Tech Mahindra Placement Papers 2025 - actual questions & solutions

This section contains practice questions styled on Tech Mahindra placement papers 2025 (recent-cycle 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: Simple interest on ₹8000 at 10% per annum for 2 years is?

Solution:

SI = (P × R × T)/100 = (8000 × 10 × 2)/100 = ₹1600.

Answer: ₹1600

Question 2

Q2: A number is increased by 10% and then decreased by 10%. Find the net percentage change.

Solution:

Let original = 100. After +10% → 110. After −10% → 110 − 11 = 99.

Net change = 100 − 99 = 1. Net % = 1% decrease (always a loss of (10/10)² %).

Answer: 1% decrease

Question 3

Q3: 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 4

Q4: Average of 5 numbers is 20. If one number 15 is replaced by 25, what is the new average?

Solution:

Old sum = 5 × 20 = 100. New sum = 100 − 15 + 25 = 110. New average = 110/5 = 22.

Answer: 22

Question 5

Q5: Pointing to a photo, Ravi said, ‘He is the son of my grandfather’s only son.’ How is the person related to Ravi?

Solution:

Grandfather’s only son = Ravi’s father. Son of Ravi’s father = Ravi himself (or his brother).

In standard puzzle framing with one son implied for the speaker context: the person is Ravi’s brother (or Ravi). Most campus keys take Brother.

Answer: Brother

Question 6

Q6: If in a certain code PEN is written as 161514 and INK as 91411, how is TIP written?

Solution:

Pattern: positions concatenated T=20,I=9,P=16

Therefore TIP → 20916.

Answer: 20916

Question 7

Q7: Choose the synonym of ‘Eloquent’.

Solution:

In placement verbal sections, ‘Eloquent’ is closest in meaning to Fluent among common options.

Answer: Fluent

Question 8

Q8: Fill in the blank: ‘She has been working here _____ 2019.’

Solution:

Use since with a point in time; use for with a duration.

Correct: since.

Answer: since

Question 9: detect cycle in linked list

Show solution

Problem Statement: Return true if the linked list has a cycle.

Example:

Input: 3→2→0→-4→(back to 2)
Output: true

Solution (Java):

public boolean hasCycle(ListNode head) {
    ListNode slow = head, fast = head;
    while (fast != null && fast.next != null) {
        slow = slow.next;
        fast = fast.next.next;
        if (slow == fast) return true;
    }
    return false;
}

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

Question 10: valid parentheses

Show solution

Problem Statement: Given a string of brackets, determine if it is valid.

Example:

Input: "()[]{}"
Output: true

Solution (Java):

public boolean isValid(String s) {
    Deque<Character> st = new ArrayDeque<>();
    Map<Character, Character> pair = Map.of(')', '(', ']', '[', '}', '{');
    for (char c : s.toCharArray()) {
        if (pair.containsValue(c)) st.push(c);
        else if (st.isEmpty() || st.pop() != pair.get(c)) return false;
    }
    return st.isEmpty();
}

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

Question 11: 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)
