Tech Mahindra Placement Papers 2024 - actual questions & solutions

This section contains practice questions styled on Tech Mahindra 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

Q1: A shopkeeper marks goods 40% above cost and gives a 10% discount. Find the profit percentage.

Solution:

Let CP = 100. MP = 140. SP after 10% discount = 126.

Profit % = 126 − 100 = 26%.

Answer: 26%

Question 2

Q2: A and B together finish a job in 8 days. B alone takes 24 days. How many days does A alone take?

Solution:

Together rate = 1/8. B’s rate = 1/24.

A’s rate = 1/8 − 1/24 = (24−8)/(8×24) = 16/192. Days for A alone = 192/16 = 12 days.

Answer: 12 days

Question 3

Q3: A train 240 m long crosses a pole in 16 seconds. Find its speed in km/h.

Solution:

Speed = distance/time = 240/16 m/s = (240/16) × (18/5) = 54 km/h.

Answer: 54 km/h

Question 4

Q4: The ratio of ages of A and B is 2:3. After 6 years, the ratio becomes 3:4. Find A’s present age.

Solution:

Let ages be 2x and 3x.

(2x + 6)/(3x + 6) = 3/4 4(2x + 6) = 3(3x + 6) 8x + 24 = 9x + 18 x = 6 A’s age = 2×6 = 12 years.

Answer: 12 years

Question 5

Q5: Find the next number in the series: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?

Solution:

Pattern: n(n+1): 1×2, 2×3, 3×4, 4×5, 5×6 → next 6×7

Next term = 42.

Answer: 42

Question 6

Q6: Statements: All pens are items. Some items are cheap. Conclusions: I. Some pens are cheap. II. All items are pens.

Solution:

From the statements, pens⊆items and some items overlap cheap. That does not force some pens to be cheap, and ‘all items are pens’ reverses the first statement wrongly.

Neither conclusion follows.

Answer: Neither I nor II follows

Question 7

Q7: Choose the antonym of ‘Voluntary’.

Solution:

‘Voluntary’ means roughly the opposite of Compulsory.

Answer: Compulsory

Question 8

Q8: Identify the error: ‘Neither of the boys have submitted their assignment.’

Solution:

‘Neither’ is singular → verb should be has, not have.

Correct: Neither of the boys has submitted his/their assignment.

Answer: have → has

Question 9: merge two sorted lists

Show solution

Problem Statement: Merge two sorted linked lists and return a new sorted list.

Example:

Input: 1→2→4 , 1→3→4
Output: 1→1→2→3→4→4

Solution (Java):

public ListNode mergeTwoLists(ListNode a, ListNode b) {
    ListNode dummy = new ListNode(0), cur = dummy;
    while (a != null && b != null) {
        if (a.val <= b.val) { cur.next = a; a = a.next; }
        else { cur.next = b; b = b.next; }
        cur = cur.next;
    }
    cur.next = (a != null) ? a : b;
    return dummy.next;
}

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

Question 10: 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 11: 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)
