Q1. Select the option that is most nearly OPPOSITE in meaning to the word that is
underlined.

I really love that movie since it was very DREADFUL to watch and I like such movies.
a. Pleasant
b. Atrocious
c. Awful
b. Beastly

Answer: a) Pleasant
Explanation:
‘Dreadful’ means ‘Terrible’
The word opposite to ‘terrible’ is Pleasant.
(Atrocious – Brutal
Awful – Bad
Beastly – Horrible
Thus, all the other three options are synonymous to ‘dreadful’)

Q2. Rearrange the six sentences A, B, C, D, E, and F in the proper sequence so as to

form a meaningful paragraph and answer the question below.

A. You will probably have to sign a form promising to take care of the books.
B. Go to the library and see the clerk to become a member.
C. When you have chosen the books you wish to take home, you take them to the clerk
with the tickets.
D. Then you are usually given two or three tickets with your name and address on them.
E. He stamps the book with the date.
F. The clerk keeps the tickets until you return the books.

Which would be the FIRST sentence in the paragraph?

a. A
b. B
c. C
d. D
e. F

Answer: b) B
Explanation:
The given sentences give the details of procedures to be followed in a library.
The first step must be Statement B. (One has to first go to the library)
By going with the sequence of events, the first step for becoming a member would be to
sign a form promising to take care of the books. So, the second statement would be
Statement A.
After becoming the member, the membership is acknowledged by giving the tickets. So,
the third statement must be Statement D.
Going by the sequence, the next set of statements would be of the order: Statement C,
Statement E, and Statement F.
So, the final order is: BADCEF
Thus, the first sentence in the paragraph is ‘B’.

Q3. Directions: The given sentence is divided in parts, select the part which has error
in it as the correct answer.

The Vice-President of India and (A)/ the Vice-Chancellor of this university (B)/ have
given ( C)/ his consent to join the meeting.(D)
a. A
b. B
c. C
d. D
Answer: d) D
Explanation:
Subject of the sentence is: The Vice-President of India and the Vice-Chancellor of this
university
This is a plural subject. But the pronoun given is ‘his’ consent, which is a singular
pronoun. So there is a Pronoun Antecedent agreement error in the part D of the
sentence.

Q4. Directions: Choose the most appropriate option which can replace the underlined
part of the sentence.

A large rise in the number of housing apartments in the coming year should boost new
construction dollars by several billion dollars, making the construction industry’s
economic health much more robust than five years ago.
a. making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five years
ago
b. and make the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five
years ago
c. making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than it was five
years ago
d. to make the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than five
years ago
e. in making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than it as
five years ago

Answer: c) making the construction industry’s economic health much more robust than
it was five years ago
Explanation:
Here the units compared are: The construction industry’s economic health and Five
years ago
We can’t compare an industry’s health with five years ago. An industry’s health can be
compared only with how it was five years ago. This specification of the industry’s health
five years ago was given in option c) and hence is the answer.

Q5. Fill in the blank(s).

He wants to stay ______ home on his mother’s birthday.
a. at

c. on the other hand
d. despite

Answer: b) because
Explanation:
The part following the blank gives the reason for the action given in the part preceding
the blank. In order to specify reasons, the correct preposition to be used is ‘because’.

Q7. Fill in the blank(s).

Nowadays people ______ text messages instead of phoning.
a. send
b. will be sending
c. sent
d. are sending

Answer: d) are sending

Explanation:
From the part ‘instead of phoning’ it is understood that the action specified by the word
to be fitted on the blank is in contrast to the earlier conventional action of ‘phoning’. The
new actions which are in contrast to conventional actions are to be represented in
present continuous tense. This required verb form is given only in option d) and hence
the answer.

Q8. Fill in the blank(s).

If Jack ______, they would probably win.
a. played
b. had played
c. plays

Hence the answer is option c) fall for

TCS Digital Quantitative Aptitude Questions

Q1.
32 times of a two digit number is 23 times the number obtained by reversing its digit.
The sum of its digit is 15 Find the number:
A. 96
B. 69
C. 87
D. Insufficient Information
Answer: B
Explanation:
Let the number be 10a + b
Reverse of the number = 10b + a
32(10a + b) = 23(10b + a)
--> 320a + 32b = 230b + 23a
--> 297a = 198b
--> a/b = 6/9 = 2/3
--> a = 2/3b ---(1)
a + b = 15 ---(2)
--> 2b/3 + b = 15
--> 5b = 45
--> b = 9
--> a = 6

Q2.
Eesha’s father was 34 years of age when she was born. Shashank (younger brother of
Eesha), is 13 years old and he is very proud of the fact that he is as tall as Eesha, even
though he is three years younger than her. Eesha’s mother, who is shorter than Eesha
was only 29 when Shashank was born . What is the sum of the ages of Eesha’s parents
now?
A. 92 years
B. 76 years
C. 66 years
D. 89 years

Answer: A
Explanation:
Age difference of Eesha and her father = 34
Age difference of Shashank and his mother = 29
Eesha’s current age = Shashank’s age + 3
Eesha’s current age = 16
Eesha’s father’s age = 34 + 16 = 50
Eesha’s mother’s age = 13 + 29 = 42
Sum of parents ages = 50 + 42 = 92 years

Q3.
Apples cost L rupees per kilogram for the first 30 kilograms and Q rupees per kilogram
for each additional kilogram. If the price paid for 33 kilograms of apples is Rs. 1167 and
for 36 kilograms of apples is Rs. 1284, then the cost of the first 10 kilograms of apples
is:
A. Rs. 117
B. Rs. 1053
C. Rs. 350
D. Rs. 281
Answer: C
Explanation:
Cost of 33 kilograms of apples = Rs. 1167
Cost of 36 kilograms of apples = Rs. 1284
3 kilograms of apples cost (after 30kg) = 1284 – 1167 = Rs. 117
Cost of 30 kilograms of apples = 1167 – 117
= Rs. 1050
Cost of 10 kilograms of apples = 1050/ 30 x 10
= Rs. 350

Q4.
In this question x^y stands for x raised to the power y. For example, 2^3 = 8 and 4^1.5 =
8. If a, b are real numbers such that a + b = 3, a^2 + b^2 = 7, the value of a^4 + b^4 is?
A. 49
B. 45
C. 51
D. 47
Answer: D
Explanation:
(a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab
9 = 7 + 2ab
--> ab = 1

(a+b)^4 = [(a+b)^2]^2
(a+b)^4 = [a^2 + b^2 + 2ab]^2
--> 81 = a^4 + b^4 + 4*a^2*b^2 + 2a^2*b^2 + 4ab(a^2 + b^2)
--> 81 = a^4 + b^4 + 4 + 2 + 4(7)
a^4 + b^4 = 81 – 28 – 2 - 4 = 47

Q5.
A 70 foot pole stands vertically in a horizontal plane supported by three 490 foot wires,
all attached to the top of the pole, pulled up and anchored to three equally spaced
points in the plane. How many feet apart are any two of those anchor points?
A. 740
B. 840
C. 960
D. 1024
Answer: B
Explanation:
The wires will be equally space at the circumference of a circle in the plane as shown in
the figure above.
The three points will form an equilateral triangle, with the sides of the triangle equal to
the shortest distance between the points.
Let the side of the triangle be ‘a’.
‘r’ is the radius of the circum-circle of the given triangle
Thus, a = √3 r ---(1)

Now,
4902 = r2 + 702
r2= 702(72 – 1)
r2 = 702(48)
r = 70(4√3) = 280√3, putting in (1)
a = √3 * 280√3
= 840 ft = distance between the points

Q4.

Bastin once had trouble finding the numbers in a string. The numbers are distributed in
a string across various test cases. There are various numbers in each test case you
need to find the number in each test case. Each test case has various numbers in
sequence. You need to find only those numbers which do not contain 9. For eg, if the
string contains "hello this is alpha 5051 and 9475".You will extract 5051 and not 9475.
You need only those numbers which are consecutive and you need to help him find the
numbers. Print the largest number.
Note: Use long long for storing the numbers from the string.

Input:
The first line consists of T test cases and next T lines contain a string.

Output:
For each string output the number stored in that string if various numbers are there print
the largest one. If a string has no numbers print -1.

Constraints:
1<=T<=100
1<=|S|<=10000

Example:
Input:
