TCS Questions

Posting this here as my frnds asked to. It may help somebody preparing for TCS.


Hi guys, this s Sharma. I attended TCS interview in Vivekananda on 21st aug. gonna share some questions and some thoughts about the ques pattern, hope this helps u
First of all the TCS online test is very very easy. All that u need to crack is presence of mind and u shoud b active too. Almost preparation doesn’t plays a main role here.
There will b 35 questions full aptitude no synonyms, antonyms, comprehension. So guys who r may have a little lack of experience in English cheer up. One hour will b given to solve those questions.
Important: Caluculator can be used. They may ask u to use the system calculator. But it would b convenient if we go with our own calculator.
And the second thing to ponder about is that they will try to confuse you by giving so many irrelevant data. So make sure u r not spending time to understand a line of the question from which u r going to get nothing. U may get me If u see some examples.
Some questions that I can remember
1. 1,2,3,4,5. Find how many four digit numbers which can b divisible by four could be formed from those five numbers.

Its like the old trick finding a number could b divisible by 4. Adding last two digits,,,,,, bla bla

2. A scientist who s doing a research about that the skin colour of the animals could change according to the distance they travel across. One day he followed a bear 20 km north from his home and attached a sensor to track down the movement of the bear. And then he walked back 20 km south to reach his lab. What was the coulor of the bear when he tagged the sensor to it???

Seems silly right the choices are

a.red

b.grey

c.white

d.black

The answer is black. And keep in mind that the answer may b white if the bear was a polar bear. It’s a commonly known iq question. But here there s no detail that the bear lives in north pole.

Got it?

**3. ** Alice lived in wonderland and met a rat and lion on Monday,. The rat will tell lie on the following days sun, mon, tue and tell truth on the other days. The lion will tell lie on wed, thur, fri.

Rat: I have spoken a lie yesterday.

Lion : I too have spoken a lie yesterday.

What s the day?

a. Monday

b. Saturday

c. Tuesday

d. Wednesday

It’s a little bit tricky. I think the answer is Wednesday. Simple the lion lied that it lied on yesterday. Understand?
***4. (50*51/25)-(53*53) some question like this which could be solved with the help of the calc

5. A number series

16,5,31,12,?,26 the question will be so lengthy with some irrelevant data and the numbers given in words, ans 63

6. And a question which attracted me, Chennai corporation is going to name the buildings in a street from 1 to 100. The shops will be numbered from 100 to 150 and the prime numbers from 150 to 180. The question s how many 5 s will be used to number the buildings.

Its interesting while we get in to this,

they have not asked the numbering about the shop. So remove unwanted data

we have to just find out how many 5 s are there between 1 to 100. Its 19

7. Some problems regarding ratio and proportion

8. Probability

9. Pipes and tank filling problem

10. a man have to build a house for his 17 year old daughter ( and some irrelevant data) with the bricks each sized at 9 square meter to build a wall of 20 m wide and 40 m long.

Just find the area and divide by the size of the brick.


As I have told already ques r simple, be active do well. And of course if fate allows u ll b placed there.
All the best
