Both will feed into Britain's nagging sense of self-doubt: who are we? As the debates around integrated and multi-culturalism show no sign of flagging, both anniversaries will be mind for their contemporary relevance.

Television programmes, books, ceremonies, conferences, and newspaper supplements have been in the planning for months.

Some might regard this self-referentialism as tedious; they might advocate an apology for the slave trade and let's be done with 2007's anniversaries. But our reckoning with British history has been so limited that these two anniversaries provide us with a good opportunity for an overdue reality check.

Any chance of reinventing a plausible national identity now (as many are keen to do) is only possible if we develop a much better understanding of how our nation behaved in the past and how nationalisms (English, Scottish, and British) were elaborately created over the past few hundred years — and how incomplete and fragile that process always was.

The coincidence of these two anniversaries is fortuitous. The abolition of the slave trade is a painful reminder of British imperial history, which we have, incredible, managed to largely forget. Who remembers the Bengal famine or Hola camp, the empire's opium trade with China or our invention of concentration camps in the Boer war? We too easily overlook how empire was a linchpin to British national identity, vital to welding Scotland and England together. Indeed, historian Linda Colley suggests three ingredients for British identity: “Great Britain is an invented nation that was not founded on the suppression of older loyalties so much as superimposed on them, and that was heavily dependent for its raison d'etre on a broadly Protestant culture, on the treat and tonic of recurrent war, especially war with France, and on the triumphs, profits and Otherness represented by a massive overseas empire.”

These three props for Britishness have collapsed: Protestant Christianity has declined sharply, war with France is the pastime only of a few drunken football fans, and the empire is no more. No wonder Britishness is no the decline; over the past couple of decades, people have become increasingly likely to define themselves in polls as English or Scottish rather than British.

This is the social trend in defining identity that politicians such as Gordon Brown watch closely. Could this re-emergence of the older loyalties to which Ms Colley refers have political consequences? Could the Scottish National Party translate that into significant electoral gains in the Scottish elections only a few days after the official commemoration of the Act of Union in May?

It's not just the Scots who could decide they've had enough of the English — the feeling could become mutual. The grumbles are getting louder about Scottish MPs who vote on legislation affecting the English and the disproportionate amount of public spending swallowed up by the Scots.

Mr Brown clearly has a vested interest in stilling such complaints. He's been at the forefront of an establishment attempt to redefine Britishness on the grounds of “common values” such as fair play and tolerance.

Who is going to define Englishness? Julian Baggini has a stab at it in a book to be published in March, Welcome to Every town: A Journey into the English Mind. He spent six months living in Rotherham to get beyond the metropolitan, liberal elite's perceptions of Englishness and establish what most people (that is, the white working class) understand by their Englishness.

Parochial, tightly knit, focused on family and local communities; nostalgic, fearful of the future and insecure; a dogged belief in common sense: these are his conclusions. Mr Baggini confesses to feeling that his six months in Rotherham was like visiting a foreign country, and no doubt many of the people he met would regard six months in London as profoundly alienating. How do you weld national identities out of global metropolises disconnected from hinterland? Englishness is riven with huge regional and class divides. The stakes are high — for example, a rising British National Party vote, a fear of asylum, and hostility to Islam. The anniversary of the Act of union will provide a stage for all this to be played out. It's just as painful a commemoration for the English as for the Scottish. It required one nation to lose its sovereignty and the other its identity.

17. According to the passage, the two major anniversaries will1) give an impetus to the questioning of British national identity.2) set the Britons thinking who they really are.3) be just another occasion to raise the issue of British national identity.4) be just another occasion to give rise to a debate on multiculturalism.5) not be celebrated because of the shame attached with slave trade.18. According to Linda Colley, Great Britain owes its nation-state concept to1) ceding of its territory by Scotland to England.2) a shared relation of race, religion and economy.3) what can today be seen as a concept of free trade area.4) the perpetuation of slave trade.5) commonality of interest between its constituents.19. Going by the passage, which of the following may instill a sense of national identity among the Britons?1) The return of Catholics to the Protestant fold2) Britain going to war with Germany3) Britain going to war as an Allied force4) Regular football matches between British and French clubs5) Any of the above20. According to the facts stated in the passage, if England and Scotland decide to split,1) it is the former that stands to gain.2) it is the latter that stands to gain.3) it will be a win-win situation.4) it will be a lose-lose situation.5) both the parties will lose their face but gain materially21. According to the passage, the post-modern mind views imperialism as1) something that was necessary in the context of the times.2) a thing of the past which need not be mentioned further.3) a blot on the history of mankind.4) the white man's burden.5) a concept relevant even in the present times, given the inability of the developing countries to catch up with the West.22.

Both will feed into Britain's nagging sense of self-doubt: who are we? As the debates around integrated and multi-culturalism show no sign of flagging, both anniversaries will be mind for their contemporary relevance.Television programmes, books, ceremonies, conferences, and newspaper supplements have been in the planning for months.

Some might regard this self-referentialism as tedious; they might advocate an apology for the slave trade and let's be done with 2007's anniversaries. But our reckoning with British history has been so limited that these two anniversaries provide us with a good opportunity for an overdue reality check.

Any chance of reinventing a plausible national identity now (as many are keen to do) is only possible if we develop a much better understanding of how our nation behaved in the past and how nationalisms (English, Scottish, and British) were elaborately created over the past few hundred years — and how incomplete and fragile that process always was.The coincidence of these two anniversaries is fortuitous. The abolition of the slave trade is a painful reminder of

British imperial history, which we have, incredible, managed to largely forget. Who remembers the Bengal famine or Hola camp, the empire's opium trade with China or our invention of concentration camps in the Boer war? We too easily overlook how empire was a linchpin to British national identity, vital to welding Scotland and England together. Indeed, historian Linda Colley suggests three ingredients for British identity: “Great Britain is an invented nation that was not founded on the suppression of older loyalties so much as superimposed on them, and that was heavily dependent for its raison d'etre on a broadly Protestant culture, on the treat and tonic of recurrent war, especially war with France, and on the triumphs, profits and Otherness represented by a massive overseas empire.”

These three props for Britishness have collapsed: Protestant Christianity has declined sharply, war with France is the pastime only of a few drunken football fans, and the empire is no more. No wonder Britishness is no the decline; over the past couple of decades, people have become increasingly likely to define themselves in polls as English or Scottish rather than British.

This is the social trend in defining identity that politicians such as Gordon Brown watch closely. Could this re-emergence of the older loyalties to which Ms Colley refers have political consequences? Could the Scottish National Party translate that into significant electoral gains in the Scottish elections only a few days after the official commemoration of the Act of Union in May?

It's not just the Scots who could decide they've had enough of the English — the feeling could become mutual. The grumbles are getting louder about Scottish MPs who vote on legislation affecting the English and the disproportionate amount of public spending swallowed up by the Scots.

Mr Brown clearly has a vested interest in stilling such complaints. He's been at the forefront of an establishment attempt to redefine Britishness on the grounds of “common values” such as fair play and tolerance.

Who is going to define Englishness? Julian Baggini has a stab at it in a book to be published in March, Welcome to Every town: A Journey into the English Mind. He spent six months living in Rotherham to get beyond the metropolitan, liberal elite's perceptions of Englishness and establish what most people (that is, the white working class) understand by their Englishness.

Parochial, tightly knit, focused on family and local communities; nostalgic, fearful of the future and insecure; a dogged belief in common sense: these are his conclusions. Mr Baggini confesses to feeling that his six months in Rotherham was like visiting a foreign country, and no doubt many of the people he met would regard six months in London as profoundly alienating. How do you weld national identities out of global metropolises disconnected from hinterland? Englishness is riven with huge regional and class divides. The stakes are high — for example, a rising British National Party vote, a fear of asylum, and hostility to Islam. The anniversary of the Act of union will provide a stage for all this to be played out. It's just as painful a commemoration for the English as for the Scottish. It required one nation to lose its sovereignty and the other its identity.

17. According to the passage, the two major anniversaries will1) give an impetus to the questioning of British national identity.2) set the Britons thinking who they really are.3) be just another occasion to raise the issue of British national identity.4) be just another occasion to give rise to a debate on multiculturalism.5) not be celebrated because of the shame attached with slave trade.18. According to Linda Colley, Great Britain owes its nation-state concept to1) ceding of its territory by Scotland to England.2) a shared relation of race, religion and economy.3) what can today be seen as a concept of free trade area.4) the perpetuation of slave trade.5) commonality of interest between its constituents.19. Going by the passage, which of the following may instill a sense of national identity among the Britons?1) The return of Catholics to the Protestant fold2) Britain going to war with Germany3) Britain going to war as an Allied force

4) Regular football matches between British and French clubs5) Any of the above20. According to the facts stated in the passage, if England and Scotland decide to split,1) it is the former that stands to gain.2) it is the latter that stands to gain.3) it will be a win-win situation.4) it will be a lose-lose situation.5) both the parties will lose their face but gain materially21. According to the passage, the post-modern mind views imperialism as1) something that was necessary in the context of the times.2) a thing of the past which need not be mentioned further.3) a blot on the history of mankind.4) the white man's burden.5) a concept relevant even in the present times, given the inability of the developing countries to catch up with the West.22.

Hello everyone,

This is Kavya.

Sorry for the delay.

To clear the HCL TECHNOLOGIES written test, all u have to do is use BASIC LOGIC.

Go thro’ all the previous papers. The questions usually get repeated.

There are 4 sections.

1) Aptitude

2) General computer concepts

Directions for Questions 11-15:Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated Circuit (IC). Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from individual small-scale Integrated Circuits

containing the equivalent of only a few transistors. By integrating the processor onto one or a very few large-scale Integrated Circuit packages (containing the equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete transistors), the cost of processor power was greatly reduced. The evolution of microprocessors has been known to follow Moore’s Law when it comes to steadily increasing performance over the years. This law suggests that the complexity of an Integrated Circuit with respect to minimum component cost will double in about 18 months. From humble beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the continued increase in power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over every other form of computer; every system from the largest mainframes to the smallest handheld computers now uses a microprocessor at their core. .As with many advances in technology, the microprocessor was an idea whose time had come. Three projects arguably delivered a complete microprocessor at about the same time: Intel’s 4004, Texas Instruments’ TMS1000, and Garrett Ai Research’s Central Air Data Computer. .

A computer-on-a-chip is a variation of a microprocessor, which combines the microprocessor core (CPU), some memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one chip. The proper meaning of microcomputer is a computer using a (number of) microprocessor (s) as its CPU (s), while the concept of the patent is somewhat more similar to a micro controller.

11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?A) Electronic computerB) Central Processing UnitC) Memory diskD) A single integrated chip circuit.

12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.A) 11icroprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other.B) Integration of processing power on chips has made processing power cheaper.C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from individual small scale ICs.D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it.

13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?A) MicrosoftB) IntelC) Texas InstrumentsD) Garret

14) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of microprocessors?A) Drivers for calculatorsB) Core for large mainframesC) Advanced mobile phonesD) Used for small handheld computers

15) “A number of microprocessors at its CPU” is an apt description of a:A) 11icro-controllerB) Micro-computerC) Micro-processorD) Micro-transistor

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

Dynamic Link Libraries

Windows provides several files called dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that contain collections of software code that perform common functions such as opening or saving a file. When Windows application wants to use one of those functions or routines, the app sends a message to Windows with the names of the DLL file and the function. This procedure is known as calling a function. One of the most frequently used DLLs is Windows COMMDLG. DLL, which includes among others, the functions to display File Open, File Save, Search, and Print dialog boxes. The application also sends any information the DLL function will need to complete the operation. For example, a program calling the Open File function in COMMDLG. DLL would pass along a file spec, such as *. * or *.DOC, to be displayed in the dialog box’s Filename text box. The application also passes along a specification for the type of information it expects the DLL to return to the application when the DLL’s work is done. The application, for example, may expect return information in the form of integers, true/false values, or text. Windows passes the responsibility for program execution to the DLL, along with the parameters and the return information the DLL will need. The specific DLL is loaded into memory, and then executed by the processor. At this point the DLL, rather than the application, runs things. The DLL performs all the operations necessary to communicate with Windows and, through Windows, with the PC’s hardware. After the DLL function is complete, the DLL puts the return information into

memory, where it can be found by the application, and instructs Windows to remove the DLL routine from memory. The application inspects the return information, which usually tells whether the DLL function was able to execute correctly. If the operation was a success, the application continues from where it left off before issuing the function call. If the operation failed, the application displays an error message.

16) By using DLLs, Windows:A) Saves processing timeB) MultitasksC) Shares program codeD) Communicates with PCs hardware

17) To use any routine of a DLL, Windows:A) Searches and copies it in the application code and executes itB) Loads the DLL file and searches and executes the routineC) Loads just the required routine in memory and executes itD) Searches the location of the routine and instructs the application to execute it

18) Which information does an application need to passto Windows to use a DLL routine?A) Just the name of the routineB) Just the name of the DLL, which finds in turn the routine to be executed in returnC) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any parametersD) Name of the DLL, routine, any parameters and type of information to be returned

19) According to the passage, while the DLL routine is executing, the calling application:A) Waits for the routine to executeB) Continues with other tasksC) Helps the DLL routine perform by communicating with Windows and through Windows with the PC’s hardwareD) Passes all responsibility of program execution to the DLL and is removed from memory

20) The DLL function after execution returns:A) The parameters and information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling applicationB) Information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling applicationC) To the calling application the information required by it so that it can inspect itD) The information required into memory so that DLL can inspect whether the function operation was a success

Now, there were 12 mornings when we did nothing, 18 evenings when we stayed at home, and a total of 14 days when we jogged or played tennis. For how many days did I stay at my cousin's place?

Ans : 22 days
