CTS Sample Paper #2

This is only a sample paper. We are not providing you with all the questions - just some questions to give you a general idea of the test pattern.

SECTION I - 8 questions based on series.

1. These questions involve interchange of letters in a word at particular locations and also interchanging letters adjacent to those particular locations.Certain other conditions may also be given
For eg.
Let the word be ABBAABA
If we apply 25 on this, it means we have to interchange the letters at positions 2 and 5, also we have to change the letters adjacent to positions 2 and 5 i.e.from A to B and B to A.
A B B A A B after Step 1 i.e interchange of 2 and 5 becomes AABABB
Now change adjacent elements of 2 and 5...finally answer becomes
Ans: B A A B B A

Questions 1-5 are based on the pattern with changed numbers as described above
Questions 6-8 are of the following type
To get AAABBD from BBBAAA what number should be applied:-
a) 25
b) 34
c) 25 & 34
d) none

SECTION II

1. Given the following functions
(1) f(n a b c ) = ac if n=1
(2) f(n a b c) = f( n-1 a c b) + f( 1 a b c) + f( n-1 b a c ) if n > 1

Then what is the value f( 2 a b c ) = ?

Ans: f( 2 a c b ) = ab + ac + bc.

2. Similar question on functions.

3. [ Based on the function in the first question] For the function f( 4 a b c ) the number of terms is...?
Hint f( 4 a b c ) = f( 3 a c b ) + f( 1 a b c ) + f( 3 b a c ) etc.

4. What is the value of the function f( 5 a b c ) = ?

SECTION III

Permutations and Combinations.
8 Questions.

1. r = number of flags;n = number of poles;
Any number of flags can be accommodated on any single pole.

1) r=5,n=5 The no. of ways the flags can be arranged ?

Questions 2-5 are based on the above pattern

6. r = 5 n = 3 . If first pole has 2 flags, third pole has 1 flag
How many ways can the remaining be arranged?

Questions 7.& 8. are similar to Question 6.

SECTION IV
Question consisting of figures - Pattern-matching type.
Refer R.S Agarwal's book on Analytical Reasoning & TMHs Quantitative ability book by Edgar Thorpe.

SECTION V
In this section first part of compound word is given. Select meaning of the second part from the choice given:
1. Swan

Interview
Profile of the company

 Written Test
The paper is technical based - with a major emphasis on C.At the moment we are providing you with a few questions so that you have an idea of the paper and know what to expect.
Click here to see the sample test.

 Interview
The interview is based mainly on C. The panel may ask you to solve some new questions in front of them. Your C fundamentals should be very strong and expect some real tough stuff from the panel.

 Profile
In July 1988, a small investment partnership called D. E. Shaw & Co., L.P. was organized with an initial capitalization of US $28 million and an ambitious plan for the application of quantitative and computational techniques to various aspects of the securities business. Today, the D. E. Shaw group of companies has approximately $1.2 billion in aggregate capital, and has earned an international reputation for financial innovation and technological leadership.
For the first several years of its existence, D. E. Shaw & Co. used its technical expertise solely to trade for its own account, establishing a quiet reputation within the quantitative financial community while remaining nearly invisible to the world at large. In 1992, however, the firm made a strategic decision to expand its focus and presence, launching a new business unit to apply quantitative and computational techniques in support of the provision of financial services to outside customers. A third line of activity was added in 1994, when the company began to fund (and, in some cases, organize) early- and intermediate-stage technology-oriented business ventures.
The firm was founded in 1988 by David E. Shaw, who continues to serve as chairman and chief executive officer of D. E. Shaw & Co., Inc. The author of 63 scholarly publications, Dr. Shaw received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1980 and served on the faculty of the Department of Computer Science at Columbia University before joining Morgan Stanley & Co. in 1986 as its vice president in charge of automated analytical trading technology. Earlier, he founded and served as president and CEO of Stanford Systems Corporation, a computer systems firm based in California's Silicon Valley.
The Indian arm of the company is based in Hyderabad. The company's pay package is comparable to the best in the industry.

D E Shaw & Company Sample Paper

SECTION-A

Write the programs for the following problems in C.

1. Swap two variables x,y without using a temporary variable.

2. Write algorithm for finding the GCD of a number.

3.Write a program for reversing the given string.

4. The integers from 1 to n are stored in an array in a random
fashion. but one integer is missing. Write a program to find the
missing integer.
Ans). Hint : The sum of n natural numbers is = n(n+1)/2.
if we subtract the above sum from the sum of all the
numbers in the array , the result is nothing but the
missing number.

5. Some bit type of questions has been given on pointers asking to
to find whether it is correct from syntax point of view. and if
it is correct explain what it will do. (around 15 bits).

SECTION-B

6. For the following C program
#define AND &&
#define ARRANGE (a>25 AND a<50) a =" 30;" r1="6.25,r2=" a="AREA(r1);" a="AREA(r2);" d="5;" i="1;i<4,i++)" s="\12345s\n" i="1;" k=" -1"> k=255; */
signed j=-1; /* char k= -1 => k=65535 */
/* unsigned or signed int k= -1 =>k=65535 */
if(ij)
printf("greater");
else
if(i==j)
printf("equal");
}
Ans: less

5.
void main()
{
float j;
j=1000*1000;
printf("%f",j);
}

1. 1000000
2. Overflow
3. Error
4. None
Ans: 4

6. How do you declare an array of N pointers to functions returning
pointers to functions returning pointers to characters?

Ans: The first part of this question can be answered in at least
three ways:

1. char *(*(*a[N])())();

2. Build the declaration up incrementally, using typedefs:

typedef char *pc; /* pointer to char */
typedef pc fpc(); /* function returning pointer to char */
typedef fpc *pfpc; /* pointer to above */
typedef pfpc fpfpc(); /* function returning... */
typedef fpfpc *pfpfpc; /* pointer to... */
pfpfpc a[N]; /* array of... */

3. Use the cdecl program, which turns English into C and vice
versa:

cdecl> declare a as array of pointer to function returning
pointer to function returning pointer to char
char *(*(*a[])())()

cdecl can also explain complicated declarations, help with
casts, and indicate which set of parentheses the arguments
go in (for complicated function definitions, like the one
above).
Any good book on C should explain how to read these complicated
C declarations "inside out" to understand them ("declaration
mimics use").
The pointer-to-function declarations in the examples above have
not included parameter type information. When the parameters
have complicated types, declarations can *really* get messy.
(Modern versions of cdecl can help here, too.)

7. A structure pointer is defined of the type time . With 3 fields min,sec hours having pointers to intergers.
Write the way to initialize the 2nd element to 10.

8. In the above question an array of pointers is declared.
Write the statement to initialize the 3rd element of the 2 element to 10;

9.
int f()
void main()
{
f(1);
f(1,2);
f(1,2,3);
}
f(int i,int j,int k)
{
printf("%d %d %d",i,j,k);
}

What are the number of syntax errors in the above?

Ans: None.

10.
void main()
{
int i=7;
printf("%d",i++*i++);
}

Ans: 56

11.
#define one 0
#ifdef one
printf("one is defined ");
#ifndef one
printf("one is not defined ");

Ans: "one is defined"

12.
void main()
{
int count=10,*temp,sum=0;
temp=&count;
*temp=20;
temp=∑
*temp=count;
printf("%d %d %d ",count,*temp,sum);
}

Ans: 20 20 20

13. There was question in c working only on unix machine with pattern matching.

14. what is alloca()
Ans : It allocates and frees memory after use/after getting out of scope

15.
main()
{
static i=3;
printf("%d",i--);
return i>0 ? main():0;
}

Ans: 321

16.
char *foo()
{
char result[100]);
strcpy(result,"anything is good");
return(result);
}
void main()
{
char *j;
j=foo()
printf("%s",j);
}

Ans: anything is good.

17.
void main()
{
char *s[]={ "dharma","hewlett-packard","siemens","ibm"};
char **p;
p=s;
printf("%s",++*p);
printf("%s",*p++);
printf("%s",++*p);
}
Ans: "harma" (p->add(dharma) && (*p)->harma)
"harma" (after printing, p->add(hewlett-packard) &&(*p)->harma)
"ewlett-packard"

Profile of the company

 Written Test
The Wipro test consists of 75 questions. It is a multiple choice test with no negative marking. The paper emphasises on your basic 11th and 12th standard physics,chemistry,maths with about 40-45 questions on these three subjects. There are about 10-15 data sufficiency and aptitude questions and about 15-20 technincal questions on your respective branch of engineering. A seperate paper is held for the various branches of engineering.The PCM and aptitude based questions are the same for everyone and different engineering branches have their own set of questions. Everyone though has an option of writing a hardware or software paper.
The following sets of questions are available:
Sample Test1 Sample Test2 Sample Test3
A part of the Wipro group, Wipro Infotech also has its own campus recruitments. Its test is technical with 50 MCQ to be done. A sample paper for Wipro Infotech for EE branch is given below

 Interview
The test is followed by a Technical and a HR interview. The technical interview is highly specialized and covers almost all subjects you have done in your curriculum. However one is required to name his/her favorite subject on which most of the interview is focussed. For Computer Engineers C, Operating Systems, DBMS, Microprocessors are mostly focused upon. Electronics Engineers can be grilled on DCLD, Microprocessors and Communications.
The HR interview which follows the technical interview is very general. In most cases questions regarding the company are asked.

 Profile
Wipro was previously known as Western India Vegetable Products Ltd was started by Mr.M.H Premji. The company manufactured vegetable oil, vegetable ghee and laundry soap. In 1966, upon the untimely demise of M.H. Premji, his son, Mr.Azim Hasham Premji, a 21-year-old student of engineering at Stanford University, was called upon to run the company. Under him, Wipro embarked on an ambitious phase of expansion. The business diversified into fluid power, soaps, toiletries, lighting and babycare products, and distribution was considerably expanded.Some of the important consumer products made by Wipro include soaps, babycare products, bulbs, tubelights, shampoos, powder etc. The financial strength of the consumer care division powered further diversifications, particularly in infotech and healthcare.
The Infotech era began in the late seventies and Wipro set up its IT business in Bangalore in 1980. Wipro became the No.1 listed company in the country in just 15 years. In a reorganisation, the firm went public with Wipro Technologies, the global IT services subsidiary, whose gross income grew by 65 percent to reach Rs.1042 crore($240 million).Wipro's software business was assessed at SEI CMM Level 5(.Wipro's technology divisions, global R&D and telecom solutions contributed 46 percent of the software revenue, and the balance was accounted for by enterprise solutions business. E-commerce contributed 15 percent of enterprise solutions revenue for the year. Sales and other incomes of the second division,Wipro Infotech, the Indian IT services and products business that takes care of networking solutions, customer services, computers and peripherals, grew by 20 percent to Rs.825 crore.
Wipro Technologies soon plans to tap the global capital body through an issue of American Depository Receipts(ADR) or Global Depository Receipts(GDR). It established its headquaters in Santa Clara, US, with Mr.Vivek Paul as the company's president and CEO.
The pay package is around Rs.17,000(approx.) for the year 2000 recruits.
Mr.Azim H. Premji is presently the Chairman. Mr.Premji owns about 75 percent of the Wipro stock. He also happens to be the richest Indian in the world.
