INFOSYS OFF CAMPUS (8/01/06-NEW COLLEGE , CHENNAI)
1.) A CLOCK TAKES 30SEC FOR 6TICKS AT 6 O'CLOCK. HOW MUCH TIME WILL IT
TAKE FOR TICKS AT 12 O'CLOCK.Ans:66sec
2.) I gave my sis x chocolates.she told me she gave half of them to
mom,from the remaining
she gave half and half a choc more to dad, half of remaining and a
half choc to doggy and
remaining 1 she was left with one ?how many chocolates were given to
sis.Ans:7.
3.) X(Got paramveerachakra in 1948) he died when his age was one
thirty
ninth of his year of birth.whats his year of birth.
approach:
since the year is divided by 39 , it should also be divided by 3
and 13......given that he got award in 1948 .so he must have been born
before that ..........so from 1900 try all the years which are
divisible by 3 and 13 ......
ANS :1911.
4.) There are x trees in woods. Y is no. of birds. Gate keeper tells
on
each tree no of birds is equal to total no. of trees in woods.tell the
number of trees. Given total number of birds is between 2000 and 2100.
approach:
x- the no of trees
so the total no of birds is square of x.
Between 2000 to 2100 there is only one no which is a square no
(because every century has only one year which is a square number)
ie between 1900 to 2000 the year is 1936
(44*44)
similarly between 2000 to 2100 the year is 2025 (45*45)
between 2100 to 2200 the year is 2116
(46*46)
so ANS 2025
5.) Enum,ekum,ebum,eskum,epumand 2 more 6 names were given and 4 races
were given. Following a few statements find the winner of each of 4
races.(8marks)
(very confusing)
6)The briton lives in red house
The swede keeps dogs as pets
The Dane drinks tea
the green house is the first house to the left of the white house
the green house owner drinks cofee
the person who smokes pallmall rears birds
the owner of the yellow house smokes dunhill
the man living in the house right in the center drinks milk
the norwegian lives in the first house
the man who smokes blends lives next to one who keeps cat
the man who keeps horses lives next to one who smokes dunhill
the man who smokes Bluemaster drinks beer
the norwegian lives next to the blue house
the man who smokes blends has a neighbor who drink water
the german smokes prince
based on the above clues u have to determine who smokes which ??who
drinks what???
who lives in which house ..something like that
(one of my friends has given me this very same problem to me some times
before and said this puzzle was written by Einstein and claimed
that only 2% of the world's population can solve it) as soon as i
saw this question on paper i skipped as i know about it
previously . based on the clues they asked only three Questions
(each of 2 marks)..so i think we can solve this ..any way try this
out
7.train starts from Amritsar to Bombay at 9am. It reaches destination
after 3days at 9:30am. Every day a train starts. How many trains does
it come across on d way ?(4 marks)
ANS 4
8.) Carter,Mile,savage,Flynn are 4 people architect,banker,druggist
and
grocer in not that order,
Income of Mile=776+income of savage.
Income of drug==2*income of grocer
Income of architect==2*income of druggist
Income of banker==2*income of architect
Carter is older than every one who earns more than Flynn but Flynn
does
not earn double the amount of carter.find who's who?(8 marks)
9.) cost of a=[it/pound , cost of b=;it/pound. Mixture ab is sold at
100/3% profit and qty sold is 40 pound tell the weight of compound a
sold
in mixture.bit is money unit.
(form two equations and then solve it simple.......)
10.There are 11 people at a party with a glass. Each one clinks glass
with every other person once.how many times did the glass clink?
Ans:nc2=c2=U times.
honestly speaking i answered only 7 questions which i was very much
confident with...then i struggled with two 8 mark ques and some how
managed to write some answers ..but i am not confident with....then
that Einstein puzzle i didn't read beyond two lines
then English section was OK...Do i carefully because it also has
cutoff marks
appeared around 1000
exactly 44 cleared written
I got through the written round and attended
interview on 9th Jan 06 at sholinganallur chennai
the interview was cool
No technical questions.......
Tell abt u'r selves .......
they would interfere at the middle and ask some questions based on
what u say.i was asked a lot abt my native ......then u'r
Then about our project and the difficulties that we faced then...
then Extra curricular activities in school and college...
then Two puzzles out of which one is pretty easy and another one i
didn't answer
