10) If $ represents ‘0’ , % reprents ‘1’ , %$ represents ‘2’ , %% represents ‘3, and so on. Then how do u represent the LCM of 20,36,60. – Only thing is we have to represent the LCM value in BCD form (observe clearly the data – 3 was represented by ‘11’ that is ‘%%’ )

Coming to GD – Our topic is : Which will u vote for – HardWorking or Smart working?

From our batch (total of 10) ,You know 6 were selected. Only thing is we maintained co-ordination among ourselves.

In GD, Do remember that, shouting/arguing wont brings u something. Don’t do such.

Other topics were – Do Womens are best managers or not?

Western vs Indian culture ?

Can life exist without IT ?

Interview mainly depends on ur attitude, Fluency. One HR(not the one who done HR round for me) in one of my friend’s panel is testing our psychometry/attitude by scolding—“You don’t know anything , u r wastefellow”… like this. Only thing is we shouldn’t be aggressive. Maintian eye-eye contact and answer questions loundly aswell as clearly.

Thanks for ur support(directly or indirectly), without which I mightn,t have done this.

Anyway, All the very best for u...

Yours,
Uday.Mannam
