined for exceeding the speed limit by 10mph. Another person was also fined
for exceeding the same speed limit by twice the same. If the second person was traveling at a
speed of 35 mph, find the speed limit.
Sol: Let ‘x’ be the speed limit
Person ‘A’ was fined for exceeding the speed limit by = 10mph
Person ‘B’ was fined for exceeding the speed limit by = twice of ‘A’

Directions for Questions 21-26: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow
on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
A leading Indian industrialist in a recent article on ways to strengthen India's economy has
drawn attention to the problems of inflation and industrial sickness among other things. One
of the main reasons for industrial sickness in our country has been the fact that business and
industrial managers, have not been able to look beyond the immediate future. They have
been too preoccupied with their attempts to report favorable results for the current year higher
profits and larger dividends to the share holders. The planning horizon has hardly ever
exceeded five years. Investments have been inadequate for new plants and towards
diversification and expansions. Modernisation and asset creation has seriously lagged
behind. In business, growth is needed for survival; one has to grow if one does not want to be
wiped out This is particularly true today with liberalisation of imports and increasing
competition. More over, growth and higher productivity create employment and higher
employment creates larger markets both for industrial and consumer products. It was Hentry
Ford who brought home the need for the creation of larger and a more stable middle class,
that is, a larger number of people who can afford more and more of goods and services. Even
after forty years of independence our industrialists have not been able to shed the petty
shopkeeper's mentality and our highly educated management has tagged along merrily and
without concern.

author ?
A) The invest unreasonable high amount on diversification and expansion.
B) They are more concerned for immediate net gains than for developmental activities

Ans: B
22. The leading industrialist attributes industrial sickness mainly to
A) lacunae in five-year plans

E) inflation and other economic problems
Ans: D
23.According to the passage, growth and increasing productivity lead to
A) imposition of restrictions on imports
B) employment and thus provide an outlet to industrial and consumer products
C) encouragement to export of excess consumer goods
D) disproportionate surplus of commodities
Ans: B
24. Why did Hentry Ford stress the need for a more stable middle class ?
A) They are mostly service oriented

B) They do not have shopkeeper mentality
C) They can afford to buy more and more expensive goods
D) They are most unstable

25. The planning horizon has hardly ever exceeded five year's implies
A) Planning should not be for a period of less than five years
B) The planning process is very time consuming
C) The planners are not inclined to think of future
D) Planning should take care of all probable ups and downs in the next five-year period
E) Five-year period is too short for successful implementation of plans.
Ans: E

Recent advances in science and technology have made it possible for geneticists to to find out
abnormalities in the unborn foetus and take remedial action to rectify some defects which
would otherwise prove to be fatal to the child. Though genetic engineering is still at its
infancy, scientists can now predict with greater accuracy a genetic disorder. It is not yet in a
position to predict when exactly a genetic disorder will set in. While they have not yet been
able to change the genetic order of the gene in germs, they are optimistic and are holding out
that in the near future they might be successful in achieving this feat. They have, however,
acquired the ability in manipulating tissue cells. However, genetic mis-information can
sometimes be damaging for it may adversely affect people psychologically. Genetic
information may lead to a tendency to brand some people as inferiors. Genetic information
can therefore be abused and its application in deciding the sex of the foetus and its
subsequent abortion is now hotly debated on ethical lines. But on this issue geneticists cannot
be squarely blamed though this charge has often been levelled at them. It is mainly a societal
problem. At present genetic engineering is a costly process of detecting disorders but
scientists hope to reduce the costs when technology becomes more advanced. This is why
much progress in this area has been possible in scientifically advanced and rich countries like
the U.S.A, U.K and Japan. It remains to be seen if in the future this science will lead to the
development of a race of supermen or will be able to obliterate disease from this world.

Directions 1-12 : Answer the questions given below the passage or statement as true,
false or can't say.
PASSAGE :Glaciers begin to form where snow remains year-round and enough of it
accumulates to transform into ice. New layers of snow compress the previous layers and this
compression forces the icy snow to re-crystallize, forming grains similar in size and shape to
cane sugar. Gradually the grains grow larger and the air pockets between the grains get
smaller, meaning that the snow slowly becomes more dense. After about two winters, the
snow turns into firn, an intermediate state between snow and ice. Over time the larger ice
crystals become more compressed and even denser, this is known as glacial ice. Glacial ice,
because of its density and ice crystals, often takes a bluish or even green hue.
Answer questions 1- 5 based on passage .
1. Glaciers cannot form where snow does not remain all year round.
A. True B. False C. Can't say
Ans: A
2. Firn is less dense than snow but more dense than ice
Ans: B
3. Glacial ice is always greenish or bluish in color.
Ans: B
4. Snow falls every year in areas where glaciers form.
Ans: C
5. The increase in density is caused by the grains becoming smaller.
Ans: B
PASSAGE :A power of attorney or letter of attorney in common law systems or mandate in
civil law systems is an authorization to act on someone else's behalf in a legal or business
matter. The person authorizing the other to act is the "principal" or "grantor", and the one
authorized to act is the "agent" or "attorney-in-fact". The attorney-in-fact acts "in the
principal's name," signing the principal's name to documents and filing suit with the
principal's name as plaintiff, for example.
As one kind of agent, an attorney-in-fact is a fiduciary for the principal, so the law requires
an attorney-in-fact to be completely honest with and loyal to the principal in their dealings
with each other. If the attorney-in-fact is being paid to act for the principal, the contract is a
separate matter from the power of attorney itself, so if that contract is in writing, it is a
separate document, kept private between them, whereas the power of attorney is intended to
be shown to various other people.
The power of attorney may be oral, such as asking someone else to sign your name on a
cheque because your arm is broken, or may be in writing. Many institutions, such as
hospitals, banks, and the I.R.S., require a power of attorney to be in writing before they will
honor it, and they usually want to keep an original for their records.
6.The agent grants the principal the power to act on behalf of the grantor.
Ans: B
7.All contracts between the principal and the agent must be made public.
Ans: B
8. The power of attorney may be granted verbally.
Ans: A
9. Only a legal professional can be granted the power of attorney.
Ans: C
10. In civil law systems the power of attorney is referred to as a mandate.

Nature is like business. Business sense dictates that we guard our capital and live from the
interest. Nature's capital is the enormous diversity of living things. Without it, we cannot
feed ourselves, cure ourselves of illness or provide industry with the raw materials of wealth
creation. Professor Edward Wilson, of Harvard University says," The folly our descendants
are least likely to forgive us is the ongoing loss of genetic and spices diversity. This will take
millions of years to correct".
Only 150 plant species have ever been widely cultivated. Yet over 75000 edible plants are
known in the wild. In a hungry world, with a population growing by 90 million each year, so
much wasted potential in tragic. Medicines from the wild are worth around 40 billion dollars a
year. Over 5000 species are known to yield chemical with cancer fighting potential Scientists
currently estimate that the total number of species in the world is between 10-30 million with
only around 1.4 million identified.
The web of life is torn when mankind exploits natural resources in short-sighted ways. The
trade in tropical hardwoods can destroy whole forests to extract just a few commercially
attractive specimens. Bad agricultural practice triaggers 24 billion tonnes of top soil erosion
a year losting the equivalent of 9 million tonnes of grain output. Cutting this kind of
unsuitable exploitation and instituting "sustainable utilisation" will help turn the
environmental crisis around.

Educational planning should aim at meeting the educational needs of the entire population of
all age groups. While the traditional structure of education as a three layer hierarchy from the
primary stage to the university represents the core, we should not overlook the periphery
which is equally important. Under modern conditions, workers need to rewind, or renew
their enthusiasm, or strike out in a new direction, or improve their skills as much as any
university professor. The retired and the aged have their needs as well. Educational
planning, in their words, should take care of the needs of everyone.
Our structures of education have been built up on the assumption that there is a terminal point
to education. This basic defect has become all the more harmful today, A UNESCO report
entitled 'Learning to Be' prepared by Edger Faure and others in 1973 asserts that the
education of children must prepare the future adult for various forms of self-learning. A
viable education system of the future should consist of modules with different kinds of
functions serving a diversity of constituents. And performance, not the period of study,
should be the basis for credentials. The writing is already on the wall.
In view of the fact that the significance of a commitment of lifelong learning and lifetime
education is being discussed only in recent years even in educationally advanced countries,
The possibility of the idea becoming an integral part of educational thinking seems to be a
far cry. For, to move in that direction means such more than some simple rearrangement of
the present organisation of education. But a good begining can be made by developing open
university programmes for older learners of different categories and introducing extension
services in the conventional colleges and schools. Also these institutions should learn to co-
operate with the numerous community organizations such as libraries, museums, municipal
recreational programmes, health services etc.

Amnesty International's charge that 'tens of thousands' of political prisoners, including

prisoners of conscience, are languishing in Indian jails and that prisoners are routinely
tortured in this country has to be seen in a much wider context than the organisation's annual
report cares to do. In its overall appraisal of 151 countries, Amnesty has accused 112 of
torturing prisoners, 63 of harboring prisoners of conscience, 61 of resorting to political
killings and 53 of detaining people without a trial. Of these apparently overlapping
categories, India seems to have been excluded from the list of the 61 which undertake
political killings. The report has however, pointed out that scores of people in India die of
torture in police and military custody and that many also simply disappear. Clearly, only a
thin line separates the 61 charged with political murder from the rest. Before coming to such
conclusions, however, it may also be necessary to classify the various countries according to
their political systems. Torture by the security forces and killings at the behest of the
government make no difference to the victims whether they are in a democratic country or a
totalitarian one. It is also nobody's case that a democratic country is less culpable than a
dictatorship in the event of human rights violations. But the point perhaps still needs to be
made that torture or 'disappearances' represent a failure of the system in a democracy in
contrast to being an integral part of state policy in a country ruled by an autocrat who is
answerable to no one.
India may be guilty of keeping 'tens of thousands' behind bars and of the other human rights
abuses mentioned by qualitatively different place from a totalitarian country. It is in this
respect that Amnesty has been lass than fair. It has chosen to ignore the distinctions between
the good, the bad and the ugly. The openness of Indian society will be evident to anyone who
spends half an hour in one of its chaotic market-places or visits the law courts or watches a
political rally or reads a newspaper or strikes up a conversation with any person on the
roads. There is no sense of fear in India, as in a dictatorship. There is also scope for securing
relief from the heavy-handed behaviour of the authorities, even if the human rights
commission has not yet lived up to expectations. Unless such points are recognised,
Amnesty's assessment will seem to be a dry recital of statistics which may pillory India
simply because of its larger population. Mercifully, Amnesty nowadays at least notes that the
terrorists also indulge in human rights violations and that India has to cope with several
insurgencies fomented by a country where the military does not always seem to be under the
control of the elected government. True, there is much that is the way the terrorist challenge
is activating the self-correcting mechanism within a democracy and not merely on painting a
grim, even biased picture.

56). A fisherman's day is rated as good if he catches 9 fishes, fair if 7 fishes and bad if 5
fishes. He catches 53 fishes in a week n had all good, fair n bad days in the week. So how
many good, fair n bad days did the fisher man had in the week
4*9=36
7*1=7
2*5=10
36+7+10=53...
good days means --- 9 fishes so 53/9=4(remainder=17) if u assume 5 then there is no chance
for bad days.
fair days means ----- 7 fishes so remaining 17 --- 17/7=1(remainder=10) if u assume 2 then
there is no chance for bad days.
x+y+z=7--------- eq1
9*x+7*y+5*z=53 -------eq2
multiply eq 1 by 9,
9*x+9*y+9*z=35 -------------eq3
from eq2 and eq3
2*y+4*z=10-----eq4
since all x,y and z are integer i sud put a integer value of y such that z sud be integer in eq
4 .....and ther will be two value y=1 or 3 then z = 2 or 1 from eq 4
so 9*4+1*7+2*5=53.... satisfied
so 9*3+3*7+1*5=53 ......satisfied
(x,y,z)=(4,1,2) and (3,3,1)...
57) Y catches 5 times more fishes than X. If total number of fishes caught by X and Y is 42,
then number of fishes caught by X?
no. caught by y =r

A leading Indian industrialist in a recent article on ways to strengthen India's economy has
drawn attention to the problems of inflation and industrial sickness among other things. One
of the main reasons for industrial sickness in our country has been the fact that business and
industrial managers, have not been able to look beyond the immediate future. They have
been too preoccupied with their attempts to report favorable results for the current year higher
profits and larger dividends to the share holders. The planning horizon has hardly ever
exceeded five years. Investments have been inadequate for new plants and towards
diversification and expansions. Modernisation and asset creation has seriously lagged
behind. In business, growth is needed for survival; one has to grow if one does not want to be
wiped out This is particularly true today with liberalisation of imports and increasing
competition. More over, growth and higher productivity create employment and higher
employment creates larger markets both for industrial and consumer products. It was Hentry
Ford who brought home the need for the creation of larger and a more stable middle class,
that is, a larger number of people who can afford more and more of goods and services. Even
after forty years of independence our industrialists have not been able to shed the petty
shopkeeper's mentality and our highly educated management has tagged along merrily and
without concern.
21. Which of the following short comings of Indian industrialists has been highlighted by the
author ?
A) The invest unreasonable high amount on diversification and expansion.
B) They are more concerned for immediate net gains than for developmental activities

D) They are less concerned for payment of dividends to shareholders
Ans: B
22. The leading industrialist attributes industrial sickness mainly to
A) lacunae in five-year plans
B) preoccupations of managers with matters unrelated to business
C) higher profits and larger dividends to shareholders
D) lack of foresight among managers
E) inflation and other economic problems
Ans: D
23.According to the passage, growth and increasing productivity lead to
A) imposition of restrictions on imports
B) employment and thus provide an outlet to industrial and consumer products
C) encouragement to export of excess consumer goods
D) disproportionate surplus of commodities
Ans: B
24. Why did Hentry Ford stress the need for a more stable middle class ?
A) They are mostly service oriented
B) They do not have shopkeeper mentality
C) They can afford to buy more and more expensive goods
D) They are most unstable
E) None of these
Ans:. C
25. The planning horizon has hardly ever exceeded five year's implies
A) Planning should not be for a period of less than five years
B) The planning process is very time consuming
C) The planners are not inclined to think of future
D) Planning should take care of all probable ups and downs in the next five-year period
E) Five-year period is too short for successful implementation of plans.
Ans: E
26. According to the passage, the net gains pursued by managers are at the cost of

Educational planning should aim at meeting the educational needs of the entire population of
all age groups. While the traditional structure of education as a three layer hierarchy from the
primary stage to the university represents the core, we should not overlook the periphery
which is equally important. Under modern conditions, workers need to rewind, or renew
their enthusiasm, or strike out in a new direction, or improve their skills as much as any
university professor. The retired and the aged have their needs as well. Educational
planning, in their words, should take care of the needs of everyone.
Our structures of education have been built up on the assumption that there is a terminal point
to education. This basic defect has become all the more harmful today, A UNESCO report
entitled 'Learning to Be' prepared by Edger Faure and others in 1973 asserts that the
education of children must prepare the future adult for various forms of self-learning. A
viable education system of the future should consist of modules with different kinds of
functions serving a diversity of constituents. And performance, not the period of study,
should be the basis for credentials. The writing is already on the wall.
In view of the fact that the significance of a commitment of lifelong learning and lifetime
education is being discussed only in recent years even in educationally advanced countries,
The possibility of the idea becoming an integral part of educational thinking seems to be a
far cry. For, to move in that direction means such more than some simple rearrangement of
the present organisation of education. But a good begining can be made by developing open
university programmes for older learners of different categories and introducing extension
services in the conventional colleges and schools. Also these institutions should learn to co-
operate with the numerous community organizations such as libraries, museums, municipal
recreational programmes, health services etc.

APTITUDE SECTION :
1)My flight takes of at 2am from a place at 18N 10E and landed 10 Hrs later at a
place with coordinates 36N70W. What is the local time when my plane landed?
6:00 am b) 6:40am c) 7:40 d) 7:00 e) 8:00
Sol) The destination place is 80 degree west to the starting place. Hence the
time difference between these two places is 5 hour 20 min. (=24hr*80/360).
When the flight landed, the time at the starting place is 12 noon (2 AM + 10
hours). Hence, the time at the destination place is 12 noon - 5:20 hours = 6: 40
AM
memory, with the address of the first element X (1, 1) is 3000, find the address
of X (8, 5)
Sol) initial x (1,1) = 3000 u have to find from x(8,1)so u have x(1,1),x(1,2) ...
x(7,7) = so u have totally 7 * 7 = 49 elements you need to find for x(8,5) ? here
we have 5 elements each element have 4 bytes : (49 + 5 -1) * 4 = 212 -----( -1 is
to deduct the 1 element ) 3000 + 212 = 3212
3) what's the answer for that : A, B and C are 8 bit no's. They are as follows:
A -> 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1
B -> 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
C -> 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 ( - =minus, u=union)
Find ((A - C) u B) =?
Sol)To find A-C, We will find 2's compliment of C and them add it with A, That will
give us (A-C) 2's compliment of C=1's compliment of C+1
=11000101+1=11000110 A-C=11000101+11000110 =10001001
Now (A-C) U B is .OR. logic operation on (A-C) and B 10001001 .OR . 00110011

28)Amal bought 5 pens, 7 pencils and 4 erasers. Rajan bought 6 pens, 8 erasers
and 14 pencils for an amount which was half more than what Amal had paid.
What % of the total amount paid by Amal was paid for pens?
sol) Let, 5 pens + 7 pencils + 4 erasers = x rupees
so 10 pens + 14 pencils + 8 erasers = 2*x rupees
also mentioned, 6 pens + 14 pencils + 8 erarsers = 1.5*x rupees
so (10-6) = 4 pens = (2-1.5)x rupees
so 4 pens = 0.5x rupees => 8 pens = x rupees
so 5 pens = 5x/8 rupees = 5/8 of total (note x rupees is total amt paid by
amal) i.e 5/8 = 500/8% = 62.5%
29)A work is done by 2 people in 24 min. One of them can do this work alone in

So, their one day work is
(1/x)+(1+y)=(1/24)
One man can complete the work in 40mins
one man's one day work (1/y)= (1/40)
Now,
(1/x)=(1/24)-(1/40)
(1/x)=(1/60)
So, x can complete the work in 60 mins

Recent advances in science and technology have made it possible for geneticists to to find out
abnormalities in the unborn foetus and take remedial action to rectify some defects which
would otherwise prove to be fatal to the child. Though genetic engineering is still at its
infancy, scientists can now predict with greater accuracy a genetic disorder. It is not yet in a
position to predict when exactly a genetic disorder will set in. While they have not yet been
able to change the genetic order of the gene in germs, they are optimistic and are holding out
that in the near future they might be successful in achieving this feat. They have, however,
acquired the ability in manipulating tissue cells. However, genetic mis-information can
sometimes be damaging for it may adversely affect people psychologically. Genetic
information may lead to a tendency to brand some people as inferiors. Genetic information
can therefore be abused and its application in deciding the sex of the foetus and its
subsequent abortion is now hotly debated on ethical lines. But on this issue geneticists cannot
be squarely blamed though this charge has often been levelled at them. It is mainly a societal
problem. At present genetic engineering is a costly process of detecting disorders but
scientists hope to reduce the costs when technology becomes more advanced. This is why
much progress in this area has been possible in scientifically advanced and rich countries like
the U.S.A, U.K and Japan. It remains to be seen if in the future this science will lead to the
development of a race of supermen or will be able to obliterate disease from this world.

Directions 1-12 : Answer the questions given below the passage or statement as true,
false or can't say.
PASSAGE :Glaciers begin to form where snow remains year-round and enough of it
accumulates to transform into ice. New layers of snow compress the previous layers and this
compression forces the icy snow to re-crystallize, forming grains similar in size and shape to
cane sugar. Gradually the grains grow larger and the air pockets between the grains get
smaller, meaning that the snow slowly becomes more dense. After about two winters, the
snow turns into firn, an intermediate state between snow and ice. Over time the larger ice
crystals become more compressed and even denser, this is known as glacial ice. Glacial ice,
because of its density and ice crystals, often takes a bluish or even green hue.
Answer questions 1- 5 based on passage .
1. Glaciers cannot form where snow does not remain all year round.
Ans: A
2. Firn is less dense than snow but more dense than ice

Ans: B
3. Glacial ice is always greenish or bluish in color.
Ans: B
4. Snow falls every year in areas where glaciers form.
Ans: C
5. The increase in density is caused by the grains becoming smaller.
Ans: B
PASSAGE :A power of attorney or letter of attorney in common law systems or mandate in

civil law systems is an authorization to act on someone else's behalf in a legal or business
matter. The person authorizing the other to act is the "principal" or "grantor", and the one
authorized to act is the "agent" or "attorney-in-fact". The attorney-in-fact acts "in the
principal's name," signing the principal's name to documents and filing suit with the
principal's name as plaintiff, for example.
As one kind of agent, an attorney-in-fact is a fiduciary for the principal, so the law requires
an attorney-in-fact to be completely honest with and loyal to the principal in their dealings
with each other. If the attorney-in-fact is being paid to act for the principal, the contract is a
separate matter from the power of attorney itself, so if that contract is in writing, it is a
separate document, kept private between them, whereas the power of attorney is intended to
be shown to various other people.
The power of attorney may be oral, such as asking someone else to sign your name on a
cheque because your arm is broken, or may be in writing. Many institutions, such as
hospitals, banks, and the I.R.S., require a power of attorney to be in writing before they will
honor it, and they usually want to keep an original for their records.
6.The agent grants the principal the power to act on behalf of the grantor.
Ans: B
7.All contracts between the principal and the agent must be made public.

Ans: B
8. The power of attorney may be granted verbally.
Ans: A

pencils for an amount which was half more than what Amal had paid. What % of the total
amount paid by Amal was paid for pens?
sol) Let, 5 pens + 7 pencils + 4 erasers = x rupees
so (10-6) = 4 pens = (2-1.5)x rupees
so 5 pens = 5x/8 rupees = 5/8 of total (note x rupees is total amt paid by
amal) i.e 5/8 = 500/8% = 62.5%
29)A work is done by 2 people in 24 min. One of them can do this work alone in 40 min.
How much time required to do the same work for the second person?

2) A box of 150 packets consists of 1kg packets and 2kg packets. Total weight of box
is 264kg. How many 2kg packets are there?
Sol: Given x= 2 kg Packs
y= 1 kg packs
=> x + y = 150 .......... Eqn 1

=> 2x + y = 264 .......... Eqn 2
On solving these two equations
x = 114
By using equation 1
114 + y = 150
=> y = 36
=>Number of 2 kg Packs = 114.

11)A fisherman's day is rated as good if he catches 9 fishes ,fair if 7 fishes and bad if 5
fishes .He catches 53 fishes in a week n had all good, fair n bad days in the week. So how
many good, fair n bad days did the fisher man had in the week.
Sol:
for bad days.
4*9=36
7*1=7
2*5=10
36+7+10=53...
12) x+y+z=7--------- eq1

9*x+7*y+5*z=53 -------eq2
Sol:
Multiply eq 1 by 9,
9*x+9*y+9*z=35 -------------eq3
From eq2 and eq3
2*y+4*z=10-----eq4
Since all x, y and z are integer i should put a integer value of y such that z sud be
integer in eq 4.....And there will be two value y=1 or 3 then z = 2 or 1 from eq 4
For first y=1,z=2 then from eq1 x= 4
So 9*4+1*7+2*5=53.... Satisfied
Now for second y=3 z=1 then from eq1 x=3
So 9*3+3*7+1*5=53 ......satisfied
So finally there are two solution of this question
Ans:(x,y,z)=(4,1,2) and (3,3,1)...
Sol: let no. of fish x catches=p
No. caught by y =r
r=5p.
Given r+p=42
Then p=7, r=35
14) Three companies are working independently and receiving the savings 20%, 30%, 40%. If
the companies work combine, what will be their net savings?
Sol: Suppose total income is 100
So amount x is getting is 80
y is 70
z =60
Total=210
But total money is 300
300-210=90
So they are getting 90 rs less
15) The ratio of incomes of C and D is 3:4.the ratio of their expenditures is 4:5.Find the ratio
Sol: incomes: 3:4
Expenditures: 4:5
3x-4y=1/4(3x)
12x-16y=3x
9x=16y
y=9x/16
(3x-4(9x/16))/ ((4x-5(9x/16)))

51) The total expense of a boarding house is partly fixed and partly variable with the number
of boarders. The charge is Rs.70 per head when there are 25 boarders and Rs.60 when there
are 50 boarders. Find the charge per head when there are 100 boarders.
a) 65
b) 55
c) 50
d) 45
Sol: let a = fixed cost and
k = variable cost and n = number of boarders
Total cost when 25 boarders c = 25*70 = 1750 i.e. 1750 = a + 25k
Solving above 2 eqns, 3000-1750 = 25k i.e. 1250 = 25k i.e. k = 50
Therefore, substituting this value of k in either of above 2 eqns we get
a = 500 (a = 3000-50*50 = 500 or a = 1750 - 25*50 = 500)
So total cost when 100 boarders = c = a + 100k = 500 + 100*50 = 5500
So cost per head = 5500/100 = 55
52) Amal bought 5 pens, 7 pencils and 4 erasers. Rajan bought 6 pens, 8 erasers and 14
a) 37.5%
b) 62.5%
c) 50%
d) None of these
Sol: Let, 5 pens + 7 pencils + 4 erasers = x rupees
So 10 pens + 14 pencils + 8 erasers = 2*x rupees
Also mentioned, 6 pens + 14 pencils + 8 erasers = 1.5*x rupees
So (10-6) = 4 pens = (2-1.5) x rupees
So 4 pens = 0.5x rupees => 8 pens = x rupees
So 5 pens = 5x/8 rupees = 5/8 of total (note x rupees is total amt paid by
Amal) i.e. 5/8 = 500/8% = 62.5%
Ans: 62.5%
53) I lost Rs.68 in two races. My second race loss is Rs.6 more than the first race. My friend

b> Reading comprehension passages and comleting sentence(6 + 6)marks
2nd section is Quantitative...(40 mins 32 ques)..

3rd section is Critical reasoning..(30 mins 12 ques..)
FOR ANTONYMS N SYNONYMS

just go through the barrons 12 edition .but i think thats too much so its better not to worried
about the antonyms and synonyms .they are too tough and dont waste ur time in that becoz
the time alloted for this section is just 20 minutes.......and you have to complete the reading
comprehension and sentence completion as well..............
REMEMBER- there is no sectional cut off and no upper or lower cut off neither any type of
negative marking......so attempt all the question.....
QUANTITATIVE SECTION
they are just repeating these section every time some of the questions are TCS PAPER ON

1) If log 0.317=0.3332 and log 0.318=0.3364 then find log 0.319 ?

log 0.319=log0.318+(log(0.318-0.317)) = 0.3396
2) A box of 150 packets consists of 1kg packets and 2kg packets. Total weight of box is
Sol) x= 2 kg Packs
y= 1 kg packs
x + y = 150 .......... Eqn 1
2x + y = 264 .......... Eqn 2
so, y = 36
ANS : Number of 2 kg Packs = 114.
6:00 am b) 6:40am c) 7:40 d) 7:00 e) 8:00
between these two places is 5 hour 20 min. (=24hr*80/360).
When the flight landed, the time at the starting place is 12 noon (2 AM + 10 hours).
Hence, the time at the destination place is 12 noon - 5:20 hours = 6: 40 AM
ie,40+40=80
=>80*4=320min
response back to the programmer, after it is sent? Please tell me the answer with explanation.
Very urgent.
Sol) see it doesn't matter that wat the time is being taken to fill the bucket.after reaching
program it waits there for 10ms and back to the programmer in 20 ms.then total time to get
the response is 20ms +10 ms=30ms...it's so simple....
6) A file is transferred from one location to another in 'buckets'. The size of the bucket is 10
kilobytes. Each bucket gets filled at the rate of 0.0001 kilobytes per millisecond. The
Assuming no error during transmission, write a formula to calculate the time taken in seconds
to successfully complete the transfer of a file of size N kilobytes.
(n/1000)*(n/10)*10+(n/100)....as i hv calculated...~~!not 100% sure
7) A fisherman's day is rated as good if he catches 9 fishes, fair if 7 fishes and bad if 5 fishes.
He catches 53 fishes in a week n had all good, fair n bad days in the week. So how many
good, fair n bad days did the fisher man had in the week
4*9=36
7*1=7
2*5=10
36+7+10=53...
for bad days.
x+y+z=7--------- eq1
9*x+7*y+5*z=53 -------eq2
multiply eq 1 by 9,
9*x+9*y+9*z=35 -------------eq3
from eq2 and eq3
2*y+4*z=10-----eq4
so 9*4+1*7+2*5=53.... satisfied
so 9*3+3*7+1*5=53 ......satisfied
(x,y,z)=(4,1,2) and (3,3,1)...
no. caught by y =r
r=5p.
r+p=42
then p=7,r=35

12) If A can copy 50 pages in 10 hours and A and B together can copy 70 pages in 10 hours,
Sol) A can copy 50 pages in 10 hrs.
A can copy 5 pages in 1hr.(50/10)
now A & B can copy 70 pages in 10hrs.
thus, B can copy 90 pages in 10 hrs.[eqn. is (50+x)/2=70, where x--> no. of pages B can copy
in 10 hrs.]
so, B can copy 9 pages in 1hr.
therefore, to copy 26 pages B will need almost 3hrs.
since in 3hrs B can copy 27 pages.
13) what's the answer for that :

A, B and C are 8 bit no's. They are as follows:
A -> 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1
B -> 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
C -> 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 ( - =minus, u=union)
Find ((A - C) u B) =?
=11000101+1=11000110
A-C=11000101+11000110
=10001001
Now (A-C) U B is .OR. logic operation on (A-C) and B
10001001 .OR . 00110011
14) One circular array is given(means memory allocation tales place in circular fashion)
diamension(9X7) and sarting add. is 3000, What is the address of (2,3)........
Sol) it's a 9x7 int array so it reqiure a 126 bytes for storing.b'ze integer value need 2 byes of
memory allocation. and starting add is 3000
so starting add of 2x3 will be 3012.
Sol) initial x (1,1) = 3000 u hav to find from x(8,1)so u have x(1,1),x(1,2) ... x(7,7) = so u
have totally 7 * 7 = 49 elementsu need to find for x(8,5) ? here we have 5 elements each
= 3212
16) Which of the following is power of 3 a) 2345 b) 9875 c) 6504 d) 9833

19) A bus started from bustand at 8.00a m and after 30 min staying at destination, it returned
back to the bustand. the destination is 27 miles from the bustand. the speed of the bus 50
percent fast speed. at what time it returns to the bustand this is the step by step solution:
a bus cover 27 mile with 18 mph in =27/18= 1 hour 30 min. and it wait at stand =30 min.
after this speed of return increase by 50% so 50%of 18 mph=9mph
Total speed of returnig=18+9=27
then total time in joureny=1+1:30+00:30 =3 hour
so it will come at 8+3 hour=11 a.m.
So Ans==11 a.m
20) In two dimensional array X(7,9) each element occupies 2 bytes of memory.If the address
of first element X(1,1)is 1258 then what will be the address of the element X(5,8) ?
Sol) Here, the address of first element x[1][1] is 1258 and also 2 byte of memory is given.
now, we have to solve the address of element x[5][8], therefore, 1258+ 5*8*2 = 1258+80 =
1338 so the answer is 1338.
21) The temperature at Mumbai is given by the function: -t2/6+4t+12 where t is the elapsed
time since midnight. What is the percentage rise (or fall) in temperature between 5.00PM and
8.00PM?
temp?
Sol) Let highest temp be x
therefore, x=60
Lowest temp is 40
23) In Madras, temperature at noon varies according to -t^2/2 + 8t + 3, where t is elapsed

time. Find how much temperature more or less in 4pm to 9pm. Ans. At 9pm 7.5 more
Sol) In equestion first put t=9,
we will get 34.5...........................(1)
now put t=4,
we will get 27..............................(2)
so ans=34.5-27
=7.5
24) A person had to multiply two numbers. Instead of multiplying by 35, he multiplied by 53
a) 780 b) 1040 c) 1590 d) 1720
a) 50 b) 33 c) 16 d) 35
Sol) There is a simple way to answer this kind of Q's given 2x+3y=100, take l.c.m of 'x' coeff
and 'y' coeff i.e. l.c.m of 2,3 ==6then divide 100 with 6 , which turns out 16 hence answer is
16short cut formula--- constant / (l.cm of x coeff and y coeff)
26) The total expense of a boarding house are partly fixed and partly variable with the
number of boarders. The charge is Rs.70 per head when there are 25 boarders and Rs.60
when there are 50 boarders. Find the charge per head when there are 100 boarders.
a) 65 b) 55 c) 50 d) 45
Sol)
Let a = fixed cost and k = variable cost and n = number of boarders
total cost when 25 boarders c = 25*70 = 1750 i.e. 1750 = a + 25k
solving above 2 eqns, 3000-1750 = 25k i.e. 1250 = 25k i.e. k = 50
therefore, substituting this value of k in either of above 2 eqns we get
a = 500 (a = 3000-50*50 = 500 or a = 1750 - 25*50 = 500)
so total cost when 100 boarders = c = a + 100k = 500 + 100*50 = 5500
so cost per head = 5500/100 = 55
a) 37.5% b) 62.5% c) 50% d) None of these
Sol)
Let, 5 pens + 7 pencils + 4 erasers = x rupees
so (10-6) = 4 pens = (2-1.5)x rupees
so 5 pens = 5x/8 rupees = 5/8 of total (note x rupees is total amt paid byamal)
i.e 5/8 = 500/8% = 62.5% is the answer
second race?
Sol)
x + x+6 = rs 68
2x + 6 = 68
2x = 68-6
2x = 62
x=31
then my friend lost 37 + 4 = 41 Rs

a day. Sum of the low temp and high temp is 100 c. then what is the low temp.
ans is 40 c.
Sol) let x be the highest temp. then,
x+x/2+x/6=100.
therefore, x=60 which is the highest temp
and 100-x=40 which is the lowest temp.
38) car is filled with four and half gallons of oil for full round trip. Fuel is taken 1/4 gallons
more times in going than coming. What is the fuel consumed in coming up.
Sol) let feul consumed in coming up is x. thus equation is: x+1.25x=4.5ans:2gallons
39) A work is done by the people in 24 min. One of them can do this work alone in 40 min.
How much time required to do the same work for the second person
Sol) Two people work together in 24 mins.
(1/A)+(1+B)=(1/24)
one man's one day work (1/B)= (1/40)
Now,
(1/A)=(1/24)-(1/40)
(1/A)=(1/60)
So, A can complete the work in 60 mins.
40) In a company 30% are supervisors and 40% employees are male if 60% of supervisors
are male. What is the probability? That a randomly chosen employee is a male or female?

Sol) Yellow box can have either of pink/yellow balls.
if we put a yellow ball in "yellow" box then it wud imply that "yellow" is also the colour of
the box which has the red ball(becoz acordin 2 d question,d box of the red ball n the ball in
the yellow box have same colour)
thus this possibility is ruled out...
therefore the ball in yellow box must be pink,hence the colour of box containin red ball is
also pink....
=>the box colour left out is "green",,,which is alloted to the only box left,,,the one which has
yellow ball..
of same color.
Ans:he should pick 6 ball totally.
Sol) Suppose he picks 5 balls of all different colours then when he picks up the sixth one, it
must match any on of the previously drawn ball colour. thus he must pick 6 balls
56) What is the number of zeros at the end of the product of the numbers from 1 to 100
Sol) For every 5 in unit palce one zero is added Ch eta naS
Similarly for every no divisible by 10 one zero is added in the answer so between 1 to 100 11
zeros are added
for 25,50,75 3 extra zeros are added so total no of zeros are 10+11+3=24
57) 10 Digit number has its first digit equals to the numbers of 1's, second digit equals to the

58) There are two numbers in the ratio 8:9. if the smaller of the two numbers is increased by
12 and the larger number is reduced by 19 thee the ratio of the two numbers is 5:9. Find the
larger number?
sol) 8x:9x initialy
8x+ 12 : 9x - 19 = 5x:9x
8x+12 = 5x
-> x = 4
9x = 36 not sure about the answer ..
A-B = 3
B-c = 5
a-c = 8
so sum of diff = 8+3+5 = 16 kgs
respectively to the qualifying mark. If each of them fired atleast one shot and even by adding
ans is 11
coz each had atleast 1 shot done so 10 + 1 = 11
n 9 + 2 = 11
so d ans is 11
B tells it is 3 past 12. C tells it is 12:2. D tells it is half a dozen too soon to 12. No two
sol) A shows 11:57, B shows 12:03, C shows 12:02, and D shows 11:06 therefore, max time
is for B
Sol) The falling height is proportional to the squere of the time.
so, the proportional constant is=64/(2*2)=16;
so, at 6sec the object fall maximum (16*6*6)cm=576cm;
if it is>576 only that time the object falling 576cm within 6sec .Otherwise if it is
Ans) first 50 ings.- run= 50*50=2500
51st ings.- avg 51. so total run =51*51=2601.
so run scored in that ings=2601-2500=101 runs.
64) Anand finishes a work in 7 days, Bittu finishes the same job in 8 days and Chandu in 6
over?
a) 3rd b) 6th c) 9th d) 7th
Ans is d) 7th day
Sol) In d 1st day Anand does 1/7th of total work
similarly,
hence at d end of 3 days, work done = 1/7+1/8+1/6=73/168
remaining work = (168-73)/168 = 95/168
again after 6 days of work, remaining work is = (95-73)/168 = 22/168 and hence Anand
completes the work on 7th day.(hope u understood.)
65) A man, a women and a child can do a piece of work in 6 days,man can do it in 14 days,
women can do it 16 days, and in how many days child can do the same work?

B: 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0
C: 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1
Find ( (A-B) u C )==?
Hint : 109
A-B is {A} - {A n B}
A: 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1
B: 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0
by binary sub. a-b = 01100001 (1-0=1, 1-1=0,0-0=0, n for the 1st 3 digits 110-011=011)
now (a-b)uc= 01100001
or 01101101
gives 1101101... convert to decimal equals 10

The mental health movement in the United States began with a period of
considerable enlightenment. Dorothea Dix was chocked to find the mentally ill in
jails and almshouses and crusaded for the establishment of asylums in which
people could receive humane care in hospital-like environment and treatment,
which might help restore them to sanity. Bu the mid 1800s, 20 states had
established asylums, but during the late 1800s and early 1900s, in the face of
economic depression, legislatures were unable to appropriate sufficient funds for
decent care. Asylums became overcrowded and prison-like. Additionally, patients
were more resistant to treatment than the pioneers in the mental health field
had anticipated patients and other. Mental institutions became frightening and
depressing places in which the rights of patients were all but forgotten.
These conditions continued until after World War II. At that time, new treatments
were discovered for some major mental illnesses therefore considered
untreatable (Penicillin for syphilis of the brain and insulin treatment for
schizophrenia and depressions), and a succession of books, motion pictures and
newspaper exposes called attention to the plight of the mentally ill.
Improvements were made, and Dr. David Vail’s Humane Practices. Program is a
beacon for today. But changes were slow in coming until the early 1960s at that
time, the Civil Rights movement led lawyers to investigate America’s prisons,
which were disproportionately populated by blacks, and they in turn followed
prisoners into the only institution that were worse than the prisons-the hospital
for the criminally insane. The prisons were filled with angry young men
who encouraged by legal support, were quick to demand their rights. The
hospitals for the criminally insane, by contrast, were populated with people who
were considered “crazy” and who were often kept obediently in their place
through the use of server bodily restraints and large doses of major tranquilizers.
The young cadre of public interest lawyers liked their role in the mental
hospitals. The lawyers found population that was both passive and easy to
champion. These were, after all, people who, unlike criminals, had done nothing
wrong. And in many states, they were being kept in horrendous institutions, an
injustice, which once exposed, was bound to shock the public and, particularly,
the judicial conscience. Patient’s rights group’s successfully encouraged reform
by lobbying in state legislatures.
Judicial interventions have had some definite positive effects, but there is
growing awareness that courts cannot provide the standards and the review
mechanisms that assure good patient care. The details of providing day-to day
care simply cannot be mandated by a court, so it is time to take from the courts
the responsibility for delivery of mental health care and assurance of patient
right and return it to the state mental health administrators to whom the
mandate was originally given. Though it is difficult task, administrators must
undertake to write rules and standards and to provide the training and
surveillance to assure that treatment is given and patient rights are respected.
(27) The main purpose of the passage is to
A. discuss the influences of Dorothea Dix on the mental health movement
B. provide an historical perspective on problems of mental health care

III. Attempts by state legislatures to improve conditions in mental institutions
A.I only
B.III only
C.I and II only
D.II an III only
E.I,II and III

(30) The author’s attitude towards people who are patients in state institutions

whose colour is same as that of the ball in a yellow box. Red box has green ball. In which box
Ans is green...
Sol) Yellow box can have either of pink/yellow balls.
if we put a yellow ball in "yellow" box then it wud imply that "yellow" is also the colour of
the box which has the red ball(becoz acordin 2 d question,d box of the red ball n the ball in
the yellow box have same colour)
thus this possibility is ruled out...
therefore the ball in yellow box must be pink,hence the colour of box containin red ball is
also pink....
=>the box colour left out is "green",,,which is alloted to the only box left,,,the one which has
yellow ball..
of same color.
Ans:he should pick 6 ball totally.
Sol) Suppose he picks 5 balls of all different colours then when he picks up the sixth one, it
must match any on of the previously drawn ball colour.
thus he must pick 6 balls

INTERVIEW-
We had just 1 combined tech and HR interview. You might have 2 rounds. For tech interview
my sincere advice is that BE THOROUGH WITH YOUR BRANCH SUBJECTS! Out of the
4 computer subjects(c, c++, ds and rdbms) prepare any one thoroughly and atleast the basics
of other 3.
For HR interview prepare some general ques like:

1. Tell me about yourself
2. Strength and weakness
3. Why TCS
4. Why IT (for non-stream students)
5. Where you see yourself after 5 years
6. Hobbies and interests
7. Your idol and why

students were there,270 cleared the written test and finally 145 got through the Campus,And
I was one of them. All the aptitude QUestions were repeated from previous year papers from
TCS.For critical reasoning section go through the GRE 12th edition,it is available on the
net.Even if u r not able to solve that just mug up the answers.But its my sencere request to u
plz understand the funda behind each questions .they are changing the names and sequence of
the questions too. better if u understand it.
First there will be PPT frm TCS .U MAY ASK SOME GENUINE QUERY TO THEM .BUT
NO NONSENSE QUERIES and make ur own ID.then they will give u the details of online
test.there is no sectional cut off ,attempt as much question frm aptitude section,as most of
them are repeated
There will be three section

1.English 32 ques 20min

1-APTITUDE TEST
My aptitude test was online. Ther is no need to panic ,its very simple. There was no sectional
cut off & no negative marking. Time was fixed for particular section, once the time for one
section is over u can not return back to it or change the answers for that section’s can change
the answers in a particular section in the time limit provided for that section, for example u
can change the answers of English section in the time provided ,first 20 minutes but after that
u can not, as after that quantitative section will come automatically.
It has 3 sections:-
1>English -(time-20 minutes)-(10 synonyms + 10 antonyms + 8 fill in the blanks + 1
passage)
2>Quantitative -(time-40 minutes)-(38 questions)
3>Critical Reasoning -(30 minutes)-(3 reasoning passage)
1>ENGLISH
In case of English, the paper was very very standard. Most of the antonyms & synonyms
were really new ,i mugged many but it didn’t helped me allot, but i will also suggest that go
through different paper like mine one. U have to use ur IQ to solve most of them, i will
suggest don’t waste extra energy on mugging up anto. & syno., but ya mug up the common
ones.
# Synonyms & synonyms:-
Most of the words were new, so i don’t remember, but still what i remember i will write, do
both antonym & synonym of the word ...
ESTRANGE
APATHETIC
I really don’t remember……….
i have a list of most frequent asked words , if u want , I can give it to u by mailing it to ur
ID
# fill in the blanks It was really tough, i really don’t remember, but don’t worry much as there
r many set of paper, u may get a easy one, as told by friends that few of them got easy ones.
# Passage
It was a psychological type passage,(but NOT psychological paper) i read all the passage of
Barron but it was not from that, so b prepared.
2>QUANTITATIVE

of first element X(1,1)is 3000 then what will be the address of the last element X(2,3) ?
Sol. Remember that we have been asked to write to find address of last element not of first
element. 3000+8*4+3*4+3(for last element) = 3047
coordinates 36N 80W. What is the local time when my plane landed.
Ans. Every 1 deg longitude is equal to 4 minutes . If west to east add time else subtract
time) and measure the longitude form GMT do the difference between the longitude is 90
degree=90*4=360minutes=6 hours. Don’t take into account the value of N and S if any.
So the local time of landing = 2+8-6=4am.

27.28.29. A Venn diagram was given and 3 questions were asked on it. Just understand the
problem carefully and solve it (only addition, subtraction and multiplication and division
required)
The question was based on that this number of people know c , this number of people java
and this number of people know .net
30.31.32. A bar graph was given and question was asked on it. It was something about club
membership (just addition, multiplication etc.)
Other questions were also simple but I don’t exactly remember those. Just do some more
previous papers those will be helpful to you.
C. CRITICAL REASONING (12 QUESETIONS, 30 MINUTES) : Don’t think that it is

enough time to solve this section. Actually this section is from the model test papers of
Barron’s 12 th edition. It consists of 3 paragraphs containing 4 questions each. If you have
practiced a lot than you will able to do this section within 5 minutes, otherwise the case may
be that you will not able to answer even a single question from it, because some questions are
very tricky and you can do them if you are doing them first time. So please prepare the
questions form 5 test papers and only solve those paragraphs which contain 4 or more
questions. Don’t let this work pending till last day. Don’t need to mug up all the answers just
know the method. Only some questions need to be mug up. There is no important passage as
we had paragraphs form all test papers. So don’t take chance in this section. I think that in
this section the weightage was higher than other sections. In my paper they asked the
question on Prithu and Brithu marriages from test paper 5(they changed some name, but
don’t worry if you know how to attempt then you will able to solve it and those who have
mugged up it also don’t worry because the starting alphabet of the name of the characters
was same, so still you can attempt it. Second paragraph was on Scurvy problem and it was
also form test paper 5. Third passage was and selecting two professor form large university
and one form small college.
They declared the result of first 80 students around 12am. And we were told that interview
will start in 10 minutes. Due to our Test-1 exams we were out of touch with other technical
subject and were thinking that we will revise Technical part in the rest of the day. But nothing
could be done now. So we were ready for interviews. Out of total around 250 students around
180 students cleared the written test.
We were given a form and asked to fill and submit it. I was called for interview around 5 pm.

11)A fisherman,s day is rated as good if he catches 9 fishes ,fair if 7 fishes and
bad if 5 fishes .He catches 53 fishes in a week n had all good, fair n bad days in
the week. So how many good, fair n bad days did the fisher man had in the
week.
Sol:
good days means --- 9 fishes so 53/9=4(remainder=17) if u assume 5 then there

is no chance for bad days.
fair days means ----- 7 fishes so remaining 17 --- 17/7=1(remainder=10) if u

assume 2 then there is no chance for bad days.

4*9=36
7*1=7
2*5=10
36+7+10=53...
12) x+y+z=7--------- eq1
9*x+7*y+5*z=53 -------eq2
Sol:
Multiply eq 1 by 9,
9*x+9*y+9*z=35 -------------eq3
From eq2 and eq3
2*y+4*z=10-----eq4
Since all x, y and z are integer i should put a integer value of y such that z sud
be integer in eq 4.....And there will be two value y=1 or 3 then z = 2 or 1 from eq
4
For first y=1,z=2 then from eq1 x= 4
So 9*4+1*7+2*5=53.... Satisfied
Now for second y=3 z=1 then from eq1 x=3
So 9*3+3*7+1*5=53 ......satisfied
So finally there are two solution of this question
Ans:(x,y,z)=(4,1,2) and (3,3,1)...
13) Y catches 5 times more fishes than X. If total number of fishes caught by X
and Y is 42, then number of fishes caught by X?

51) The total expense of a boarding house is partly fixed and partly variable with
the number of boarders. The charge is Rs.70 per head when there are 25
boarders and Rs.60 when there are 50 boarders. Find the charge per head when
there are 100 boarders.
a) 65
b) 55
c) 50
d) 45
Sol: let a = fixed cost and
k = variable cost and n = number of boarders
Solving above 2 eqns, 3000-1750 = 25k i.e. 1250 = 25k i.e. k = 50
Therefore, substituting this value of k in either of above 2 eqns we get
a = 500 (a = 3000-50*50 = 500 or a = 1750 - 25*50 = 500)
So total cost when 100 boarders = c = a + 100k = 500 + 100*50 = 5500
So cost per head = 5500/100 = 55
52) Amal bought 5 pens, 7 pencils and 4 erasers. Rajan bought 6 pens, 8 erasers
and 14 pencils for an amount which was half more than what Amal had paid.
What % of the total amount paid by Amal was paid for pens?
a) 37.5%
b) 62.5%
c) 50%
d) None of these
Sol: Let, 5 pens + 7 pencils + 4 erasers = x rupees
So 10 pens + 14 pencils + 8 erasers = 2*x rupees
Also mentioned, 6 pens + 14 pencils + 8 erasers = 1.5*x rupees
So (10-6) = 4 pens = (2-1.5) x rupees
So 4 pens = 0.5x rupees => 8 pens = x rupees
So 5 pens = 5x/8 rupees = 5/8 of total (note x rupees is total amt paid by
Amal) i.e. 5/8 = 500/8% = 62.5%
Ans: 62.5%
53) I lost Rs.68 in two races. My second race loss is Rs.6 more than the first race.

is in a box whose color is same as that of the ball in a yellow box. Red box has
green ball. In which box you find the yellow ball?
Sol: Yellow box can have either of pink/yellow balls.

if we put a yellow ball in "yellow" box then it would imply that "yellow" is also the
color of the box which has the red ball(because according 2 d question,d box of
the red ball n the ball in the yellow box have same color)
Thus this possibility is ruled out...
Therefore the ball in yellow box must be pink, hence the color of box contain in
red ball is also pink....
=>the box color left out is "green", which is allotted to the only box left, the one
which has yellow ball.
Ans: green
84) A bag contains 20 yellow balls, 10 green balls, 5 white balls, 8 black balls,
