The TCS Ninja selection process includes an online test divided into two parts: PART-A (Foundation Section) and PART-B (Advanced Section), with a total duration of 190 minutes. The Foundation Section consists of three subsections: Numerical Ability, Verbal Ability, and Reasoning Ability, each allocated 25 minutes. The Advanced Section comprises Advanced Quantitative & Reasoning Ability, which has a duration of 25 minutes, and Advanced Coding, where candidates are required to solve two coding problems within 90 minutes. This comprehensive assessment evaluates a candidate's aptitude, reasoning, verbal skills, and coding proficiency.
1. Convert Speed
Easy
0/40
Asked in company
Convert speed unit from km/h to m/sec.
Problem approach

2. Strong Number
Moderate
40m average time
0/80
Problem statement
A strong number, also known as a factorial number, is a special integer where the sum of the factorials of its individual digits equals the original number itself. In other words, if you take each digit of the number, compute its factorial (e.g., 5! = 120), and sum up these factorials, the result should match the original number.
Welcome, developer! Your task is to write the logic of isStrongNumber method for verifying whether a number is strong or not. A strong number, as defined above, has the fascinating property that the sum of the factorials of its individual digits equals the original number itself. So, let’s dive into completing the function
Task for students
- Must to have
- complete a method named isStrongNumber.
- Button contains text ‘Generate Pattern’ (case-insensitive) and must have id as ‘btn’ and type as ‘submit’.
- Functionality tested
- method should verify the input number, whether is strong or not. also display the result in the element having id 'result'.
- when number is strong result displays 'Yes indeed a Strong Number', if not then 'Not a Strong Number'
UI reference
- Use the given provided code and try to mirror the UI.
Evaluation
- After submission, your solution will be evaluated automatically based on the tasks defined above.
- Upon successful completion of all the tasks/requirements, you will get a full score, and there will not be any partial scoring.
- You can work on your failed test cases & resubmit your solution.
- Your problem will get evaluated instantly.
Do’s & don’t
