  • PrepInsta Explanation

Explanation:

=49/10 + 3/11 + 7/15

=(1617+90+154)/330=  1861/330

Question #2

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.

  • A

    714.5 kgs

    714.5 kgs 18.6%
  • B

    728.3kgs

    728.3kgs 27.91%
  • C

    725.9kgs

    725.9kgs 13.95%
  • D

    716.6 kgs

    716.6 kgs 13.95%
  • E

    None of these

    None of these 25.58%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

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

Question #3

What will come in place of question mark (?) in the following question?

38% of 4500 - 25% of? = 1640

  • A

    260

    260 16.67%
  • B

    270

    270 14.29%
  • C

    280

    280 61.9%
  • D

    None of these

    None of these 7.14%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

Explanation: 38% of 4500- 25% of ? = 1640

⇒ ((38×4500)/100) − (25x/100) =1640

⇒ x = 280

Question #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)?

  • A

    150

    150 24.14%
  • B

    170

    170 24.14%
  • C

    200

    200 27.59%
  • D

    280

    280 13.79%
  • E

    180

    180 10.34%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

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

Question #5

There are 12 boys and 15 girls. How many different dancing groups can be formed with 2 boys and 3 girls.

  • A

    30030

    30030 58.06%
  • B

    35060

    35060 22.58%
  • C

    35565

    35565 12.9%
  • D

    31084

    31084 6.45%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

Explanation:

Selecting 2 boys from a group of 12 and correspondingly selecting 3 girls from a group of 15 girls

12C2 × 15C3 = 30030 ................... (nCr = { n!/[r! × (n-r)!]})
Hence option (A)

Question #6

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

  • A

    18

    18 42.31%
  • B

    9

    9 19.23%
  • C

    24

    24 19.23%
  • D

    12

    12 19.23%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

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

Question #7

Two dice are thrown together.W hat is the probability that the sum of the number on the two faces is divisible by 4 or 6.

  • A

    9/16

    9/16 27.27%
  • B

    1/2

    1/2 27.27%
  • C

    7/18

    7/18 36.36%
  • D

    11/18

    11/18 9.09%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

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

Question #8

A fuel dealer mixes two brands of fuel which cost in the ratio 2:3. A solution containing 30% Brand A and remaining Brand B yields a profit of 10% when sold at RS 297. What is the cost of brand B?

  • A

    300

    300 31.82%
  • B

    208

    208 18.18%
  • C

    262

    262 36.36%
  • D

    354

    354 4.55%
  • E

    None of these

    None of these 9.09%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

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

Question #9

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

  • A

    11 m

    11 m 21.05%
  • B

    13 m

    13 m 31.58%
  • C

    15 m

    15 m 10.53%
  • D

    17 m

    17 m 36.84%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

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

Question #10

At present Anil is 1.5 times Purvi’s age. Eight years hence, the respective ratio between Anil and Purvi’s ages then will be 25: 18. What is Purvi’s Present age?

  • A

    50 years

    50 years 5%
  • B

    28 years

    28 years 50%
  • C

    42 years

    42 years 25%
  • D

    None of these

    None of these 20%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

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.

CTS Aptitude Questions and Answers

Cognizant Student Experience

  • Name: Meenakshi Pillai
  • Branch: ECE
  • College: BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore
  • Type of Interview: On-Campus (3.38 LPA)

Student Interview

Two months back the placement cell of our college notified all the final year students that Cognizant will be conducting a recruitment drive in our college soon. Immediately, everyone applied for it. But due to the eligibility criteria of a minimum 60% in 10th, 12th, and graduation and no existing backlogs only a few students were eligible for the drive. Fortunately, I was one of those few students. The CTS selection process had 3rounds;

  1. Written Test
  2. Technical Interview
  3. HR Interview

Round 1- Written Test

The test contained 3 sections.

Sections Questions Time Syllabus
Verbal Ability 22 18 mins Synonyms, antonyms, Para-jumbles, comprehension, sentence correction, grammar etc.
Quantitative Ability 16 16 mins Number system, Profit, and loss, percentage, time and work, speed and distance, etc.
Reasoning Ability 24 35 mins Coding and decoding, arrangements, blood relations, data sufficiency, syllogism, etc.

Along with this there was a new section in Cognizant Coding Question was there, which was CTS Automata Fix Questions which had 7 questions in 20 mins.

Overall the difficulty level of the test was moderate, and since I already practiced such questions on PrepInsta, so, I was able to solve most of the problems. Luckily, I cleared the cut-off and was shortlisted for the technical interview.

Round 2-Technical Interview

As soon as I entered the room, the interviewer asked me to sit and immediately started asking technical questions. I got nervous, but still, I tried to be calm and composed. Mainly, he was testing my confidence level. And luckily, I was able to maintain that confidence. Then he asked me to introduce myself and eventually we had a friendly conversation.

  1. Which was your favorite subject in engineering?
  2. You are an ECE student why do you want to work in the IT domain?
  3. What do you know about Cognizant?
  4. Tell me something about your Project.
  5. What is a pointer?
  6. Distinguish between C++ and JAVA.
  7. What are objects?

The technical interview was straightforward as fundamental questions were only asked. I was able to answer all the questions and so was shortlisted for the HR round.

Round 3-HR Interview

HR primarily evaluated my communication skills and confidence by asking some general questions related to my personal life.

  1. Tell me something about yourself.
  2. Why do you want to join Cognizant?
  3. Do you want to pursue higher education?
  4. What are your hobbies?
  5. Suppose you win a lottery of Rs. 10 Lakh, how are you going to spend it?
  6. What are your expectations from this job?

At last, the HR informed me about night shifts, relocation, and other conditions to which I agreed. He asked me if I had any questions. I asked him to give me feedback about my interview. He said you need to work on your communication skills and rest all is great. I thanked him and left.

A week later, results were declared and fortunately, I reserved my seat at Cognizant, in short, I was selected.

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.
