HONEYWELL
1. Aptitude - 20 Reasoning - 10 - 30 minutes 2. Technical - 35 - 30 minutes 3. C - 15 - 15 minutes
1.Aptitude: Simple train pbms age ratio - proportion Profit - loss Time & work Time & Distance Pipe & Cisterns Shaded area Volume ( cylinder ,cone ..) Reasoning 2 sections a part with 4 questions b part with 6 questions There must 4 domocrats & 3 republicans out of the 12 professors. No of X professors are A,B,C,D. No of Y professors are E,F,G,H,I.If A comes f & G r absent ..so on.
Easy to solve.
2.Technical(Computer Science) OS cache access time -100ns Primary memory access time -1000ns ...then some data & condition find the actual access time. microprocessor ( lot of questions ) 8085 no of 16 bit registers. 8086 Instruction queue byte length? 8088 Instruction queue byte length? 6800 what is it? 8085 pgms... port no calculations Data Structures Which Data Structures to use for infix to prefix conversion Worst case complexity for quick sort preorder traversal Binary tree ... C Only one pgm - recursive fn - find the value.. quite easy. Number conversion hexa , octal
3.C 1. int *data[10]; what does the variable data denotes? 2.{ int a[]={10,20,30,40,50}; fun(a+1); } fun(int *p) { for(int i=1;i<=3;i++) printf("%d",*(p+i)); }
3.enum day { saturday, sunday=3, monday, tuesday }; value of saturday,tuesday. 4. enum day { saturday, sunday=-1, monday, tuesday }; int x=monday; value of x? 5. #define ADD(X,Y) X+Y main() { - #undef ADD(X,Y) fun(); } fun() { int y=ADD(3,2); printf("%d",y); } o/p? 6. #define ADD(X,Y) X+Y main() { #undef ADD; fun(); } fun() { #if not defined(ADD) define ADD(X+Y) X*Y int y=ADD(3,2); printf("%d",y); } o/p? 7. ptr sums...
8. int x; int *p; int **p1; int ***p2; How to assign each one? 9.malloc pbms..
