Ans:mass
Approach: power=work/time
hence numerator=(work*time)/time=work
work=Force*distance
Force=mass*acceleration
accelaration=distance/time^2

now numerator is (mass*distance^2) / (time^2)
denominator is (distance^2) / (time^2) since velocity=distance/time

TCS Placement Test Pattern

Test Consists of 3 Sections… + Psychometric TestTest on Synonyms & Antonyms (40 questions, 20 minutes: Also Q’s on Sentence Completion).

Aptitude Test (32 questions, 40 minutes: General Questions on Mathematics).

1. Critical Reasoning (30 Minutes: 3 Analysis Paragraphs & 12 questions Relating them).

2.Psychometric Test (150 Questions, 30 minutes: only if you Qualify in the above tests).

Details about How to Prepare for the above tests:

1. Verbal Ability paper:

This Test contains Synonyms & Antonyms…Almost all of them were From GRE BARRON’S 12^th Edition & upward…30-50% of them will be repeated from previous TCS papers. Few Questions on Sentence Completion were also there..for these also refer BARRON’S.

NOTE: During the Exam..you should be careful..because on the computer screen the names Synonyms & Antonyms will be placed side by side so that we may by mistake choose an antonym instead of a synonym…so Be Careful..

2. Aptitude Test questions:

This test will consist of very general questions…This is the easiest section Compared to the Other Two. Almost 70-80 Questions will be repeated from the Previous TCS Papers…just learn the method from those papers..same model will be given..(This happened almost all the times). If you have time refer to any Aptitude book of your interest…it may be R.S.AGARWAL or any Other……

3. Critical Reasoning Paper:



Here Starts your Problems…30 Minutes…12 questions..don’t think that there is a lot of Time..these will be somewhat tougher those who has some touch with such kind..& will be Very Tough.. if you haven’t seen this kind before..so,you should have some practice relating this kind of questions… 3 paragraphs will be given.. 3X4.. 12 questions.. first 2 paragraphs will be some twisty questions… like our arrangements questions… routes between cities.. like that… & the last one will be on Data Interpretation…



You prepare Data Interpretation again from BARRON’S…. but the remaining from R.S.AGARWAL-Reasoning…. Or from Barron’s 13^th Edition



4. TCS Psychometric Test:

This test comes up only if you qualify in the Aptitude test… This test consists of 150 questions which we should answer in 30 minutes (of course, that much time is not required) Don’t think that this test has no weightage.. there is filtering in this test too… this test tests your psychology.. Remember among 150 many questions were asked again & again in a

variety of ways.. so don’t get trapped… be honest while attempting this test.. choose what you’re your heart says.. it will take you through the test..

This ends the Tests……

INTERVIEWS:

Now if you are Alive Even after All these tests….then you have to face a Technical Interview…

It may be on the same day of the Test.. so be Prepared in Advance…..

The Interview will be done by a Panel of 2 members…. No need to worry.. They will be Very supporting & Friendly.. First they ask us to Introduce ourselves… then they’ll go into your project details… don’t forget to prepare project…. They mainly concentrate on your project only…so be confident on every aspect of your project… then you should have some basic knowledge on C language. There will be some questions like “what is the o/p of this code?”, “what are the errors in the code?”..like that… so be prepared for all the basic concepts.. If needed you have to write some small codes too.. at the end they will ask some general questios like “Why TCS?”, “Where do you see yourself in the next five years?”, “do you have any questions?”, try ask some questions… it shows your interest in the Company..

HR paper (human resource interview):

Now if Chase this one too…. Then comes your Final Attack.. the HR Interview Round… I many times heard that “I failed in HR round!”.. likewise anwers…. But you should not fail in it.. because it involves no technical interview questions… it just dwell into your innerself… so, be confident & frank while facing this round…They generally ask questions like “Tell about yourself?”, “Who r your role models?”, “What is your weakness?”, don’t say “I Have no weakness!”, just prepare a small weakness for yourself that causes no harm to your future…O.K.. “What is your mother tongue?”

Be cool In the Interview its all about technique.
