Six knights - P,Q,R,S,T and U - assemble for a long journey in two
travelling parties. For security, each travelling party consists of at least
two knights. The two parties travel by separate routes, northern and
southern. After one month, the routes of the northern and southern groups
converge for a brief time and at that point he knights can, if they wish,
rearrange their travelling parties before continuing, again in two parties
along separate northern and southern routes. Throughout the entire trip, the
composition of travelling parties must be in accord with the following
conditions
P and R are deadly enemies and, although they may meet briefly, can never
travel together.
p must travel in the same party with s
Q cann't travel by the southern route
U cann't change routes

knights and travels by the southern route, the other members of this party
besides P and U must be.
a) Q and S
b) Q and T
c) R and S
d) R and T
e) S and T
Ans: e

Interview Pattern
Section 1:
In this section there are mainly questions based on C language like find the
errors in the program and what is the output of the following program.
some question i remember are
1) int i=10;
printf("%d %d %d",i++,i++,i--);
there is one or two more question on increment operator
2) Two question on redirection operator(>>)
3) int i=10;
if(1,i++,++i)
printf ("The value for i is %d",i);
4) one question on structure and u have to fine the error in the syntax
5) int a=10,b=33;
a=a^b;
b=a^b;
a=a^b;
printf("%d %d", a,b);
6) int *a;
int (*b)();
printf("%d %d",sizeof(a),sizeof(b);
7) # define SQR(a) (a*a)
void main()
{
printf("%d", SQR(5));
}
Cool And in another question # define directive is declared in the main()
function of the program and u have to predict the output of the program.?
9) what is the time complexity of bubble sort (Ans: O(n^2))
10) What is the size of the address bus and data bus in 8086?
11) address of IVT in 8086? |
