INFOSYS PAPER & INTERVIEW - 21 OCT 2007 - DELHI

Hi Friends

I attended this off campus in Delhi. The paper format was the same, the very first ques was expected 2 b of cubesbut it was a difficult one.

1. a person has property consisting of cash, some gold coins & some silver bars. each gold coin costs 4000 Rs & each silver bar costs 3000/. he gave his first daughter 25% of his property + Rs 25000. To his second daughter 25% of property + Rs 10000 and gave his other daughters in succession 10% of property+25000 more than he gave to his eldest daughter. 5 ques were given on this data like 2 find total no of daughters etc... I did not get the ques so i skipped it. but as there is no negative marking go for some blind guesses.

5 ques were based on figures.

5 ques on data sufficiency

5 ques on a puzzle.... PQRST are 5 members of a family. 3 ladies and 2 males all have diff professions and 2 ladies dont play any game....some more cluesan easy one

5 ques on syllogism do practice fm venn diagrams method

The verbal sec was an easy one. if u r fm English medium u can easily b through it.. 2 long passages. it is always beneficial 2 start paper fm back then try passages at the end. first c the ques then search the ans u will easily find them. So i got through d written.

We were called for the interview d next day. In my panel there were 2 people.they asked me 2 introduce myself. then asked me which paper u read and which page. asked abt the books u have read till now... asked me to tell the story of 1. gave me 1 puzzle 2 make 81 using 8, 14 times. I tried, my approach was ok but i didnt reach the ans.

It lasted abt 15-20 mins then they said ok best of luck. asked me if u have any ques.. I asked was I able 2 satisfy ur queries. they said we cant ans this ques any thing else..  I said no..

The result is 2 b mailed after 4-5 weeks..
