 Where M- MODULAS R- ROUNDOFF T- TRUNCATE    (Ans: 11)      
Sol: 3 + 7+ 4 – 3 ==11

3 What is the value of the expression         % # % (6) + # % # (6)
 Where % means DOUBLING and # means RECIPROCAL        
 4 Match the following (this type of question but not same)
 

                   A                                                       B
 

          1. Mammal, cow                        —>       a.   A type of

           4. Mushroom – Vegetables         —>       d.   A superset of
 

            (Ans: 1-d, 2-c, 3-b, 4-a)
 

5.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: -3)   
Sol: g(2)=g(1)-g(0) ==1-(-1)=2, similarly g(3),…g(6);
 

6.   If  A=     0        0        0        0        1        1        1        1
B=     0        0        1        1        0        0        1
C=     0        1        0        1        0        1        0        1
 Then find the value of [A U C] U B and express it in decimal.  

7.If A, B, C are the mechanisms used separately to reduce the wastage of fuel by 30%, 40%, 10%.What will be the fuel economy if they were used combine?
 1.68.4          2.62.2         3.58         4.27             
(Ans: 62.2)                              
sol:  (70/100)*(60/100)*(90/100)*100=37.8   Eco = (100-37.8) =62.2

8. In Madras , temperature at noon varies according to t^2/2 + 4t + 12 (Read is as: t square /2 + 4t +12), where t is elapsed time. Find how much percentage of temperature is increased (or decreased) between 5pm and 8pm. (HINT: substitute&subtact values from 5 to 8)

a) 1.0%        b) 2.6%                 c) 0.5%       d)1.4%                  e)2.7%   ans .5%

10 A power unit is there by the bank of a river of 900 meters. A cable is made from power unit to power a plant opposite to that of the river of 2000mts. The cost of the cable below water is Rs. 5/- per meter and cost of cable on the bank is Rs. 4/- per meter. Then find out the amount to be invested to connect those two stations.
(Ans8500)
 

11 A sequence of letters is given. We’ve to find out how many V’s are there under the condition that, S should be followed by V and should not be followed by F……
 V,S,F,T,W,E,L,B,V,S,L,L,K,S,M,S,V,F,L,S,D,I,……… Like that.
 

12 In a two-dimensional array, X (7, 9), with each element occupying 8 bytes of memory, with the address of the first element X (1, 1)=3000; find the starting address of  the element at X (5,8). 
(Ans: 3172)
 Sol: (4 X 9) + 7 = 43 X 4= 172 à 3000+172 == 3172 ( i.e completely 4 rows r filled , in fifth row up 7th cell is filled next cell is required address )
 

13 In the word ORGANISATIONAL, if the first and second, third and forth, fifth and sixth, etc words are interchanged, what would be the 12th letter from right?   
(Ans: ‘A’)
