The rest of the section is simple Mathematics problems. It would be good if you take a quick glance to the +2 Maths, since they ask questions curves, equations and gradients.
Section II consists of simple arithmetic problems and some reasoning problems. You have to write the answer on the answer sheet and no choices are given.
Section III is "Critical Reasoning", and the questions are of MCQ type.
They have SIX Question paper sets, named A, B, C, D, E and F. We have tried to draw a general pattern and have included many sample questions, which are in the same pattern with the papers.

TCS SELECTION GUIDE LINES
TCS Selection Guidelines ========================= Firstly, TCS has several levels of tests/interview in their selection procedure. 1. Aptitude test (generally online test) consisting of three sections, verbal abilities, quantative abilities and logical reasoning abilities. In verbal, u r asked antonyms of several words in English language, similar but less exhaustive than GRE verbal section. Quantative consists of class X level mathematical skill testing problems. logical reasoning will ask you yes/no/can't say type questions based on a paragraph. u will have to read through the paragraph fast but efficiently understanding only the main pith of the written material. regarding the words, they ask the same words over and over again. So, memorise the word meanings from all the papers that i have put up. U will surely get all of them common. In case, u have given GRE, don't bother about this section at all. All words are common. Each section is time limited. I have forgotten the exact time division. So u can not afford to waste too much time on any one section. 2. Psychometry: When u clear the above three section, u will be allowed to appear for psychometry. Its 150 questions to be answered in 30 min. Always remember to give POSITIVE and CONSISTENT answers since the same stun repeats with a different sentence construction sometimes later. Try to hide -ve traits in ur character as like being impatient, getting bored easily, distracted easily, feeling uneasy in a gathering of many people, unsocial and over talkative nature, etc. They ask questions like whether u would make friendship with a person of opposite sex, feel insomnia without reason, consistently brood over a mistake u did in the past, the type of person u r, etc etc. what u r actually is not important, what qualities would make ur employers happy is important. 3. After u clear psycho, is ur technical interview. Questions come mainly from the projects, experiences u have gathered. They check ur resume and the blue form and ask questions from there. Even sometimes they test ur logical abilities by asking puzzles like the type they ask at Infy. get through with the project works and stuff and be smart and reply confidently. 4. Clearing technical inter will make u eligible for HR interview which is also the final stage. Qstns are various types, including ur background, ur hobbies, etc etc. They are known to harass people with their hobbies. so, whatever hobbies u write, plz be through with it and prepare so that u can answer questions from your hobbies. Like if u say singing, plz get through with ur scale and technical things related to singing etc. If u like reading, plz be prepared to name a few novels and face questions on those novels. Also, they might try to embarrass u by asking questions of personal and slightly indecent nature like about ur boyfriend, ur affairs(if any) etc. Stay calm and answer them with a smiling face. Keep eye contact. Don't get provoked by any means. That’s about all. They take a week or so to announce results. So have patience and hope for the best. Lastly a disclaimer: =============================================================================== All this are from my experience and experience from my friends and colleagues. They need not match ur experiences with the interview. As a matter of fact, ur experiences could be entirely different. These are guidelines only and there is no guarantee that things would go as I have written. It’s TOTALLY ON One’s OWN LUCK and that’s what anyone would need in plenty to clear such interviews. Neither i am in anyway associated with TCS HR nor with the interview procedure. So, i am not responsible for the methodologies or strategies they use. /cgi-bin/gold/compose.cgi?login=bharathymca&session_id=2K1KKK597MlubMsYhmdVtRsVkj0V&FormName=

Instantaneously. But
our technological advances in the field of
communications seem not to have
improved our capacity to understand one another
17.in Confucius day people were more intelligent
C
18.we understand each other better now than in
Confucius time because
we can travel more quickly. F
19.we have made great improvements in transport since
Confucius day T
20.none of our scientific discoveries has really
improved our lives C
F.words in totalitarian systems have an unhealthy
importance and in such
states now attempting to return to a more democratic
normality there has
been a natural inevitable and healthy devaluation of
words whereas
Previously a single word used in a speech
or even a play or poem could be
a serious political event now the words come cheaper
almost free.
politics is politics again and poetry only poetry
21.totalitarian state devalue words T
22.only non-totalitarian regimes produce poetry of
political importance
T
23.writers under totalitarian regimes have to choose
their words care
fully T
24. the democratic political system is healthier than
others C
G.statistics show that millions of vehicles have
been carried by shuttle
over the past 30 years through alpine tunnels without
one ever catching
tire. in the alpine tunnels. drivers and passengers sit
in theirvhehicals on
the shuttle trains.only one vehicle has ever caught fire
on the busy
French motorail equivalent system. this sort of
accidents is not possible
in a closed shuttle. Assertions that a vehicle fire
will lead to
catastrophe have no basis. since the resources exit do
detect, control and
extinguish a fire and to remove any persons present
safely to an adjoining
wagon, leaving any surviving fire facing rapid
extinction within a wagon
built to contain fire for 30 minutes. catastrophe seems
very unlikely.
25. if a car caught fire in a rail shuttle, probably
none would be killed.
(T)
26.at least one vehicle has caught fire in an alpine
tunnel.(f)
27.if a fire started in a wagon, it would be allowed to
burn itself out in
30 minutes.(f)
28.if would theoretically be possible for a car to catch
fire in closed
shuttle system.(F)
H)every form of art is protected by copy write, upon the
expiration
of which the property passes into the public domain
and becomes freely
available to any one wishing to exploit it commercially.
the time has come
when all treasures should pass to the controlled of a
trust, and by this made
readily available to anyone on payment of a fee or
royality.the income
from the works of Tagore would alone be enarmous.these
who now main
financial benifit from his genius should make some
contribution to the
welfare of the arts in general.
29.tagore's plays are not protected by copyright. F
30.tagore's descendants should be asked to make some
contribution to the
arts C
31.instead of buying a ticket , theatregoers should pay
a fee to trust for
the benefit of the arts. C
32. More people could go to the theatre if copy
right were abolished C
I. Hacking is a crime made possible by a relatively new
technology,
which one of the reasons it is often poorly understood
and reported.
Many computers, but no means all, are now linked
together in networks which
allow users on one computer to communicate with others
on the same
network. If a computer is not networked, no manipulation
of its data from
another machine is possible. So long as users are
authorised, networking
is just a way of making work easier and more
productive. Hacking on the
other hand, is the unauthorised use of networks or
unauthorised entity
into the computers themselves. Most people do not need
to break into the
networks they use, since they are already accredited
users.
33. Most hackers are authorised to break into networks
F
34. Computers are only vulnerable to the unauthorised
manipulation of
their data via another computer if they are networked
T
35.The main reason why it is relatively easy to break
into a computer is
that few people understand the technology. C
36.Hackers do not work for the firms whose networks
they break into. T
J.Although invaders represent a threat to the
conservation of flora and
fauna, there are two special cases in which
invasion have been deliberately
brought about. One is the desire to control presents by
natural predators,
which may have to be brought in from other countries. The
second is
releasing organisms into the wild(or on to farms, from
which they might
escape)that are completely novel,beacause they have
been genetically
engineered. There is nothing intrinsically sinister
about engineered
organisms, but any novelty must be regarded as a
potential invader.
37.Pest control does not threat the conservation of
flora and fauna. T
38.Genetically engineered organisms must always be
regarded as poten-
tially dangerous. F
39.Natural predators are work harmful than pests.T
40.Genetically engineered organisms escaped from the
farm, they will be
pose a threat to wildlife. T
K. electronics technology is coming to the
rescue of helicopters which can
be grounded or crash in icy conditions the machines
are especially
vulnerable to the build up of ice on both their
rotors and engine air
intake when operating in cold damp conditions.the
problem is 2 fold
ice increases the weight and the build up makes the
aerofoils
less efficient .now at last a detector has been
devised which the company
hopes will mean safer flights and less frequent
grounding. unlike most
devices in use at present it can detect the liquid
water content of cloud
above freezing level. so the warning is given before
the potential hazard
is encountered.
39.an electronic device has been invented which will
prevent the build
up of ice on helicopter rotors F
40.helicopters are sometimes grounded because in cold
damp weather their
engine air intakes and rotors malfunction
owing to the formation of ice.
T
41.only one device can at present detect the liquid
water content of
cloud above freezing level C
42.in future fewer helicopters will crash or have to
grounded T
L.anyone whose has systematically examined faces will
have perceived a
preponderance although not a proliferation of
asymmtry.whether or not
the expression is volitional and self controlled or
spontaneous appears
to predict facial asymmetry as does the type of
emotion protrayed.positive
emotions are usually displayed symmetrically although
a left sided
representation of a negative emotion is more
common. posed expressions and
negative emotions are less likely to be symmetrically
represented.
43.an angry person is more likely to have a lopsided
expression than
someone who is smiling T
44.a deliberately assumed facial expression will
always be asymmetrical F
45.an actor is likely to smile symmetrically when
acting C
46.more self conscious people are likely to have less
asymmetrically
facial expressions than those who are less aware of
themselves T
M. human existence is not susceptible of arbitrary
division between
consciousness and unconsciousness. the conscious world
invades and shapes
the activities of the unconscious while many of the
great achievements of
humanity's waking hours were wholly or partly inspires
but dreams .even if
it could be argued that dreams precede experience such
a dichotomy could
not be drawn as the influence of dreaming on the waking
state would remain
unclear but as yet no common vocabulary exists to
record the substance
of prenatal dreaming
47.sleep can be a creative state. T
48.it is difficult to tell whether a sleeper is
dr3eaming or not C
49. if we knew what babies dream about before they are
born we could
show that conscious and unconscious mind influence one
another F
50. it is untrue to claim that the conscious and
unconscious worlds never
impinge on one another F
New twenty questions
--------------------
N. disease x succeeds lung disease. it may also occur
healthy persons the
person looks healthier from outside. the number of red
blood cells in
the blood increased and this leads to thickness of the
blood as a result
of which blood lacks inside the vessels .the person
suffers heart attract.
one possible solution is to remove a litre of blood or
to control the
growth of red blood cells.
53.lung disease precedes the disease x T
54.a person who gets heart attack always has disease x
F
55.people suffering from disease x look healthier C
56.one litre of blood must be removed to cure this T
O.a starfire engine has been designed to work only for
unleaded
petrol. this crossfire engine is designed for both 1500
and `1800 cc
they internally and externally look alike except for
the difference
in wheels ----,2000 cc is different from the above. two
in terms of 3
features --- ----- ---- on the bumber.
57.the engine run only on the leaded petrol F
58.1500 and 1800 cc look alike F
59.apart from cross fire engines they manufacture ----
F
60.internal structure of the 2000cc is same as that of
both 1500 and
1800 cc C
P.a weed killer to kill the weeds has been
developed. the weed killer
solution has to be applied to the growing tips. it need
not to be applied
to all the tips. the solution has to be prepared in a
can in one hand
and the plants are taken in the other hand with a glove
and are immersed
in the solution if we cannot immerse them in the
solution the solution
can be applied to the roots with a brush. it used
without care it can
pose danger to other plants.
61.the solutions has to applied to growing leaves
62.to use the weed killer first take the plants in the
cn as then pour the
solution into it.
63.it is sufficient to apply it only to some roots
64.it effects to the other plants.
