3.AND A PASSAGE
QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE SECTION
1. Two pencils costs 8 cents, then 5 pencils cost how much
Sol: 2 pencils è 8 cents => 1 pencil è 4 cents
Therefore 5 pencils cost = 5 * 4 = 20 cents.
2. A work is done by two people in 24 min. one of them can do this work a lonely in 40 min. how much time required to do the same work for the second person.
Sol: (A+B) can do the work in = 1/24 min.
A alone can do the same work in = 1/40 min.
B alone can do the same work in = (A+B)’s – A’s = 1/24 – 1/40 = 1/60
Therefore, b can do the same work in = 60 min.
3.A car is filled with four and half gallons of oil for full round trip. Fuel is taken 1/4 gallon more in going than coming. What is the fuel consumed in coming up?
Sol Before the trip, car is filled with = 4 ½ gallon of oil
Let ‘X’ be the quantity of fuel consumed for the trip in one direction
The fuel consumed while going = X + ¼
The fuel consumed while coming = X
Therefore, the fuel consumed for the trip = (X + ¼) + X = 4 ½
ð 2X + ¼ = 4 ½ => 2X = 4 ½ - ¼ => 2X = 4 ¼ => X= 2. approx
Therefore the fuel consumed while coming = 2 gallon.

a) 120 miles
b) Between 120 and 140 miles
c) 160 miles
Answer: 120 miles.
6. A person was fined for exceeding the speed limit by 10mph. Another person was also fined for exceeding the same speed limit by twice the same. If the second person was traveling at a speed of 35 mph, find the speed limit.
Sol: Let ‘x’ be the speed limit
Person ‘A’ was fined for exceeding the speed limit by = 10mph
Person ‘B’ was fined for exceeding the speed limit by = twice of ‘A’
= 2*10mph=20mph given that the second person was traveling at the speed of 35mph => 35mph – 20mph = 15mph
Therefore the speed limit is =15 mph.

3.AND A PASSAGE
QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE SECTION
1. Two pencils costs 8 cents, then 5 pencils cost how much
Sol: 2 pencils è 8 cents => 1 pencil è 4 cents
Therefore 5 pencils cost = 5 * 4 = 20 cents.
2. A work is done by two people in 24 min. one of them can do this work a lonely in 40 min. how much time required to do the same work for the second person.
Sol: (A+B) can do the work in = 1/24 min.
A alone can do the same work in = 1/40 min.
B alone can do the same work in = (A+B)’s – A’s = 1/24 – 1/40 = 1/60
Therefore, b can do the same work in = 60 min.
3.A car is filled with four and half gallons of oil for full round trip. Fuel is taken 1/4 gallon more in going than coming. What is the fuel consumed in coming up?
Sol Before the trip, car is filled with = 4 ½ gallon of oil
Let ‘X’ be the quantity of fuel consumed for the trip in one direction
The fuel consumed while going = X + ¼
The fuel consumed while coming = X
Therefore, the fuel consumed for the trip = (X + ¼) + X = 4 ½
ð 2X + ¼ = 4 ½ => 2X = 4 ½ - ¼ => 2X = 4 ¼ => X= 2. approx
Therefore the fuel consumed while coming = 2 gallon.

a) 120 miles
b) Between 120 and 140 miles
c) 160 miles
Answer: 120 miles.
6. A person was fined for exceeding the speed limit by 10mph. Another person was also fined for exceeding the same speed limit by twice the same. If the second person was traveling at a speed of 35 mph, find the speed limit.
Sol: Let ‘x’ be the speed limit
Person ‘A’ was fined for exceeding the speed limit by = 10mph
Person ‘B’ was fined for exceeding the speed limit by = twice of ‘A’
= 2*10mph=20mph given that the second person was traveling at the speed of 35mph => 35mph – 20mph = 15mph
Therefore the speed limit is =15 mph.

B -> 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
C -> 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0
Find ((A - C) u B) =?
Sol): To find A-C, We will find 2's compliment of C and them add it with A,
That will give us (A-C)
2's compliment of C=1's compliment of C+1
=11000101+1=11000110
A-C=11000101+11000110
=10001001
Now (A-C) U B is .OR. Logic operation on (A-C) and B
10001001 .OR. 00110011

While moving toward d room I tied up m di advice along wid m dat “be confident, have a pleasing smile on a face & forget dat u are not knowing dis or dat. Just be patient & composed”. If u are getting nervous den pray 2 god. Around 1pm I entered d room .dere was only one panel of d interviewer. I wished him & he asked me 2 hv a seat.
Sir: so Priyal how ar u?
Me: I m fine sir.
Sir: he saw m resume & den asked me about m presentation. (Be prepared with yr resume fully, each & every aspect of it as dey can ask technical or hr, depends, and was asked 4m m frnds)
Me: I was unable 2 study before m interview but I remembered a part of it, so told him

Sir: he switched to Electronics- diode, its working, transistors, deir practical life applications
Me: I answered but unable 2 give d application of diode.
Sir: he den asked abt languages?
Me: I said dat I don’t know any, not even d basics (but u should prepare wid at least d basics of C).

Ø Be confident on yr answers.
Ø Always say sorry when u ar not getting something.
Ø Keep yr voice pitch to a normal value as I was a bit loud initially, so d sir pointed out & told me to low down m voice. I apologize to him wid a smile & corrected m mistake.

While moving toward d room I tied up m di advice along wid m dat “be confident, have a pleasing smile on a face & forget dat u are not knowing dis or dat. Just be patient & composed”. If u are getting nervous den pray 2 god. Around 1pm I entered d room .dere was only one panel of d interviewer. I wished him & he asked me 2 hv a seat.
Sir: so Priyal how ar u?
Me: I m fine sir.
Sir: he saw m resume & den asked me about m presentation. (Be prepared with yr resume fully, each & every aspect of it as dey can ask technical or hr, depends, and was asked 4m m frnds)
Me: I was unable 2 study before m interview but I remembered a part of it, so told him
Sir: he den asked m abt NANO?

Have u filled d form? I said no. so she told me 2 go downstairs & ask 4r a form. Fill it & wait 4r HR interview.
From m experience & m frnds (as I gather information 4m dem):
Ø Plz have command on d basics of al d subject bcoz dey can ask anything, can’t predict. Always study properly during academics 4m proper books as it helped m dere during microprocessors questions.
Ø Be confident on yr answers.
Ø Always say sorry when u ar not getting something.
Ø Keep yr voice pitch to a normal value as I was a bit loud initially, so d sir pointed out & told me to low down m voice. I apologize to him wid a smile & corrected m mistake.
Ø Keep yr body posture straight while u are seating on d chair.
Ø Always give yr answer 2 d point. Don’t try to make long stories.
HR INTERVIEW:
When I cam down to give HR, I cam 2 know dat deir is no other form (Except d employment form dat u ar given after written test). Dat mam asked m abt d form so I told m mistake, she told dat it’s ok…. Suddenly I was called 4r HR. I was waiting outside d room 4r m chance but d interviewer asked 4r some other girl called neha………
Hence I was asked 2 wait & finally I was called around 3:10 pm 4r HR.
I entered d room .dere were two panels of interviewer- mam & sir. I wished both &was asked 2 take m seat.

Sir: den he asked m abt m seminar, what did u learnt 4m dat.
Me: I told & gave some gud point regarding d company growth.
Mam: didn’t u recognize d speaker?
Me: yes mam I recognized. (Actually d sir who took m interview was only d speaker at dat time of seminar).
Mam: wat u says abt hard work?
Me: I said dat yr smart work can only pay 4r yr hard work.
Mam: quote some example?
Me: I gave.
Sir: did u know anything abt software?
Me: not much
Sir: Y? U got time since den?
Me: I explained 2 him & accepted m fault.
Sir: if yr family didn’t permit u to go outside den?
Me: I answered very calmly & gave 1 point “be true & honest 2 yourself”. (Dat was something gud regarding m behalf, I thought).
Mam: ask m abt m hobby?

answering.

INTERVIEW-
We had just 1 combined tech and HR interview. You might have 2 rounds. For tech interview my sincere advice is that BE THOROUGH WITH YOUR BRANCH SUBJECTS! Out of the 4 computer subjects(c, c++, ds and rdbms) prepare any one thoroughly and atleast the basics of other 3.
For HR interview prepare some general ques like:
1. Tell me about yourself
2. Strength and weakness
3. Why TCS
4. Why IT (for non-stream students)
5. Where you see yourself after 5 years
6. Hobbies and interests
7. Your idol and why
INTERVIEW TIPS-
1. Dress properly
2. ALWAYS have a smile on your face
3. Be confident and enthusiastic
4. ALWAYS be polite and humble
5. NEVER bluff. If you don’t know something tell them politely
6. ALWAYS try to lead the interview
7. During tech interview, ALWAYS explain them the concept. This will also show them your communication skill.
8. NEVER EVER argue with the interviewer
So friends, BEST OF LUCK for your campus recruitment. BE CONFIDENT AND YOU WILL MAKE IT!
