SAP Placement Papers 2024 - actual questions & solutions

This section contains practice questions styled on SAP placement papers 2024 (previous-year pattern), with worked solutions. Use them as timed sectional drills - from student reports drives vary by college and role, so treat this as a high-signal practice bank, not an official paper dump.

Question 1: reverse a string

Show solution

Problem Statement: Given a string, return it reversed.

Example:

Input: "placement"
Output: "tnemecalp"

Solution (Java):

public String reverse(String s) {
    return new StringBuilder(s).reverse().toString();
}

Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(n)

Question 2: maximum subarray sum

Show solution

Problem Statement: Find the contiguous subarray with the largest sum.

Example:

Input: [-2, 1, -3, 4, -1, 2, 1, -5, 4]
Output: 6  // [4, -1, 2, 1]

Solution (Java):

public int maxSubArray(int[] nums) {
    int best = nums[0], cur = nums[0];
    for (int i = 1; i < nums.length; i++) {
        cur = Math.max(nums[i], cur + nums[i]);
        best = Math.max(best, cur);
    }
    return best;
}

Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(1)

Question 3: two sum

Show solution

Problem Statement: Given an array of integers and a target, return indices of two numbers that add up to target.

Example:

Input: nums = [2, 7, 11, 15], target = 9
Output: [0, 1]

Solution (Java):

public int[] twoSum(int[] nums, int target) {
    Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
        int need = target - nums[i];
        if (map.containsKey(need)) return new int[]{map.get(need), i};
        map.put(nums[i], i);
    }
    return new int[]{};
}

Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(n)

Question 4: first non-repeating character

Show solution

Problem Statement: Return the first non-repeating character in a string, or ‘_’ if none.

Example:

Input: "swiss"
Output: 'w'

Solution (Java):

public char firstUnique(String s) {
    int[] freq = new int[256];
    for (char c : s.toCharArray()) freq[c]++;
    for (char c : s.toCharArray()) if (freq[c] == 1) return c;
    return '_';
}

Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(1)

Question 5: check palindrome

Show solution

Problem Statement: Return true if the string reads the same forward and backward (ignore case).

Example:

Input: "Level"
Output: true

Solution (Java):

public boolean isPalindrome(String s) {
    s = s.toLowerCase();
    int i = 0, j = s.length() - 1;
    while (i < j) {
        if (s.charAt(i++) != s.charAt(j--)) return false;
    }
    return true;
}

Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(1)

Question 6: rotate array right by k

Show solution

Problem Statement: Rotate the array to the right by k steps.

Example:

Input: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7], k = 3
Output: [5,6,7,1,2,3,4]

Solution (Java):

public void rotate(int[] nums, int k) {
    k %= nums.length;
    reverse(nums, 0, nums.length - 1);
    reverse(nums, 0, k - 1);
    reverse(nums, k, nums.length - 1);
}
void reverse(int[] a, int l, int r) {
    while (l < r) { int t = a[l]; a[l++] = a[r]; a[r--] = t; }
}

Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(1)

Question 7: climbing stairs

Show solution

Problem Statement: You can climb 1 or 2 steps. How many distinct ways to climb n stairs?

Example:

Input: n = 4
Output: 5

Solution (Java):

public int climbStairs(int n) {
    if (n <= 2) return n;
    int a = 1, b = 2;
    for (int i = 3; i <= n; i++) {
        int c = a + b; a = b; b = c;
    }
    return b;
}

Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(1)

Question 8

Q8: Virtual memory is typically implemented using?

Solution:

OS uses demand paging (and sometimes segmentation) to implement virtual memory.

Answer: Demand paging

Question 9

Q9: Worst-case time complexity of quicksort is?

Solution:

Unbalanced partitions (already sorted with bad pivot) → O(n²).

Answer: O(n²)

Question 10

Q10: In OOP, hiding internal details and showing only essential features is called?

Solution:

This is the definition of Encapsulation (often paired with abstraction in interviews).

Answer: Encapsulation

Question 11

Q11: Which normal form removes transitive dependency?

Solution:

1NF: atomic values. 2NF: no partial dependency. 3NF: no transitive dependency.
