INFOSYS PAPER ON 14th FEBRUARY AT CHANDIGARH
I sat for the Infosys placement procedure on the 14th FEB and got through!
Logical Reasoning Test (30 questions(6*5) - 40 minutes)
The questions tested general aptitude:
1)A question on Arithmetic (price of rice dal cultivation, man days required, money available, land available, selling price ratio etc)
2)Data sufficiency. This question was very simple
3)Data Interpretation based on a Pie Chart. Didnt attempt because of pausity of time. Leave this one for the last!
4)A Puzzle (Something like A,B,C,D,E eat different fruits on five days in a week. You had to work out various possibilties.) Refer RS Aggarwal (Verbal and non verbal) chapter - Puzzles test anddo all the six types of puzzles given. Do the chap on Blood Relations as well!
5)syllogism Five simple questions on Syllogism. Attempt them first as they are very easy and dont take much time. These questions get you going,
Do the chapter LOGIC from RS Aggarwal (Verbal - non verbal)
Do the rules as well as Logical Venn Diagrams.
6)Find the next image in a series.
Doing puzzles from Shakuntala Devi is of no use now as the pattern has changed and Infy doesnt test you on puzzles anymore. Despite the fact that there is no negative marking, do not attempt the questions you have not solved. The rough work is most probably chechked and thus guesses are not advised. All they doi is lessen your chances of selection. If at all, you can guess the "next image in series questions"
I attempted 20 questions out of 30
English Test (40 questions - 30 minutes)
1) Reading comprehension - One lengthy passage and one short passage! Leave them for the last Rest of test just checks basic English Usage and you dont really need to prepare if you know the basic usage!
You can attempt all the questions in this section easily! the test and getting through it isnt tough!!
Interview :
It was an HR interview lasting about 10-15 minutes!
Excerpts:
First the interviewer told me that I hadnt done well in the written! I sensed that was just to check my confidence and I said that I had done well enough!
Next he asked what kind of a person I was.
He asked questions made out of my answers only. So beware! Then he asked general things like life at my college and whom do I value the most out of family , friends and teachers Then he asked how much had my family spent on me. I answered spontaneously : It is very difficult to keep track of that! he said you have given up so easily! Then he gave me a pen and a paper ans asked to calculate!
Remain confident no matter what they ask or say and never give up on anything! Even if they give you a puzzle just keep working on it until they ask you to stop! maintain eye contact and shake hands firmly if he/she offers! getting through ain,t as tough as you might think

The carpenter uses nails all along the edges of the square such that there are 32 nails on each side of the square. Each nail is at the same distance from the neighboring nails. How many nails does the carpenter use?

Answer and Explanation.
1. F + C + T = 100-------------eq1
15F + C + 0.25T = 100-------------eq2
eq1=eq2 .solve to get F=3T/56 ;F=3,T=56,C=41
2. a) There is no need to consider their meeting pt at all.the train has been running for 90miles/(60miles/hr)=1.5hrs.bird flies till train reaches destination frm strting pt.so bird flies for1.5hrs at the vel given(90).so dist=1.5*90=135miles

b) time of train=1hr.so dist of bird=60*1=60miles
3. (a) u don,t need to sum it up.since it,s a knock out only 1 person emerges winner finally.so15+1=16is answer.becos after15 matches finally we shud,ve 15losers and 1winner.

(b) 49:its always one less than no of players as per the idea given above.so no need to check okay cos its always true.ans is 49.
4. Let x= current age
4(x+4)+5(x+5)=10x ;so x=R 41 years
5. 37(x-y)=x^2-y^2. u no tht x^2-y^2=(x-y)(x+y).so (x-y) cancels on both sides to give x+y=37.so sum of unequal halves=37 which is the req answer.
6. R ans:7 teams okay.for a match u need 2 teams.suppose there r totally ,n ,teams.
Now uve to choose 2 teams out of ,n, teams.so answer =no of such choices=no. of possible combinations. So we,ve ans = nC2(ncombination2)=21;solve to get n=7.
Sol: n(n-1)/2=21. so n=7.if u don,t understand c the graph below
each team plays no. of matches=no of teams ahead of it. One bar ,|, represents one team.
| | | | | | | ------------7
6 5 4 3 2 1 0 -----------21
last team is written as 0 matches becos this team has already played with all other teams-hence sum of matches =6+5+4+3+2+1=21 which is correct only if no of teams =7
7. R 14
1. G+2=j-2
2. 2(G-2)=J+2.
solve these 2 to get
J=14
8. a). Sol:each mky takes 8 min to eat a banana

b).ans:8m=48 m=6
9. Use sets and venn diagram to solve such questions.a,b ,aub,anb etc.
12=tennis+leave
18=jog +leave
so jog-tennis=6
again jog+tennis=14.so solve and get jog=10,leave=8,tennis=4.so tot=22
10. Ans= 32*2 + 30*2=124
INFOSYS PAPER ON 6th FEBRUARY 2008
hi friends...this is Sriram Mohan Nedunuri I attended pool campus of Infosys on 5th Feb. 2008 at COER, Roorkee and got selected finally. There were students from 6 colleges n were about 1200. First there was presentation on Infosys and about 1o’clock we gave written exam. Around 380 students were selected for HR and finally around 250 got selected.
Here is the pattern dear frnds
1.logical reasoning (30 ques) 40 min
2.English section (40 ques) 35 min
For logical reasoning go through rs aggarwal, the imp chapters well, that’s enough but do them thoroughly.
The logical section consisted of the following ques....
1.2 puzzle tests of 10 marks..... .(just go thru RS AGARWAL its more than enough.....).
2.5 series figure ques of 5 marks .its like odd figure out – very easy( go thru RS AGARWAL...NON VERBAL SECTION more than enough).
3.5 ques on data sufficiency .questions in this section were so easy try to do data sufficiency first u can complete in 3-4 mins . some are given below.
1.PQR is an isosceles triangle. What’s the length of PQ?
a. The length of QR is 7.
b. The angle of PQR is 90 degree.
Ans: both are sufficient for conclusion.
2. What’s the ratio of length of the line segment PQ to the length of arc PQ, when PQ forms the arc of a circle?
a. Area of circle is168.
b. The segment PQ forms the diameter of circle.
Ans: both are sufficient for conclusion.
3. Are two triangles congruent?
a. Both triangles are right angled.
b. Both are of same perimeter.
Ans: both are not sufficient for conclusion
4. In what time the cylinder completes one rotation?
a. Radius of cylinder is given.
b. Speed (angular) is given.
Ans: both are sufficient for conclusion
4.5 ques on logical reasoning or syllogism... (Go thru rs agarwal also go thru the LR part of the cat material)
5. Data interpretation of 5 ques (Just go thru the rs agarwal aptitude book......it is best as i preffered the same)
From 1997-2002,data was given on students studied in different streams like arts ,commerce ,engineering, medical, agriculture and science. Questions were like....
1.Number of students studying medicine is what %ge of no of students studying engineering?
2.% of Students studying commerce in yr 1999 is what % of students studying in all the yrs?(ans E(no one was correct)) ............... Like that.... questions in this section were easy but time consuming better try to approximate and save time..
English section....... it is as follows
1. 2 paragraphs based question very easy ( try to do it in last minutes as it is very easy u have to just go thru it once it is of total 10 marks ). There were two paragraphs one was big one and second was relatively shorter. I did the shorter one and it was on green house effect- easy one u can even answer the questions even without reading paragraph.
2. 5 ques were given – in that each ques carries four options n u have to find the correct sentence – 5 marks
3. Theme detection 5 ques
4. Fit the correct word in the blanks. This is of 5 marks,,,,
5. 5 ques were given – in that each ques carries four options n u have to find the correct sentence – 5 marks
for verbal I will say that go for wren n martin (or Raymond Murphy) n cover articles , tenses, prepositions, subject n verb relations...trust me friends these books will help u a lot in clearing this round.
For over all logical n English prepare sincerely and friends C2D (cooperate to dominate) policy will be really helpful, even though u have done sincere efforts better do along with ur frnds. Written results were announced in the evening around 7 and I was one of the short listed candidates among 34 form our college. We were asked to leave n appear the next day for interview. Next day interview started around 12 o’clock

HELLO FRIENDS THIS IS DHEERAJ ASSUDANI from E.C. INFOSYS VISITED UIT – RGPV FIRST ACROSS INDIA FOR ITS 2009 CAMPUS RECRUITMENT
There are generally 2 phases
(1) Written round
(2) H.R.
The Written test consists of 2 sections.
1) Logical Reasoning (30 qs in 40 min)
2) Verbal Ability(40 quest in 35 min)
Logical section consists of 6 subsections of 5 questions each.
Q1-5) (Puzzel test) the avg of 11 prime no’s less than 45 is also a prime no….
Then
i. Find the avg?
ii. Which is the min prime no?
iii.Which is the second min no?
iv.Which is the max no?
v. How many no r der greater than 20

Q6-10 there were problems on figure where 2 figs implies each other & the 3rd fig is given & u need to find the fig which implies it (Do mirror img and water img chapters from R.S. Aggarwal verbal & non verbal)

Q11-15) 5 prob based on data sufficiency. This consists of a question followed by two statements containing facts providing clues to solve that quest. We r suppose to find out which statement is/are sufficient to solve ans the quest.
E.g. what is the avg score of class?
I. There are 26 students in the class.
II. Every student scores in AP with 2 as lowest score
Q16-20) Data interpretation problems. (Little time consuming but easy one. Ref R.S.Aggarwal Quant)

Q21-25) A critical Reasoning Problem like Ann, Boobie, Cathy and Dave are at their monthly business meeting. Their occupations are author, biologist, chemist and doctor, but not necessarily in that order. Dave just told the biologist that Cathy was on her way with doughnuts. Ann is sitting across from the doctor and next to the chemist. The doctor was thinking that Boobie was a goofy name for parent,s to choose,but didn,t say anything. What is each person,s occupation?
Ans: Since Dave spoke to the biologist and Ann sat next to the chemist and across the doctor, Cathy must be the author and Ann the biologist. The doctor didn,t speak, but David did, so Bobbie is the doctor and Dave the chemist.
(Now u must have identified all facts) just ans qs asked
Q26-30) Prob based on syllogism. (Ref R.S. Aggarwal verbal & non-verabal Logic chapter)
e.g. A. all refils are nibs

INFOSYS PAPER ON 26th JUNE AT HYDERABAD
Hey guys, This is Harleen.Im doin my engineering. A brief intro about the Infosys paper is as below. Before i start off with the aptitude paper,i would really like to tell u guys to be good with time management!!!
The aptitude paper was divided into2 parts..
1)reasoning
2)verbal
Reasoning:
In this section v had 30 quest.. and 40 min to solve them..This paper was given first!!
Q1-Q5: These questions were based on cubes as in if the opposite sides of the cube are painted with the same colour and the 3 colours which are used are red,green and yellow,and the cubes is cut into parts then how many pieces would be red,yellow ,etc..
Q6-Q10: This set of questions was based on finding the missing figure...could be solved with jus a little presence of mind.
Q11-Q15: The questions here were based on Data Sufficiency.Each question coved a different area of quant,like one was on S.I,C.I and the other on profit and loss .etc...
Q16-20: This set was of DI...and all the 5 questions were based on one tabular column...(was quite tough)
Q21-25: Now this was a perfect reasoning question...as in there are 4 subjects and five ppl..if A had taken up biology and anthropology and B had only biology,C had anotomy and science D had only science and E had biology,anthropology and anotomy,then how many mim ppl are required so as all the subjects are covered...and so on..
Q26-30: these questions were based on syllogisms..jus be perfect with the 9 rules of syllogisms..(quite an easy one).
Verbal:
It consisted of 40 questions and they had to be solved in 30 min!!(time management is very imp!!) Here v had 2 reading comprehension passages..
The first one was really long... and the second one was short..BUT i chose NOT TO Start with them..casue they would actually take away a lot of time where in there were only 5 questions under each passage!!
Moving on to the other questions, there were correction of sentences,fill in the right tense,suitable conclusion of the passage..(all the questions were very simple..)
After getting done with these get onto the reading comprehension..start off with the small passage first!,then if u hav time left u can move over to the big passage!!
The cut offs for each section was arnd 15 -17 ..(approx..)
Once you clear the aptitide,and face the HR round with confidence ,good communication skills and a smile on your face,ur into INFOSYS!!!(But dont forget to be HONEST and thorough with ur resume!
