MASTEK PAPER ON 2nd APRIL 2008
hi frns, tryin my bit to help all u guys n gals appearing
for MASTEK placement….
APTITUDE: 2 hrs
6 SECTIONS:
1) C++
15 questions.
More than half were conceptual for example: Which of the
following statements are true:
I)Destructors can have arguments. F
II)Destructors can be overloaded. F
III)…..
IV)….so on
Another example: Can friend functions be calld using pointer
to pointer functions? Ans: NO
What is the default access specifier for an inheritance? Ans:
Private
Lotsa questions on INHERITANCE concepts……
2) RDBMS
·15 questions.
· Some were conceptual, some were very general and others
were kinda queries. For eg: which type of join is not used
commercially?
Ans: Inner Join
Then….Definition of 3NF was given and we had to find which
normalization was it representing. Read up all of the Joins…i.e
Natural,outer,left outer,right outer etc. This section is
not very difficult if you know the basic fundas of DBMS…no
need to go in depth…
3) PROGRAMMING ABILITY
· 15 questions
· Either we had a question, codes as the options and choose
the right one..for eg: to find prime nos frm 1 to 100 which
of the following code is correct. 4 options were given….
A pattern of output is given say
0
0 1 0
0 0 1 2 0 0….so on and 4 codes as options, choose the
correct. The catch here was only abt the format and not the
logic in most cases…..in this case…..der were two exactly
similar option the only difference being a PRINTLN statement
after every output in one of them….so dats the correct
one!!!
Or There were questions with loops starting frm I=0 upto
I=50 and we had to find the value of sum variables used in
the for loop after the execution…again the catch here was u
neednt have to go thru the loop 50 times during the dry
run…..u tend to get a kind f sequence when u do the dry run
for abt 5-6 times and den u apply ur quant abilities and get
the answer….
Some of the options in d code had simple SYNTACTICAL errors
and were to be striked off as wrong….so u din have to
actually dry run sum codes at all…!!!
4) VERBAL
· 15 or 20 questions
· It was very simple…..choose correct alternative/best word
that suits the sentence, simple synonyms and 2 reading
comprehension which were technical related topics….for
instance We got one on Microprocessors and another on
Multithreading so I dint have to read the passage at all to
anwer the question….
5) ANALYTICAL/QUANT
· 15 questions
· Very simple. Two questions were based on Venn Diagrams and
one on sequences while a few others on Logical Reasoning. A
bit of RS agarwal and a cool mind is enuf to clear this.
6) CASE STUDY
· 5 questions
· There was a case study given on Stacks:
Ram,Ravi and Nithya in one class and 3 other students (names
I don’t remember) in another class. Their weights were given
in kgs. You have to place them in two separate stacks such
that the weight of the person on the top of stack is the
lowest.
There were 5 very simple questions on the stack
implementation for this scenario. If there is a Case Study
section, please do attempt it.
There was a sectional cut-off and most of whom were selected
in the aptitude got placed. Take care and all the best….
