Some questions previously asked

Directions for question nos. 1-2:

Eighty Five children went to amusement park where they could ride on merry go-round roller coaster and Ferris wheel .It was known that 20 of them have took all three rides and 55 of them have taken at least two of the three rides. Each ride cost Rs.1 and the total receipt of the amusement park was Rs.145.
1)How many children did not try any of the rides. ?
A) 5 B) 10 C) 15 D) 20
Ans. 15.

20 kids * 3 rides = Rs. 60
(55-20=)35 kids * 2 rides = Rs. 70
60 + 70 = Rs. 130
So, Rs. (145 – 130 = ) 15 are left for the other (85 – 55 = ) 30 kids . so only 15 of them can take a ride and rest 15 will be left out.
145 rides were taken. 20 of them took all three, i.e. Rs. 60 were spent, so 145-60= Rs. 85 are left for the others. Total kids were 85, so rest were 65. out of these 65,

2)How many children took exactly one ride?
A) 5 B) 10 C) 15 D) 20
Ans. 15

3)Four cities are connected by a road network as shown in the figure. In how many ways can you start from any city and come back to it without travelling on the same road more than once ?
A)8
B)12
C)16
D)20
Ans 12.
Consider the top city, the following are the 3 routes possible, starting from the leftmost edge. Since there are 3 edges emanating from each city and the figure is perfectly symmetrical, these 3 routes are possible from each edge, hence for any given city, the total number of routes = 4 * 3 = 12.

Directions for question nos 4-5:
A, B, and C are three numbers, Let
@(A, B)= Average of A and B
*(A, B)=Product of A and B
/(A, B)=A divided by B

4)If A=2 and B=4 the value of @( / (*(A,B),B),A) would be
A)2
B)4
C)6
D)16
Ans.2

5)Sum of A and B is given by
A)*(@(A, B), 2)
B)/(@(A,B),2)
C)@(*(A,B),2)
D)@(/(A,B),2
Ans. A.

6)Let x
A)(x2-z2)has to be positive.
B)yz can be less than one.
C)xy can never be zero
D)(y2-z2) is always negative
Ans. A.

7)If A,s income is 25% less than B,s ,by what % is B,s income greater than that of A ?
A)35%
B)25%
C)30%
D)None of these
Ans. D Directions for question nos 8-12: A professor keeps data on students tabulated by the sex and the performance of the student. Data is kept in a computer disk, but unfortunately some of it is lost because of a virus. Only the following could be recovered:

d) Half the students were either good or excellent. (implies the total of good and excellent is 40, i.e., hall of 80)
e) 40% of the students were female (this implies that 32 is 40% of the total students, hence total students are 80, this implies that males are 48, calculate the rest yourself)

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.The establishment of the third Reich influenced events in American history by starting a chain of events which culminated in war between Germany and the United States. The complete destruction of democracy, the persecution of laws, the war on religion, the cruelty and barrbarism of the Nazis and especially, the plans of Germany and her allies, Italy and Japan, for world conquest caused great indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war. While speaking out against Hitler's atrocities, the American profile generally favored isolationist policies, and neutrality. The neutrality acts of 1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any belligerents or loans to them. In 1937 the president was empowered to declare an arms embargo in wars between nations at his discretion American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt's quarantine the aggressor speech at Chicago (1937) in which he severely criticized Hitler's policies. Germany's seizure of Austria and Munich pact for the partition of Czechoslovakia (1938) also around the American people. The conquest of Czechoslovakia in March 1939 was another rude awakening to the menace of the third Reich. In August, 1939, came the shock of the Nazi - Soviet pact and in September the attack on Poland and the outbreak of European war. The United States attempt to maintain neutrality in spite of sympathy for the democracies arranged against the Third Reich. The Neutrality act of 1939 repeated the arms embargo and permitted 'cash' and 'carry' exports of arms to belligerent nations. A strong national defense program was begun. A draft act was passed (1940) to strengthen the military services. A Lend - Lease Act (1940) authorized the president to sell, exchange or lend materials to any county deemed necessary by him for the defense of the United States. Help was given to Britain territory in the western Hemisphere. In August 1941, President Roosevelt and prime minister Churchill met and issued the Atlantic Charter which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established after the war. In December 1941, Japan launched the unprovoked attack on the United States at Pearl harbor, immediately thereafter Germany declared war on the united states.

Placement Paper:- May 20 ,2014 - Capgemini, India
Id: 11595 Title: Capgemini Latest Placement Drive Technical Questions Answers - Capgemini Aptitude & Technical Placement Question papers
                                         Section 1: Declarations and Initializations [a]
1.1: How do you decide which integer type to use?
Use ``short'' when you need to avoid values over 32,767, ``int'' when you want to store integers, ``long'' for long numbers (more than 6 digits), and ``float'' for numbers over 4 billion.

1.2: What should the 64-bit type on new, 64-bit machines be?
int.

1.3: If I write the code int i, j; can I assume that (&i + 1) == &j?
Only sometimes. It's not portable, because in EBCDIC, i and j are not adjacent. [a]

1.4: What's the best way to declare and define global variables?
In headers; this way, you can get link errors when you include the same header twice. Generally, you will have to define a variable everywhere you want to use it, and then declare it someplace so you know what it is. [a]

1.5: What does extern mean in a function declaration?
It refers to a variable which is not actually in your program. For instance,
main() {
extern int bar;
printf("%d\n", bar);
return 0;
}
will compile without errors because bar is declared as being external. (It won't run, though, because you never assign bar a value.) [a]

1.6: I finally figured out the syntax for declaring pointers to functions, but now how do I initialize one?
With the assignment operator. You were perhaps expecting a screwdriver?

1.7: I've seen different methods used for calling through pointers to functions. What's the story?
In the old days, when Microsoft first invented C, the syntax for calling functions involved more parentheses; this was after their market research indicated that most C programmers would be coming from a Lisp environment. Later, when Kernighan took over the language design (right after AT&T bought Microsoft's language technology), he decided to eliminate the parentheses, but the old form is still allowed.
You do need the parentheses to call a function with more than one argument, for instance,
int (*foo)(char *, ...) = printf;
(*foo)("hello, %s\n", "world!");
needs the parens, but they would not be needed for
foo, "hello, world!\n";
(The ``*'' just means to execute foo, just like the ``*'' on the end of an executable filename in ``ls -F''.) [a]

1.8: What's the auto keyword good for?
Declaring vehicles.

1.9: I can't seem to define a linked list successfully. I tried
typedef struct {
char *item;
NODEPTR next;
} *NODEPTR;
but the compiler gave me error messages. Can't a structure in C contain a pointer to itself?
Not exactly; it can contain a pointer to another structure of the same type. Try:
typedef struct {
char *item;
double *next;
} NODEFAKE;
typedef struct {
char *item;
NODEFAKE *next;
} NODEPTR;
Make sure that sizeof(NODEPTR) == sizeof(double).
This technique is called a ``backwards reference''. [a]

1.10: How do I enter values using hexadecimal?
long ints can be entered using hexadecimal notation; for instance,
long int foo = 07;
sets foo to hex 7. [a]
