There are 5 packages. The weight of the 1st package is 500 kg and the weight of the 2nd package is 50% higher than the weight of the 3rd package whose weight is 45% higher than the 1st package weight. The fourth package at 360 kgs is 60% lighter than the fifth package. Find the average weight of all the five packages.

Explanation:

We have the weight of the first package = 500kg.

Weight of third package = 500 + 45% of 500 kg

= 500 + 45/100 × 500

= 500 + 225

= 725

Weight of second package = 725kg + 50% of 725

= 725 + 725 × 50/100

= 725 + 362.5

= 1087.5

Weight of fourth package = 360kg

We are given that weight of fourth package =40%of weight of 5 th package

Hence 360 = 40/100 × weight of fifth package

Weight of fifth package = 360 × 100/40

= 900 ks

Total weight of all packages = 500 + 725 + 1087.5 + 360 + 900

= 3572.5

Average weight = 3572.5/5

= 714.5 kgs

4. Rs. 600 are divided among A, B, C so that Rs. 40 more than 2/5 th of A’s share, Rs. 20 more than 2/7 th of B’s share and Rs. 10 more than 9/17 th of C’s may all be equal. What is A’s share (in Rupees)?

Explanation:

Let A, B and C denote A’s, B’s and C’s shares respectively.

A + B + C = 600

Given that,

A × (2/5) + 40 = B × (2/7) + 20 = C × (9/17) + 10

Consider,

A × (2/5) + 40 = B × (2/7) + 20

⇒ B = A × (7/5) + 70

Now consider,

A × (2/5) + 40 = C × (9/17) + 10

⇒ C = A × (34/45) + (170/3)

∵A + B + C = 600

⇒ A + A × (7/5) + 70 + A × (34/45) + (170/3) = 600

⇒ A × (1 + 7/5 + 34/45) = 1420/3

⇒ A × (142/45) = 1420/3

⇒ A = Rs.150

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 the size of the smallest set of people such that the rest have shaken hands with at least one person in the set is

24.03%

Explanation:
Let us take person a2 from the set. Then we have a1 and a3 have shaken hands with a2

But not a4 has shaken hands with a2 so we take a5 in the set thus a4 and a6 have shaken hands with the set but a7 has not so we take a8...thus we leave a gap of two people and select the third person in the set.
So answer is 36/3 = 12

When 2 dices are thrown together, there are a total of 36 possible outcomes.

Out of the 36 possible outcomes,

Only the following will give us favorable outcomes

(1,3) , (3,1) , (2,2) , (1,5) , (2,4) , (3,3) , (4,2) , (5,1) , (2,6) ,(3,5),(4,4) , (5,3),(6,2) and (6,6)

Hence total favorable outcomes = 14

Explanation:

Total possible outcomes = 36

Probability = Total favorable outcomes/total possible outcomes.

= 14/36
= 7/18

None of these

None of these

12.81%

Explanation:

Let quantity of solution sold be 1 litre

When the solution is sold for 297, the profit percent = 10%

Hence CP of solution = SP × 100/(100+P%)

⇒CP = 297 × 100/(100+10)

⇒CP = 270

Ratio of quantities of brand A and brand B is 3:7

Let their costs be 2c and 3c.

⇒ 0.3×2c + 0.7×3c = 270

⇒ 2.7c = 270

⇒ c = 100

Hence cost of Brand B = 3c = 300

A rectangular carpet has an area of 120 sq metres and a perimeter of 46 metres. The length of its diagonal (in metres) is:

13 m

20.08%

15 m

15 m

18.83%

17 m

17 m

53.97%

Explanation:

We know that

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (l + b)

Area of rectangle = l × b

Diagonal of rectangle = √ (l2+ b2)

Where l = length of rectangle

b = breadth of rectangle

According to the question

2 (l + b) = 46 m

⇒ l + b = 23 m ………… (1)

And

l × b = 120 m2 ………… (2)

Solving equation (1) and (2) we get

l = 15 m

b = 8 m

∴ Diagonal of rectangle = √ (152 + 82) = √ (225 +64)

= √289 = 17 m

Let the present age of purvi = x years

∴ Present age of Anil = 1.5x

Eight year hence age of purvi = x + 8 years

Eight year hence age of anil = 1.5x + 8 years

Explanation:

According to the question

⇒(1.5x+8)/x+8 = 2518

⇒ 27x + 144 = 25x + 200

⇒ 2x = 56

⇒ x =28 yrs.

Cognizant Student Experience

  • Name: Harsh
  • Branch: ECE
  • College: BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore
  • Type of Interview: On-Campus (6.5 LPA)

Student Interview

In 2020, Cognizant was hiring for 2 roles at a time.

Previously, they used to conduct on-campus drives for all the streams for the GenC profile(4.5 LPA). And after that, the CSE & IT students were allowed to sit for the higher package i.e GenC Next (6.5 LPA).

Eligibility Criteria to sit for CTS : 

  • No backlogs.
  • 60% throughout the academics.
  • Maximum 2 years gap allowed.
  • Year of passing - 2021
  • All streams were allowed.

The online test was conducted on 18th October’20 on the AMCAT platform. The link to the online test was sent to us 2 days ago. And the slot was from 12 am to the next day at 12 am. And you are free to give the test at any time within this.

After opening the link, you will be asked to fill a form stating all the important details, areas of interest, internships, and the need to upload your CV too. This process takes around 15-20 mins. After completion of the whole thing, you will be redirected to the actual test.

 

  • Round 1 ( Online Test) - 
  • Quants ( 24 qs)
  • Logical (25 qs)
  • Code Debugging (7 qs, languages - C, C++, Java, Python) -

I practiced a few qs from https://prepinsta.com/cognizant/automata-fix/ and trust me similar types of qs were asked. So if you are clear with the basics of any of these languages, I am sure you will be able to solve at least 2-3 qs. And with that can easily make for GenC.

  • Essay writing ( 1 ques) - 
  • If you win a lottery of 10 crores, what will you do?

If one can solve more than 5 qs in the automata fix section and score more or less good in aptitude, they will be selected for the higher profile.

I solved around 6 qs in the automata section and was allowed to sit for the coding round for GenC next profile. 

  • Round 2 - Coding Round (4 ques, around 2 hours) -

Competitive qs were asked in this particular round. So if one has a good practice of solving competitive coding qs, then that person can go through this.

I remember two of those ques - 

  • Ques :

Write a program to calculate the fuel consumption of your truck. The program should ask the user to enter the quantity of diesel to fill up the tank and the distance covered till the tank goes dry. Calculate the fuel consumption and display it in the format (liters per 100 kilometers)

  • Ques: To find the hamming distance.

Those who were able to solve at least 3 qs with all the test cases passed cleared this round. I was able to solve only one of these and was directed for a GenC interview not for GenC Next.

The interview happened at least a month after this coding round. The technical & HR interviews were clubbed together in around.

 

  • Round 3 - Interview 

Interview Ques : 

  • Tell me about yourself.
  • Difference between latches and flip-flop.
  • What is a multiplexer?
  • Projects you had done in these 3 years.
  • OOPs Principles.
  • Difference between C & Java.
  • Garbage Collection in Java.
  • Applications of DSP.
  • Write a program to check whether the number is Armstrong or not.
  • Difference between array and linked list.
  • Recent technologies that you are aware of.
  • Gave 3-4 aptitude qs.
  • Why CTS?
  • Any issues with relocation?

It was more of a technical and 2-3 qs were from HR. I was from Electronics and made this round.

Status: SELECTED ( for GenC profile)

Cognizant

I had used PrepInsta to prepare for Cognizant by joining their Online class. The classes were wonderful, I was very weak in coding and Atulya and Manish sir taught that really well. I would say I was 0 in coding before joining the online classes and after completion, I was very confident. I was finally selected in Cognizant with their help, around 60% of the questions in the exam were the same from PrepInsta. Finally, I didn't join Cognizant even though I had an offer from them. But, I joined Deloitte.
