3 Given a collection of points P in the plane, a 1-set is a point in P that can be separated from the rest by a line; i.e. the point lies on one side of the line while the others lie on the other side. The number of 1-sets of P is denoted by n1(P). The maximum value of n1(P) over all configurations P of 9 points in the plane isa.10b.9c.3d.5
Ans.: b ( m nt sure)
4.Planet four firesides in 4-dimensional space and thus the currency used by its residents are 3-dimensional objects. 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.

Tata Consultancy Services
Company Name : Tata Consultancy ServicesType : FresherJob Interview Paper:
There were 2 rounds for the selection process.
Online Aptitude Test Personal interview
The Online Aptitude Test contained 35 questions, and we had 80 mins to complete them.
Questions were all based on quantitative reasoning, Pattern of questions where similar from previous years, in some cases the data was changed and/or a little twist was added.
Going through the sample papers they released for 2011, 2012 was good enough to crack it.
The Personal Interview Round was held on 1st September.
Candidates faced a panel of either 1 or 2 interviewers. Both technical and non technical questions were asked.
My personal experience was facing 1 interviewer, and the interview was mainly non technical.
Was asked what I do apart from academics, who is my favorite footballer (as I had mentioned Football as a hobby in my CV) etc, and it was an enjoyable session of casual chatting for about 15mins.
More than anything, they were looking at communication skills, and analytical thought. We have a lot to say sometimes, but its important to frame them in the correct order.
From the technical questions that were asked to my friends, nothing in-depth was questioned. Basic C concepts like loops, recursion, sorting techniques, basic SQL queries were asked. Again it was how the answer was presented, and how we went about it that was noticed, and not so much the answers itself.
Hope this helps you in your preparation for TCS. Good luck to all.

Instruction for Q. Nos. 1 to 10 : Read the paragraph carefully and answer the questions below it.That genetic engineering had the potential to turn evolution upside down and inside out was known to be theoretically possible. No one was prepared for it when it actually happened. When last week a British scientist reproduced a sheep from its mother through genetic cloning, the news was received all around the world with near-disbelief. In India too scientists reacted broadly in the manner of their western counterparts. In the Indian Institute of science at Banglore where pioneering work on genetic engineering is under way, a senior scientist and chairman of the microbiology department Dr. K.P. Gopinathan described the cloning of “Dolly”, the British lamb as a fantastic achievement. But he cautioned that ethical questions would have to be convincingly answered before attempts are made to similarly clone human beings. Dr. Gopinathan himself has achieved considerable success in genetic engineering. His team is credited with having cloned the luminescence gene of the firefly onto a silkworm causing it to glow in the dark. His department is also at present working on a method to cultivate in a silkworm the gene that is responsible for the growth of an individual.

According to Napoleon, “It is a approved maxim in war never to do what the enemy wishes you to do, for this reason alone that he desires it.” Non-violent resistance acts fully in accordance with Napoleon’s principle. Your violent opponent wants you to fight in the way to which he is accustomed. If you utterly decline, and adopt a method wholly new to him, you have thus gained an immediate tactical advantage. The surprise of non-violent resistance is effective because the opponent is so bound by his violent habits that he is ill prepared to utilize the new tactics himself. The surprise of non-violent resistance, unlike that of war, is not due to deceit or stratagem but simply due to its novelty.
Q.9 The non-violent resister gains an immediate tactical advantage over his enemy because
a. He does not use the conventional method of warb. He does not fight at all
c. He does not fight in a way his enemy is accustomed to
d. He does not face the enemy directly
