20MINS

From verbal ability Q1-10 based on Articles and Preposition.it completely easy one.for this part you preapre any grammer book.they ask multiple article and preposition in a single question.easily you can fill within 5 minutes. Q 11-20 gave one passage and from that passage they ask question its mainly on technical like database.here they give 2 passage each having 5 question. for me first passage from database and second from framework like java and j2ee.how to choose the framewor?like this they gave.so you can esily write

this section within 15 minutes. From Analytical ability: In this section also easy one but time management is very important you must have fast skill for solving apptitude first three question from venn diagram.for me they ask like this. In film criticis process 62 people seeing US based film,75 people seeing Indians film,86 people seeing chinese film,45 peoples seeing both US and indians film,34 people seeing both Indians andchinese film,26 people seeing chinese and US based film.3 people seeing both the 3 films. 1.how many people seeing only indians film? 2.how many people seeing both chinese and US based film? like this i dont know exact datas for thius question. Second question also from venn diagram. so you must solve htese type question quickly. and in this section also having following type question. IF $ REPRESENTS 1,* REPRESENTS 0 THEN 1.15*(AVERAGE OF 8,22,16) REPRESENTS----- LIKE THAT 5 QUESTIONS. then cube problem one will be come. the datasufficiency question 5 will be come you can solve these question easily. for me question is. eligibility criteria for joining the institution is 1.they must have graduation of M>Sc. 2. they must worked in any computer company. 3.their residence will b within the 3km from the institution. the candidate must fulfill this criteria only joined except. 1.the student having any degree and they having electronics knowledge they will be handover to manager. like this they giving 4 choice you can esily do this quickly third section Attention Ability: in this section question maily like this A.IF THE THREE SETS OF NUMBERS ARE EXACTLY ALIKE

B.IF THE FIRST AND SECOND NUMBERS ARE EXACTLY ALIKE C.IF THE FIRST AND THIRD NUMBERS ARE EXACTLY ALIKE D.ALL ARE DIFFERENT 1. 23455622 23455623 23456355 2.234.26535 234.26535 234.26535 and IF + IS *,- IS /,* IS +, / IS - THEN (5 QUESTIONS) 12+45-26*67/76=35 from the following answer which one is true? like this question we want to check all the choice so fast is very impostant. and Addtion:O subtraction:S Multiplication : A Division : C equal: Z greater than: X less than: S then 1A3S5C5O9X10 like this 4 choice which one is true? like this 5 Questions will come this question also want fast solving skill. fourth section is C and DataStructure: here mainly question come from pointers and stack quesues and graphs and file concept. 1. What is data structure? A data structure is a way of organizing data that considers not only the items stored, but also their relationship to each other. Advance knowledge about the relationship between data items allows designing of efficient algorithms for the manipulation of data. 2. List out the areas in which data structures are applied extensively? 1. Compiler Design, 2. Operating System, 3. Database Management System, 4. Statistical analysis package, 5. Numerical Analysis, 6. Graphics, 7. Artificial Intelligence, 8. Simulation

3. What are the major data structures used in the following areas : RDBMS, Network data model and Hierarchical data model. 1. RDBMS = Array (i.e. Array of structures) 2. Network data model = Graph 3. Hierarchical data model = Trees 4. If you are using C language to implement the heterogeneous linked list, what pointer type will you use? The heterogeneous linked list contains different data types in its nodes and we need a link, pointer to connect them. It is not possible to use ordinary pointers for this. So we go for void pointer. Void pointer is capable of storing pointer to any type as it is a generic pointer type. 5. Minimum number of queues needed to implement the priority queue? Two. One queue is used for actual storing of data and another for storing priorities. 6. What is the data structures used to perform recursion? Stack. Because of its LIFO (Last In First Out) property it remembers its 'caller' so knows whom to return when the function has to return. Recursion makes use of system stack for storing the return addresses of the function calls. Every recursive function has its equivalent iterative (nonrecursive) function. Even when such equivalent iterative procedures are written, explicit stack is to be used. 7. What are the notations used in Evaluation of Arithmetic Expressions using prefix and postfix forms? Polish and Reverse Polish notations.

8. Convert the expression ((A + B) * C - (D - E) ^ (F + G)) to equivalent Prefix and Postfix notations. 1. Prefix Notation: - * +ABC ^ - DE + FG 2. Postfix Notation: AB + C * DE - FG + ^ 9. Sorting is not possible by using which of the following methods? (Insertion, Selection, Exchange, Deletion) Sorting is not possible in Deletion. Using insertion we can perform insertion sort, using selection we can perform selection sort, using exchange we can perform the bubble sort (and other similar sorting methods). But no sorting method can be done just using deletion. 10. What are the methods available in storing sequential files ? 1. Straight merging, 2. Natural merging, 3. Polyphase sort, 4. Distribution of Initial runs. 11. List out few of the Application of tree data-structure? 1. The manipulation of Arithmetic expression, 2. Symbol Table construction, 3. Syntax analysis. 12. List out few of the applications that make use of Multilinked Structures? 1. Sparse matrix, 2. Index generation. 13. In tree construction which is the suitable efficient data structure? (Array, Linked list, Stack, Queue) Linked list is the suitable efficient data structure.

14. What is the type of the algorithm used in solving the 8 Queens problem? Backtracking. 15. In an AVL tree, at what condition the balancing is to be done? If the 'pivotal value' (or the 'Height factor') is greater than 1 or less than -1. 16. What is the bucket size, when the overlapping and collision occur at same time? One. If there is only one entry possible in the bucket, when the collision occurs, there is no way to accommodate the colliding value. This results in the overlapping of values. 17. Classify the Hashing Functions based on the various methods by which the key value is found. 1. Direct method, 2. Subtraction method, 3. Modulo-Division method, 4. Digit-Extraction method, 5. Mid-Square method, 6. Folding method, 7. Pseudo-random method. 18. What are the types of Collision Resolution Techniques and the methods used in each of the type? 1. Open addressing (closed hashing), The methods used include: Overflow block. 2. Closed addressing (open hashing), The methods used include: Linked list, Binary tree. 3. 19. In RDBMS, what is the efficient data structure used in the internal storage representation?

4. B+ tree. Because in B+ tree, all the data is stored only in leaf nodes, that makes searching easier. This corresponds to the records that shall be stored in leaf nodes. 5. 20. What is a spanning Tree? 6. A spanning tree is a tree associated with a network. All the nodes of the graph appear on the tree once. A minimum spanning tree is a spanning tree organized so that the total edge weight between nodes is minimized. 7. 21. Does the minimum spanning tree of a graph give the shortest distance between any 2 specified nodes? 8. No. The Minimal spanning tree assures that the total weight of the tree is kept at its minimum. But it doesn't mean that the distance between any two nodes involved in the minimum-spanning tree is minimum. 9. 22. Which is the simplest file structure? (Sequential, Indexed, Random) 10. Sequential is the simplest file structure. 11. 23. Whether Linked List is linear or Non-linear data structure? 12. According to Access strategies Linked list is a linear one. According to Storage Linked List is a Non-linear one. http://cprogram.org/source-codes/algorithm/binary- Verbal: (20 Questions 15 Minutes) 1-10 questions of the type Rose is _______ beautiful flower.

C/C++ AND DATA STRUCTURES All questions are predicting the output.. or error or find the correct syntax LISTEN STUDENTS THE ENTIRE QUESTION ARE JUST INDICATIVE AND NOT EXACT TO THE ONE WHICH I GETBECAUSE I DO NOT REMEMBER THE QUESTION. BUT IM SURE YOU WILL GET ONLY IN THIS PATTERN Verizon Written Test Quants Data Interpretation with Answers Here I am Atul presenting you the placement paper of Verizon conducted by Merittrac(The same company that conducts test for Flextronics). So go through the Flextronics Paper also for the preparations as the pattern is same. There were four sections: 1. Verbal 2. Aptitude 3. Mental Ability 4. C & Data Structures In verbal you better prepare from the GRE Barron's 14th Edition starting questions of Fill in the blanks section.Also practice High Frequency Words of barron.The mostly questions are based on you grammer practice i.e. questions related to use of ARTICLES(a,an,the).There is also a passage reading section.Don't experiment there at all if you know nothing then just follow what you usually use to speak in your common language or dialy speaking language. In aptitude section just do the R.S. Aggarwal's Quantative Aptitude questions.Also practice puzzles of Shakuntala Devi. These would be a positive and confidence building for you.That would definitely make paper easy for you.

In mental ability you need not do any practice as it would be the easiest part of the paper.Just do the questions related to change of signs i.e if we replace * by -, / by + etc type questions that would make paper more easier and you can score much more marks in that paper. In C & Data Structures you must practice just the algorithms for Binary Search, Link list etc. to implement.Also remember that only part that would be harder in this test would be C. So concentrate over the pointers concept. You will definitely succeed as the time would be sufficient if you attempt paper with consistent speed.They will provide you sufficient time for C & Data Structure section.
