4. Adobe Placement Papers Questions:
It had 4 sections(2 1/2 hrs)
1. Analytical Aptitude: 15 mins 15 Qs
2. Quantitative Aptitude: 30 mins 30 Qs
3. Engineering Test :13 Qs, 1 hr
4. C/Java Test 15-20 Qs, 45 mins
The first 2 are ultra-cool, no probs at all.
The fun starts with the third one:
Those thirteen questions are completely based on your problem solving capacity:
There are questions based on data-structures like
-height of a tree,
-finding second largest number in an array
-questions using finite automata
- write a pgm to find whether a m/c is little endian or big endian
- lots on bit-wise manipulation
i could answer 8 out of 13 qs very well.
The 4th test on C/Java(i took C): is almost the same as the third one with questions like
- print a number in hexadecimal format without using sprintf
- optimise the computations in the recursive "nth fibonacci number" algo without using iteration(fairly simple)
"Instead of using return(fib(n-2)+fib(n-1)), use init lofib=0,hifib=1, start with n=2,lofib=hifib;hifib=fib;fib=lofib+hifib"
-given any number say 12, find the next multiple of 8 eg 16 using bit-wise manipulations.
-exchange the integers in a matrix across the secondary diagonal(or non-major diagonal)
i tried hard but couldn't get a common formula for all cases.
and many more. No data structures book can directly help.
one should have very good capacity to solve problems in a very efficient manners.
One drawback about the test is that it is very lengthy.
They could have kept some qs for the interview. Nobody can attempt 28 programs in 1 hr 45 mins

13. Describe web.config in asp.net?
14. How to measure 4 liters of water using a 3 liter and a 5 liter jug?
7. How to measure 4 liters of water using a 3 liter and a 5 liter jug?
1. Make sure both jugs are empty.
2. Fill the 3 liter jug to the top.
3. Pour the contents of the 3 liter jug into the 5 liter jug.
4. Fill the 3 liter jug to the top.
5. Pour the contents of the 3 liter jug into the 5 liter jug until the 5 liter jug is full (i.e. contains exactly 5 liters of water.)
6. There should now be exactly 1 liter remaining in the 3 liter jug.
7. Empty the contents of the 5 liter jug and then pour the contents of the 1 liter jug into the 5 liter jug.
8. Now fill the 3 liter jug to the top. You now have 4 liters of water (1 liter in the 5 liter jug and 3 liters in the 3 liter jug).
Overloading happens when two or more function have the same function name but different return type and parameter.
eg: int sum(int a,int b);
int sum(int a,int b,int c);
The overloading happens in the same class i,e these function should be in the same class.
It happens in inheritance, when base class has a fucntion called "int sum(int a ,int b)" and the derived class also has the function "int sum(int a ,int b)".in this case we cannt access the base class class function by just creating an object of derived class.
If the base class function has the keyword Virtual then it means that the function should be overrided and we use the keyword Override.

12. An N-ary tree has N sub-nodes for each node, it has M non-leaf nodes
Find the no of leaf nodes?
consider a N-ary tree with depth d
Total no of nodes in the tree, T=1+N+N^2+...+N^d= (1-N^(d+1))/(1-N) --(1)
No. of non leaf nodes, M=(1-N^d)/(1-N) ---(2)
No. of leaf nodes = T-M = N^d ---(3)
from eq (2), d= log(base N) [MN-M+1] ---(4)
Therefore, no of leaf nodes = N^d = MN-M+1

22. ISRO Interview Procedure and Tips for Interview:
I have given info about my ISRO interview in my previous mail i am pasting it again here for reference. Some more questions all of which which was not asked to me but very important for interview because they were repeated for many candidates even on different dates. So i am listing them here
V. IMPORTANT: can this equation be solved tell verbally? x+y=5 ; 4x+4y=12; x+2y+3Z=20 .Answer: no solution since first two are contradicting so not possible
V. IMPORTANT: SQRT(170)=13 is it possible? Answer: it is possible the base may be other then 10 . We can find out the base let it be x. Then convert both side to decimal we get SQRT(x2 +7x+0)=x+3 => x2+7x=(x+3)2 => x=9 so for base 9 it is possible here "x2 etc means x square"
RISC and CISC
difference between array and structure
code for reversing link list (normal link list not doubly)
Mostly interview is on basics not deep into subject
In CS at Ahmedabad On 12 Sept only one out of 37 was asked about the project but on 13 everybody was asked about project
They are asking some very basic questions from Digital like K-map solving , gates etc
Generally DBMS was not asked
There were 8 person in panel and only one panel was there. there was a long round table between candidate and interviewers so we have to explain everything on board.
they asked about GATE score card ,percentile, why did not went for M.Tech. If you are doing M.Tech. or Job they may ask questions in your specialization
tell about your project
then some questions regarding project
favourite subjects ( I said DSA, C and DBMS . I didn't said OS because for OS they were asking w.r.t. Linux. In CN they may also ask general about Network Security ,firewall, encryption etc. CA include Digital, Microprocessor etc)
they are giving everybody a question from mathematics to solve on board, mostly to find the rank of matrix, solving linear equation (some tricky which can be answered without solving it properly) or probability.
They may give a K - Map to solve on board
In C(i told C as My favourite subject) they ask me about extern, static, linking, global variables, run time library , exit etc.
In DSA they ask me about expression evaluation infix ,postfix, how expression is evaluated etc
solve the equation x+y=5 ; 4x+4y=12; x+2y+3Z=20 .Answer: no solution since first two are contradicting so not possible
