Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Question 2 i = 5i++ ++i --i i-- 5What will be the output if it is printed

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

took around 45 min or more for each person For me my interview gone for around 45 minMainly they asked questions on electrical only not on C C++ Java

Mainly i told to him about my project both BTech and MTech answer some HR questions

like tell me about yourself why you came to software tell me about TCS why you hadtaken power electronics if i reject you what will you do can you relocate your self some

applications of our branch ie power electronics and some day to day applications in it andsome basic electrical questions like kirchoffs laws ohms law motor principle generatorprinciple why transformer is used What are the recent trends in power electronics

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Question 2 i = 5i++ ++i --i i-- 5What will be the output if it is printed

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Question 2 i = 5i++ ++i --i i-- 5What will be the output if it is printed

Q7 Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game 20 coins are stacked one abovethe other One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins The goal is tobring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position inthe 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 impliesdoing 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 goldcoin happens to be on top when its a players turn then the player wins the game Initially

the gold coinis the third coin from the top Then

a) In order to win Alices first move should be a 1-move

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Q7 Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game 20 coins are stacked one abovethe other One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins The goal is tobring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position inthe 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 impliesdoing 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 goldcoin happens to be on top when its a players turn then the player wins the game Initially

the gold coinis the third coin from the top Then

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand Mimosaic go together Woody and Balsalmic never go together Lemon can be added

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Question 2 i = 5i++ ++i --i i-- 5What will be the output if it is printed

Question 3 How will you insert a new node between any two nodes in a linked list Write

the code

Question 4 How will you find a particular data in the linked list

Question 5 What is MD5

Question 6 What is RSA Explain its principle

Question 7 There is a triangle and 3 ants on each vertex of the triangle The 3 ants start to

move randomly along the edges of the triangle What is the probability that two ants willcollide

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

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 ibelow the top coin (0 = i = 20) We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing) Tproviso 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 its

players turn then the player wins the game Initially the gold coinis the third coin from the top Th

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Question 2 i = 5i++ ++i --i i-- 5What will be the output if it is printed

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Question 2 i = 5i++ ++i --i i-- 5What will be the output if it is printed

Question 3 How will you insert a new node between any two nodes in a linked list Write

the code

Question 4 How will you find a particular data in the linked list

Question 5 What is MD5

Question 6 What is RSA Explain its principle

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Question 2 i = 5i++ ++i --i i-- 5What will be the output if it is printed

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Question 2 i = 5i++ ++i --i i-- 5What will be the output if it is printed

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Question 2 i = 5i++ ++i --i i-- 5What will be the output if it is printed

Test Paper 8

Paper Type Candidate Experiences

Test Date 29 August 2010

Test Location SRMCEM Lucknow

Posted By Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM Lucknow on

29th August at 8am There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morningbatch

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes We were to attempt 35 questions Thequestions were based on logics some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical

IMPORTANT I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently

and also read it on wwwfreshersworldcom regarding the experience of other candidates

Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round then you must attemptsomewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through But this is not the case What I

figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy I attempted just16 questions and still made it through because all 16 questions I answered were correct I

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4754

made no guess Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting16 questions and all of them were right There were a few of my friends who attempted 17

question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses They couldnt make

through the written round There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and allright and he also made it through So all I could make out was that TCS is selectingcandidates on 100 accuracy ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you

should answer Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making throughso I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35 Please do not guess or do not attempt if youare not sure about your answer

The computer based test had questions fromArea and Perimeter Probability (Many questions from this chapter)

Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter)Pipes and Cisterns Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements I remember onequestion where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end

after 5-6 lines they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul Id rather suggest

everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data

I dont remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical

value) Ill share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the questionasked for

Question 1 There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds It makes 2 musicalsounds after being defective What is the probability that same musical sound would be

produced 5 times consecutively ( 1 of )

Answer 12 12 12 12 12 = 13232 will be the answer (My friends got similar question with 3 times consecutively for that

the answer would be 8)

Question 2 Peter and Paul are two friends The sum of their ages is 35 years Peter is twiceas old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now What is the present age of Peter

Luckily I had this question twice Initially I left it because of the confusing statement butwhen I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and

Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it

Answer 20 years I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fitbecause the statement in the question was pretty confusing

Question 3 The ages of two friends is in the ratio 56 After how many years will the agesbe in the ratio 78

Answer 10 years

Question 4 (There was a long story Ill cut short it) There are 5 materials to make aperfume Lilac Balsalmic Lemon Woody and Mimosaic To make a perfume that is indemand the following conditions are to be followed Lilac and Balsalmic go together Woodyand 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 thats not needed for the question) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT

1) Balsalmic and Lilac

2) Woody and Lemon

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 4854

3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and Lilac

Answer Mimosaic and Lilac I have made the question here really easy to understand But

the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer It tookme some time to get to the answer

Question 5 A girl has to make pizza with different toppings There are 8 different toppingsIn how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings

Answer 8 7 = 56

Question 6 A triangle is made from a rope The sides of the triangle are A cm B cm and C

cm (I do not remember the numerical value) What will be the area of the square madefrom the same rope

Question 7 What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equationax+by+cz+d=0 (I do not remember the values of abcd)

Question 8 An athlete decides to run the same distance in 14th less time that she usually

took By how much percent will she have to increase her average speedAnswer 3333

Question 9 A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs Horse takes 4 hours to

reach the pony If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph what s the average speed of the pony (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall I made through the aptitude round byattempting 16 questions Next was Technical Interview Round

Technical Interview

Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions

asked to my friends

Question 1 Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k]

Question 2 i = 5i++ ++i --i i-- 5What will be the output if it is printed

Question 3 How will you insert a new node between any two nodes in a linked list Write

the code

Question 4 How will you find a particular data in the linked list

Question 5 What is MD5

Question 6 What is RSA Explain its principle

4 In Tnagar many buildings were under residential categoryfor buildings they number as 1 to 100

For shops corporation numbered between 150 and 200 only prime numbers how many time 6 willappear in building numberingAns

For 1 to 10 - 1 six

2 to 20 - 1 sixSimilarly upto 59 we utilise six 5 times

from 60 to 69 (including 66) - 11 timesfrom 70 to 100 - 3 hence ans = 5+11+3 = 19Ans19

5 One grand father has 3 grand child Eldest one age is 3 times of the youngest child age Sum of two youngest child age is more than two of eldest one age Find the eldest one age Ans 15(we can easily predict from options as we take y as 15)

Ans His son

12 6 persons standing in queue with different age group after two years their average age will be43 and seventh person joined with them hence the current average age has become 45 Find the

age of seventh personSolution Here the question appear as an easy one but carried a lot of unwanted sentences andunwanted datas(i didnt mention above) in exam which may confuse you on solving technique

So now we can compute x from above equation (x = 41 6x = 246)Let now we compute y((6x+y)7) = 45 as we have value of x compute y

832019 Tcs Papers Original

httpslidepdfcomreaderfulltcs-papers-original 5354

Ans 69

13The ratio between the ages of two pwrsons is 65 and sum of there ages is 77 then how many
