Directions for Questions 11-15:Read the passage and answer the questions that follow
on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from

miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated
Circuit (IC). Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from
individual small-scale Integrated Circuits containing the equivalent of only a few
transistors. By integrating the processor onto one or a very few large-scale Integrated
Circuit packages (containing the equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete
transistors) , the cost of processor power was greatly reduced.

The evolution of microprocessors has been known to follow Moore's Law when it comes
to steadily increasing performance over the years. This law suggests that the complexity
of an Integrated Circuit with respect to minimum component cost will double in about 18
months. From humble beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the continued increase in
power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over every other form of computer;
every system from the largest mainframes to the smallest handheld computers now uses
a microprocessor at their core. .As with many advances in technology, the
microprocessor was an idea wbose time had come. Three projects arguably delivered a
complete microprocessor at about the same time: Intel's 4004, Texas Instruments'
TMS1000, and Garrett AiResearch's Central Air Data Computer. . A computer-on- a-chip
is a variation of a microprocessor, which combines the microprocessor core (CPU), some
memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one chip. The proper meaning of
microcomputer is a computer using a (number of) microprocessor( s) as its CPU(s),
while the concept of the patent is somewhat more similar to a micro controller.

11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?

A) Electronic computer
B) Central Processing Unit
C) Memory disk
D) A single integrated chip circuit.

12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.

A) 11icroprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other.
B) Integration of processing power on chips has made processing power cheaper.
C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from individual small scale ICs.
D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it.

13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?
A) Microsoft
B) Intel
C) Texas Instruments
D) Garret

14) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of microprocessors?

A) Drivers for calculators
B) Core for large mainframes
C) Advanced mobile phones
D) Used for small handheld computers

15) "A number of microprocessors at its CPU" is an apt description of a:

A) Micro-controller
B) Micro-computer
C) Micro-processor
D) Micro-transistor

Directions for Questions 11-16:Read the passage and answer the questions that follow
on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

The pioneers of the teaching of science imagined that its introduction into education
would remove the conventionality, artificiality, and backward-lookingness which were
characteristic;of classical studies, but they were gravely disappointed. So, too, in their
time had the humanists thought that the study of the classical authors in the original
would banish at once the dull pedantry and superstition of mediaeval scholasticism. The
professional schoolmaster was a match for both of them, and has almost managed to
make the understanding of chemical reactions as dull and as dogmatic an affair as the
reading of Virgil's Aeneid. The chief claim for the use of science in education is that it
teaches a child something about the actual universe in which he is living, in making him
acquainted with the results of scientific discovery, and at the same time teaches him
how to think logically and inductively by studying scientific method. A certain limited
success has been reached in the first of these aims, but practically none at all in the
second. Those privileged members of the community who have been through a
secondary or public school education may be expected to know something about the
elementary physics and chemistry of a hundred years ago, but they probably know
hardly more than any bright boy can pick up from an interest in wireless or scientific
hobbies out of school hours. As to the learning of scientific method, the whole thing is
palpably a farce. Actually, for the convenience of teachers and the requirements of the
examination system, it is necessary that the pupils not only do not learn scientific
method but learn precisely the reverse, that is, to believe exactly what they are told and
to reproduce it when asked, whether it seems nonsense to them or not. The way in
which educated people respond to such quackeries as spiritualism or astrology, not to
say more dangerous ones such as racial theories or currency myths,shows that fifty
years of education in the method of science in Britain or Germany has produced no
visible effect whatever. The only way of learning the method of science is the long and
bitter way of personal experience, and, until the educational or social systems are
altered to make this possible, the best we can expect is the production of a minority of
people who are able to acquire some of the techniques of science and a still smaller
minority who are able to use and develop them.

11. The author implies that the 'professional schoolmaster' has

A. no interest in teaching science
B. thwarted attempts to enliven education

12. The author's attitude to secondary and public school education in the sciences is

A. empirically

C. lack of direct experience
D. the social and education systems

Furthermore, insofar as any conclusion about its author can be drawn from five or six
plays attributed to him, the Wakefield Master is without exception considered to be a
man of sharp contemporary observation. He was, probably clerically educated, as
indicated by his Latin and music, his Biblical and patristic lore. Even today he is
remembered for his his quick sympathy for the oppressed and forgotten man, his sharp
eye for character, a ready ear for colloquial, vernacular turns of speech and a humor
alternately rude and boisterous, coarse and happy. Therefore in spite of his conscious
artistry as can be seen in his feeling for intricate metrical and stanza forms, he is
regarded as a kind of medieval Steinbeck, indignantly angry at, uncompromisingly and
even brutally realistic in presenting the plight of the agricultural poor.It is now fairly
accepted to regard the play as a kind of ultimate point in the secularization of the
medieval drama. Therefore more stress has been laid on it as depicting realistically
humble manners and pastoral life in the bleak of the west riding of Yorkshire on a
typically cold night of December 24th. After what are often regarded as almost
"documentaries" given in the three successive monologues of the three shepherds,
critics go on to affirm that the realism is then intensified into a burlesque mock-
treatment of the Nativity. Finally as a sort of epilogue or after-thought in deference to
the Biblical origins of the materials, the play slides back into an atavistic mood of early
innocent reverence. In actuality, the final scene is the culminating scene and also the
raison d'etre of the introductory "realism."Superficially the present play supports the
conventional view of its mood of secular realism. At the same time, the "realism" of the
Wakefield Master is of a paradoxical turn. His wide knowledge of people, as well as books
indicates no cloistered contemplative but one in close relation to his times. Still, that life
was after all a predominantly religious one, a time which never neglected the belief that
man was a rebellious and sinful creature in need of redemption . So deeply (one can
hardly say "naively" of so sophisticated a writer) and implicitly religious is the Master
that he is less able (or less willing) to present actual history realistically than is the
author of the Brome Abraham and Isaac. His historical sense is even less realistic than
that of Chaucer who just a few years before had done for his own time "costume
romances," such as The Knight's Tele, Troilus and Cressida, etc. Furthermore, used
highly romantic materials, which could excuse his taking liberties with history.

Directions for Questions 11-15:

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information
provided in the passage.

Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from

miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated
Circuit (IC). Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from
individual small-scale Integrated Circuits containing the equivalent of only a few
transistors. By integrating the processor onto one or a very few large-scale Integrated
Circuit packages (containing the equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete
transistors) , the cost of processor power was greatly reduced.
The evolution of microprocessors has been known to follow Moore's Law when it comes
to steadily increasing performance over the years. This law suggests that the complexity
of an Integrated Circuit with respect to minimum component cost will double in about 18
months. From humble beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the continued increase
in power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over every other form of
computer; every system
from the largest mainframes to the smallest handheld computers now uses a
microprocessor at their core. .As with many advances in technology, the microprocessor
was an idea wbose time had come. Three projects arguably delivered a complete
microprocessor at about the same time: Intel's 4004, Texas Instruments' TMS1000, and
Garrett AiResearch's Central Air Data
Computer. . A computer-on- a-chip is a variation of a microprocessor,
which combines the microprocessor core (CPU), some memory, and I/O (input/output)
lines, all on one chip. The proper meaning of microcomputer is a computer using a
(number of) microprocessor( s) as its CPU(s), while the concept of the patent is
somewhat more similar to a micro controller.
11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?

A) Electronic computer

B) Central Processing Unit

C) Memory disk

D) A single integrated chip circuit. Ans... c

12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.

D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it. Ans... c

13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?

A) Microsoft

B) Intel

C) Texas Instruments

D) Garret Ans... a

14) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of microprocessors?

A) Drivers for calculators

B) Core for large mainframes

C) Advanced mobile phones

D) Used for small handheld computers Ans... c

Ans: C Directions for Questions 11-16: Read the passage and answer the questions
that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage. The pioneers of the
teaching of science imagined that its introduction into education would remove the
conventionality, artificiality, and backward-lookingness which were characteristic;of
classical studies, but they were gravely disappointed. So, too, in their time had the
humanists thought that the study of the classical authors in the original would banish at
once the dull pedantry and superstition of mediaeval scholasticism. The professional
schoolmaster was a match for both of them, and has almost managed to make the
understanding of chemical reactions as dull and as dogmatic an affair as the reading of
Virgil's Aeneid. The chief claim for the use of science in education is that it teaches a
child something about the actual universe in which he is living, in making him
acquainted with the results of scientific discovery, and at the same time teaches him
how to think logically and inductively by studying scientific method. A certain limited
success has been reached in the first of these aims, but practically none at all in the
second. Those privileged members of the community who have been through a
secondary or public school education may be expected to know something about the
elementary physics and chemistry of a hundred years ago, but they probably know
hardly more than any bright boy can pick up from an interest in wireless or scientific
hobbies out of school hours. As to the learning of scientific method, the whole thing is
palpably a farce. Actually, for the convenience of teachers and the requirements of the
examination system, it is necessary that the pupils not only do not learn scientific
method but learn precisely the reverse, that is, to believe exactly what they are told
and to reproduce it when asked, whether it seems nonsense to them or not. The way in
which educated people respond to such quackeries as spiritualism or astrology, not to
say more dangerous ones such as racial theories or currency myths, shows that fifty
years of education in the method of science in Britain or Germany has produced no
visible effect whatever. The only way of learning the method of science is the long and
bitter way of personal experience, and, until the educational or social systems are
altered to make this possible, the best we can expect is the production of a minority of
people who are able to acquire some of the techniques of science and a still smaller
minority who are able to use and develop them.

education in science to see how things have changed since he wrote the piece, he would
probably be most interested in the answer to which of the following questions? a) Do
students know more about the world about them? b) Do students spend more time in
laboratories? c) Can students apply their knowledge logically? d) Have textbooks
improved? e) Do they respect their teachers Ans: c 16. Astrology (line 31) is mentioned
as an example of a) A science that needs to be better understood
b) A belief which no educated people hold
c) Something unsupportable to those who have absorbed the methods of science
d) The gravest danger to society
e) An acknowledged failure of science Ans: c Directions for Questions 17-20: Read the
passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in
the passage. Furthermore, insofar as any conclusion about its author can be drawn from
five or six plays attributed to him, the Wakefield Master is without exception considered
to be a man of sharp contemporary observation. He was, probably clerically educated, as
indicated by his Latin and music, his Biblical and patristic lore. Even today he is
remembered for his his quick sympathy for the oppressed and forgotten man, his sharp
eye for character, a ready ear for colloquial, vernacular turns of speech and a humor
alternately rude and boisterous, coarse and happy. Therefore in spite of his conscious
artistry as can be seen in his feeling for intricate metrical and stanza forms, he is
regarded as a kind of medieval Steinbeck, indignantly angry at, uncompromisingly and
even brutally realistic in presenting the plight of the agricultural poor. It is now fairly
accepted to regard the play as a kind of ultimate point in the secularization of the
medieval drama. Therefore more stress has been laid on it as depicting realistically
humble manners and pastoral life in the bleak of the west riding of Yorkshire on a
typically cold night of December 24th. After what are often regarded as almost
''documentaries'' given in the three successive monologues of the three shepherds,
critics go on to affirm that the realism is then intensified into a burlesque mock-
treatment of the Nativity. Finally as a sort of epilogue or after-thought in deference to
the Biblical origins of the materials, the play slides back into an atavistic mood of early
innocent reverence. In actuality, the final scene is the culminating scene and also the
raison d’etre of the introductory ''realism.'' Superficially the present play supports the
conventional view of its mood of secular realism. At the same time, the ''realism'' of the
Wakefield Master is of a paradoxical turn. His wide knowledge of people, as well as books
indicates no cloistered contemplative but one in close relation to his times. Still, that life
was after all a predominantly religious one, a time which never neglected the belief that
man was a rebellious and sinful creature in need of redemption . So deeply (one can
hardly say ''naively'' of so sophisticated a writer) and implicitly religious is the Master
that he is less able (or less willing) to present actual history realistically than is the
author of the Brome Abraham and Isaac. His historical sense is even less realistic than
that of Chaucer who just a few years before had done for his own time ''costume
romances,'' such as The Knight's Tele, Troilus and Cressida, etc. Furthermore, used
highly romantic materials, which could excuse his taking liberties with history.
17. Of the following statements, which is not true of Wakefield Master?
a) He and Chaucer were contemporaries. b) Wakefield Master is remembered as having
written five or six realistic plays. c) His plays realistically portray the plight of the
country folk of his day d) His writing was similar to that of John Steinbeck. e) He was an
accomplished artist. Ans: d

19. The statement about the ''secularization of the medieval drama'' (opening sentence
of the second paragraph) refers to the
a) Introduction of religious themes in the early days b) Presentation of erudite material
c) Use of contemporary materials d) Return to early innocent reverence at the end of the
play e) Introduction of mundane matters in religious plays Ans: e
20. From the following what would the writer be expected to do in the subsequent
paragraphs.
a) Make a justification for his comparison with Steinbeck b) Put forth a view point, which
would take up the thought of the second paragraph c) Point out the anachronisms in the
play d) Discuss the works of Chaucer e) Talk about the lack of realism in the works of
the Wakefield Master. Ans: b Section 2: Analytical Ability

Directions for Questions 11-15: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow
on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
The existence of mammals on the earth can be traced back to at least the Triassic time.
The rate of development was retarded, till evolutional change suddenly accelerated in
the oldest Paleocene. This resulted in an increase in average size, larger mental
capacity, and special adaptations for different modes of life, during the Eocene time.
Further improvement was seen during the Oligocene Epoch, with the appearance of
some new lines and extinction of others. The Miocene and Pliocene times are especially
significant as they mark the culmination of various groups and a continued approach
toward modern characters. It is in the Miocene time that the mammals reached their
peak with reference to variety and size.
The ability of the mammals to adapt to various modes of life finds a parallel in the
reptiles of the Mesozoic time, and apart form their greater intelligence, the mammals
apparently have not done much better than the corresponding reptilian forms.
Undoubtedly the bat is a better flying animal than the pterosaur, but at the same time
the dolphin and whale are hardly more fish like than the ichthyosaur. Quite a few of the
swift-running mammals inhabiting the plains, like the horse and the antelope, must excel
any of the dinosaurs. Although the tyrannosaur was a more weighty and robust
carnivore than perhaps any carnivorous mammal, the lion and the tiger, by virtue of
their superior brain are far more efficient and dangerous beasts of prey. It is significant
to note that various species of mammals gradually adapted themselves to various kinds
of lifestyles, some took to grazing on the plains and were able to run swiftly (horse,
deer, bison), others started living in rivers and swamps (hippopotamus, beaver),
inhabiting trees (sloth, monkey), burrowing underground (rodent, mole), feeding on
flesh (tiger, wolf), swimming in the water (dolphin, whale, seal), and flying in the air
(bat). Human beings on account of their superior brain have been able to harness
mechanical methods to conquer the physical world and adapt to any set of conditions.
Such adaptation to different conditions leads to a gradual change in form and structure.
This is a biological characteristic of the youthful, plastic stage of a group. It is seen that
early in its evolutional cycle animals possess the capacity for change, but as the animal
progresses in its cycle becoming old and fixed, this capacity for change disappears. The
generalized types of organisms retain longest the ability to make adjustments when
required, and it is from them that new, fecund stocks take origin-certainly not from any
specialized end products. With reference to mammals, we see their birth, plastic spread
in many directions, increased specialization, and in some cases, extinction; this is a
characteristic of the evolution of life, which can be seen in the geologic record of life.

Questions 41 - 42
Successfully adjusting to one's environment leads to happiness. War at a universal level
war destroys the weaker people, who are the most unable to adjust to their
environment. Thus, war at the universal level puts weaklings out of their misery and
allows more space for their predators to enjoy life in a better manner. As those actions
have to be performed, which maximize the level of happiness of the greatest number,
war at a universal level should take place.

Directions for Questions 11-15: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow
on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
The existence of mammals on the earth can be traced back to at least the Triassic time.
The rate of development was retarded, till evolutional change suddenly accelerated in
the oldest Paleocene. This resulted in an increase in average size, larger mental
capacity, and special adaptations for different modes of life, during the Eocene time.
Further improvement was seen during the Oligocene Epoch, with the appearance of
some new lines and extinction of others. The Miocene and Pliocene times are especially
significant as they mark the culmination of various groups and a continued approach
toward modern characters. It is in the Miocene time that the mammals reached their
peak with reference to variety and size.
The ability of the mammals to adapt to various modes of life finds a parallel in the
reptiles of the Mesozoic time, and apart form their greater intelligence, the mammals
apparently have not done much better than the corresponding reptilian forms.
Undoubtedly the bat is a better flying animal than the pterosaur, but at the same time
the dolphin and whale are hardly more fish like than the ichthyosaur. Quite a few of the
swift-running mammals inhabiting the plains, like the horse and the antelope, must excel
any of the dinosaurs. Although the tyrannosaur was a more weighty and robust
carnivore than perhaps any carnivorous mammal, the lion and the tiger, by virtue of
their superior brain are far more efficient and dangerous beasts of prey. It is significant
to note that various species of mammals gradually adapted themselves to various kinds
of lifestyles, some took to grazing on the plains and were able to run swiftly (horse,
deer, bison), others started living in rivers and swamps (hippopotamus, beaver),
inhabiting trees (sloth, monkey), burrowing underground (rodent, mole), feeding on
flesh (tiger, wolf), swimming in the water (dolphin, whale, seal), and flying in the air
(bat). Human beings on account of their superior brain have been able to harness
mechanical methods to conquer the physical world and adapt to any set of conditions.
Such adaptation to different conditions leads to a gradual change in form and structure.
This is a biological characteristic of the youthful, plastic stage of a group. It is seen that
early in its evolutional cycle animals possess the capacity for change, but as the animal
progresses in its cycle becoming old and fixed, this capacity for change disappears. The
generalized types of organisms retain longest the ability to make adjustments when
required, and it is from them that new, fecund stocks take origin-certainly not from any
specialized end products. With reference to mammals, we see their birth, plastic spread
in many directions, increased specialization, and in some cases, extinction; this is a
characteristic of the evolutionof life, which can be seen in the geologic record of life.
11. From the following, choose the most appropriate title for the above passage?
From Dinosaur to Man
Adaptation and Extinction
The Superior Mammals
The Geologic Life Span
Man, the Vanquisher of the Physical World.
Answer : B

12. According to the passage the chronological order of the geologic periods is:
Paleocene, Miocene, Triassic, Mesozoic

Answer : E

13. From the above passage, we can infer that, the pterosaur
resembled the bat
was a Mesozoic mammal
was a flying reptile
inhabited the seas
evolved during the Miocene period
Answer : C

14. As inferred from the passage, the largest number of mammals were found in which
of the following periods?
Triassic period
Eocene period
Oligocene epoch
Pliocene period
Miocene period
Answer : E

15. Among the following statements, which statement, if true, would weaken the
argument put forth in the first sentence of Paragraph 1?
It has been found that the tryannosaur had a larger brain, than was previously known.
Within the next thousand years, mammals will become extinct.
Recently certain forms of flying ichthyosaurs have been discovered.
It has now been proved, that the tiger is more powerful than the carnivorous reptiles.
It is now possible to double human mental capacity, by the use of certain recently
developed computers.
Answer : A

Questions 41 - 42
Successfully adjusting to one's environment leads to happiness. War at a universal level
war destroys the weaker people, who are the most unable to adjust to their
environment. Thus, war at the universal level puts weaklings out of their misery and
allows more space for their predators to enjoy life in a better manner. As those actions
have to be performed, which maximize the level of happiness of the greatest number,
war at a universal level should take place.

41. What response would the author of the above discussion come up with, in the case
of the objection that the weaklings far exceed strong people?

3. TECHNICAL INTERVIEW
We were asked to return to the same room after lunch and we did. It was now 2:45
pm and we were then asked to give the forms that we had filled. When they started calling
the names of the people from whom they want the form, I found I was the first one of
them! I didn’t understand why they were asking for the form but then I came to know 10
of us were taken near the interview rooms, and asked to wait outside, I, being at the top
of the list of 10! I then thought I cannot prepare for the interview now and then I didn’t.
After 5-10 minutes, we came to know 2 people were sent for the technical interview and
2 for the HR simultaneously. So, I and one of my classmate were sent for technical
interview, and our another classmate and one more person was sent for the HR.

Since I was the first person, as soon as I entered:

He said- Hi (he was sounding cool, and he aged about 35-40)
I paused for 3-4 seconds and said (with a cool smile that I came to a nice person) - Good
Afternoon Sir!
He- Had your lunch?
I- Yes sir! May I have a seat?
He said (with a smile)- Oh yes, you are supposed to!
I- Thank you Sir!
He- Tell me something about you
I- I did…
He asked (interrupting after about 20 seconds) - Have you done any project?
I- Yes sir, I have recently completed my minor project in ASP.net, shall I tell something
about it?
He- Yes please go ahead!
I- I have build up a portal website, so I explained everything along with the problems we
faced and key learning. We were three members in a team and I explained the role of
each and every one. I told him we are using Visual Studio 2005 with MS Access. I was the
main designer in my team and others were handling the database entries. (He was
impressed)
He then asked- How did you connected with the database?
I- I explained about the Gridview control and AccessDataSource contol and their properties
that are needed to be altered for the connection (He was impressed again)
He- Have you worked in Java?
I- No Sir, but I have a very good command on C, C++ (He gave a satisfactory smile)
He- Ok still can you explain the meaning of ASP
I- I explained the meaning, use and importance of ASP and Visual Studio 2005 (He was
impressed again)
He- Why didn’t you use Java? Do you know about it?
I- Yes sir, I know, like active server pages (ASP) we can also build JSP … and I compared
both of them telling the advantages of ASP (He was satisfied!)
He asked- Ok do you know about polymorphism?
I- I told him with an example of add( ) function having many forms
He- Ok, what is Inheritance?
I- I explained the whole concept with an example.
He asked (in between) - Then what is parent class?
I- I explained with the support of the same example, and elaborated my answer.
He asked- Then, do you know what do we call a class that cannot be instantiated?
I- “Abstract class” I also explained why? (He was completely impressed)

He then did some markings like he was doing throughout the interview, and happily asked
me to go.
I said “Thank You sir. Have a nice day sir”.
I was convinced I am selected for HR, but I was asked to wait for 5 minutes. After
5 mins I called for the HR interview.

4. HR INTERVIEW
 As soon as I entered the room I found that it was the same lady who handed me
the gift in the auditorium. Approaching her, I gave her a pleasant smile and I got the
acknowledgment that she remember me, as soon as she also smiled.

I- Good afternoon Ma’m

She- Good afternoon
I- May I have a seat?
She- Sure, please (smiling)
I- Thank you ma’m
She said- So, Rajat. Tell me something about yourself
I did, but after 2-3 lines of introduction, I was thinking back of the mind that how should
I continue (though there was a lot of things left to be told in my introduction). So I
asked her- And mam, please you tell what would you like to know more about me?
She- Tell me about your hobbies (With a smile)
I- I told her I play music and I have done a course in meditation and had learned about
therapy as well.
She- Can you please tell me about the therapy course (With a question mark on her
face)
I- I did…
She said- Ok! So, have you done any project?
(She was evaluating all the time so rapidly as if she don’t need to interview me. And I
think, since the evaluation paper was same that was in TI, she read about my
performance in the TI. That is why she was evaluating me fast and asked this question)
I- I explained mentioning the technology, key learning and importance (but in 2
sentences, non-technically).
She- Why do you want to join accenture?
I- I want to work with leaders…
She- There are leaders in every fields, so why accenture then?
I- Since I deliver my highest performance every time, I want to be a part of the
company that demands High Performance (She was impressed)
She- So are you ready to work on any technology?
I- Yes I can…
She- Are you ready to sign the agreement with accenture?
I- Yes I am…
She- Ok Rajat, you can go
I- Thank you mam. Have a nice day mam.

I was convinced I am selected but they sent me in a control room and asked me
to wait till the END. Since I was the 1st person to be interviewed, I waited alone in that
room for 10 mins and then others started to join me. From there we were sent to another
room where we waited upto about 7.00 pm and then result was declared in that classroom
only.
THE FIGURES- 55 were selected finally out of 71 who were interviewed (36 were from our
college)

Questions were like following example:

man of the tournament last year for taking 24 wickets last year. He is:
a) Selected b) Rejected c) Referred to Chairman d)Data
Insufficient

(These questions are also easy if you draw a table with names of the aspirant in rows
and criteria in the columns, and then checking whether he/she fulfils it or not)

Q.50- Q.55 were also a bit easy and were of two types:

Example of type 1:
If * means +, + means -, - means / and / means *, then what is the value of-
8+4-9*7/12+3

Example of type 2:
If * means /, / means -, - means + and + means *, then which of the following is true:
a) 7+43*2/13-7+8 = 22.6 b) 4-9*7/4*2/3-7+2 = 25 … …

(The type 1 are easier and less time consuming and type 2 are more time consuming but
still can be solved. 3 of the questions were of type1 and other 3 of type two)
Note: The Examples that I have given are almost the same questions that were asked to
us. Few examples are given by me to just make you understand the type pf question
since I don’t exactly remember the question.

Important things to be remembered:

Most of the questions were easy; all you need is time management and
accuracy. Try to attempt the paper in two passes. In the first pass, do all the less time
consuming questions and leave the others. Then start the paper again to do the
remaining questions. Doing this you may find that you have attempted 35-38 questions
in half the time (in 30-33 mins). So don’t feel low because paper is very easy!

interview towards a topic that you have prepared. Say NO if you don’t know answer but
ensure him that you can easily learn that thing or you would be aware of it if you study
about it.

CONFIDENCE is checked through out the process!!!

FLUENCY- English must be fluent. If you face TI first, you should be fluent there as well
because results are forwarded to HR and you get the advantage.

SMART and GOOD LOOKING people They want you to be smart in your answers. And as
per my experience, they prefer to choose good looking boy/girl.

ALL THE BEST to all the accenture aspirants. Hope to meet you in accenture.
Have a wonderful campus drive and get selected in just first chance!!!

Questions 11 - 20 :
questions 11 - 15 contains one comprehension followed by another comprehension from
ques 16 - 20... I will suggest you all to do the comprehensions at last.. and attempt the
first comprehension before than the second one...coz according to my experience first
comprehensions are always easier than the second one...
TIPS : DO THE COMPREHENSIONS AT LAST AND ALWAYS READ THE QUESTIONS FIRST
AND THEN LOOK FOR THE ANSWERS IN THE PASSAGE...NEVER WASTE YOUR TIME IN
READING THE WHOLE PASSAGE..
2nd section : consists of 20 questions which is based on quantitative as well as verbal
and non-verbal...
It contains questions from data sufficiency,venn diagram,time and work,percentage,time

questions are v.v.v.v.easy.. and so u will gain lots of confidence after solving these 8
questions.. if u can then solve the ques 53 - 55 also else leave it for later on as it is very
much time consuming...
IMPORTANT CHAPTERS TO BE DONE FOR THE APTITUDE TEST:
FOR ACCENTURE EMPHASIZE MORE ON VERBAL & VON-VERBAL RATHER THAN
QUANTITAVE...

1) LOGIC (syllogism).
2) DATA SUFFICIENCY.

Directions for Questions 11-15:

Readthe passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information
provided in the passage.

Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from

miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated
Circuit (IC). Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from
individual small-scale Integrated Circuits
containing the equivalent of only a few transistors. By integrating the processor onto one
or a very few large-scale Integrated Circuit packages (containing the equivalent of
thousands or millions of discrete transistors), the cost of processor power was greatly
reduced. The evolution of microprocessors has been known to follow Moore's Law when it
comes to steadily increasing performance over the years. This law suggests that the
complexity of an Integrated Circuit with respect to minimum component cost will double
in about 18 months. From humble beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the continued
increase in power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over every other form of
computer; every system from the largest mainframes to the smallest handheld computers
now uses a microprocessor at their core. .As with many advances in technology, the
microprocessor was an idea wbose time had come. Three projects arguably delivered a
complete microprocessor at about the same time: Intel's 4004, Texas Instruments'
TMS1000, and Garrett AiResearch's Central Air Data Computer. .
A computer-on-a-chip is a variation of a microprocessor, which combines the
microprocessor core (CPU), some memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one chip.
The proper meaning of microcomputer is a computer using a (number of)
microprocessor(s) as its CPU(s), while the concept of the patent is somewhat more similar
to a micro controller.
11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?
A) Electronic computer
B) Central Processing Unit
C) Memory disk
D) A single integrated chip circuit.
12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.
A) 11icroprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other.
B) Integration of processing power on chips has made processing power cheaper.
C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from individual small scale ICs.
D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it.
13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?
A) Microsoft
B) Intel
C) Texas Instruments
D) Garret
14) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of microprocessors?
A) Drivers for calculators
B) Core for large mainframes
C) Advanced mobile phones
D) Used for small handheld computers
15) "A number of microprocessors at its CPU" is an apt description of a:
A) 11icro-controller
B) Micro-computer
C) Micro-processor
D) Micro-transistor

Directions for Questions 16-20:

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information
provided in the passage.
 Dynamic Link Libraries

Windows provides several files called dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that contain collections
of software code that perform common functions such as opening or saving a file. When
Windows application wants to use one of those functions or routines, the app sends a
message to Windows with the names of the DLL file and the function. This procedure is
known as calling a function. One of the most frequently used DLLs is Windows
COMMDLG.DLL, which includes among others, the functions to display File Open, File Save,
Search, and Print dialog boxes. The application also sends any information the DLL function
will need to complete the operation. For example, a program calling the Open File function
in COMMDLG.DLL would pass along a file spec, such as *. * or *.DOC, to be displayed in
the dialog box's Filename text box. The application also passes along a specification for
the type of information it expects the DLL to return to the application when the DLL's work
is done. The application, for example, may expect return information in the form of
integers, true/false values, or text. Windows passes the responsibility for program
execution to the DLL, along with the parameters and the return information the DLL will
need. The specific DLL is loaded into memory, and then executed by the processor. At this
point the DLL, rather than the application, runs things. The DLL performs all the operations
necessary to communicate with Windows and, through Windows, with the PC's hardware.
After the DLL function is complete, the DLL puts the return information into
memory, where it can be found by the application, and instructs Windows to remove the
DLL routine from memory. The application inspects the return information, which usually
tells whether the DLL function was able to execute correctly. If the operation was a
success, the application continues from where it left off before issuing the function call. If
the operation failed, the application displays an error message.
16) By using DLLs, Windows:
A) Saves processing time
B) Multitasks
C) Shares program code
D) Communicates with PCs hardware
17) To use any routine of a DLL, Windows:
A) Searches and copies it in the application code and executes it
B) Loads the DLL file and searches and executes the routine
C) Loads just the required routine in memory and executes it
D) Searches the location of the routine and instructs the application to execute it
18) Which information does an application need to passto Windows to use a DLL routine?
A) Just the name of the routine
B) Just the name of the DLL, which finds in turn the routine to be executed in return
C) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any parameters
D) Name of the DLL, routine, any parameters and type of information to be returned
19) According to the passage, while the DLL routine is executing, the calling application:
A) Waits for the routine to execute
B) Continues with other tasks
C) Helps the DLL routine perform by communicating with Windows and through Windows
with the PC's hardware
D) Passes all responsibility of program execution to the DLL and is removed from memory
20) The DLL function after execution returns:
A) The parameters and information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling
application
B) Information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
C) To the calling application the information required by it so that it can inspect it
D) The information required into memory so that DLL can inspect whether the function
operation was a success

application, and instructs Windows to remove the DLL routine from memory. The
application inspects the return information, which usually tells whether the DLL function
was able to execute correctly. If the operation was a success, the application continues
from where it left off before issuing the function call. If the operation failed, the
application displays an error message.
5) By using DLLs, Windows:
A) Saves processing time
B) Multitasks
C) Shares program code
D) Communicates with PCs hardware
6) To use any routine of a DLL, Windows:
A) Searches and copies it in the application code and executes it
B) Loads the DLL file and searches and executes the routine
C) Loads just the required routine in memory and executes it
D) Searches the location of the routine and instructs the application to execute it
7) Which information does an application need to passto Windows to use a DLL routine?
A) Just the name of the routine
B) Just the name of the DLL, which finds in turn the routine to be executed in return
C) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any parameters
D) Name of the DLL, routine, any parameters and type of information to be returned
8) According to the passage, while the DLL routine is executing, the calling application:
A) Waits for the routine to execute
B) Continues with other tasks
C) Helps the DLL routine perform by communicating with Windows and through Windows
with the PC's hardware
D) Passes all responsibility of program execution to the DLL and is removed from
memory

calling application
B) Information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
C) To the calling application the information required by it so that it can inspect it
D) The information required into memory so that DLL can inspect whether the function
operation was a success
Directions for Questions 10-14
Readthe passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information
provided in the passage.
Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from
miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated
Circuit (IC). Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from
individual small-scale Integrated Circuitscontaining the equivalent of only a few
transistors. By integrating the processor onto one or a very few large-scale Integrated
Circuit packages (containing the equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete
transistors), the cost of processor power was greatly reduced. The evolution of
microprocessors has been known to follow Moore's Law when it comes to steadily
increasing performance over the years. This law suggests that the complexity of an
Integrated Circuit with respect to minimum component cost will double in about 18
months. From humble beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the continued increase in
power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over every other form of computer;
every system from the largest mainframes to the smallest handheld computers now uses
a microprocessor at their core. .As with many advances in technology, the
microprocessor was an idea wbose time had come. Three projects arguably delivered a
complete microprocessor at about the same time: Intel's 4004, Texas Instruments'
TMS1000, and Garrett AiResearch's Central Air Data Computer. .A computer-on-a-chip is
a variation of a microprocessor, which combines the microprocessor core (CPU), some
memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one chip. The proper meaning of
microcomputer is a computer using a (number of) microprocessor(s) as its CPU(s), while
the concept of the patent is somewhat more similar to a micro controller.
10) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?
A) Electronic computer
B) Central Processing Unit
C) Memory disk
D) A single integrated chip circuit.
11) Select the TRUE statement from the following.
A) 11icroprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other.
B) Integration of processing power on chips has made processing power cheaper.
C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from individual small scale ICs.
D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it.
12) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?
A) Microsoft
B) Intel
C) Texas Instruments
D) Garret
13) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of microprocessors?
A) Drivers for calculators
B) Core for large mainframes
C) Advanced mobile phones
D) Used for small handheld computers
14) "A number of microprocessors at its CPU" is an apt description of a:
A) 11icro-controller
B) Micro-computer
C) Micro-processor
D) Micro-transistor
