Logical Ability
This section of the written test had 24 questions on coding and decoding, seating arrangements, blood relations, and puzzles.

Coding Test
In this section, two coding questions were given for which I had to write code either in C or JAVA. As I had a good command over JAVA, I chose to code in the same. The two coding questions asked in this test were:

Find whether the array is palindrome or not
Input 5 numbers in an array and find the Pythagorean triplets in them and print them.
