and He explained the problem.. using
mathematical
positions
of the knights like (x+1, y), (x+1, y+1)
and so on upto 8 points in which way the
KNIGHT
travels
in the CHESS BOARD?
4
marks * 5 Questions = 20 marks
1) if
SATURN
URANUS
---------------
PLANETS
In this Each LETTER represents a single
DIGIT.
Now
you have to find atleast 3 digits. no need to
find all DIGITS?
2) 1, 2, 3, 25, 50, 75, 100 using these
digits once
and
only once with basic operators you have make 81?
3) There are 11 Huge boxes, 8 large boxes,
8 small
boxes.
Now there is a table first someone put 11 Huge
boxes
on the table and in some of them he added 8
large
boxes, and then he put small boxes in large
boxes.
Finally he has left 102 boxes empty. Now How
many
large boxes were kept in huge boxes and small
boxes
were kept in large boxes. (Just similar to
this..
question… not reminded clearly… check it out….)
Ans: Key
Steps:
4) He gave one series based on the last 3
letters of
the SOLAR
PLANET SYSTEM keeping tow of them blank and
asked
us to find them. it was very easy.
SUN,
ARS, URY, ____, …______, UTO
Ans: RTH and one another (EARTH and some
thing)
5) A Problem on ROPES…
There
were some ropes that are of different lengths
and

TIME
how many ropes can be burnt in that time. (Just
Similar
to this…. Check out with some other friends).
Ans:
15
Marks * 1 Question = 15 Marks

All
the Best Friends……
I
have attended 4, 2 marks quesitons, and 3 four marks
questions.
and I have written the Topic basing on
Internet.
and I wrote first 3 programs and was trying
to
write the 4th program.
It
was a little Hard for me… hope you all do well next
based…
on this paper.
Hi
friends,
The
pattern was
1)aptitude:-
It was not multiple choice but fill in
the blank along with a reasoning for your answer.
2)
Essay Writing :-to testyour communication skills.
3)Open-Ended
Problem Solving: only one question
4)Programming:
4 programs-2 programs r to be written,1
to
findthe bugs given ina pseudo code,1 to find what a
program
does and its limitations.
32
out of approx.500 were selected for GD.
After
GD, there were 2 technical intrviews followed by
a Hr
interview.
around
17 were selected.
I got
the offer letter today.I have to join for
training
by Nov 17th
I
thank all the group members and especially Chetana
mam
who have helped me during my trials.With all your
help,I
got this job.
ALL
THE BEST for all the members who r in trials .

one
time, give an expression which will give the
answer
as 383.
==>
Ans:100*3+75+(50/25)^(2+1)
->
using the numbers 1, 2, 25, 50, 75, 100 Exactly one
time,
give an expression which will give the answer as
383.
->
volume of sphere is (PI)*(Theta) Cubic-meters and
Surface
area is (PI)*(Epslon) Square-meters And both
are 4
digit integer numbers. What is the value of
radius?
->
Inthe figure given below, Replace '?' mark by any
operator
(+, -, *, /, =) and if we leave as it is,
numbers
are considered together and forms either 2 or
3
digit numer. Generate an expression using some
symbols.

Analise the Programe
main(){
int x=1,y=1;
while( (x > 0) && (y > 0) ){
printf("%16d%16d",x,y);
x += y;
y += x;
}
}
->
Start from a random number, generate a sequence
such
that if number is odd multiply it 3 and add 1. If
number
is even, divide the number by 2. This Sequence
will
always cyclic with 4, 2, 1. In this sequesce,
find
the maximum power of 2 generaged in the sequence
and
print only the power, not the sequence.
->
Start with a random 2 digit number, The series is
generated
by multiplying the number by 2 and placing
the
last 2 digits as the next number. Series continues
until
one of the element repeats.

is
the source string and have to return maximum sub
string
which starts with alpha and ends with theta.

( I
don't remember exactly what they had given.I am
putting
it in my own words)

peach + y1 plum = z1 apple
x2
peach + y2 plum = z2 apple
(x1,y1
.... z2 are integer values)

Reply:
"i cannot tell u and left that place"
Find
which grp that man belongs to?
10)
obtain 277 from 3,25,50,65,100.use 4 arithmetic

11)
1#2=x ,2#3=y, 4#4=z
4@14=a,
5@15=b, d@e=f
( i
don't remember values for x,y,z,a,b,c,d,e,f)
find
(2#4)@5= ?
12)
(i don't remember what they had given.)
It is
just example for that question,
CODE
is encoded as DGBF
READ
is encoded as JHNV
Fins
"KOVAI"
2.
Essay(General).
==================
(Topic
given: India
should spend money on Atom bomb
and
Rocket OR for the welfare of poor.)
3.
Problem solving.
===================
(Problem
statement: How will u determine number of
Petrol
bunks in Madras.)
4.
Programming.(4 Qns)
===============
( we
can use any Programming Language for coding)
a)
They had given one function ,we have to find it
what
it does and also problem in the fn. and
how to
overcome
it.
double
what( double z, int y)
{
double answer;
while( y > 0 )
{
if(
y%2 == 1)
answer = answer * z;
y=y/2;
z=z*z;
}
return answer;
}
b)
They had given one Pseudocode.We have to find bug
in the
pseudocode.
I
don't remeber the pseudocode fully.But the
function of pseudocode is
"To
make a Robot to fetch a tumbler of
water"
c)
write a program to print all Armstrong numbers,
(abc=a^3+b^3+c^3)
(for
eg. 153=1^3+5^3+3^3)
d)
write a function witj the following conditions,
1)It should have one integer parameter.
2)If the value passed is -ve, return -1.
3)If the value passed is a perfect square, return
root
of that number.
4)If the value passed is a not a perfect
square,
return
that number itself.
