80 Questions will be repeated from the Previous TCS Papers«just learn the method from those papers..same model

questions.. first 2 paragraphs will be some twisty questions« like our arrangements questions« routes between
cities.. like that« and the last one will be on Data Interpretation«

You prepare Data Interpretation again from BARRON¶S«. but the remaining from R.S.AGARWAL-Reasoning«.
Or from Barron¶s 13th Edition

4. Psychometric Test:
This test comes up only if you qualify in the Aptitude test« This test consists of 150 questions which we should
answer in 30 minutes (of course, that much time is not required) Don¶t think that this test has no weightage.. there is
filtering in this test too« this test tests your psychology.. Remember among 150 many questions were asked again
& again in a
variety of ways.. so don¶t get trapped« be honest while attempting this test.. choose what you¶re your heart says.. it
will take you through the test..

moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack.

Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top
coin (0 = i = 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move
cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-
move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold
coinis the third coin from the top. Then

This type of Q's repeated 4times for me but values are different.

Q6. Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression
N=9+X+Y-Z

Where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu
would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a
variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value.
Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value
of N at the end of the game would be
a) 0 b) 27 c) 18 d) 20

The Q's concept is same but the equation of N's is changing.

Q7. Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them
is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly
moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack.

Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top
coin (0 = i = 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move
cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-
move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold
coinis the third coin from the top. Then

a) In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move.


b) In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 0-move.
c) In order to win, Alice's first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move.
d) Alice has no winning strategy.
Ans: d

Q8. For the FIFA world cup, Paul the octopus has been predicting the winner of each match with amazing success. It
is rumored that in a match between 2 teams A and B, Paul picks A with the same probability as A's chances of
winning. Let's assume such rumors to be true and that in a match between Ghana and Bolivia, Ghana the stronger
team has a probability of 2/3 of winning the game. What is the probability that Paul will correctly pick the winner of
the Ghana-Bolivia game?
a)1/9 b)4/9 c)5/9 d)2/3
Ans: 5/9

Test Paper :12


Paper Type : Candidate Experiences
Test Œate : 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 morning batch.

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

2 PORTANT: I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently and also read it
on www.freshersworld.com regarding the experience of other candidates. Many had to say that if you want to clear
the Aptitude Round, then you must attempt somewhere 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 just 16
questions and still made it through, because all 16 questions I answered were correct. I made no guess. Even one of
my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting 16 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
couldn't make through the written round. There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and all right, and he
also made it through. So, all I could make out was that TCS is selecting candidates 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 through, so I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35. Please do not guess or do not attempt if
you are not sure about your answer.

The computer based test had questions from:


Area 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 one question 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. I'd rather suggest everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data.

I don't remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical value). I'll share with u a few
questions such that you can understand what the question asked for.

Question 1: There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds. It makes 2 musical sounds after being defective.
What is the probability that same musical sound would be produced 5 times consecutively? ( 1 of )
Answer: 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/32
32 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 twice as 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 but when 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 fit, because the statement in the
question was pretty confusing.

Question 3: The ages of two friends is in the ratio 5:6. After how many years will the ages be in the ratio 7:8?
Answer: 10 years.

Question 4: (There was a long story, I'll cut short it). There are 5 materials to make a perfume: Lilac, Balsalmic,
Lemon, Woody and Mimosaic. To make a perfume that is in demand the following conditions are to be followed:
Lilac and Balsalmic go together. Woody and Mimosaic go together, Woody and Balsalmic never go together.
Lemon can be added with any material. (Actually they had also mentioned how much amount of one can be added
with how much quantity of the other; but that's not needed for the question.) All of the following combinations are
possible to make a perfume EXCEPT:
1) Balsalmic and Lilac
2) Woody and Lemon
3) Mimosaic and Woody
4) 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 took me some time to get to the answer.

Question 5: A girl has to make pizza with different toppings. There are 8 different toppings. In 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 made from the same rope?
Question 7: What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equation ax+by+cz+d=0. (I do not
remember the values of a,b,c,d)

Question 8: An athlete decides to run the same distance in 1/4th less time that she usually took. By how much
percent will she have to increase her average speed?
Answer: 33.33%

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 by attempting 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 = 5

19) This is very simple but a little bit twisted.

For the FIFA world cup, Paul the octopus has been predicting the winner of each match with amazing success. It is
rumored that in a match between 2 teams A and B, Paul picks A with the same probability as A's chances of
winning.

Let's assume such rumors to be true and that in a match between Ghana and Bolivia, Ghana the stronger team has a
probability of 2/3 of winning the game. What is the probability that Paul will correctly pick the winner of the Ghana-
Bolivia game?

a) 4/9 b) 2/3 c) 1/9 d) 5/9

20) People {a1, a2, ..., a36} meet and shake hands in a circular fashion. In other words, there are totally 36

such that the rest have shaken hands with at least one person in the set is

a) 12 b) 13 c) 18 d) 11

21) Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above the other. One of them
is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin to the top by repeatedly
moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack.Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of
moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top coin (0 ” i ” 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move
implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-
move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2-move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a
player's turn then the player wins the game.

Initially, the gold coinis the third coin from the top. Then

In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 0-move.


In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move.

Alice has no winning strategy.

22) There are two questions like below. He changed a little in values and statement.

23) A sheet of paper has statements numbered from 1 to 40. For all values of n from 1 to 40, statement
and says: 'Exactly and of the statements on this sheet are false'. Which statements are true and which are false?

a) The even numbered statements are true and the odd numbered statements are false.

b) The 39th statement is true and the rest are false.

c) The odd numbered statements are true and the even numbered statements are false.

d) All the statements are false.

24) After the typist writes 12 letters and addresses 12 envelopes, she inserts the letters randomly into the envelopes
(1 letter per envelope). What is the probability that exactly 1 letter is inserted in an improper envelope?

a) 0 b) 12/212 c) 11/12 d) 1/12

25) There are three questions on this model just changed statements.

26) One day Rapunzel meets Dwarf and Byte in the Forest of forgetfulness. She knows that Dwarf lies on Mondays,
Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and tells the truth on the other days of the week. Byte, on the other hand, lies on
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, but tells the truth on the other days of the week. Now they make the following
statements to Rapunzel - Dwarf: Yesterday was one of those days when I lie. Byte: Yesterday was one of those days
when I lie too. What day is it?

a) Thursday b) Tuesday c) Sunday d) Monday

27) India with a burgeoning population and a plethora of vehicles (at last count there were more than 20 million of
them) has witnessed big traffic jams at all major cities. Children often hone their counting skills by adding the
wheels of vehicles in schoolyards or bus depots and guessing the number of vehicles. Alok, one such child, finds
only bicycles and 4 wheeled wagons in his schoolyard. He counts the total number of wheels to be 46. What could
be the possible number of bicycles?

a) 25 b) 5 c)4

These are some questions. All are very easy but you may not get these repeated questions in paper but it's very easy.
