INFOSYS PAPER - 11 JUN 2006 - CHENNAI..

Answer / ravi kumar kancharla

Hi It's Ravi Kumar. I had written Infosys on 11th June at Saint Michaels
Academy, Chennai. It was really a nice experience. As usual results get
declared on the day itself but this time they had taken too much time to
declare it. They announced it in the evening at 7:30. I cleared the test &
I had 9 answers right out of 10. I was not sure about 10th question which
was logical reasoning. But later I came to know that I have 2 ans right
from 4. So in all I had 9 & half ans right from 10. English pattern was
easy nothing special to refer it. But try to summarize tenses & you can
follow cbse pattern. This is all about test.

I had interview on 13th at Infosys centre. Here are the questions that
appeared in the test. I tried to give the exact words from the test & I
think I did well. Also I had given detail answers.


Q.1) Dr. Watson has 5 nephews. After he died he mentioned in his will
that each of his brother's sons should get money according to their ages.
The difference between each son is Rs. 20 & youngest son got least money.
Total money to be shared is 1000. How much youngest son will get?

Ans:
Let the third i.e. middle son will get Rs. x then youngest son will get
Rs. x-40.
=> Adding their shares = 1000
=> (x-40) + (x-20) + x + (x+20) + (x+40) = 1000
=> x = 200
=> x - 40 = 160
=> Youngest son will get Rs.160




Q.2) In a party there r total 1275 handshakes assuming each person did
handshake with other fellow. How many people attended the party?

Ans:
Let number of people attended the party = x then
Number of handshakes =xC2 = 1275
=> x * (x - 1) = 1275
2 * 1
=> x2 - x - 2550 =0
=> (x - 51)(x + 50) = 0
=> x cannot be negative
=> x = Number of people attended party = 51




Q.3) If one fifth of a hive of bees flew to the rose flower, one third
flew to the lotus flower, three times the difference of these two numbers
flew to slandbara & one bee continued to fly about, attracted on each side
by the fragrant of ketaki & malati, what was the total number of bees?

Ans:
X + X + 3( X - X ) +1 = X
3 5 3 5

=> X = 15 = Number of bees.



Q.4) Due to some defect in our elevator, I was climbing down the
staircase. I had climbed down just 7 steps when I saw professor Zorkoski
on the ground floor. Continuing to walk down, I greeted him & I was
surprised to see that when I was yet to get down 4 steps to reach the
ground floor, professor had already finished the climbing up 2 steps for
every 1 of mine. How many steps did the staircase have?

Ans:
7 X 4
|-------------- |------------------|----------------|

From figure, equation becomes : 7 + X + 4 = 2X

=> X = 11

=> Total number of steps = 7 + 11 + 4 = 22



Q.5) Complete the following series:
a) 3, 6, 13, 26, 33, 66, ?

Ans:
3 * 2 = 6
6 + 7 = 13
13 * 2 = 26
26 + 7 = 33
33 * 2 = 66
66 + 7 = 73
73 * 2 = 146
Series : 3, 6, 13, 26, 33, 66, 76, 146

b) 364, 361, 19, 16, 4, 1, ?

Ans:
364 - 3 = 361
O(364) = 19
19 - 3 = 16
O(16) = 4
4 - 3 = 1
O(1) = 1
1 - 3 = -2

Series: 364, 361, 19, 16, 4, 1, 1, -2




Q.6) A man was asked to meet a lady lawyer who had a good logical skill.
Today is Saturday. A man wanted her appointment. She called her three days
after the day before the day after tomorrow. What is the appointment day?

Ans:
Today = Saturday
Day after tomorrow = Monday
Day before the day after tomorrow = Sunday
Three days after the day before the day after the tomorrow =
Wednesday
Therefore, Appointment day is Wednesday.



Q.7) Find the values of X, Y, Z & B using following equations. Substitute
values from 0 to 9 without repetition.

A B A B

C D E F B G A

Ans: 9 4 5 9 4 5

Q. 8) Somebody asked a wizard, Alchimiro about his age. He answered that
he is still young according to age of wizards. Let me tell u, I m thrice
my son's age & my father's age is 40 more than twice of my age. Total of
our ages is 1240 years. What is the age of wizard? http://www.ChetanaS.com

Ans:

Let wizard's son age = X then wizard's age = 3X & his father's
age = (6X+40)
=> X + 3X + 6X + 40 = 1240
=> X = 120

Wizard's age = 360 years



Q.9) This was 8 marks question regarding the committees of 5 juniors & 4
seniors they have to form 3 committees. Some conditions had given & based
upon that we have to answer 4 questions. I solved it last. Sorry for not
remembering the question.



Q.10) A man enquires a person about the past 5 day's temperature at noon
in that region. The other replies that he doesn't remember the actual
figures but there was a different temperature on each day & their product
gives 12. Assuming the temperature to the nearest degree what are the
temperatures on the five days in Celsius?

Ans: Temperatures on 5 consecutive days are: -2, -1, 1, 2, 3 in degree
Celsius.



HR interview was cool. They didn't ask me to explain myself, a most imp
question. Being a chemical engineer they keep asking me why you are not
interested in chemical industry & what u did in last 1 year. I explained
them all truly & they look convinced. So my advice is be true to them,
they are among top mind readers. They will easily catch your bluffs. They
asked me which concept from computer you like most. I told them about OOPS
& explained it. They also asked me how you will adjust within a team. Such
HR questions. Then they had given me a simple puzzle.

Well this is all about my Infosys experience. I am waiting for the result.
