18.65%

1050

1050

20.29%

525

525

33.67%

 

Solution: Option D
Explanation:

If the question states x, y have to be distinct, then the best solution would be x = 350, y = 700, HCF = 350.

So the HCF is 525.

The question is "What is the maximum value of the HCF between x and y?"
Hence the answer is "525"

Choice D is the correct answer.

Solution: Option C

Explanation:

Any factor of this number should be of the form 2a * 5b * 7c.
For the factor to be an odd number,
a should be 0.
b can take values 0, 1, 2, 3.
and c can take values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Total number of odd factors = 4 * 5 = 20.

22x will be a triangle if x is 1, 2 or 3 (trial and error).
44x is a triangle only if x is 1.
1. 221 is acute. 12 + 22 > 22
2. 222 is equilateral. So acute.
3. 223 is obtuse. 22 + 22 < 32
4. 144 is acute. 12 + 42 > 42

The question is " x, y, z are integer that are side of an obtuse-angled triangle. If xy = 4, find z."
And so, the third side has to be 3

Hence, the answer is 3.

Solution: Option D

Explanation:
Let the total distance be x, then

[{(2/3) x }/6 ] + [{(1/3) x }/7 ] = 7/5
x/9 + x/21 = 7/5
7x = 63
x = 9
Therefore, total distance = 6 km

5.22%

Solution:10%
Explanation:
Given:
Sum of money amounts in 2 yrs = Rs. 2420
Sum of money amounts in 3 yrs = Rs. 2662
So, interest on Rs.2420 for 1 yr = 2662 - 2420
= Rs. 242
SI = PNR/100
242 = (2420 x 1 x R)/100
R = (242 x 100)/2420
R = 10%.

Solution: Option D
Explanation:

If the question states x, y have to be distinct, then the best solution would be x = 350, y = 700, HCF = 350.

So the HCF is 525.

The question is "What is the maximum value of the HCF between x and y?"
Hence the answer is "525"

Choice D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Any factor of this number should be of the form 2a * 5b * 7c.
For the factor to be an odd number,
a should be 0.
b can take values 0, 1, 2, 3.
and c can take values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Total number of odd factors = 4 * 5 = 20.

2. 222 is equilateral. So acute.
3. 223 is obtuse. 22 + 22 < 32
4. 144 is acute. 12 + 42 > 42

The question is " x, y, z are integer that are side of an obtuse-angled triangle. If xy = 4, find z."
And so, the third side has to be 3

Hence, the answer is 3.

Sum of money amounts in 3 yrs = Rs. 2662
So, interest on Rs.2420 for 1 yr = 2662 - 2420
= Rs. 242
SI = PNR/100
242 = (2420 x 1 x R)/100
R = (242 x 100)/2420
R = 10%.

Cognizant Interview Experience

  • Name – Sankalp
  • College – Kalinga Institute of Technology

I joined PrepInsta by purchasing their Prime Video subscription for Cognizant and after a week or so they brought us to my knowledge that Cognizant is going to change their aptitude pattern this year.

They helped me throughout the course, and here I am placed with Cognizant GenC Next profile.

Let me share my interview experience in brief :

Roles for which company used to hire in on-campus :

  • GenC Profile (normal package)
  • GenC Next Profile (higher package)

Round 1(platform – Amcat) :

  • General Aptitude: Basic aptitude questions from mathematics, logical reasoning.
    • Quants- 24 Ques
    • Logical- 25 Ques
  • Code debugging ( 20 mins for 7 qs ): Need to attempt at least 6 questions from this section to go for GenC Next profile.
  • Languages allowed : C,C++,java,python.
  • Essay writing ( newly introduced ): Situational-based essay.
  • Qs:  Turning Points in your college life.

Cleared aptitude for GenC Next profile. Out of 209 students, only 10 cleared this round.

Round 2 ( platform: Hackerrank, 4 qs, 120 mins ) :

  • 2 easy qs and 2 medium questions.
  • 10 + test cases for each question.

Can give an overview of what type of question were there :

  1. Given some projects and each project consisted of some modules. Each module needs to be completed in 1 week, but we cannot complete two modules of the same project consecutively. Given the number of weeks, find the maximum no of modules that can be completed.
  2. Find the hamming distance between two integers.
  3. Given a boolean 2D matrix, find the number of islands. A group of connected 1s forms an island.

For example :

Input : mat[][] = {{1, 1, 0, 0, 0},

{0, 1, 0, 0, 1},

{1, 0, 0, 1, 1},

{0, 0, 0, 0, 0},

{1, 0, 1, 0, 1}}

Output: 5

You need to solve at least 3 questions to clear this round.

Round 3 (Technical and HR Interview, around 40 minutes) :

  • Tell me about yourself.
  • Final Year project
  • Error handling in C++
  • Explain the principles of OOPs.
  • Tell me the OSI Layers.
  • Latest technologies that are trending in the IT industry.
  • Why IT over CSE?

  • What are the skills required to be an IT professional?
  • If you win a lottery of 1 crore, what will you do with that money?

  • Any questions for us?

Before the interview, I checked the HR questions from https://prepinsta.com/interview-preparation/hr-interview/

That’s all, at the end 2 were selected for the GenC Next profile, and fortunately, I was among them.

  • Souvik

    Solution: Option D

    Explanation:
    Let the total distance be x, then

    [{(2/3) x }/6 ] + [{(1/3) x }/7 ] = 7/5
    x/9 + x/21 = 7/5
    7x = 63
    x = 9
    Therefore, total distance = 6 km

    how is this possible!!??
