Campus Interview Conducted in Surathkal on 11th July -2003

Test was of 1 hour 30 questions. g aptitude and 30 of technical.......some questions. of aptitude
were very lengthy so don't end up in solving them.....time was less......some 15 questions. from
arithmetic......and rest 15 logical,statement interpretation,arrangement,tense correction......and
like that......

1.

Given a square matrix which consists only of 1 and 0......find which rows,which cols and which diagonals consist entirely of 1's.
2.

Given an array of integers find all possible combinations of the numbers whose sum equal to 90.....
ans : knapsack problem (in data structures - aho ullman)

Note : for them solution was not the criteria.......but the approach was important......the solution
should be generalised and optimized........optimization was given the top priority........
