Also there was sectional cut-off and negative marking of -0.5 for every wrong answer, so be careful.
1) Quant Section There were 25 questions in this section. Questions were very easy Most of the problems were from R.S.Aggarwal Quantitative book. They were mainly from average, partnership, local value-face value of a number (1st chapter from R.S.Aggarwal), probability, sets etc.There were no questions from time work, trains, distance-speed, profit-loss, boats-streams in my paper but still I advice u all to please have look at these chapters also because these chapters are very important from aptitude test point of view (of any company).
2) Logical Reasoning It was a big section of 45 questions. Most of the problems were from R.S.Aggarwal Verbal and Non-verbal. But questions were too lengthy to read and because of that I managed to solve only about 18 to 20 questions. I had not expected this but this is what had happened to me. So I advice u all, if u have R.S.Aggarwal Verbal and Non-verbal book please try to solve questions like seating arrangement, puzzles and others which u feel important.
3) English Section Total 30 questions. Easy questions were asked like analogies, sentence completion(important), antonyms, synonyms and one big passage and questions based on that.
About aptitude I want to say that first try to solve half-half questions of each section as there is a sectional cut-off then if the time permits, try to solve some more quant and logical reasoning questions. Time management is very important here, so please don’t waste ur time in solving a particular section.
4)ESSAY WRITING After aptitude, we were given 2 topics and they told us to write an essay on any one of the topic in 15 minutes. They told us that the essay was only for checking thinking capability of the candidate and it would be considered only during HR interview. Topics for us were
1.) Role of It Industry a boon for freshers 2.) Bomb Blasts and their impact on social life.
All of us had only one interview i.e. Tech + HR together. But it may change (can have 2 interviews )
5) HR Round
Tell me about yourself
Okay now tell me about your mini projects (2 projects mentioned in my resume)
Which programming languages do u know?
Okay. Now just write down an algorithm for swapping two numbers without using third (temp) variable.
II. There is negative marking 1/2 (0.5) so be careful
III. There is sectional cut off in each section.
so time management is very important try to solve at least 70% question of each section.
Now i am going to post some of the Question i could Recollect...
Quantitative questions are easy one R.S. Aggarwal is more then enough some questions are from percentage, profit and loss etc
1. Two successive discounts are 20% 40% then its equivalent discount
2. if radius of cylinder is increased by 30% and height is decreased by 40% then what will % effect on volume of cylinder.
3. The total expense of a boarding house are partly fixed and partly variable with the number of boarders. The charge is Rs.70 per head when there are 25 boarders and Rs.60 when there are 50 boarders. Find the charge per head when there are 100 boarders.
a) 65 b) 55 c) 50 d) 45
Solution:-
a = fixed cost and
k = variable cost and n = number of boarders
total cost when 25 boarders c = 25*70 = 1750 i.e. 1750 = a + 25k
total cost when 50 boarders c = 50*60 = 3000 i.e. 3000 = a + 50k
solving above 2 eqns, 3000-1750 = 25k i.e. 1250 = 25k i.e. k = 50
therefore, substituting this value of k in either of above 2 eqns we get
a = 500 (a = 3000-50*50 = 500 or a = 1750 - 25*50 = 500)
so total cost when 100 boarders = c = a + 100k = 500 + 100*50 = 5500
so cost per head = 5500/100 = 55
4. Amal bought 5 pens, 7 pencils and 4 erasers. Rajan bought 6 pens, 8 erasers and 14 pencils for an amount which was half more than what Amal had paid. What % of the total amount paid by Amal was paid for pens?
so 5 pens = 5x/8 rupees = 5/8 of total (note x rupees is total amt paid by
amal) i.e 5/8 = 500/8% = 62.5% is the answer
5. 2 oranges, 3 bananas and 4 apples cost Rs.15. 3 oranges, 2 bananas, and 1 apple costs Rs 10. What is the cost of 3 oranges, 3 bananas and 3 apples?
a) 10 b) 20 c) 30.45 c) 15
Solution. of 5.
2x+3y+4z=15
3x+2y+z=10
adding
5x+5y+5z=25
x+y+z=5 that is for 1 orange, 1 bannana and 1 apple requires 5Rs.
so for 3 orange, 3 bannana and 3 apple requires 15Rs.
i.e. 3x+3y+3z=15
