NEW PATTERN TCS PAPER 2013(28TH SEPT,2012)

Hi friends,

I got some questions from my friends which is asked in Tcs aptitude round. Hope it will be useful for you all. If you have some questions, share with me 

1. Which of the following numbers must be added to 5678 to give a remainder of 35 when divided by 460?

a)      980                b) 797                   c) 955                   d) 618

Solution:

797,

If you need of remainder 35, while dividing a number by 460. The Unit place of that number must be 5. So 5678+797= 6475

2. Raj writes a number of two digits exceeds four times the sum of its digits by 3. If the number increased by 18, the result is the same as the number formed by reversing the digits. Find the number?

a)      35

b)      42

c)       49

d)      57

Solution:

Equation we got from the question is

10X+Y =4(X+Y) +3  ==> 2X-Y=1

10X+Y+18 = 10Y+X  ==>x-y=-2

Solving above two equations we get, X = 3 and Y = 5.

So the number is 35.

3. 28a + 30b + 31c = 365 .Find a, b, c and a + b + c?

a)      1, 4, 7

b)      7, 2, 3

c)       1, 5, 5

d)      8, 7, 6

Solution:

It’s like sum of the number of days in a leap year.

“a” represents the number of months having 28 days

“b” represents the number of months having 30 days

“c” represents the number of months having 31 days

So

a =1 (February),

 b=4(April, June, September, November)

c=7(January, March, May, July, August, October, December)

 4. How many motor vehicles registration number plates can be formed with the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5(no digits being repeated) if it is given that registration number can have 1 to 5 digits?

a)      205

b)      100

c)       325

d)      105

Solution:

For one digit: 5 = 5 chances

For two digit: 5*4 = 20 chances

For three digit: 5*4*3 = 60 chances

For four digit: 5*4*3*2 = 120 chances

For five digit: 5*4*3*2*1 = 120 chances

Total chances = 5+20+60+120+120=325 chances

 5. A city in the U S has a basketball league with three basketball teams, the Arêtes, the Braves and the Deities. A sports writer notices that the tallest player of the Arêtes is Shortest than the shortest player of the Braves. The shortest of the Deities is shortest of the Arêtes, while the tallest of the braves is taller than the tallest of the Arêtes. Which of the following can be judged with certainty?

X) Paul, a brave is taller than David, an Arêtes.

Y) David, a Deities, is shorter than Edward, an Arêtes.

a) X only

b) Both X and Y

c) Neither X and Y

d) Y only

6.  A rectangle of height 100 squares and width 200 squares. Squares is drawn on a graph paper. It is colored square by square from top left corner and moving across in a spiral turning right. Whenever a side of this rectangle or a colored square is reached. Which square is colored last (give its row and column numbers). The bottom right square is on row 100, column 200?

a)      51,150

b)      51, 50

c)       50, 150

d)      50, 50

Solution:

1,1	==>	==>	==>	==>	==>	==>	==>
==>	==>	==>	==>	==>	==>	==>	||
||	3,2	<==	<==	<==	<==	<==	||
<==	<==	<==	<==	<==	<==	<==	<==

For (4, 8) rectangle, ends at (3, 2)

Likewise,

For (2, 4) rectangle, ends at (2, 1)

For (3, 6) rectangle, ends at (2, 5)

For (4, 8) rectangle, ends at (3, 2)

For (5, 10) rectangle, ends at (3, 8)

For (6, 12) rectangle, ends at (4, 3)

For (7, 14) rectangle, ends at (4, 11)

For (8, 16) rectangle, ends at (5, 4)

For (9, 18) rectangle, ends at (5, 14)

For (10, 20) rectangle, ends at (6, 5)

Analyzing the above 10 points:

We can get some idea that,

For Even number of rows, End points column increases 1 by previous column.

For Odd number of rows, End points column difference of the present column and the previous even number column.

For End point row, the value repeats two times from row 2.

In our problem, (100, 200) i.e.

Even number row,

So End point column value must be 50 for 200 columns and End point row value must be 51 for 100 rows.

For even number of rows and columns,

Condition: Column =2*Row

Endpoint (R, C) = {((Row/2) +1), Column/4}

Answer is (51, 50)

7.  George and Mark can paint 720 boxes in 20 days. Mark and Harry in 24 days and Harry and George in 15 days. George works for 4 days, Mark for 8 days and Harry for 8 days. The total number of boxes painted by them is

a)      252

b)      516

c)       348

d)      492

Solution:

One day work:

G+M = (1/20)*720 = 36 boxes;

 M+H= (1/24)*720 = 30 boxes;

 H+G = (1/15)*720 = 48 boxes.

Together:

  2(G+M+H) = 36+30+48 = 114

(G+30) = 114 /2=57 boxes

G= 27 boxes.

G‘s one day work is 27 boxes. So G’s four days work is 108 boxes

M+H‘s one day work is 30 boxes. So M+H‘s eight days work is 240 boxes.

So Total number of boxes painted = 108+240 = 348 boxes painted.

 8. Masha drives along the perimeter of the square field of side 10kms. She drive along the first side at 10 kmph along the second side at 20 kmph, along the third side at 30 kmph and along the fourth side at 40 kmph. Her average speed is?

a)      19.2 kmph

b)      18 kmph

c)       20 kmph

d)      30 kmph

Solution:

Total Average Speed = Total Distance / Total time = 40 / (1+0.5+0.33+0.25) = 19.2kmph

9.  A merchant buys 20 kg of wheat of Rs.30 per kg and40 kg wheat at Rs.25 per kg. He mixed them and sells one third of the mixture at Rs.26 per kg. The price at which the merchant should sell the remaining mixture, So that he may earn a profit of 25 % in his whole outlay is

a)      Rs.30

b)      Rs.360

c)       Rs.40

d)      Rs.37

Solution:

Cost price =20*30 + 40*25 = Rs.1600

Profit = 25 % of (1600) = Rs.400

Selling price = Rs.2000

One third of mixture is (1/3)*60 = 20 kg

Remaining mixture is 40 kg

2000 = 26*20 + 40*X;

X = Rs.37

 10) The mean of three number is 10 more than the least of these number and 15 less than the greatest of the Three. If the median of the three number is 5, then sum of the three is

a)      30

b)      20

c)       5

d)      25

Solution:

Let X is the greatest value, Y be the Middle value and Z is the least value.

(X+Y+Z)/3 = 10+Z = X-15;

If Y=5, X=25, Z=0. So the sum of the three number is 30.

General Tips To Overcome An Interview

So what if you are not a mountaineer. Or a keen hiker. You still cannot treat your interview like a careless morning trot along a jogger's path. Your jaw-jaw at the interview table is nothing less than a cautious climb up a mountain trail--which begins around your early childhood and meanders through the years at the academia before reaching a new summit in your career.And as you retrace your steps down memory lane make sure that you post flags at important landmarks of your life and career, so that you can pop them before the interview panel scoops them out of you. You don't want to be at the receiving end, do you?

Face the panel, but don't fall of the chair in a headlong rush-and-skid attempt to tell your story. Take one step at a time. If you place your foot on slippery ground, you could be ejecting out on a free fall.

So prepare, fortify your thoughts, re-jig your memory, and script and design your story (without frills and falsity). Without the right preparation and storyboard, you could be a loser at the interview. Here are a few preparation tips that books on interviews sometimes overlook.   

                                                        

Before the interview


1. Chronological Outline of Career and Education Divide your life into "segments" defining your university, first job, second job. For each stage, jot down :
The reason for opting certain course or profession; Your job responsibilities in your previous/current job; Reason of leaving your earlier/current job. You should be clear in your mind where you want to be in the short and long term and ask yourself the reason why you would be appropriate for the job you are being interviewed for and how it will give shape to your future course.

2. Strengths and Weaknesses

You should keep a regular check on your strengths and weaknesses. Write down three (3) technical and three (3) non-technical personal strengths. Most importantly, show examples of your skills. This proves more effective than simply talking about them. So if you're asked about a general skill, provide a specific example to help you fulfil the interviewer's expectations. It isn't enough to say you've got "excellent leadership skills". Instead, try saying:

"I think I have excellent leaderships skills which I have acquired through a combination of effective communication, delegation and personal interaction. This has helped my team achieve its goals."

As compared to strengths, the area of weaknesses is difficult to handle. Put across your weakness in such a way that it at leaset seems to be a positive virtue to the interviewer. Describe a weakness or area for development that you have worked on and have now overcome.

3. Questions you should be prepared for                                                                                  

Tell us about yourself.
What do you know about our company?
Why do you want to join our company?
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
How have you improved the nature of your job in the past years of your working? Why should we hire you?
What contributions to profits have you made in your present or former company? Why are you looking for a change?

Answers to some difficult questions :                                     

• Tell me about yourself ?
  Start from your education and give a brief coverage of previous experiences. Emphasize more on your recent experience explaining your job profile.
  
  What do you think of your boss?
  Put across a positive image, but don't exaggerate
  
  Why should we hire you? Or why are you interested in this job?
  Sum up your work experiences with your abilities and emphasise your strongest qualities and achievements. Let your interviewer know that you will prove to be an asset to the company.
  
  How much money do you want?
  Indicate your present salary and emphasise that the opportunity is the most important consideration.
  
   Do you prefer to work in a group?
  Be honest and give examples how you've worked by yourself and also with others. Prove your flexibility.

4. Questions to As                                                                                          

 At the end of the interview, most interviewers generally ask if you have any questions. Therefore, you should be prepared beforehand with 2-3 technical and 2-3 non-technical questions and commit them to your memory before the interview.

Do not ask queries related to your salary, vacation, bonuses, or other benefits. This information should be discussed at the time of getting your joining letter. Here we are giving few sample questions that you can ask at the time of your interview.

Sample Questions

Could you tell me the growth plans and goals for the company?

What skills are important to be successful in this position?

Why did you join this company? (optional)

What's the criteria your company uses for performance appraisal?

With whom will I be interacting most frequently and what are their responsibilities and the nature of our interaction?

What is the time frame for making a decision at this position?

What made the previous persons in this position successful/unsuccessful?

 5. Do your homework         

                                                                                                                    

 Before going for an interview, find out as much information on the company (go to Jobs Ahead Company Q and A) as possible. The best sources are the public library, the Internet (you can check out the company's site), and can even call the company and get the required information. The information gives you a one-up in the interview besides proving your content company or position.

Clearing the interview isn't necessarily a solitary attempt. Seek assistance from individuals who are in the profession and whose counsel you value most. Be confident in your approach and attitude; let the panel feel it through your demeanour, body language and dressing.

Getting prepared for your interview is the best way to dig deep and know yourself. You will be surprised that it would breed a new familiarity become more familiar with your own qualifications that will be make you present yourself better. All the best and get ready to give a treat.

  

Discretion abt written  Selection Process

Written Test:

Prepare from previous papers. It’s of the same pattern.Prepare wordlist from Barrons. There was no psychometric test.We had only 1 and a half hr to complete the paper. For quants, we had to write the answers and were not of multiple choices. Logical questions were bit tough.Main problem is the time shortage to complete it fully.

Interview

 There were around 8 - 10 panels for tech intrw held at TCS, Karapakkam, Chennai.Environment was excellent.

People from TCS were very soft and had a cheerful face.

In my panel, two persons of age around 35 – 40 yrs interviewed me.Tech intrw was held for around 55 min. Slightly drilling but easy.After clearing tech, I attended HR where one young man interviewed me.It went for half an hour exactly.Most of them were only personal questn and some tech Qs.On my time slot, 5 ppl attended in that same panel and only 2 cud get thro.

For another friend, the tech held for just 10min.They asked 2 gen. Qs like where he is from (Ambattur) and how he reached that office.Then 2 tech Qs 1) Shannons theory ? Ans: “I don’t know”2) Diff betn up85 & 86. He told correctly.He got selected.

What is the minimum possible number of members in any of the 3 communities?The answer is 5. Draw Venn diagrams for this problem and you’ll easily get the answer.

2.      There are 5 men and 11 women. How many ways can a panel of 16 be formed such that the number of men is not more than 3?The answer is 2256.(Use combinations – 11c11+5c1*11c10+5c2*11c9+5c3*11c8)

3.      FGHIJKLMN are 8 people. They need to be divided into2 groups. They’ll give you some 5 conditions and they’ll ask you how can one of those groups be paired? You have to make sure all the conditions satisfy both the groups and select an answer.

4.      I don’t remember them. This is a time and work problem. X does a job alone in 5 days, y does a job alone in 8 days. When x, y and z work together they complete the job in 3 days. How many days does z take to complete the job alone.

5.      If sum of the values along the topmost row, bottom most row, left most column, and right most column is all equal to k, find the value of k. They’ll give you the values of a,b,c,d,e and f. They’ll give you a 4x4 table.You have to substitute the values of a,b,c,d,e and f in such a way that the sum equals to k and you find k. Sudoku logic.

6.      What is the largest four digit numb that is added to (some number around 7500) which will be exactly divisible by 9,12,13,54?There where 4options like 9000,9565,6050,8000(None of them were divisible by 54 when the options were added up  with that number)So thought it was dummy

7.      There was two problem on rolling of 3dice and what is the probability if the sum of outcome is 13,10

8.      Some scenario was given saying that In a street in Tokyo the house are build according to the following condition. 1^st house is always older than second house soo second house should be larger than 1^st house..No two houses of  same sizein that street..soo find which is the new house will some Data sufiency
