My name is Gowtham pursuing my btech degree from Kluniversity, Vijayawada. I faced my first interview i.e TCS on 28th sunday where we attended for written test. The written test procedure of tcs is the easiest procedure where the patterns of questions is same for the last few years. But remember one thing the patterns are same but the values are different so my dear friends my kind request to all is please dont memorise the answer instead please learn the concept. The patterns that follow tcs is only 70 out of which I got 32 questions repeated out of 35.
Ok now regarding to my written test the procedure is
35 questions given and the time duration is 80 mins.
Calculators can be allowed.
For each wrong question 0.33 marks will be deducted.
The questions that I faced in my written test are :
Finally we waited for 5 hrs for the result and overall 500 members are qualified for the second round out of 800 members attempted.
Questions are:
1.In the reading room of a library, there are 23 reading spots. Each reading spot consists of a roundtable with 9 chairs placed around it. There are some readers such that in each occupied reading spotthere are different numbers of readers. If in all there are 36 readers, how many reading spots do nothave even a single reader?a)8 b)none c)16 d)15
Solution: 23 reading spots, Each reading spot consists of 9 chairs placed around it so There are somereaders such that in each occupied reading spot there are different numbers of readers. For each tabledifferent no of persons are sat,so for first table 1 person is sit,2nd table 2 persons are sit 36 readersmeans(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 so 8 tables are filled so 23-8=15 reading spots does not have single reader.

2.A man jogs at 6 mph over a certain journey and walks over the same route at 4 mph. What is hisaverage speed for the journey?
a) 2.4 mph b) 4.8 mph c) 4 mph d) 5 mph

Solution: 8c2

4.A toy train produces 10 different sounds when it moves around a circular toy track of radius 5 m at 10 m per min. However, the toy train is defective and it now produces only 2 different tunes at random. What are the odds that the train produces for consecutive music tones of the same type? a) 1 in 16 B)1 in 4 c)1 in 8 d)1 in 32
Solution: initially it produces 10 sounds and the defect came and now it produces only 2 different sounds and consecutively so there are totally 2 sounds and we have to select on sound and the probability is and it produces the same sound consecutively for 2 times so the probability becomes *1/2 ie

5.A toy train produces 10 different sounds when it moves around a circular toy track of radius 5 m at 10 m per min.

28)Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 9 + X + Y - Z Where X,Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanuwould like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes thisfor a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable tosubstitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play totheir optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be
a) 0 b) 27 c) 18 d) 20
Solution : Simply substitute the following value for the given equation
if the equation is X+Y+Z then substitute the value 11
if the equation is X*Y+Z then substitute the value 18
if the equation is X-Y-Z then substitute the value 2
Now the answer for the given question is
9 + 11=20

29)Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above the other.One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin tothe top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack.Alice starts and the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i belowthe top coin (0 = i = 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The provisois that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turnsneither player can make a 2-move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it,s a player,s turn thenthe player wins the game. Initially, the gold coinis the third coin from the top. Then find the valid game between alice and bob.
a) In order to win, Alice,s first move should be a 1-move.
b) In order to win, Alice,s first move should be a 0-move.
c) In order to win, Alice,s first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move.
d) Alice has no winning strategy.Ans: d

30)After the typist writes 12 letters and addresses 12 envelopes, she inserts the letters randomly intothe envelopes (1 letter per envelope). What is the probability that exactly 1 letter is inserted in animproper envelope?

Ans: b


Though I completed my written on 28th sunday , I faced my second round on Technical Round on 30th morning at 10.30 AM. To accomplish TR ,
one should thorough with the basics of their subjects . Especially computing branches should thorough with C , C++, DataStructures, OS , DBMS and Java. My TR went for 50 mins where the first question is Tell me about yourself .Everyone should practice the tell me about yourself question for atleast 20 times. Because as it,s the first question ur facing the way you answer impresses the hr as we know that first impression is the best impression.
interviewer: Tell me about yourself
me : answered well first my alma-mater, after my mini projects that I have done in my entire btech later about my family details. Please be thorough about your projects because some times the hr will ask only about your projects.
interviewer: what your interesting subjects?
me : I answered dbms.
Interviewer : He asked me five queries and also about normalization , anamolies, ACID properties , joins.
me : I answered almost all the questions. It was lasted for 20 mins
interviewer: Later he asked me OS concepts like memory management topics like paging , deadlocks, Critical Section problem, Bankers algorithm , dining philosophers algorithm
me : answered quite well
interviewer: asked about my projects
me : answered
interviewer : why only tcs?
me : answered
interviewer : what are your weaknesses
me : answered
I concluded my second round at 11.20 AM and waited for the result for 3 hours. Finally my result was displayed in notice board where I was selected to the third round.
I faced my third round at midnight 11PM and also the last person in my college to face the interview and also the hr was also very cool and friendly. I completed my hr round with very confidently.
And finally the result was announced on the next day and I was among the 301 students selected for tcs. Finally I want to glad the placement papers website which helped me a lot.
One final message to the people who are going to attend the interviews be sure and confident with what you answer to the interviewer don,t bother about your answer that is either correct or not answer confidently that is the key factor to face the interviews succesfully.
Thank you
