The goal is to bring the gold coin to the 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 below the top coin (for some i between 0 and 100). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The proviso is that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent turns neither player can make a 2- move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it's a player's turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold coin is the third coin from the top. Then a) In order to win, Alice's first move can be a 0-move or a 1-move. b) In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 1-move. c) In order to win, Alice's first move should be a 0-move. d) Alice has no winning strategy. 8.

In a sense the university had failed. It has stores great quantities of knowledge; it teaches more people; and despite its failures, it teaches them better._____ . Of the great branches of knowledge- the sciences the social sciences and humanities- the science are applied. Strenuous and occasionally successful efforts are made to apply the social sciences, not almost never are the humanities well applied. We do not use philosophy in defining our conduct. ____. The great task of the university in the next generation is to learn to use the knowledge we have for the questions that come before us. _____ The difference between a primary problem and a secondary or even tertiary problem is that primary problems tend to be around for a long time, whereas the less important ones get solved. One primary problem is that of interfering with biological development. _______. Obviously, there are benefits both to individuals and to society from eliminating, or at least improving, mentally and physically deformed persons. On the other hand, there could be very serious consequences if this knowledge were used with premeditation to produce superior and subordinate classes, each genetically prepared to carry out a predetermined mission. _____, Here we have a primary problem that will still exist when we are all dead. Of course, the traditional faculty members would say. ______. And certainly they would not learn, but they would learn some other things. A. The next generation, and perhaps this one, will be able to interfere chemically with the actual development of an individual and perhaps biologically by interfering with an individuals genes. B. This can be done, but what happens to free will and he rights of the individual C. But the students wont learn enough to go to graduate school D. It is in the application of this knowledge that the failure has come. E. We do not use literature as a source of real and vicarious experience. F. The university should organize should organize courses around primary problems G. The universities greatest shortcoming is not to help students see the relevance of humanities to real problems. H. It is difficult for modern students, accustomed to the minute of film, to appreciate opera. I. It is necessary students to require to include in their curricula liberal arts courses. During the 1930s, the National Association for the Advancement of colored people (NAACP) attorneys Charles H, Houston, William Hastiem James M. Nabrit, Leon Ransom and Thurgood Marshall charted a legal strategy designed to end segregation in education. They developed a series of legal cases challenging segregation in graduate and professional schools. Houston believed that the battle against segregation has to begin at the highest academic level in order to mitigate fear of race mixing that could create greater hostility and reluctance on the part of white judges. After establishing a series of favorable legal precedents in higher education, NAACP attorneys planned to launch an all-out attack on the separate but equal doctrine in primary and secondary schools. The strategy proved successful. In four major United States Supreme Court decisions, precedents were established that would enable the NAACP to construct a solid legal foundation upon which the Brown case could rest: Missouri ex rel. Gaines v, Canada,

Registrar of the University of Missouri (1938); Sipuel v. Board of Regents of the University of Oklahoma(1948); McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education(1950); and sweat v. Painter(1950). In the Oklahoma case, the Supreme Court held that the plaintiff was entitled to enroll in the university. The Oklahoma Regents responded by separating black and white students in cafeterias and classrooms. The 1950 McLaurin decision rules that such internal separation was unconstitutional. In the Sweatt ruling, delivered on the same day, the Supreme Court held that the maintenance of separate law schools for whites and blacks was unconstitutional. A year after Herman Sweatt entered the University of Texas law school, desegregation cases were fields in the states of Kansas, South Carolina, Virginia, and Delaware, and in the District of Columbia asking the courts to apply the qualitative test of the Sweatt case to the elementary and secondary schools and to declare the separate-but-equal doctrine invalid in the area of public education. The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision declared that a classification based solely on race violated the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. The decision reversed the 1896 Plessy.v.Ferguson ruling, which had established the separate but equal doctrine. The Brown decision more than any other case launched the equalitarian revolution in American jurisprudence and signaled the merging primacy of equality as a guide to constitutional decisions; nevertheless, the decision did not end state sanctioned segregation. Indeed, the second Brown decision, known as Brown II and delivered a year later, played a decisive role in limiting the effectiveness and impact of the 1954 case by providing southern states with the opportunity to delay the implementation of desegregation. The intervention of the federal government and the deployment of the National Guard in 1954 Little Rock crisis, and again in 1963 when the enrollment of James Meredith desegregated the University of Mississippi, highlight the role of federal power in promoting social change during this era. While black local and national leaders organized and orchestrated the legal struggles, and students joined in freedom rides and staged sit-ins, another equally important dimension of the rights quest took shape: the battle between federal and state authority and the evolution of the doctrine of federalism. The fact remains that the United States Supreme Court lacked the power to enforce its decisions. President Dwight D. Eisenhowers use of federal troops in Little Rock was a major departure from the reluctance of past presidents to display federal power in the south, especially to protect the lives and rights of black citizens. (27)According to the passage, Houston aimed his legislative challenge at the graduate and profession school level on the basis of the assumption that A.The greatest inequities existed at the highest academic and professional level B.The separate but-equal doctrine applied solely to the highest academic level. C.There were clear precedents for reforms in existence at the graduate school level D.The judiciary would feel less apprehension at desegregation on the graduate level E. The consequences of desegregation would become immediately apparent at the graduate school level. (28)The passage suggests that the reaction of the Oklahoma Regents to the 1948 Sipuel decision was one of A.Resigned tolerance B.Avowed uncertainty C.Moderate amusement D.Distinct displeasure E.Unquestioning approbation (29)Which of the following best describes the relationship between the McLaurin decision and the 1954 Brown v. Board Education decision?\ A.The McLaurin decision superseded the Brown decision B.The Brown decision provided a precedent for the McLaurin decision C.The Brown decision reversed the McLaurin decision D.The McLaurin decision limited the application of the Brown decision E.The McLaurin decision proved legal authority for the Brown decision (30)To the claim that judicial decisions without executive intervention would have assured desegregation in education , the author would most probably respond with which of the following? A.Marked disagreement B.Grudging acquiescence C.Studied neutrality D.Complete indifference E.Unqualified enthusiasm.

In my case my both rounds were in one interview (HR+TECH). I had impressed my interviewers with my tech & hr questions. I had given almost all tech answers right. I had cleared the HR queries very confidently. 5. Managerial Round: Friends if you have cleared the tech round then you were asked to go for MR. But some times they dont take MR. It depends on the format of their selection. I was not asked to appear for the MR. If u cleared the above 4 rounds then you are 99% in TCS untill or unless You dont give any stupid answer or you loose ur confidence. Please have a look on TCS site atleast once b4 appearing in MR. Friends in the end I would like to say that TCS is not impossible for freshers. Just plan well & do a smart work & surely you will be in TCS. It was my first call from any company & b4 it I had not appered for any test or not get even single call. But even though I cleared it......Believe in "ALMIGHTY".......He is gr8 & help you not to loose ur patience. Give your 100%. "DO THE BEST & LEAVE THE REST" & "PRAY WORKS, PRAY ONLY WORKS". So All The Best friends..... Meet you in TCS....

II.QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE TIPS:this is the most scoring section give ur best here just go through all the questions asked previously. 1) If log 0.317=0.3332 and log 0.318=0.3364 then find log 0.319 ? Sol) log 0.317=0.3332 and log 0.318=0.3364, then log 0.319=log0.318+(log(0.318-0.317)) = 0.3396 2) A box of 150 packets consists of 1kg packets and 2kg packets. Total weight of box is 264kg. How many 2kg packets are there ? Sol) x= 2 kg Packs y= 1 kg packs x + y = 150 .......... Eqn 1 2x + y = 264 .......... Eqn 2 Solve the Simultaneous equation; x = 114 so, y = 36 ANS : Number of 2 kg Packs = 114. 3) My flight takes of at 2am from a place at 18N 10E and landed 10 Hrs later at a place with coordinates 36N70W. What is the local time when my plane landed? 6:00 am b) 6:40am c) 7:40 d) 7:00 e) 8:00 Sol) The destination place is 80 degree west to the starting place. Hence the time difference between these two places is 5 hour 20 min. (=24hr*80/360). When the flight landed, the time at the starting place is 12 noon (2 AM + 10 hours).

Hence, the time at the destination place is 12 noon - 5:20 hours = 6: 40 AM 4) A plane moves from 9N40E to 9N40W. If the plane starts at 10 am and takes 8 hours to reach the destination, find the local arrival time ? Sol) Since it is moving from east to west longitide we need to add both ie,40+40=80 multiply the ans by 4 =>80*4=320min convert this min to hours ie, 5hrs 20min It takes 8hrs totally . So 8-5hr 20 min=2hr 40min So the ans is 10am+2hr 30 min =>ans is 12:30 it will reach 5) The size of the bucket is N kb. The bucket fills at the rate of 0.1 kb per millisecond. A programmer sends a program to receiver. There it waits for 10 milliseconds. And response will be back to programmer in 20 milliseconds. How much time the program takes to get a response back to the programmer, after it is sent? Please tell me the answer with explanation. Very urgent. Sol) see it doesn't matter that wat the time is being taken to fill the bucket.after reaching program it waits there for 10ms and back to the programmer in 20 ms.then total time to get the response is 20ms +10 ms=30ms...it's so simple.... 6) A file is transferred from one location to another in 'buckets'. The size of the bucket is 10 kilobytes. Each bucket gets filled at the rate of 0.0001 kilobytes per millisecond. The transmission time from sender to receiver is 10 milliseconds per bucket. After the receipt of the bucket the receiver sends an acknowledgement that reaches sender in 100 milliseconds. Assuming no error during transmission, write a formula to calculate the time taken in seconds to successfully complete the transfer of a file of size N kilobytes. (n/1000)*(n/10)*10+(n/100)....as i hv calculated...~~!not 100% sure 7) A fisherman's day is rated as good if he catches 9 fishes, fair if 7 fishes and bad if 5 fishes. He catches 53 fishes in a week n had all good, fair n bad days in the week. So how many good, fair n bad days did the fisher man had in the week Ans:4 good, 1 fair n 2 bad days Sol) Go to river catch fish 4*9=36 7*1=7 2*5=10 36+7+10=53... take what is given 53 good days means --- 9 fishes so 53/9=4(remainder=17) if u assume 5 then there is no chance for bad days. fair days means ----- 7 fishes so remaining 17 --- 17/7=1(remainder=10) if u assume 2 then there is no chance for bad days. bad days means -------5 fishes so remaining 10---10/5=2days. Ans: 4 good, 1 fair, 2bad. ==== total 7 days. x+y+z=7--------- eq1 9*x+7*y+5*z=53 -------eq2 multiply eq 1 by 9, 9*x+9*y+9*z=35 -------------eq3 from eq2 and eq3 2*y+4*z=10-----eq4 since all x,y and z are integer i sud put a integer value of y such that z sud be integer in eq 4 .....and ther will be two value y=1 or 3 then z = 2 or 1 from eq 4 for first y=1,z=2 then from eq1 x= 4 so 9*4+1*7+2*5=53.... satisfied now for second y=3 z=1 then from eq1 x=3 so 9*3+3*7+1*5=53 ......satisfied so finally there are two solution of this question

(x,y,z)=(4,1,2) and (3,3,1)... 8) Y catches 5 times more fishes than X. If total number of fishes caught by X and Y is 42, then number of fishes caught by X? Sol) Let no. of fish x catches=p no. caught by y =r r=5p. r+p=42 then p=7,r=35 9) Three companies are working independently and receiving the savings 20%, 30%, 40%. If the companies work combinely, what will be their net savings? suppose total income is 100 so amount x is getting is 80 y is 70 z =60 total=210 but total money is 300 300-210=90 so they are getting 90 rs less 90 is 30% of 300 so they r getting 30% discount 10) The ratio of incomes of C and D is 3:4.the ratio of their expenditures is 4:5. Find the ratio of their savings if the savings of C is one fourths of his income? Sol) incomes:3:4 expenditures:4:5 3x-4y=1/4(3x) 12x-16y=3x 9x=16y y=9x/16 (3x-4(9x/16))/((4x-5(9x/16))) ans:12/19 11) If G(0) = -1 G(1)= 1 and G(N)=G(N-1) - G(N-2) then what is the value of G(6)? ans: -1 bcoz g(2)=g(1)-g(0)=1+1=2 g(3)=1 g(4)=-1 g(5)=-2 g(6)=-1 12) If A can copy 50 pages in 10 hours and A and B together can copy 70 pages in 10 hours, how much time does B takes to copy 26 pages? Sol) A can copy 50 pages in 10 hrs. A can copy 5 pages in 1hr.(50/10) now A & B can copy 70 pages in 10hrs. thus, B can copy 90 pages in 10 hrs.[eqn. is (50+x)/2=70, where x--> no. of pages B can copy in 10 hrs.] so, B can copy 9 pages in 1hr. therefore, to copy 26 pages B will need almost 3hrs. since in 3hrs B can copy 27 pages. 13) what's the answer for that : A, B and C are 8 bit no's. They are as follows: A -> 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 B -> 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 C -> 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 ( - =minus, u=union)

Find ((A - C) u B) =? 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 The answer is = 10111011, Whose decimal equivalent is 187. 14) One circular array is given(means memory allocation tales place in circular fashion) diamension(9X7) and sarting add. is 3000, What is the address of (2,3)........ Sol) it's a 9x7 int array so it reqiure a 126 bytes for storing.b'ze integer value need 2 byes of memory allocation. and starting add is 3000 so starting add of 2x3 will be 3012. 15) In a two-dimensional array, X (9, 7), with each element occupying 4 bytes of memory, with the address of the first element X (1, 1) is 3000, find the address of X (8, 5). Sol) initial x (1,1) = 3000 u hav to find from x(8,1)so u have x(1,1),x(1,2) ... x(7,7) = so u have totally 7 * 7 = 49 elementsu need to find for x(8,5) ? here we have 5 elements each element have 4 bytes : (49 + 5 -1) * 4 = 212 -----( 1 is to deduct the 1 element ) 3000 + 212 = 3212 16) Which of the following is power of 3 a) 2345 b) 9875 c) 6504 d) 9833 17) The size of a program is N. And the memory occupied by the program is given by M = square root of 100N. If the size of the program is increased by 1% then how much memory now occupied ? Sol) M=sqrt(100N) N is increased by 1% therefore new value of N=N + (N/100) =101N/100 M=sqrt(100 * (101N/100) ) Hence, we get M=sqrt(101 * N) 18) 1)SCOOTER --------- AUTOMOBILE--- A.

Then what is the code? sol) Assume the digit xx xx xx (six digits) First Two digit xx * 3=111 xx=111/3=37 ( first two digits of 1 is not divisible by 3 so we can use 111) Second Two digit xx*6=222 xx=222/6=37 ( first two digits of 2 is not divisible by 6 so we can use 222) Thrid Two digit xx*9=333 xx=333/9=37 ( first two digits of 3 is not divisible by 9 so we can use 333) 54) There are 4 balls and 4 boxes of colours yellow, pink, red and green. Red ball is in a box whose colour is same as that of the ball in a yellow box. Red box has green ball. In which box you find the yellow ball? ans is green... Sol) Yellow box can have either of pink/yellow balls. if we put a yellow ball in "yellow" box then it wud imply that "yellow" is also the colour of the box which has the red ball(becoz acordin 2 d question,d box of the red ball n the ball in the yellow box have same colour) thus this possibility is ruled out... therefore the ball in yellow box must be pink,hence the colour of box containin red ball is also pink.... =>the box colour left out is "green",,,which is alloted to the only box left,,,the one which has yellow ball.. 55) A bag contains 20 yellow balls, 10 green balls, 5 white balls, 8 black balls, and 1 red ball. How many minimum balls one should pick out so that to make sure the he gets at least 2 balls of same color. Ans:he should pick 6 ball totally. Sol) Suppose he picks 5 balls of all different colours then when he picks up the sixth one, it must match any on of the previously drawn ball colour. thus he must pick 6 balls 56) What is the number of zeros at the end of the product of the numbers from 1 to 100 Sol) For every 5 in unit palce one zero is added Ch eta naS so between 1 to 100 there are 10 nos like 5,15,25,..,95 which has 5 in unit place. Similarly for every no divisible by 10 one zero is added in the answer so between 1 to 100 11 zeros are added for 25,50,75 3 extra zeros are added so total no of zeros are 10+11+3=24 57) 10 Digit number has its first digit equals to the numbers of 1's, second digit equals to the numbers of 2's, 3rd digit equals to the numbers of 3's .4th equals number of 4's..till 9th digit equals to the numbers of 9's and 10th digit equals to the number of 0's. what is the number?.(6marks) ans:2100010006 2---shows that two 1's in the ans 1---shows that one 2 in ans 0---shows no 3 in the ans 0---shows no 4 in the ans 0---shows no 5 in the ans 1---shows one 6 in the ans 0---shows no 7 in the ans 0---shows no 8 in the ans 0---shows no 9 in the ans 6---shows six 0's in the ans 58) There are two numbers in the ratio 8:9. if the smaller of the two numbers is increased by 12 and the larger number is reduced by 19 thee the ratio of the two numbers is 5:9. Find the larger number? sol) 8x:9x initialy

8x+ 12 : 9x - 19 = 5x:9x 8x+12 = 5x -> x = 4 9x = 36 not sure about the answer .. 59) There are three different boxes A, B and C. Difference between weights of A and B is 3 kgs. And between B and C is 5 kgs. Then what is the maximum sum of the differences of all possible combinations when two boxes are taken each time A-B = 3 B-c = 5 a-c = 8 so sum of diff = 8+3+5 = 16 kgs 60) A and B are shooters and having their exam. A and B fall short of 10 and 2 shots respectively to the qualifying mark. If each of them fired atleast one shot and even by adding their total score together, they fall short of the qualifying mark, what is the qualifying mark? ans is 11 coz each had atleast 1 shot done so 10 + 1 = 11 n 9 + 2 = 11 so d ans is 11 61) A, B, C, and D tells the following times by looking at their watches. A tells it is 3 to 12. B tells it is 3 past 12. C tells it is 12:2. D tells it is half a dozen too soon to 12. No two watches show the same time. The difference between the watches is 2,3,4,5 respectively. Whose watch shows maximum time? sol) A shows 11:57, B shows 12:03, C shows 12:02, and D shows 11:06 therefore, max time is for B 62) Falling height is proportional to square of the time. One object falls 64cm in 2sec than in 6sec from how much height the object will fall. Sol) The falling height is proportional to the squere of the time. Now, the falling height is 64cm at 2sec so, the proportional constant is=64/(2*2)=16; so, at 6sec the object fall maximum (16*6*6)cm=576cm; Now, the object may be situated at any where. if it is>576 only that time the object falling 576cm within 6sec .Otherwise if it is situated<576 then it fall only that height at 6sec. 63) Gavaskar average in first 50 innings was 50. After the 51st innings his average was 51 how many runs he made in the 51st innings Ans) first 50 ings.- run= 50*50=2500 51st ings.- avg 51. so total run =51*51=2601. so run scored in that ings=2601-2500=101 runs. 64) Anand finishes a work in 7 days, Bittu finishes the same job in 8 days and Chandu in 6 days.

The rupee notes are cubical in shape while their coins are spherical. However the coin minting machinery lays out some stipulations on the size of the coins.The diameter of the coins should be at least 64mm and not exceed 512mm. Given a coin, the diameter of the next larger coin is at least 50% greater. The diameter of the coin must always be an integer. You are asked to design a set of coins of different diameters with these requirements and your goal is to design as many coins as possible. How many coins can you design? 5 9 6 8 Ans: c(hint:first coin has length 64 mm,2nd coin diamter length 64+(50/100)*64,3rd coin 2nd coins diameter length+50/100 of 2nd coinds lenght,in that way go till you reach maximum diamter length 512!now think! 16. The pacelength P is the distance between the rear of two consecutive footprints. For men, the formula, n/P = 144 gives an approximate relationship between n and P where, n = number of steps per minute and P = pacelength in meters. Bernard knows his pacelength is 164cm. The formula applies to Bernard's walking. Calculate Bernard's walking speed in kmph. 23.62 11.39 8.78 236.16 ans:a 17.A hollow cube of size 5 cm is taken, with a thickness of 1 cm. It is made of smaller cubes of size 1 cm. If 4 faces of the outer surface of the cube are painted, totally how many faces of the smaller cubes remain unpainted? 800 500 488 900 ans:side of cube = 5 cm its thichness = 1 cm so volume of outer cube = 5*5*5

volume of inner cube = 3*3*3 volume of the hollow cube = 5*5*5 - 3*3*3 = 98 so total no of small cubes of the size 1 cm = 98/1*1*1 = 98 we know a cube has 6 faces so total no of face = 98*6 = 588 one surface of outer cube contains a total of 25 surface of smaller cube , so when 4 surface of outer cube is painted total no of surface of small cubes i.e supposed to be painted is 4*25 = 100 so the total no of surfaces of small cube that will be remained unpainted is 588-100 = 488 no of faces remain unpainted: 588-( 25* no faces painted) 18. 10 suspects are rounded by the police and questioned about a bank robbery.
