INFOSYS PAPER ­ 02 APR 2006 – BANGALORE

Infosys technologies test held on 2nd April 2006 Sunday at Christ College Bangalore, I attended

the test , around 300 to 400 have attended the test & they only selected 35 candidates.

Infosys people today shocked us by changing the test pattern completely.IT'S A MULTIPLE

CHOICE QUESTION PAPER,THERE ARE NO PUZZLES as they used to ask but two parts as

usual part1 is like aptitude, reasoning & part 2 is of English test, The test questions which i

remember are:

Part 1

First 20 30 questions consist of 50 marks in 45minuts

questions carries 40 marks 2 marks for each question n next 10 questions carries 1 mark.

So the questions I remember are as below:

A paragraph with few statements were given Its based on cricket between India & England,

England all out by 38 runs. & some 3 to 4 statements were given like

i: kumble took 5 wickets or srinath took 3 wickets or one more player name i didn't remeber
suppose X took one more run than srinath
ii: if a player run out no credit goes to bowler
& two more statements were there I didn't remember n based on it 5 questions were asked each
carrying 2 marks
like
1> who took five wickets ?
2> how many were run out ?
& three similar kind of question related to given statements

3>4>5>similar questions I didn't remember exactly

then

Q6>Q7>Q8> Q9> 10> these 5 questions r based on figures given we have take out the odd
figure out
then for the next 5 questions again they have given some data like salary, investments, few more
things of 5 or 6 people n ther total based on the given data 5 questions were asked.

Then now they have added from question 16­20

Option 1 : statement 1 is sufficient & statement 2 is not sufficient
Option 2 : statement 2 alone is sufficient & statement 1 is not sufficient
Option 3 : Both statement 1 & 2 are required
Option 4: both r not sufficient
Based on these again 5 questions few which I remember are
Q16> if x is divided by 2
Stmt 1: remainder is an odd number
Stmt 2:remainder is a multiple of 3
Q17>x+2=2x
Stmt 1:something was there
Stmt 2: (x­1)<3
Q18>similar simple mathematics
Q19> find the area of the shaded figure(figure consist of circle inscribed in a square the square is
a floor n circle is a carpet remaing parts area have to be found)

stmt1: area of carpet is 9sqrft

Avanish Kachhawaha • avanish13@gmail.com • http://www.avanish.netfirms.com

stmt2: area of carpet is 2.25*(pi)sqrft

Right Triangle: Q20> find po(degree of p) RQP traingle

Stmt1:if PQ=PR

Stmt2:something

Again 5 more questions based on a para n some statements like a house whose ground floor

having one room n 2 floors having 2 rooms n the people living there according to ther habit n all in

which room they live something like this based on it 5 questions

Q21>Q22>Q23>Q24>Q25>

Again similar question like the above there r five houses colored with Red ,Blue ,Green ,black,

white

5couples live in these houses So ten people information who live besides each the information is

given in 4 to 5 statements n based on this questions were asked .

Part 2:

So this is all about aptitude n regarding English

It contains 30 questions within 30 minutes

Two big passages n questions on it.

Fill up blank with appropriate words.

Then idioms kind of words were given we have to choose its meaning .

Remaining 10 questions were for each questions a paragraph with some information is given then

we were having 4 options from which we have to choose the correct appropriate sentence which

draws the correct meaning of it.

So that's all I remember about it hope it will help you out So prepare well BEST OF LUCK to all

the Job Seekers.
