AMPLE CODER
AMPLE CODER
Total numbers from 4000 to 4999 = 1000
None of the digits repeated = _ _ _ _
There are total 4 places
1st place is filled with 4 only. So only one choice
2nd place is filled with any 9 digits except 4 as we have used 4 in 1st place. So 9 choices
Similarly 3rd place is filled with any 8 digits. So we have 8 choices
4th place is filled with any 7 digits. So we have 7 choices.
So total arrangements = 1 * 9 * 8 * 7 = 504
Ans= 1000 – 504 = 496

the calculation ?
A) 54 %
B) 64 %
C) 74 %
D) 84 %
Ans: B) 64 %
Explanation:
Let the number be x.
Then, ideally he should have multiplied by x by 5/3. Hence Correct result was x * (5/3)= 5x/3.
By mistake he multiplied x by 3/5 . Hence the result with error = 3x/5
Then, error = (5x/3 - 3x/5) = 16x/15
AMPLE CODER
AMPLE CODER
Error % = (error/True vaue) * 100 = [(16/15) * x/(5/3) * x] * 100 = 64 %
16. Joe's age, Joe's sister's age and Joe’s fathers age sums up to a century. When son is as
old as his father, Joe's sister will be twice as old as now. When Joe is as old as his father
then his father is twice as old as when his sister was as old as her father.Age of her father ?
a) 45
b) 48
c) 50
d) 60
Ans: 50
Explanation:
Joe + sister + father = 100
After x years let us consider Joe's age is equal to his father
Joe + x = father
Therefore,
sister + x = 2 x sister
⇒ sister = x
Joe + sister = father
Therefore, 2 × father = 100
Hence, Father = 50
17. A bag contains 8 white balls, and 3 blue balls. Another bag contains 7 white, and 4
blue balls. What is the probability of getting blue ball?
a)3/7
b)7/22
c)7/25
Ans: 7/22

Now probability of blue ball taken from first bag = ( 1/2) x (3/11)
AMPLE CODER
d)7/15
AMPLE CODER
and probability of blue ball taken from second bag = (1/2) x (4/11)
So probability of blue ball = ( 1/2) x (3/11) + (1/2) x (4/11) = 7/22
18. A team won 80% of the games it played. It played 5 more games of which it won 3
and lost 2. Its loss percentage changed to 25%. How many games did it play overall?
a) 20
b) 14
c) 16
d) 25
Ans: 20
Explanation:
if game played=x
then lost game=x/5
now they played 5 more games in which they lost 2
so, (x+5)*25/100=x/5 + 2
x=15
so total game he played=15+5 = 20
19. A rectangular grassy plot 110 m. by 65 m has a gravel path 2.5 m wide all round it on

a) 680
b) 560
c) 640
d) 580
Ans: 680
Explanation:
Area of the plot = (110 x 65) m2 = 7150 m2
Area of the plot excluding the path = [(110 - 5) * (65 - 5)] m2 = 6300 m2.
Area of the path = (7150 - 6300) m2 = 850 m2.
Cost of gravelling the path = Rs.850 * (80/100)= Rs. 680

The vowels occupy 3,5,7th & 8th position in the word & remaining five positions are occupied
by consonants
As the relative position of the vowels & consonants in any arrangement should remain the same
as in the word EDUCATION
The four vowels can be arranged in 3rd,5th,7th & 8th position in 4! ways.
similarly the five consonants can be arranged in 1st ,2nd ,4th, 6th & 9th position in 5! ways
Hence the total number of ways = 5!×4!=120×24=2880

A 12
B 1/4
C 0.155
D None of these
AMPLE CODER
AMPLE CODER
Answer B
Explanation:
Let be the 4% of a is 4a/100.
Since this equals 8, we have 4a/100=8.
Solving for a yields a=8×`(100/4)`=200.
Also, 8% of b equals 8b/100, and this equals 4.
Hence, we have `(8/100)`×b=4.
Solving for b yields b = 50.
Now, c=`b/a`=`50/200`=`1/4.`

A - 100 m
B - 80 m
C - 60 m
D - 55 m
Ans: A
Explanation:
Let breadth = X meters. Then, length = (X+ 40) meters.
Perimeter = 10600/53 =200 m
∴ 2[(X + 40) + X] = 200 2X + 40 = 100 2X = 120
⇒X = 60.
Hence, length = x + 40 = 100 m.

B 12 13
C 13 0
D 9 11
AMPLE CODER
AMPLE CODER
Answer: Option C
Explaination:
The pattern in the series is as follows.
The difference between two consecutive numbers is getting increased by 2
starting from 3 as we move from left to right.
48
48 – 45 = 3
45 – 40 = 5
40 – 33 = 7
33 – 24 = 9
Hence, the next difference would be 9 + 2 = 11
So, next term to 24 = 24 – 11 = 13
Now, the difference would be 11 + 2 = 13
So, next term to 13 = 13 – 13 = 0
Hence, next numbers are 13, 0.

21. Hawkins is ____ in his field; no other contemporary scientist
commands the same respect.
a. preeminent b. ignominious
c. obsolete d. Anachronistic
Answer: A
Explanation:
The part after the semicolon tells us that Hawkins is highly respected.
Hence, the only suitable word is preeminent. (All the others have negative
connotations.)
(Disparaged = criticized; ignominious = shameful; obsolete = outdated;
anachronistic = in the wrong time period; preeminent = foremost, famous)

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the
information provided in the passage.
Give people power and discretion, and whether they are grand viziers or
border guards, some will use their position to enrich themselves. The
problem can be big enough to hold back a country's development. For
most people in the world though, the worry is not that corruption may
slow down their country's GDP growth. It is that their daily lives are
pervaded by endless hassles, big and small. And for all the evidence that
some cultures suffer endemic corruption while others are relatively clean,
attitudes towards corruption, and even the language describing bribery, is
remarkably similar around the world.
AMPLE CODER
AMPLE CODER
In a testament to most people's basic decency, bribe-takers and bribepayers have developed an elaborate theatre of dissimulation. This is not
just to avoid detection.
Even in countries where corruption is so common as to be unremarkable
and unprosecutable—and even when the transaction happens far from
snooping eyes—a bribe is almost always dressed up as some other kind of
exchange. Though most of the world is plagued by corruption, even serial
offenders try to conceal it.
One manifestation of this is linguistic. Surprisingly few people say: “You
are going to have to pay me if you want to get that done.” Instead, they use
a wide variety of euphemisms. One type is quasi-official terminology.
Another term widely used at border crossings is “expediting fee”. For a
euphemism it is surprisingly accurate: paying it will keep your bags, and
perhaps your contraband, from being dumped onto a floor and sifted
through at a leisurely pace. (A related term, used in India, is “speed
money”: paying it can get essential business permits issued considerably
faster.)
A second type of euphemism dresses up a dodgy payment as a friendly
favour done by the bribe-payer. There is plenty of creative scope.
Nigerian policemen are known to ask for “a little something for the
weekend”. A North African term is “un petit cadeau”, a little gift. Mexican
traffic police will suggest that you buy them a refresco, a soft drink, as will
Angolan and Mozambican petty officials, who call it a gazoso in
Portuguese.
Double meaning can help soothe the awkwardness of bribe-paying.
Baksheesh, originally a Persian word now found in many countries of the
Middle East, can mean “tip”, “alms” and “bribe”. Swahili-speakers can take
advantage of another ambiguous term. In Kenya a machine-gun-wielding
guard suggested to a terrified Canadian aid worker: “Perhaps you would
AMPLE CODER
AMPLE CODER
like to discuss this over tea?” The young Canadian was relieved: the
difficulty could be resolved with some chai, which means both “tea” and
“bribe”.
Along with the obscurantist language, bribe-taking culture around the
world often involves the avoidance of physically handing the money
from one person to another. One obvious reason is to avoid detection,
which is why bribes are known as “envelopes” in countries from China to
Greece. But avoidance of a direct hand-over is common even where there
is no chance of detection. There will always be some officials who will
take money right from a bribe-payer's hands, but most seem to prefer to
find some way to hide the money from view.
Rich Westerners may not think of their societies as plagued by
corruption. But the definition of bribery clearly differs from person to
person.
A New Yorker might pity the third-world businessman who must pay
bribes just to keep his shop open. But the same New Yorker would not
think twice about slipping the maître d' $50 to sneak into a nice restaurant
without a reservation. Poor people the world over are most infuriated by
the casual corruption of the elites rather than by the underpaid, “tip”seeking soldier or functionary. Thus there is no single cultural factor that
inclines a society towards corruption, but economic factors play a big part.
Most clearly, poverty and bribery go together.

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the
information provided in the passage.
Sixty years ago, on the evening of August 14, 1947, a few hours before
Britain’s Indian Empire was formally divided into the nation-states of
India and Pakistan, Lord Louis Mountbatten and his wife, Edwina, sat
down in the viceregal mansion in New Delhi to watch the latest Bob Hope
movie, “My Favorite Brunette.” Large parts of the subcontinent were
descending into chaos, as the implications of partitioning the Indian
Empire along religious lines became clear to the millions of Hindus,
Muslims, and Sikhs caught on the wrong side of the border. In the next
few months, some twelve million people would be uprooted and as many
as a million murdered. But on that night in mid-August the bloodbath—
and the fuller consequences of hasty imperial retreat—still lay in the
future, and the Mountbattens probably felt they had earned their
evening’s entertainment.
While the Mountbattens were sitting down to their Bob Hope movie,
India’s constituent assembly was convening in New Delhi. The moment
demanded grandiloquence, and Jawaharlal Nehru, Gandhi’s closest
disciple and soon to be India’s first Prime Minister, provided it. “Long
years ago, we made a tryst with destiny,” he said. “At the stroke of the
midnight hour, while the world sleeps, India will awaken to life and
freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we
step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a
nation, long suppressed, finds utterance.”
AMPLE CODER
AMPLE CODER
Posterity has enshrined this speech, as Nehru clearly intended. But today
his quaint phrase “tryst with destiny” resonates ominously, so enduring
have been the political and psychological scars of partition. The souls of
the two new nation-states immediately found utterance in brutal enmity.
In Punjab, armed vigilante groups, organized along religious lines and
incited by local politicians, murdered countless people, abducting and
raping thousands of women. Soon, India and Pakistan were fighting a
war—the first of three—over the disputed territory of Kashmir. Gandhi,
reduced to despair by the seemingly endless cycle of retaliatory mass
murders and displacement, was shot dead in January, 1948, by a Hindu
extremist who believed that the father of the Indian nation was too soft on
Muslims. Jinnah, racked with tuberculosis and overwork, died a few
months later, his dream of a secular Pakistan apparently buried with him.
26. In the view of the author what does the phrase "tryst with destiny"
symbolise today?
(a) A celebration of Indian independence
(b) An inspirational quote
(c) A reminder of Gandhi's assassination
(d) A symbol of ills of partition
Answer: D
27. What does the author imply about the future of Pakistan?
(a) It becomes a secular country
(b) It becomes unsecular
(c) It is unprosperous
AMPLE CODER

(d) It becomes a rogue state
Answer: B
28. The author persists on taking about the "Bob Hope movie" in article.
Why?
(a) Because the movie was Classic on 1947
(b) He thinks it caused the partition of sub-continent
(c) He uses it to show the apathy of the Britishers to sub-continent
(d) It was Mountbatten's favourite movie
Answer: C
29. Why was Gandhi assassinated?
(a) Because he was favouring Muslims
(b) His assassin thought he was partial to Muslims
(c) He got killed in the violence after partition
(d) None of these

AMPLE CODER
According to Albert Einstein the non-mathematician, is seized by a
mysterious shuddering when he hears of 'four-dimensional' things, he is
seized by a feeling, which is very similar to the thoughts awakened by the
occult. And at the same time the statement that the world in which we live
is a four-dimensional space - time continuum is quite a common place
statement.
This might lead to an argument regarding the use of the term
''commonplace'' by Einstein. Yet the difficulty lies more in the wording
than the ideas. Einstein's concept of the universe as a four-dimensional
space-time continuum becomes plain and clear, when what he means by
''continuum'' becomes clear. A continuum is something that is continuous,
A ruler, for example, is a one-dimensional space continuum. Most rulers
are divided into inches and frWASLions, scaled down to one-sixteenth of
an inch.
Will it be possible to conceive a ruler, which is calibrated to a millionth or
billionth of an inch. In theory there is no reason why the steps from point
to point should not be even smaller. What distinguishes a continuum is
the fWASL that the space between any two points can be sub-divided into
an infinite number of smaller divisions.
A railroad track is a one-dimensional space continuum and on it the
engineer of a train can describe his position at any time by citing a single
co-ordinate point - i.e., a station or a milestone. A sea captain, however,
has to worry about two dimensions. The surface of the sea is a twodimensional continuum and the co-ordinate points by which sailor fixes
his positions in his two dimensional continuum are latitude and
longitude. An airplane pilot guides his plane through a three dimensional continuum, hence he has to consider not only latitude and
longitude, but also his height above the ground. The continuum of an
AMPLE CODER
AMPLE CODER
airplane pilot constitutes space as we perceive it. In other words, the space
of our world is a three-dimensional continuum.
Just indicating its position in space is not enough while describing any
physical event, which involves motion. How position changes in time also
needs to be mentioned. Thus to give an accurate picture of the operation
of a New York - Chicago express, one must mention not only that it goes
from New - York to Albany to Syracuse to Cleveland to Toledo to Chicago,
but also the times at which it touches each of those points. This can be
done either by means of a timetable or a visual chart. If the miles between
New York and Chicago are plotted horizontally on a piece of ruled paper
and the hours and minutes are plotted vertically, then a diagonal line
properly drawn across the page illustrates the progress of the train in two dimensional space - time continuum. This type of graphic representation
is familiar to most newspaper readers; a stock market chart, for example,
pictures financial events in a two - dimensional dollar - time continuum.
Similarly for the best picturisation of the flight of an airplane from New
York to Los Angeles a four - dimensional space - time continuum is
essential. The latitude, longitude and altitude will only make sense to the
traffic manager of the airline if the time co - ordinate is also mentioned.
Therefore time is the fourth dimension. If a flight has to be looked at,
perceived as a whole, it wouldn't work if it is broken down into a series of
disconnected take - offs, climbs, glides, and landing, it needs to be looked
at and perceived as a continuous four - dimensional space - time
continuum curve.

Question:32
You are required to fix all logical errors in the given code. You can click on Compile &amp;
Run anytime to check the compilation/execution status of the program. You can use
System.out.println to debug your code. The submitted code should be logically/syntactically
correct and pass all testcases. Do not write the main() function as it is not required. Code
Approach: For this question, you will need to correct the given implementation. We do not
expect you to modify the approach or incorporate any additional library methods.
The method deleteDuplicate(intarr[]) of classDistinctArray takes an array as an input it is
supposed to remove duplicates integers from the input array arr such that for each distinct
integer the first occurrence is retained and all the duplicates elements following it are removed
for Example given input array
(2,3,2,2,5,6,6,7)
the expected output is (2,3,5,6,7)
The function complies successfully but fails to return the desired results due to logical errors
Your task is debug the program to pass all the test cases
Given Code:
int* deleteDuplicate (int *arr, int len)
{
int count=0,p,i,j,k=0,originalLength=len;
for(i=0;i<len;i++)
{
for(j=i+1;j<len;j++)
{
if(arr[j]==arr[i])
{
arr[k]=arr[k+1];
}
len=len-1;
count=count+1;
j=i;
}
}
return arr;
}
Corrected Code:
int* deleteDuplicate (int *arr, int len)
{
int count=0,p,i,j,k=0,originalLength=len;
for(i=0;i<len;i++)
{
for(j=i+1;j<len;j++)

QUESTION:37
You have to encrypt a non-empty string phrase. The encryption adds a 'cyclic shift' to each
letter where the value of this 'cyclic shift' is decided by the position of the letter from the end of
its word. The shift value for each letter of a word is its index value (starting from 0) from the
right-most character of the word.
EXAMPLE:
The shift values in 'yum feed' will be
yum: m->0, u->1, y->2
feed: d->0, e->1, e->2, f->3
which gives the encryption avmigfd
Here, adding the shift with value 0 to letter 'm' gives 'm' + 0 = m;
values 1 to 'u' gives 'u' + 1 = v and values 2 to 'y' gives 'y' + 2 = a and so on
Note that the shift wraps around on reaching the end of the alphabets, i.e., the shift values for
'y' as shown above is 'a'.
INPUT:
The input to the function/method consists of a string.
OUTPUT:
Return the encrypted string
NOTE:
Assume that the input string contains single space separating set of words
