Question #1

In a large school auditorium, the students are made to sit to watch the programmes. If the teachers make a row of students of 16 each, there will be 12 students left. If they make rows of 24 each, then there will be 20 students left, if they make rows of 25 each, there will be 21 students left and if they make rows of 30 each, there will be 26 students left. What is the minimum number of students present in the school?

  • PrepInsta Explanation

16 in a row --> 12 left
24 in a row --> 20 left
25 in a row --> 21 left
30 in a row --> 26 left

In all the 4 cases above, the remainder is 4.
(16 – 12) = (24 – 20) = (25 – 21) = (30 – 26)

Hence the required students = LCM (16, 24, 25, 30 ) – 4
= 1200 – 4
= 1196

Question #2

A solid cube made of steel is melted and recast such that its length, breadth and height changes as +10%, +10%, -20%. What is the percentage change in surface area of this cube?

  • PrepInsta Explanation

Let the surface area of each side of initial cube be 100.
The surface area of the resulting cuboid would be given by 2(lb + bh + lh)
So, ∆lb = 100 + 10% ---> 110 + 10% ---> 121
∆bh = 100 + 10% ---> 110 - 20% ---> 88
∆lh = 100 + 10% ---> 110 - 20% ---> 88
Therefore, new surface area = 2 (121 + 88 + 88) = 594
% change in surface area = a * (−6/600) ∗ 100 = −1 (Initial surface area = 6 sides x 100 = 600)

Question #3

3L of milk are drawn from a container containing 30L of milk. It is replaced by water and the process is repeated 2 times. What is the ratio of milk to water at the end?

A

D

  • PrepInsta Explanation

Milk left = Capacity * (1 – fraction of milk withdrawn)n
Therefore, milk left = 30 * 0.93
=> 30 * 9/10 * 9/10 * 9/10
=> 2187/100
So, Water in container = 30 – 2187/100
=> (3000−2187)/100
=> 813/100
Therefore, Milk : Water = 2187 : 813 = 729 : 271

Question #4

Arjun travels from A to B, a distance of 200 Km at the speed of 40 Km/hr. At the same time, Rakesh starts from point C at a speed of 20 Km/hr along a roadwhich is perpendicular to AB. Find the time in which Arjun & Rakesh will be closer to each other?

  • PrepInsta Explanation

Distance between the two at any time t, D = √((200−40t)2+(20t)2)
If X is minimum, then √will also be minimum and vice versa.
So, we need to minimize (200−40t)2+(20t)2
Or, we need to minimize 400 (20 – 2t)2 + 400t2
Or, we need to minimize (20 – 2t)2 + t2
Or, we need to minimize 400 + 4t2 – 80t + t2
Or, we need to minimize 5t2 – 80t + 400
Or, we need to minimize t2 – 16t + 80
Or, we need to minimize t2 – 16t + 64 + 16
Or, we need to minimize (t – 4)2 + 16
Or, t should be 4.
Or, the distance will be minimum in 4 hours’ time.

Question #5

B takes 12 more hours than A to complete a task. If they work together, they take 16 fewer hours than B would take to complete the task. How long will it take A and B together to complete a task twice as difficult as the first one?

D

17.65%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

Let us assume that A takes ‘x’ hours to finish a task. Then, B takes ‘x+12’ hours to finish the same task. Given, if they work together, they take 16 fewer hours than B would take to complete the task = ‘x-4’ hours.
A completes the task in ‘x’ hours => A finishes 1xth of the task in 1 hour.
B finishes the 1/(x+12)th of the task in 1 hour.
A and B finish 1/(x−4)th of the task in one hour .
Therefore, 1/x + 1/(x+12) = 1/(x−4).
Solving for x, we get (x+12+x)/(x2+12x) = 1/(x−4)
(2x+12)(x-4) = x2 + 12x.
x2 – 8x -48 =0.
x2 – 12x + 4x - 48 = 0
x (x - 12) + 4 (x - 12)
(x - 12) (x + 4) = 0. X=12 or x=-4. Only x =12 is possible, since x cannot be negative.
Therefore, when A and B work together they finish a task in x - 4 = 12 - 4 = 8 hours.
If the task is twice as difficult as the first one, they finish it in 2 * 8 = 16 hours.

TCS Verbal English

This topic has just been introduced in TCS and there are 10 questions and the time given is also 10 mins. There is no negative marking in this section.

Question #1

It's the ______________________ nature of experiential purchases that endears us to them. Often, they're not around long enough to become imperfect. And even if they are imperfect, our memories and stories of them get sweet with time. Even a bad experience becomes a _________________ story.

A

ephemeral, engaging

B

lasting, compelling

lasting, compelling

32%
C

fleeting, good

fleeting, good

48%
D

enduring, disquieting

enduring, disquieting

12%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

According to the second line, experiential purchases are not around long enough to become imperfect. So, straight away, we can rule out \'lasting\' and \'enduring\' as choices for blank 1. Both \'ephemeral\' and \'fleeting\' fit blank 1.

The choices for blank 2 are now narrowed down to \'engaging\' and \'good\'. At first glance, both of these seem to apply equally well to the given context. However, noting the article \'a\' before blank 2, we rule out \'engaging\'. So, the right pair is fleeting, good.

Question #2

In reality, most of us on this planet would rather preserve civilization than destroy it with climate change. To think of climate change as something that we are doing, instead of something we are being prevented from _____________, _______________ the very ideology of the fossil-fuel economy that we are trying to transform.

A

accomplishing, bolsters

accomplishing, bolsters

B

undoing, perpetuates

C

revoking, counters

D

ratifying, thwarts

ratifying, thwarts

13.64%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

Currently there is no PrepInsta Explanation.

Question #3

Even before newspaper editorials shrank into vestigial artifacts of a bygone era, their impact was ______________________. Editorial boards have long tended to have durable leanings which _________________ their persuasive power over partisan politics.

A

formidable, underpin

formidable, underpin

C

self-limiting, undermine

38.89%
D

negligible, bolster

negligible, bolster

22.22%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

Currently there is no PrepInsta Explanation.

Question #4

It is __________________ rhetoric that the government "shutdown" was devastating. In actuality only seventeen percent of the federal government was actually shutdown as a result of partisan _______________.

A

efficacious, discord

efficacious, discord

18.75%
B

specious, disagreement

specious, disagreement

18.75%
C

spurious, comity

spurious, comity

6.25%
D

facile, agreement

facile, agreement

56.25%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

Blank (1): The second sentence, which states that only seventeen percent of the government was actually shutdown, indicates the rhetoric referred to in blank (1) is not efficacious. Specious (apparently good but actually lacking merit), spurious (not genuine) and facile (superficial) all remain possibilities.

Blank (2): The obvious choices here are discord and disagreement. We have ruled out option A which has the word discord. So the correct answer is option B (specious, disagreement).

Question #5

Connoisseurs ____ sport know an uber moment when they have witnessed one. __________ greatness does not require a quorum, as the stands erupted that Friday on the Centre Court, Wimbledon welcomed with open arms Roger Federer, a player who can turn prose into poetry.

A

into, since

into, since

12.5%
B

of, while

of, while

31.25%
C

in, though

in, though

31.25%
D

on, now

on, now

25%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

Blank (1): The correct choice here is \"of\".

Blank (2):The words \"while\" and \"though\" both fit in this blank.

The answer choice B which has the word \"of\" for blank 1 and \"while\" for blank 2 is hence the right answer.

Question #1

In multiple inheritance, if class C inherits two classes A and B as follows, which class constructor will be called first:

class A{ }; class B{ }; class C: public A, public B{ };

A

A()

None of these

12.5%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

Constructor of class A will be called first. This is because the constructors in multiple inheritance are called in the sequence in which they are written to be inherited. Here A is written first, hence it is called first.

Question #2

Which among the following would destroy the encapsulation mechanism if it was allowed in programming?

A

Using access declaration for private members of base class

Using access declaration for private members of base class

44.44%
B

Using access declaration for public members of base class

Using access declaration for public members of base class

27.78%
C

Using access declaration for local variable of main() function

Using access declaration for local variable of main() function

16.67%
D

Using access declaration for global variables

Using access declaration for global variables

11.11%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

If using access declaration for private members of base class was allowed in programming, it would have destroyed whole concept of encapsulation. As if it was possible, any class which gets inherited privately, would have been able to inherit the private members of base class, and hence could access each and every member of base class.

Question #3

Which of the following statements are not correct with respect to Singly Linked List(SLL) and Doubly Linked List(DLL)?

A

Complexity of Insertion and Deletion at known position is O(n) in SLL and O(1) in DLL

Complexity of Insertion and Deletion at known position is O(n) in SLL and O(1) in DLL

28.57%
B

SLL uses lesser memory per node than DLL

SLL uses lesser memory per node than DLL

14.29%
C

DLL has more searching power than SLL

DLL has more searching power than SLL

28.57%
D

Number of node fields in SLL is more than DLL

Number of node fields in SLL is more than DLL

28.57%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

To insert and delete at known positions requires complete traversal of the list in worst case in SLL, SLL consists of an item and a node field, while DLL has an item and two node fields, hence SLL occupies lesser memory, DLL can be traversed both ways(left and right), while SLL can traverse in only one direction, hence more searching power of DLL. Node fields in SLL is 2 (data and address of next node) whereas in DLL is 3(data, address to next node, address to previous node).

Question #4

What are the conditions for an optimal binary search tree and what is its advantage?

A

The tree should not be modified and you should know how often the keys are accessed, it improves the lookup cost

The tree should not be modified and you should know how often the keys are accessed, it improves the lookup cost

25%
B

You should know the frequency of access of the keys, improves the lookup time

You should know the frequency of access of the keys, improves the lookup time

12.5%
C

The tree can be modified and you should know the number of elements in the tree before hand, it improves the deletion time

The tree can be modified and you should know the number of elements in the tree before hand, it improves the deletion time

25%
D

The tree should be just modified and improves the lookup time

The tree should be just modified and improves the lookup time

37.5%
  • PrepInsta Explanation

For an optimal binary search The tree should not be modified and we need to find how often keys are accessed. Optimal binary search improves the lookup cost.

Question #5

What happens when you pop from an empty stack while implementing using the Stack ADT in Java?

A

Undefined error

Round 1: Online Round

For TCS Previous Year Papers these are the following sections in TCS 2019 Placement Papers –

Do note that you need to do all the rounds well as all of them have sectional cut-offs in TCS Previous Year Placement Papers. Even if you can't score well in one round you won't be selected even though you had done the other rounds well.

Verbal English

This is round is of 10 minutes and 10 questions were there most of them were Fill the Blanks and Sentence Completion Questions.

TCS Questions on Quants & Reasoning

This section has quantitative questions. Please refer previous year TCS sample papers and prepare. Prepare for TCS specific quant topic, thanks for letting me know PrepInsta.

TCS C MCQ

This round is of 20 minutes. It is based on C language and please prepare all the basic concepts of C to clear this section.

Coding Test

This year we didn't have code in Command-Line Programming and we could code in any of the following languages - C, C++, Java, Python, etc.

Round 2: Technical Round

After TCS Written Round we had this face to face round where you will be tested what you have done in years of your engineering. I  had revised my engineering subjects basics. The person interviewing you may ask you your strong subject so please tell the subject that you have prepare well (I told C and Java).

I was asked to write a simple program to find all the prime numbers less than a number. I wrote a separate function for prime numbers and used a for loop to check all the numbers less than N, to check if they are prime or not. If they were prime I displayed the number. Then he gave coin weight balance puzzle which I stumbled with but after some clues, I understood the problem, but I couldn’t give an accurate solution. The next series of questions were from C, which I managed to answer. Some of my friends got questions from OS and DBMS too in TCS Previous Year Sample Placement Papers. It depends on your luck, so do prepare subjects like Networks, DBMS, OS, JAVA, C, C++  for tcs off campus sample placement paper.

For Non-CS/IT people questions were on projects resume and branch based questions like circuit diagram of the project and basic questions, definitions.

TCS Question Paper Round 3: Managerial Round

I was asked about my projects here. I was asked about my interests. My views and ideas of technology were tested. My friends had a few questions from programming here. This round basically checks your attitude and behavior. Please try to be the person whom you are, if you pretend here, the recruiters are smart enough to know that. If you don’t know something, then tell you are not sure about it. Also ask any query regarding the company when you are given a chance, failing to do so will show your lack of interest for the company in TCS 2019 Placement Papers.

Round 4: HR Round

After TCS Question Paper Round this round will be a round where your knowledge for TCS will be tested. Do prepare your introduction and also about TCS very well. If you had participated in  CodeVita or testimony, please mention that in your introduction. You should be able to convince the HR about why you want to join TCS. Again, try to be yourself here. If had done the other rounds well, then you are mostly in. Ask 1 or queries about the company or your role when you are given the chance. Before leaving, greet the person who was interviewing you and leave.

Proper aptitude and 2 week’s preparation is enough to get the job via TCS Previous Year Sample Placement Papers provided you are determined. I felt the first round to be toughest Solve as much as TCS Previous Year Sample Papers that will be very crucial So, prepare well, all the best! for both TCS off campus placement paper and On-Campus Paper.

Student Interview

When the TCS placements started, our college placement officer shared a link to apply for the job through nextstep.tcs.com. From this link, I received my hall ticket for test and the application form on 17 January.

The date assigned to me for my online test was 31st January at Sreyas Engineering and Technology College, Hyderabad. I started my preparation for the exam as soon as I received my exam details. I also started looking for previous questions to get an idea how to get selected for the exam. After a while, I came across PrepInsta Facebook page. I immediately sent them a message on Facebook and requested them to share TCS recent aptitude and programming sample questions. They quickly shared a document file with me containing 285 questions similar to the questions  asked by TCS in their selection process. I started preparing for the written test only from the provided PrepInsta document.

The first round of TCS was made up of four sections. The first one among them was verbal ability, followed by the aptitude test, programming concepts, and quantitative.

Round 1: Written Round

  • Verbal Ability Test

In this round, I had to solve fill in the blanks type questions. A passage containing some blanks was given to me and I had to fill in the answers. This round had negative marking as well.

  • Aptitude Test

This section contained 20 questions, out of which most of the questions were familiar as they were already present in the Prepinsta document. The rest of the questions were also not that tricky, and I had enough time to complete them. The time allocated for this section was 40 minutes, and every incorrect answer reduced 0.33 marks.

  • Programming Concepts

The next test section had some questions on programming concepts. This section had ten questions. Even in this section five question were similar from Prepinsta document. The programming round duration was also of 20 minutes.

  • Coding Test

The written test also included a coding test. I did not face many difficulties in attempting this section. I was good at coding and also had prepared some questions from the PrepInsta website.

On Feb 6, I received an email in which I was called for an interview round at MGIT Hyderabad on 10th Feb at 2:00 P.M. For this round, I was interviewed by three different people- MR, HR, and TR.

Round 2: Interview Round

After the writing test, I was ready for the face to face interview rounds. MR took the first one.

  • MR Interview

One of the questions that an MR asked me was, “If you want to start a company, what type it will be and what all constraints you will maintain”? To this, my answer was, “I would like to start an online shopping business like Amazon or Flipkart.” On this, she asked me some further questions.

  • TR Interview

The second was the TR interview in which the interviewer asked me questions about my technical skills. This round included questions on programming concepts such as

  • Java
  • Oops
  • Abstract classes
  • Access Modifier
  • Fibonacci Series
  • Palindrome Numbers

The technical round also included questions about the academic project I prepared during my last semester.

  • HR Interview

The final interview was taken by the company HR. Some of the questions asked were:

  • Tell me about yourself.
  • Why should I hire you?
  • What are your strengths and weaknesses?
  • Why do you want to work at our company?
  • Why TCS?
  • What type of projects is it dealing with?

The HR round can be a tricky part of the selection process, hence needs to be mindful while answering the HR.

Ques. In a village, every weekend, three-eigth of the men and one-third of the women participate in a social activity. If the total number of participants is 54, and out of them 18 are men then the total number of men and women in the village is:

a. 156

b. 228

c. 180

d. 204

Answer: A

Explanation:

Let the total number of men be x and number of women be y.

Total number of participants = 54.

Given that number of men participants = 18.

So, number of women participants are = 54 – 18 = 36.

Given that 3/8 of the men participate in a social activity. (3/8) x = 18 ⇒ x = 48

Also given that 1 3 of the women participate in social activity. (1/3)y = 36 ⇒ y = 108

Therefore, total number of men and women in the village = 108 + 48 = 156.

Ques. Find the number of perfect squares in the given series 2013, 2020, 2027,................, 2300 (Hint 44^2=1936)

a. 1

b. 2

c. 3

d. Can’t be determined

Answer: A

Explanation:

The given series is an AP with common difference of 7. So the terms in the above series are in the form of 2013 + 7k. We have to find the perfect squares in this format in the given series.

Given that 44^2 = 1936.

Shortcut: To find the next perfect square, add 45th odd number to 44^2.

So 45^2 = 1936 + (2 x 45 -1) = 2025

46^2 = 2025 + (2 x 46 - 1) = 2116

47^2 = 2116 + (2 x 47 - 1) = 2209

Now subtract 2013 from the above numbers and divide by 7. Only 2209 is in the format of 2013 + 7k. One number satisfies.

Ques. On the fabled Island of Knights and Knaves, we meet three people, A, B, and C, one of whom is a knight, one a knave, and one a spy. The knight always tells the truth, the knave always lies, and the spy can either lie or tell the truth.A says: "C is a knave". B says: "A is a knight". C says: "I am the spy". Who is the knight?

a. A

b. B

c. C

d. B or C

Answer: A

Explanation:

A= Knight, B= Spy, C = Knave Let us say A is Knight and speaks truth. So C is Knave and B is spy. So C's statement is false and B's statement is true. This case is possible. Therefore, A= Knight, B= Spy, C = Knave

Let us say B is Knight. This is not possible as A also becomes Knight as B speaks truth. Let us say C is Knight. This is clearly contradicted by C's statement itself.
