Exclusive Aptitude Test for L & T(larsentoubro)

Important Questions for ur placement test (job guranteed) :

1) What is a smith chart used for
2) How is impedance matching done & why do we need it (basically can talk about ideal power
supply needing a low internal resistance & high load to function properly. so one stage of
transistor amplifier has to have low o/p resistance & high i/p resistance for next stage- do look up
all basic electronics) ( also about sinking high currents without damage)
3) name all flipflops u know & working esp. master slave.
4) c progaming - program to find How many 1's are present in an integer variable using bitwise
operators. something about dynamic allocation, static functions, macros
5) c++ virtual functions
6) What types of control r there
7) QPSK
1. What is an inode in unix?
2. small program in pascal to add a node to a linked list. (You have to
tell What the program does)
3. C strcmp program (You have to tell What the program does)
4. set of dos commands testing basic familiarity with dir, ren *.t?t,
cd etc.
5. What is the order of binary search?
6. What is the order of strassens matrix multiplication?
7. you have to maintain the sorted order of integers & insert
integers . which data structure would you use? (tree, list, queue,
array?)
8. There are two lists of integers to be merged. Which method would you
not use?
9. In an online database system when is data written to disk? (on
pressing enter, when commit or update is encountered, at end of data,
all of the above) (was clueless! )
10. Small prolog function which prints 2345true. You need to tell
output.
11. Convert this binary into octal. 010 100 101
12. Lisp program given. What does it do? (GCD, LCM, Multiplies mxn?)
13. What is paging?
14. What is segmentation?
15. 2/3 questions on equivalence class, associative commutative
properties.
16. question on poset.
17. one figure given, give regular expression for it (very basic)
