INFOSYS PAPER ON 7th AUGUST 2006 AT NMAM INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY NITTE Hello my friends I am AshwineeK from NMAMIT College of Engineering Nitte studying in Information Science Branch I got into Infosysmy dream companythrough the campus interview held in our college on 7th Aug There were 10 puzzles askedI attempted all 10 but one was wrong in that(3 marks)All the 10 puzzles were from prevous question papers So PLEASE GO THROUGH ATLEAST 30 to 40 QUESTION PAPERS from THIS SITEIt helped me a lotIf I am placed today that is bcoz of Gods grace and this siteI am very greatful to thisand I am sure u will make it Ok now coming to PUZZLES 1 There is a dieposition the nos on it such that pairs 1 amp 6 2 amp 4 and 3 amp 5 are placed on opposite facesSo in how many ways u can arrange the nos (3 marks) Ans BEWARE in many papers the answer is given to be 24ITS WRONGthe answer is 48 Approach this problem deals with permutation combinationconsider 3 pairs fixed as three separate nos now u can arrange these 3 nos in 3 ways ie 6 waysnow come to each pair of the nos in each pair u can arrange the nos in 2 waysand for each of these 2 ways u can have the previously said 6 waysand so on for other pairstherefore the answer is 222 3 ie 86=48 2 A donkey was going with a speed of 12miles per hour without any load on it but after some distance it was made to carry a load and hence its speed was reduced to 4miles per hour What is the average speed of the donkey (3 marks) Ans 6 miles per hour Approach just see Aggarwal book there is a direct formula for this kind of questionthe formula is (2xy)(x+y)where x amp y are 2 speedshere substitute x as 12 and y as 4 u will get the answer

3 There are 2 systemsA amp B If system A reads some 34 degree sys B reads some say 86 degreesif A reads 84 then B reads 136 degrees (SORRY not sure about numbers)At what degree both the systems read same value (may be 6 markscant remember) Ans 525 degreesthis question u can find in most of the previous papers Approach if the question is A B 34 86 84 136 then the formula to be used is x + 34y = 86 x + 84y = 136solving these two equations u get the value of x amp y(say ive got x = 3 y = 4for example) now substitute the value of x amp y in any of the above equation say x + 34y = 86 so u get the equation as 3 + A4 = A(this is bcoz at this temparature both systems measure same valuehope u understoodi can explain only this much)solving this equation u get A = 525 4 Some problem regarding PILOT u can find this in previous papers There were 3 personsKim JonesJan Robinson and Pith Smithare There were 3 occupationsone of them was pilot one engineer and one more biochemist they gave some conditionssorry i cant remember the conditionsFinf who is PILOT (8 marks) Ans Jan Robinson was the pilot Approach one of the imp condition was that Jan Robinson defeated the Engineer in chessthis says that he is not engineer hence from one more condition u can clearly make Jan is the pilotOther conditions are not required to b considered DONT FORGET to draw TABLE as in George Summereven if you dont know just draw table and explain something this is enougheven i dint know how to solve thisbut i had seen previous paper n hence knew the answerand drew table according to the answer 5 Some Kibi ProblemU can find this question in almost all the previous papers (8 marks) Ans Kibi is a girland Mother Spoke first Approach I am not misguiding you people but still i will say u what trick i used i dint know how exactly to solvebut i knew the answerDRAW TRUTH TABLE 6 There is a person who walks 4kmph for some distance along the road and 3kmph uphilland returns in the same way with 6kmph downhillhe starts at 3pm from his house and returns back at 9 pmwhat is the ONE WAY distance (6 marks may be) Ans 12km Approach just observe the question its not total distance travelled by himbut its ONE WAY distance total time taken by him was 6 hours(9-3)let x be his distance with 4kmphand y the distance with 3 and 6kmph hence the formula is6 = ( x4 + y3 + y6 + x4 ) u get x+y=12 7 Same old gems problem

A jeweller makes a window display he has 7 gems of which he needs to display 6 three on the left side of the pane on three on the right with following conditions let the gems be Armanet diamond emerald sapphire garnet opal and ruby armanet should be always displayed on left side diamond always on the right ruby should not be kept with diamond or garnet emerald and sapphire should always be on the same side

I REELY OWE IT TO MY PARENTS AND FRIENDS

the first round was of logical reasoning or u can say the puzzle testhere are the questions

1 there is a number which is slightly lesser than 500 which when divided by 3457 leaves no remainder (3 marks)

solution- the answer would be the lcm of 3457 that is 420 so the answer is 420

2In a party there one man dances exactly with 3 ladies amp 1 woman dances exactly with 3 men there are exactly two pairs are common with every men how many people are there in party (3 marks)

3 this puzzle was pretty easy and i feel each one of u can solve it it goes something like john is older than dave but younger than edward and goes on ( sorry folks don remember the exact Qn but its pretty easy) there were 11 names and the Qn was to find the youngest of them

ans edward is the youngest

4 One day Harry and I set our watches together None of us was aware that my watch was getting faster by 2 min per hour and Harryrsquos watch was getting slower by 1 min per hour After sometime we discovered that my watch was 1 hr ahead of Harryrsquos watch Can you find out after how long we noticed this (3 Marks)

Ans the differnce between the time would be 2min + 1min= 3min

so there is a diff of 3min for every 1 hour therefore diff of 60 min would be 601hour3min

there fore the answer is 20 hours

5 there is well of depth 30m and frog is at bottom of the well he jumps 3m in one day and falls back 2m in the same day how many days will it take for the frog to come out of the well

answer is 28 days (this is a very easy one)

6 this question was quite long one please solve verbal and non verbal reasoning by rs aggarwal this also has 4 sub questions please solve the chapter called puzzle test in the above mentioned book its from that book

7 there were 5 athletes namely ABCDE who Are travelling in the plane after the olympics now there are 5 conditions given( sory i don remember)THE QUESTION WAS TO FIND WHO WON WHICH PLACE but yes the anser is answer is in this order 1) B 2) D 3) E 4) A 5) C

a is kibi a boy or a girl

b who ansered first mother or father

Ans a kibi is a girl

b mother answered first

9 THIS IS A TOUGH ONE BUT I MANAGED TO GET THE ANSWER there are a number of cuffs and collar pieces which belong to freddy and charlie there total is 30 freddy and charlie give all of tem to the laundry freddy collects half the number of cuffs and one-third the number of collars and pays his share of 27 cents 4cuffs costs 5collarsnow tell how much did charlie pay for his share

solution let the TOTAL number of the cuffs be X let the TOTAL number of the COLLARS BE be 30-X

NOW FREDDY COLLECTS 12X + 13(30-X) = X6 + 10 so charlie would collect 12X + 23(30-X) = -X6 + 20

by inspection and trial and error we can see that X=12 ((( there is no other way))) now putting X=12 in first equation we get 12 and puttin in eqn 2 we get 18

there fore freddy pays 27cents for 12 pieces so charlie will pay ____ cents for his 18 pieces THE ANSWER WILL BE 405 CENTS

10 Y X Z Y I DON REMEMBER THE FULL QN BUT THE QN WAS TO FIND VALUES X Z OF X Y Z THE ANSWER IS X=9 ----------------- Y=1 Y X X X Z Z=8
