Sections
1. Aptitude
2. Technical
Time :
60 mins
both papers will be in our hand intially, so we can divide time
in what ever way
we want.
Aptitude :
1. like 3 consecutive
prime adds to some no what is that
ans: both 49 and 59.
2. one persont
travlled 4 laps with the speed of 10,20,40 ( or 30) and 60 kmph
and what is
the average speed.
ans: 20 (sure)
3.like one student takes 20 mins if he
go with speed 15kmph and at what speed he
should go to reach in 15 mins
( nos are not same)
ans: 16kmph( but not sure)
4. there are 2 type of
people group 'yes' who always says yes ( they never say 'no') if they are not
sure about they will remain sailent. and other grou
name 'no' where the group
of people always say 'no' if they are not sure they
will remain
silent.
thats it
now quetions are
1) what will be the answer if i ask
are u belong to group 'yes'
options are: they remain silent ,say yes, say no,
either yes or no, can't
be determined
2) same quetion but if i ask
are u belong to group 'no'
answers for both above quetions are not ( not
determined)
3) what will the other person say if ask are u belong to grou
'yes'
and etc
there were 5 quetions first 4 u can do it last one little
bit tough.
spend some time on this u can do it.
4)
5)
9.like
from height of 8 mts on ball fell down and each time it bounces half
the
distnace back. so what will be the distance travelled
ans: 24 (sure)
like 8+4+4+2+2+1+1+0.5+0.5+ and etc ..
answer is not 20
10.like 6 cubes
are arranged adjacentlay and given the perimeter and aksed to
find the
perimeter of one cube.
ans: if x is the total perimeter then (x/14)*4 leads
to the answer.
but check it once u will be having plenty of time.
answer
is 52 (13*4)

12.some average
problem like 16 students average weight and teacher joins them ....
ans: 23
(sure) do this (16x+40)/(x+1) will give the value.

thats it i remember
dont email me for further
clarifications because i wrote what all i know.
but one thing
they are
changing papers but the quetions will be from previous quetion
papers
combined.
i am in Computer Science Branch
take the advantage of branch
for CS brach students.
