11.A hare and a tortoise have a race along a circle of 100 yards diameter. The tortoise goes in one direction and the hare in the other. The hare starts after the tortoise has covered 1/5 of its distance and that too leisurely. The hare and tortoise meet when the hare has covered only 1/8 of the distance. By what factor should the hare increase its speed so as to tie the race?

a. 8

b. 37.80

c. 5

d. 40

ANS :b

hint:in the first case time taken by hare to reach 1/8 of distance and tortoise to cover 1-1/5-1/8=27/40 of distance is same.in the second case time taken by tortoise to reach 1/8 of distance and hare to cover 7/8 of distance is equal.so equate these 2 eqns to get the increase in speed by hare!
let x be total distance
in first case
(27/40)x/speed of tortoise=(1/8)x/speed of hare
in 2nd case
(1/8)x/speed of tortoise=(7/8)x/new speed of hare
divide eqn 1 by 2 to get increase in speed by hare!

a. (2+ 7√2):1

b. 1:(2+ 6√2)

c. 1:(4+ 7√3)

d. 1:(2+ 7c2)

ANS: b

hint 12r+2√2r=l√2

where r is the radius and l is length of side of square.here is a pic of how to solve this question

13.On the planet Oz, there are 8 days in a week- Sunday to Saturday and another day called Oz day. There are 36 hours in a day and each hour has 90 min while each minute has 60 sec. As on earth, the hour hand covers the dial twice every day.
Find the approximate angle between the hands of a clock on Oz when the time is 12:40 am.
a. 251
b.111
c.71
d.89
ANS: d




14.Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 9 +X + Y– Z where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu
would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal
strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be
a. 27
b. 18
c. 20
d. 0.0

ANS:c
hint:just trial and error,the values taken by alok are 7,9 and 9(check yourself!)in our aptitude exam(cusat) the same question was asked with 9 changed as 7.in that case just remember the formula x+y-z=11! and apply!


15.A person drives with constant speed and after some time he sees a milestone with 2 digits. Then travels for 1 hours and sees the same 2 digits in reverse order. 1 hours later he sees that the milestone has the same 2 digits with a 0 between them. What is the speed of the car?
a.54.00 mph
b.45.00 mph
c.27.00 mph
d.36.00 mph
ANS: b
s=speed
"Then travels for 1 hour and sees the same 2 digits in reverse order."
10x + y + 1s = 10y + x
10x - x + s = 10y - y
9x + s = 9y

1 hours later he sees that the milestone has the same 2 digits with a 0 between them."
10y + x + s = 100x + y
10y - y + s = 100x - x
9y + s = 99x

Rearrange the above two equations for elimination
9x - 9y + s = 0
-99x+9y + s = 0
----------------adding eliminates y
-90x + 2s = 0
2s = 90x
s = 45x
x has to equal 1, then s = 45 mph (If x=2 and s=90 mph, when added to
a two digit milestone, could not be at another two digit milestone.)


16.

Fermat’s Last Theorem is a statement in number theory which states that it is impossible to separate any power higher than the second into two like powers, or, more precisely- If an integer n is greater than 2, then the equation a^n b^n = c^n has no solutions in non-zero integers a, b, and c.

Tips to write a good resume

1. Know the purpose well


Some people write a resume as if the purpose of the document was to land a job. As a result they end up with a really long and boring piece that makes them look like desperate job hunters. The objective of your resume is to land an interview, and the interview will land you the job (hopefully!).


2. Back up your qualities and strengths


Instead of creating a long (and boring) list with all your qualities (e.g., disciplined, creative, problem solver) try to connect them with real life and work experiences. In other words, you need to back these qualities and strengths up, else it will appear that you are just trying to inflate things.


3. Check it twice,thrice or more


.One small typing or grammar mistake may make you lose your job. checking it once is not enough, so do it twice, three times or as many times as necessary.


4. Use bullet points


No companywill have the time (or patience) to read long paragraphs of text. Make sure, therefore, to use bullet points and short sentences to describe your experiences, educational background and skills.


5. Objective

Write a catchy objective to catch the attention of employer.


6. Attention to the typography


First of all make sure that your fonts are big enough. The smaller you should go is 11 points, but 12 is probably safer. Do not use capital letters all over the place, remember that your goal is to communicate a message as fast and as clearly as possible. Arial and Times are good choices.


7. Avoid negative information


Do not include information that might sound negative in the eyes of the employer. This is valid both to your resume and to interviews. You don’t need to include, for instance, things that you hated about your last company.


8. Achievements instead of responsibilities


Resumes that include a long list of “responsibilities included…” are plain boring, and not efficient in selling yourself. Instead of listing responsibilities, therefore, describe your professional achievements.


9. No pictures


Sure, we know that you are good looking, but unless you are applying for a job where the physical traits are very important (e.g., modeling, acting and so on), and unless the employer specifically requested it, you should avoid attaching your picture to the resume.


10. You don’t need to list all your work experiences


If you have job experiences that you are not proud of, or that are not relevant to the current opportunity, you should just omit them. Mentioning that you used to sell hamburgers when you were 17 is probably not going to help you land that executive position.:)


11. Don’t include irrelevant information


Irrelevant information such as political affiliation, religion and sexual preference will not help you. In fact it might even hurt your chances of landing an interview. Just skip it.


12. Use Mr. and Ms. if appropriate


If you have a gender neutral name like Alex or Ryan make sure to include the Mr. or Ms. prefix, so that employers will not get confused about your gender.


13. No lies, please


Seems like a no brainer, but you would be amused to discover the amount of people that lie in their resumes. Even small lies should be avoided. Apart from being wrong, most HR departments do background checks these days, and if you are buster it might ruin your credibility for good.


14. Use a good printer


If you are going to use a paper version of your resume, make sure to use a decent printer. Laser printers usually get the job done. Plain white paper is the preferred one as well.


15. No fancy design details


Do not use a colored background, fancy fonts or images on your resume. Sure, you might think that the little flowers will cheer up the document, but other people might just throw it away at the sight.

The following important points are to be taken care of while attending an interview

1)Preparation and self assessment:-You should always be confident about your ability and skill and should prepare well for the interview.Remember “if you fail to prepare then prepare to fail”.You should think of each minute you spend in preparing as potential investment in your bright career.You should not blame for lack of time for preparing or circumstamces .Sir George Bernad shah said
People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get ahead in this world are people who get up and look for the circumstances they want; and if they can’t find them, make them.
2)Know well about the Company:-You should have thorough knowledge about the company as it will definitely be asked.You should know about the C.E.O,Managers the companys branches etc.You can get this knowledge from the internet either from company's official website or from any other sources.Also try to understand about companies turnover and if possible the history also.

4)What should I take:-you should take the resume
and it will be good if you have a copy of it.you must
also take the cerificates or easy to read documentsof
any achievements or any extracurricular activities that you have mentioned in the resume because interviewer might ask for it.

More important tips
You should
Come a little early
Address the interviewer by title and name

Group Discussion is conducted by the selection committee to test whether a student has the ability or skills that the company is searching such as team work,leadership skills,directing skills,motivation,confidentiality etc.Many people misconcept GD as Debate but it is not true.In a Debate we are given a topic and we can stand either 'against' or 'for' and talk without any interruption.But in a GD we have to enter into a common solution at the end.we can either stand against or for or both and we may be frequently interrupted by other groupmembers.In short debate is one to many and GD is many to many.


GD is started by forming a group of 10-12 members under a moderator.Moderator will give a topic to discuss for and there are basically three types of GD topics.They are
1)Knowledge Based:-Here a topic of current interest will be given and students have to discuss about the topic for 10-15 minutes.This requires fair knowledge about the topic.If you dont know anything about the topic then just listen to what others have to say and note down the points and create your own ideas from it and talk.
2)Abstract Topics:-This relate to intangible things or topics for eg:'z is the last alphabet in english'.'we get what we give'!etc.These topics doesnt need any sound knowledge.only adaptibility matters.
3)Case Based Topics:-Here a case with leading questions at the end is given to the candidates.and the team will have to solve the problem.SInce a question can be solved in many ways there may be different solutions by different members and they can arrive at a common solution.


Tips to Score in GD
Having discussed about the different types of GroupDiscussion,now lets discuss about the things we need to do perform well in a GD
1)Always try to be the initator of the topic.That means you try to be the first one to speak about the topic.This alone will earn you fair points in GD.The initiator should discuss the problem statement and explain the topic to the group
2)Never look at the moderator:-This is a commmon mistake done by many students.You should make uniform eye contact with other groupmembers while you are explaining.You will lose points if you look at the moderator only.
3)Never Question other Members points.you should not do this for only the sake of asking questions.But you can ask questions if you genuinly didnt understand what others have told
4)Avoid using the words Actually,To be honest,You know etc.This will make a negative impression on the moderator
5)Body Language:-This is the most important thing you have to concentrate on.You should not be emotional or outburst.Always be cool and confident and appreciate what others say instead of opposing them without any solid reasons
6)Contribution:-Always be active throughout the interview
7)Quality:-You should always speak quality and logical content.This can be improved by reading newspapers,magazines etc
8)Show your Leadership Skills:-This is the most important point the moderator will watch out for.for example if anyone doesnt speak at all in a GD you can urge him to talk thereby showing our leadership skills.
9)clarifications:-if you have any doubts you should clarify it before the discussion commences
10)summarising:-Always try to summarise the topic with the most apt solution taking into account all other members views.
Dont be disappointed if you couldnt do well in your first GD.
