1) Given a collection of points P in the plane , a 1-set is a point in P that can be separated from the rest by a line, .i.e the point lies on one side of the line while the others lie on the other side. The number of 1-sets of P is denoted by n1(P). The minimum value of n1(P) over all configurations P of 5 points in the plane in general position (.i.e no three points in P lie on a line) is a) 3 b) 5 c) 2 2) Paul the octopus who has been forecasting the outcome of FIFA world cup matches with tremendous accuracy has now been invited to predict ICC world cup matches in 2011. We will assume that the world cup contenders have been divided into 2 groups of 9 teams each. Each team in a group plays the other teams in the group. The top two teams from each group enter the semi finals (after which the winner is decided by knockout). However, Paul has a soft spot for India and when India plays any team, Paul always backs India. Alas, his predictions on matches involving India are right only 2 out of 3 times. In order to qualify for the semi finals, it is sufficient for India to win 7 of its group matches. What is the probability that India will win the ICC world cup? a) (2/3)^10 b) (2/3)^9 + 8/3 * (2/3)^9 c) 8/3 * (2/3)^9 d) (2/3)^10 + 8/3*(2/3)^9 3) Toy train produces at least 10 different tunes when it moves around a circular toy track of radius 5 meters at 10 meters per minute.

There were total 35 ques. and total time of 80 mins.Some ques were repeated.Guys its very easy jst prepare da previous years ques papers.We did da same.All da bst.

1). A sheet of paper has statements numbered from 1 to 40. For each value of n from 1 to 40,

statement n says "At least and of the statements on this sheet are true." Which statements are

true and which are false? a)The even numbered statements are true and the odd numbered are false. b)The first 26 statements are false and the rest are true. c)The first 13 statements are true and the rest are false. d)The odd numbered statements are true and the even numbered are false. Sol:- ans:c Trick:-* atleast- first half s true n rem s false * exactly: 1 statement s true and rest r false * atmost : all statement r true If given: 1)"At least n of the statements on this sheet are false" A)First half are true and last half are false. 2)"Exactly n statements on the sheet are false" A)Last but one is true and rest are false 3)"At least n of the statements on this sheet are true" A)In this case first x statements are true and remaining false. x can be any integer. you can get it in options. In this case it is 13. C is right. 2)Given a collection of points P in the plane, a 1-set is a point in P that can be separated from the rest by a line, .i.e the point lies on one side of the line while the others lie on the other side. The number of 1-sets of P is denoted by n1(P). The minimum value of n1(P) over all configurations P of 5 points in the plane in general position(.i.e no three points in P lie on a line) is a)3 b)5 c) 2 d)1 ans:-5 3)A hare & a tortoise have a race along a circle of 100 yards diameter.the tortoise goes in 1 direction & hare in another.after the tortoise has covered 1/5th of its distance & that is too leisurely.the hare & tortoise meet when the hare has covered only 1/8 th of the distance.by what factor should the hare increase its speed so as it to tie the race? a)5 b)8 c)37.80 d)40

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. 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.

hii... my name is prakash ranjan.Im from Kalyani Govt. Engg. College.. TCS come in my college on 7th jan 2011. i want share some of my experience with all of u.... At first we have a aptitude test of 80 min.Its online.I just give u some tricks of some problems asked in aptitude... 1. There are two water tanks A and B, A is much smaller than B. While water fills at the rate of 1 liter every hour in A, it gets filled up like, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 in tank B. (At the end of first hour, B has 10

liters, second hour it has 20 liters and so on). If tank B is 1/32 filled of the 21 hours, what is total duration of hours required to fill it completely? ans.-here part filled is 1/32 then 1/32=1/(2)^5. so ans is 21+5. 2. 6 persons standing in queue with different age group, after two years their average age will be 43 and seventh person joined with them. Hence the current average age has become 45. Find the age of seventh person? ans.-Total age of 6 persons is x hours,after two years total age of 6 persons is x+12 Average age of 6 persons is after two years is 43 So (x+12)/6=43,then x=246 After 7th person is added then (246+7th person age)/7=45 7th person age = 69 3. One statement problem-in this problem if atleast all statement are true - first part true and last part false exactly all statement are true - second part true rest is false atmost all statement are true - all are false. 4. The hare starts after the tortoise has covered 1/5 of its distance and that too leisurely3. A hare and a tortoise have a race along a circle of 100 yards diameter. The tortoise goes in one direction and the. The hare and tortoise meet when the hare has covered only 1/8 of the distance. By what factor should the hare increase its speed so as to tie the race? in this problem atfirst find the ratio of the distance left to cover the turtle and distance by the hare. means-(87.5-20)/12.5=5.4 and then 87.5/12.5=7 and multiply these two 5.4*7=37.8 5. 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. ans.- in this problem there is 3 patern 1st X+Y-Z=11 X*Y-Z=18 X-Y-Z=2 u just add the to the no given. 6.- 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? ans.- hare the answer is - 2/3*2/3+1/3*1/3=5/9 7.-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? ans- 0 8.- There are two boxes, one containing 10 red balls and the other containing 10 green balls. You are allowed to move the balls between the

boxes so that when you choose a box at random and a ball at random from the chosen box, the probability of getting a red ball is maximized. This maximum probability is ans.- the tricks is - 1/2*1+(n-1)/(n-1+m)*1/2 here n is the no. which have to be max. and m is the another no. here m is green ball and n is red ball.here ans is 14/19 9.- A and B play a game of dice between them. The dice consist of colors on their faces (instead of numbers). When the dice are thrown, A wins if both show the same color; otherwise B wins. One die has 4 red face and 2 blue faces. How many red and blue faces should the other die have if the both players have the same chances of winning? ans.- here the ans is 3red and 3 blue. 10.- On planet zorba, a solar blast has melted the ice caps on its equator. 8 years after the ice melts, tiny plantoids called echina start growing on the rocks. echina grows in the form of a circle and the relationship between the diameter of this circle and the age of echina is given by the formula d = 4 * sqrt (t 8)for t = 8 Where the represents the diameter in mm and t the number of years since the solar blast. Jagan recorded the time of some echina at a particular spot is 24 years then what is diameter? ans- this is the simple problem just put the value of t and find d. 11.- A circular dartboard of radius 1 foot is at a distance of 20 feet from you. You throw a dart at it and it hits the dartboard at some point Q in the circle. What is the probability that Q is closer to the center of the circle than the periphery? ans.- here the tricks is (n/2)^2/n^2 here n is the radius of circle. 12.- 36 people {a1, a2, ..., a36} meet and shake hands in a circular fashion. In other words, there are totally 36 handshakes involving the pairs, {a1, a2}, {a2, a3}, ..., {a35, a36}, {a36, a1}. Then size of the smallest set of people such that the rest have shaken hands with at least one person in the set is. ans.- hare the tricks is if the handshake is circular and given no is even-then n/2 if odd then n/3. and if hand shake is non circular then n-1. 13.- 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. ans.- Ans is in order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move.(This is the final ans.) 14.- The citizens of planet nigiet are 8 fingered and have thus developed their decimal system in base 8. A certain street in nigiet contains 1000 (in base 8) buildings numbered 1 to 1000. How many 3s are used in numbering these buildings?

ans.- here the tricks is 8*8+8*8+8*8=192 (here the base is 8)if the base is n then n*n+n*n+n*n. 15.- Six friends decide to share a big cake. Since all of them like the cake, they begin quarreling who gets to first cut and have a piece of the cake. One friend suggests that they have a blindfold friend choose from well shuffled set of cards numbered one to six. You check and find that this method works as it should simulating a fair throw of a die. You check by performing multiple simultaneous trials of picking the cards blindfold and throwing a die. You note that the number shown by the method of picking up a card and throwing a real world die, sums to a number between 2 and 12. Which total would be likely to appear more often 8,9 or 10? a) 8 b) All are equally likely c) 9 d) 10 ans.- here the ans is 8. because 8 comes in 3 types(4+4,5+3,6+2),9 comes in 2 types(5+4,6+3),and 10 comes 2 types(5+5,6+4). 16.- How many of 14 digit numbers we can make with 1,2,3,4,5 that are divisible by 4.

Hi Friends,

TCS came to our college on 8th December. Totally 950 students appeared for TCS online exam and 480 are cleared. Aptitude questions came from previous questions papers only but they have changed the values study throughly all the 70th patterns questions available in the net and also don't mug any answers because they have totally changed the values. If you understand the concept of all questions then you can easily clear the online exam also take the sample online exam that is available in TCS portal because most of the questions are coming from that model only with values changed next round is Technical/HR round. There is no separate HR round and technical round. It is combined round. I'll post some of the questions i got in exam. 1. The IT giant Tirnop has recently crossed a head count of 150000 and earnings of $7 billion. As one of the forerunners in the technology front, Tirnop continues to lead the way in products and services in India. At Tirnop, all programmers are equal in every respect. They receive identical salaries and also write code at the same rate.Suppose 12 such programmers take 12 minutes to write 12 lines of code in total. How long will it take 72 programmers to write 72 lines of code in total? ( I got this ques 3 times with values changed) 2. Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 24 + 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(i got this ques 2 times with equations changed) Ans: 35 3. A sheet of paper has statements numbered from 1 to 40. For each value of n from 1 to 40, statement n says "At least n of the statements on this sheet are true." Which statements are true and which are false? a) All statements are false b) The odd numbered statements are true the even numbered are false c) All statements are true d) The even numbered statements are true and the odd numbered are false (like this i got another ques with stmts numbered from 1 to 10) 4. The citizens of planet nigiet are 8 fingered and have thus developed their decimal system in base 8. A certain street in nigiet contains 100 (in base 8) buildings numbered 1 to 100. How many 3s are used in numbering these buildings and give the answer in base 10 system? (my friends got same ques with give the ans in base 7, base 6, base 5etc) 5. A result of global warming is that the ice of some glaciers is melting. Twelve years after the ice disappears tiny plants, called lichens, start to grow on the rocks. Each lichens grows approximately in the shape of a circle. The relationship between the diameter of this circle and the age of the lichen can be approximated with the formula

d = 13 * (t-11) for t > 11 where d represents the diameter of the lichen in millimeters, and t represents the number of years after the ice disappeared. Using the above formula, calculate the diameter of the lichen, 36 years after the ice has disappeared. a) 468 mm b) 457 mm c) 325 mm d) 11 mm

6. A circular dartboard of radius 1 foot is at a distance of 20 feet from you. You throw a dart at it and it hits the dartboard at some point Q in the circle.

What is the probability that exactly 1 letter is inserted in an improper envelope? a) 11/12 b) 0 c) 1/12 d) 1/6 8. Alok is attending a workshop "How to do more with less" and today's theme is Working with fewer digits . The speakers discuss how a lot of miraculous mathematics can be achieved if mankind (as well as womankind) had only worked with fewer digits. The problem posed at the end of the workshop is How many 5 digit numbers can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (but with repetition) that are divisible by 4? Can you help Alok find the answer? a) 375 b) 625 c) 500 d) 3125 7.
