Dear friends I am passing on Infosys paper test held on 9th Oct 2005 at Sydneham College, MUMBAI. And the subsequent interview experience.
FIRST OF ALL THANKS TO CHETANA MAM FOR THIS WONDERFUL GROUP. It truly helped me for preparation.
Some tips for preparation:
I did Shakuntala Devi Puzzle to Puzzle and More puzzle. In one of the Chetana mails only I had found explanations for few Shakuntala Devi Puzzles..it really helps, u get idea how to proceed any problem.
Then previous Papers are must. Qnes r repeated they save your time and that u can devote to new puzzles in paper during test. This will boost ur confidence while solving. My test had nearly 50% puzzles repeated. So previous papers really helped me a lot. Acc to me PREV PAPERS IS THE KEY TO CRACK THE TEST.
George Summers rough overview is good if times there go a bit thoroughly but don’t spend much time
NOW THE PAPER:
10 Puzzles 1 hr
1.There are 100 students among them 10 dont study both physics and chemistry,63 studying physics,85 studying chemistry. How many of them are studying both chemistry and physics (3 mark) (similar Qn. Asked prev)
ans; 63+85-90=68
2. sal and saul are taking part in 100 yards running race in which sal beats saul by 10 yards. If sal starts 10 yards behind the starting line who will win the race?
Ans: Sal.
When 100mtrs is covered by Sal ,Saul covers only 90 mtrs…acc 1st race In 2nd race Sal has to run tot 110 mtrs while Saul 100 mtrs but when Saul covers 90mtrs Sal has coverd 100mtrs ie now for both 10 mtrs r rem but Sal is faster than Saul as he won 1st rece so this 10 mtrs Sal will complete first and will win by 1 mtr.
3. A+B+C+D = D+E+G+H=G+H+I=17.
If A=4,Find value of D and G. (present in prev paper) (6 mark)
If A=4,Find value of D and G. (present in prev paper) (6 mark)
ans; D=5 G=1
4.In a dice the nos 1&6, 2&5, 3&4 are to be in opposite face . How many ways u can do this arrangement. (prv paper)
Ans: I wrote 24 ways.
Suppose 1and 6 we fix in any 2 faces rem nos we can arrange in 4 ways again 4 combi in same way but 1 and 6 interchanged ie 8 combi for 1 pair so 8x3=24 combi. Chk out tis one …….
