Welcome to ankur bansal's site INFOSYS PAPER ON 10th OCTOBER AT HYDERABAD

Hi fnds I appeared 4 infosys selection process on 10th Octomber 2006 (Sunday) at HYDERABAD.In my point of view infosys SP is very easssy. Why bcoze there is no technical intviw & GDS. Only written test followed by HR interview. I solved all 10 puzzles correctly. If U clear written test then u no need 2 worry abt HR intviw, these is only formal intevw. So I wuld like 2 share my experience with u d guys. My experience may helpful 2 u.

THERE R 2 SECTIONS:

1.OPTITUDE TEST: Which includes logical reasng, numerical reasng, puggles of 10 qusns with 50 marks, 1hr. time. 4 this u have 2 prepare at least 25+ previous papers.

Before tat u have to gone throw SHAKUNTALA DEVI 2 Puzzle books.

1.PUZZLES TO PUZZLES U

2.MORE PUZZLES.

That is more than enough. In these books some qsns are there which are difficult to remember &understand, leave thm .60+% qsnz are coming fm previous papers, so be touch with tht papers. Each section has its own cutoff marks, so both r imps.

2. ENGLISH TEST: The pattern is like this. Thre r 45 qsns with 30 mnts time, time is very less. These are all based on BASSICS OF ENGLISH GRAMMER nothing else..

a)[1-6 QNS],passage given,fm tht u hve to ansr these 6 qsns.It will take more time, so answer it at the last.

b)[7-11 QNS],fill in d blanks with appropriate word 4 options.

c)[12-21 QNS],tenses,thre is passage with 10 lines ,u hve to fill correct ansr fm 4 options.

d)[22-26 QNS]indications of sentence which has error from 4 sentences.

f) [33-38QSNS],select the best word/phase/line to complete the sentence.

g)[38-45 QSNS],Choose the correct word to fill the sentence. These article,prepostion ,conjtns based qsns.

NOTE: If u r strong in English grammar then no need 2 prepares 4 English sections can concentrate on aptitude section. If u r weak in English then u shud spend more time 4 English section preparation than puzzles & prepare previous papers thts enough. Though u slove all 10 puzzles, u may not short-listed 4-interview bcoze of English. So be prepare 4 English.

The written test comprised of 10 questions and was of 50 marks. The cut off must have been around 35.Time allotted was one hour

Q1) Very simple question, actually a sitter…Like

Azhar scores 26 runs less than Dravid, Dravid scores these many more than Jadeja, and so on for 5 players….And were asked to find total runs scored.

Simple Equations lead to individual runs of players and answer was deduced..

It came 338 in our case… (3 marks)

Q2)A water tub has two taps to fill it and a drain pipe. One tap takes 10 minutes to completely fill the tub and other tap takes quarter of an hour to completely fill it. The drainage pipe can empty the tub in exactly 7 and a half minutes.

Starting from empty tub, if both taps are opened simultaneously and the drainage pipe is also opened, how much time will it take to fill the tank(if ever it fills up)? (3 marks)

Q3) There are three triplets to a couple: Annie, Fanny and Danny. The couple finds dirty footprints on the floor of kitchen. All of them have same foot size, so they ask them as to who did it. To which they replied:

A man asked a taxi driver his number to which he replied:

If you divide my taxi no with 2,3,4,5 or 6, it leaves a remainder 1, but it is completely divisible by 11. And there’s no other taxi driver in the city having a smaller number than my taxi who can say the same.

What was his taxi no?? (5 marks)

I am enclosing solutions and answers in adjacent file

INFOSYS WRITTEN TEST(SOLUTIONS) 14^th JULY,2006 MAIT,

Answers:

Ans 1) 338..no explanations

Ans 2) 30 minutes

Tap 1 fills 1/10 tub in a minute

Tap2 fills 1/15 tub in a minute

In one minute, tub filled by two taps = 1/10 + 1/15

Drainage pipe empties 2/15 tub in a minute(1/7.5)

Total tub filled in one minute= 1/10+1/15-(2/15)=1/30

So tub takes 30 minutes to fill.

Ans 3) Annie’s foot prints

I solved this question by hit and trail.

I first took Annie as truthful, then Fanny as truthful and then Danny as truthful and the answer was easily derivable….

Ans4) (a) 30

Separate even position terms and odd position terms, u will get

Even position terms: 4,8,12,16…….(multiples of four)

Odd position terms: 2,6,12,20…..(the difference between consecutive terms is in A.P….

Like 2+4=6

6+6=12

12+8=20

thus,20+10=30)

(b) 73

the series goes like this:

3*2=6

6+7=13

13*2=26

26+7=33

33*2=66

66+7=73

That is, multiply by two and add 7 alternatively.

Ans5) (a)8

(b)12

(d)1

Pure analytical question, no explanation required.

Ans 6) 45 kmph

Let speed of car be x kmph

Let at first he sees digits as ‘ab’…that is the value of number is: 10a+b

After traveling for one hour, he sees the number as ‘ba’…thus its value is 10b+a

After traveling another hour,he sees the number as ‘a0b’…thus value is 100a+b

Now,

10a+b+x=10b+a..which gives x=9b-9a

10b+a+x=100a+b..which gives x=99a-9b

Equating we get,

b=6a

since ‘a’ and ‘b’ are digits, a=1 and b=6 and thus x=45

Ans7)84 years

Let the final age of man be ‘x’ years

He spent x/6 in childhood

He spent x/12 in youth

He spent x/7 as bachelor

and 5 years as bachelor

At the time of birth of his son, his age was: x/6+x/12+x/7+5

His son was of age x/2 when son died

At the death of his son, man’s age: x/6+x/12+x/7+5+x/2

According to question

x/6+x/12+x/7+5+x/2=x-4

solve for x

Ans 8)3 girls and 4 boys in family

let the number of girls in family be x

Thus, the number of boys in family =x+1

Since each girl have twice the number of bros than sis,thus

No of sis for a girl=x-1

No of bros for a girl=x+1

And, thus x+1=2(x-1)

Gives x=3

Ans9) 121

LCM of 2,3,4,5,6 is 60

Since they all leave remainder 1, the number should be 61,

But 61 is not divisible by 11

Next higher number divisible by 2,3,4,5,6 is 120 and adding the remainder becomes 121 which is divisible by 11 as well satisfying all the conditions

Ans 10)

A-Manager

B-Cashier

C-Floorwalker

D-Clerk

E-Buyer

From 1997-2002,data was given on students studied in different streams like arts ,commerce ,engineering, medical, agriculture and science. Questions were like....
