Here N=2, so we need to provide value of only two elements but we are providing value of three elements
so result is “Wrong Input”

The Input format for the testing

First input line: Accept a single positive integer value for N representing the size of Arr[]
Second input line: Accept N number of integer values separated by a new line, representing the original
value assigned to each element.

Output Format for testing:

The output must be a non integer only (See the output format example).
Violation of input criteria: System should display message as “Wrong Input”. Constraints
Additional messages in the output will result in the failure of the test cases. 1 <=N <=100

Solution in C++: Example 1

Weighted average = Sum of all the weights / Total number of weights
Comparing all the fractions, 1/(√77 + √76) is the least value as its denominator is the greatest

D. R
Hence, 1.331x - 73790.64 = 31944
Answer: Option B
1.331x = 105734.64
Explanation:
x = 105734.64/1.331
From statement (i), R = 2T --- Eq (1)
x = 79440
From statement (ii), S = 1.5Q --- Eq (2)
Borrowed amount = 79440
From statement (iii), Q+R = S+T --- Eq (3)
Amount paid = 31944*3
From statement (iv), P+S = 1.5(Q+T) --- Eq (4)
= 95832
Substitute Eq (1) and Eq (2) in Eq (3)
Percentage of extra amount paid = (95832-79440)/79440 * 100
Q+2T = 1.5Q+T

S = 1.5(2T)
i. R is twice as heavy as T
S = 3T --- Eq (6)
ii. S is one and half times as heavy as Q
Substitute Eq (5) and Eq (6) in Eq (4)
iii. Q and R together weigh as much as S and T together
P+3T = 1.5(2T+T)
iv. P and S together are one and half time as heavy as Q and T together
P+3T = 4.5T
Which among the five is the heaviest of all?
P = 1.5T
TCS NQT Model Question Paper TCS NQT Model Question Paper

Given, N = 90 kg --- Eq (5)

Now, it is obvious that T will be a positive value as T is the weight of a person.
From Eq (4), 3M = 90
So, among all the above values, S = 3T will be highest and hence S will be the heaviest of all.
M = 30 --- Eq (6)
Q2. There are five rods K, L, M, N and O. The weight of O is twice L. The weight of L is equal to
the weights of K and M together. The weight of M is twice the weight of K. The weight of N is Substitute Eq (6) in Eq (3)
three times the weight of M. If the weight of N is 90 kg, what will be the weight of O?
30 = 2K

A. 120 kg K = 15

B. 60 kg Substitute the value of K and M in Eq (2)

C. 105 kg L = 15 + 30 = 45

D. 90 kg Now, substitute the value of L in Eq (1)

O = 2(45) = 90
Answer: Option D

CMQ: The difference between C and M is 10. The difference between M and Q is 4.
Answer: Option A
FPT: The difference between F and P is 10. The difference between P and T is 4.
Explanation:
JTX: The difference between J and T is 10. The difference between T and X is 4.
In order to find the appropriate sentences to be fixed as S-2 and S-3, let us first try to relate the

No. If we consider the first sentence S-1, there is a noun, ‘objects from nature’. But this is not

from nature which are considered as currencies. But S-4, in specific, describes a particular

Yes. One such specific object from nature is introduced in sentence Q (A notable example is

Now in order to find the order for sentence Q, we have to first find the other sentence to be

can be related to the paragraph?
S-3:
Yes. The phrase given in R is not even a sentence. It can be a title to the paragraph, but it

paragraph is sentence P. Also in sentence P, there is a pronoun ‘they’ (Although they may

TCS NQT Model Question Paper TCS NQT Model Question Paper

No error
My grandmother would sit by her wheel The word that precedes the blank is ‘The candidates’ and the word that follows the blank is
Spinning and reciting prayers ‘certificates’. From the context it can be understood that ‘the certificates belong to the
Since sunrise to sunset candidates’ or ‘the candidates possess the certificates’.

If we consider the given options, all the options (whom, whose, who, which) are relative
Answer: Option D pronouns.

Explanation: So, from the context it can be understood that the required relative pronoun to be fitted in the
blank should reflect the sense of possession.
In the given sentence the time period is represented as ‘Since sunrise to sunset’.
One such relative pronoun that reflects the sense of possession is ‘whose’ which is given in
Here the given time period is a specific duration with a definite start and end time. In order to option B. Hence option B is the correct answer. If we relate the same, the correct sentence is
represent a specific time duration with a definite start and end time we use the prepositions ‘The candidates whose certificates the office could not verify were not permitted to appear
‘from’ and ‘to’. Example: From 5 a.m. to 10 a.m., From Monday to Thursday etc.. before the interview board.’

Also the preposition ‘since’ is used to represent the start time of an action/ a happening which Use of other options:
had started some time in the past and is still in progress even at the time of reporting. Example:
The unit has been functioning great since 2013. ‘Whom’ is used to represent a person when the person is in the object position of the verb.
Example: I submitted the proposal to the person whom I met yesterday.
As the time reference presented in the question is with respect to a definite start and end time
(sunrise and sunset) the appropriate preposition to be used in the given context is ‘From … ‘Who’ is used to represent a person when the person is in the subject position of the verb.
to…’. Example: The person who received the proposal has approved the project.

Thus, the use of the preposition ‘since’ in the sentence is not correct and so the part ‘Since ‘Which’ is used to represent things and animals. Example: I read the letter which was delivered
sunrise to sunset’ is the one which has error in it. This part is given in option D and hence is the today.

It’s an important question for our planet. While we debate, the next pandemic draws nearer. Option C:

Q4. Which statement is CORRECT according to the passage? Option C is given as: ‘Pandemics keep occurring periodically’.

Research about vaccines is not reliable In the first paragraph it is stated that, ‘No matter how often they occur - and they do occur with
All pandemics are not to be feared great frequency - we collectively refuse to think about them until circumstances demand it.’
Pandemics keep occurring periodically
There is no solution for a pandemic From these lines, it can be understood that the statement ‘Pandemics keep occurring
periodically’ is true according to the passage. So, option C is the correct answer.

Answer: Option C Option D:

Explanation: The statement given in option D is: ‘There is no solution for a pandemic’.

Option A: The second paragraph altogether describes solutions achieved for different pandemics in the
past. In that case, the statement given in option D (There is no solution for a pandemic) is also

In the second paragraph, it is also presented that ‘Tools they created (related to germ theory
and vaccination) are still used to identify and fight what Conniff calls “an astonishing rogues’
gallery of deadly pathogens”.’ From this statement it can be understood that the concept of
vaccination is originally supported in the passage. As this idea contradicts the one given in
option A, it cannot be the correct answer.

Option B:

In option B, it is stated that ‘All pandemics are not to be feared’.

If we consider the first paragraph, it is presented that ‘when the immediate crisis passes, we put
it out of our minds as quickly as possible. And so, we again are unprepared when the next

assembled at the end of a large wire and the cost of forming is the sum of their length. Find the minimum
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) cost when all wires are assembled to form a single wire.

{
For Example:
cin >> arr[i];
Suppose, Arr[] = {7, 6, 8, 6, 1, 1}
} {7, 6, 8, 6, 1, 1} - {7, 6, 8, 6, 2}, cost = 2

for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) {7, 6, 8, 8} - {13, 8, 8}, cost =13
{13, 8, 8} - {13, 16}, cost = 16
{ {13, 16} - {29}, cost = 29
2 + 8 + 13 + 16 + 29 = 68
for(int j = i+1; j < n; j++)

Explanation:
Let us break the array elements into following subarrays: for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
1. (8,1) → Max:8 Min:1 {
2. (7,9,2) → Max:9 Min:2 cin >> arr[i];
So, the difference between the maximum and minimum elements in each subarrays is }
1. 8-1=7 for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
2.9-2=7 {
for(int j = i+1; j < n; j++)
Now, the sum of the differences of subarray is: {
