SERIES OF INFOSYS PAPER-3

INFOSYS PAPER ON 7th JANUARY AT DELHI

The English section was pretty simple...it had sentences with missing phrases....n also the basic sentence correction....it had two 200 words passages with 5 Q each on them! Also it had Qs asking us to choose the best grammatically correct sentence out of given options!

I had attempted 25-16 Qs out of 30, and was quite sure abt all of them! I fell short of time to b able to attempt remaining 3-4 Qs.....

The Aptitude section basically constituted of Arithmetic reasoning Qs and lots of Qs on analytical reasoning...that is guessing the figure which shud fall next in series! It had an Easy Qs on Family tree and Qs on finding out the most logically correct sequence of sentences out of 4-5 given sentences.....
M clearly able to recall the 1st Q....here goes....
There is a cube with dimension 15cm(each side, obviously) with opp sides painted with same colors....two sides are painted with red,two opp sides are painted with blue and the rest of the two painted with yellow!
the cube is cut into cubes with dimension 3 cm.....
1. How many cubes have single side painted?
2. How many have 2 side painted?
3. How many have 3 sides painted?
4. How many have 3 sides painted with diff colors?
5. How many have no side painted?


INFOSYS PAPER ON 7th JANUARY AT CHENNAI

Here is the Critical reasoning!

1) Most of the series of question paper has the CUBE problem as first question. Never get pissed off, its always 3*3 ,4*4 ,5*5 rarely 10*10 cube given. My question was this


A CUBE OF 15M IN LENGTH IS CUT INTO FEW SMALLER CUBES IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE CUBES ARE EQUALLY 3M IN SIDE, AND THE CUBE IS PAINTED GREEN, BLUE, YELLOW ON ALL THE PAIR OF OPPOSITE SIDES,

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS.

A) How many cubes are no side painted?

B) How many cubes 1 side painted?

C) How many cubes 2 sides painted

D) How many cubes 3 sides painted?

E) How many cubes painted 3 sides with 3 different colors?

Solution: Please have ref to cubes and dices topic from verbal and non-verbal RS.Agarwal

Approach can be like this.. What ever the cube is given take it into layers. Top layer, bottom layer and the middle layer(s). Since this cube is 5*5 u have 3 middle layers. Draw down the cube immediately and use pencil, blue pen and black pen to isolate the 1 side painted, 2 side painted, 3 sides painted . This is how u can approach. Cube problem always consumes time. So my suggestion is to have it as a last option.


2) This was picture oriented problems.

My question paper had missing fig identification. So picture problems can be of

àContinue the series

àMissing one (the third missing ll b asked)

àOdd one out

It took 5mins completely. U need to have concentration more and your observing needs to b fixed on to the paper. Clues are.. first check for the shapes, then direction, then fig in fig out combinations, addition of new fig will b little complicated don get screwed up. If there is a elimination of a part in the fig jus check out if there is addition of a new fig. this is the approach. You need to spend min 5 mins max of 10 mins. Never ignore the RS Agarwal pictures problems.



3) Data sufficiency. RSAgarwal doesn’t help much in this section. so please go thro any cat materials for this particular section. Coz it always analytical or geometrical checks for solution. RSAgarwal has jus the theory-based questions.

1) PNR calculation, find P. Data given were n separately and are separately
2) a square with diagonal was given, and the data were measure of the side and the value of the diagonal. Question was to say if it is a square or not.

3) A theoretical question to find if ravi is an engineer or not data were a) all ram’s friends are engineers b) ravi is not ram’s friend.
4) An equation was given and the constant was asked algebraically calculation. Both the data were required.

5) This was again a theory .i forgot the question.. Sorry

The other possibilities are linear equations also

4) Data interpretation this section was really a mind blowing one. Consumes 15 mins at least, a stock market bar graph was given and 5 questions followed. Out of which 3 questions were based on the average calculation. Even the difference was with decimals so you need accurate calculation. But don’t waste time. Look for 2 direct questions and answer them first and calculate average and if have patience to do that do it else ignore the 3 questions.

It took more than 15 mins for me..

5) Now again comes the logical based critical, here u need to concentrate on all the topics given in puzzles and misallanous puzzles from RSAgarwal. Puzzles are not literally puzzles like shakunthala Devi or George summers they are like how its given in RSAgarwal verbal n non verbal

Five to six topics are there please don ignore any topic coz they ask from any of the six. They can be from committee formation, sequential problems (Monday thro Saturday and timings based) ,seating arrangement or Venn diagram based and what was asked for me was from blood relations. It was very simple but don ignore any section.

6) Logical sequence.

The options were more logical indeed unlike cats are humans, bats are balls.. Nothing like that it was very logical

For ex:

a) All the detergents are chemicals

b) All the detergents are harmful

c) Brand x is a detergent

d) Brand x is not harmful

e) Brand x is harmful so if u understand the sense in it u can logically arrange it.

VERBAL COMPREHENSION:

There are 2 comprehension asked out of which one will be sequentially questioned,. Ur first question will have the answer in the first Para the second in the second like that the other comprehension will be ant sequential first questioned at the last so the tip I can give is.. read the questions have the questions behind the mind then start reading the Para and the second tip is never do comprehension first keep it for the last 10 mins.

One compre would take 7 mins and the other 3 mins. So plan accordingly


2) Comprehension (anti sequential)

3) Pick out the right sentence from the given 4 sentences.

The concentration is more into prepositions. So check for the words like, of, off, for, from ,by and all preposition word. Don keep reading the entire sentence coz the sentence is lengthy, trace out where the difference is made and check which would be apt one.


4) fill in the blanks with suitable phrases, very very simple

eg: -------------------- lost my wallet I had to go back home to get the money

a) as I had

b) though I

c) even when

d) because

INTERVIEW EXPERIENCES:

Panel of two one male one female always Mark sheet verification is first done, u need to have photocopies of all Ur mark sheets (this was not intimated and few were running for photo copies)

Sir : situation was given , customer x needs a lower end product but ur manager asks u to sell a higher end product , what will u do ( keep the key in mind customers first and I answered keeping that in mind)

Madam: so u sing ? ( my hobby said that ) and u cook ?? so how do u manage home , mom and office together ? ( since my mom was bed ridden she asked that )

Madam: have u organized any programs at college or office? Have u enjoyed that? I said with examples.

Sir: a puzzle at the four corners tress are there in between which a square shaped swimming pool was there of side measure 1 m ,. How will u expand the swimming pool 4 times more without removing the tress?

Sir : have u ever been a decision maker in your job ?

Madam: has your boss accepted all your decisions?( I answered with example and said 6/7 is accepted)

Sir: why was the one decision denied?

Madam: have u inrecated with all the employees at office?

Madam: any questions to us.. ( I jus asked about what kind of projects will be assigned and about the training place why is it always my sore )

While u r asked to work the puzzle they observe ur dressings, body language,, expressions.. so keep ur face cool and sit erect jus bending the head and don strike and scribble and work out put it as steps and show them jus the approach is what they want . Never lie never use any negative terms.
