Try one, at the test’s pace.

The course ends in a timed mock: 10 questions, four numerical, three verbal and three reasoning, each with its own timer. Pick an answer.

Timed mockReady for TCS
A train 300 m long runs at 45 km/h. How long does it take to pass a cyclist riding the same way at 9 km/h?

30 seconds. The train gains 36 km/h, which is 10 m a second, on the cyclist, so it passes 300 m in 30 seconds.

“Neither the manager nor the trainees / was told about / the change in / the shift timings.” Which part of this sentence has an error?

was told about. With neither and nor, the verb agrees with the nearer subject, the trainees, so it must be “were told about”.

In a code, FRIEND is written as HUMJTK. How is CANDLE written in that code?

EDRIRL. The shifts are +2, +3, +4, +5, +6 and +7, so C, A, N, D, L, E become E, D, R, I, R, L.

One course for the whole drive.

Numerical, verbal and reasoning ability, the Advanced section and coding, and the technical, managerial and HR questions.
