Section 1:logical reasoning(30 q 40 mins)

Q: There r 11 players.Each player scores prime no of goals.their avg of goals in some tournament was given.No player scores goals more than 45.No player has no of goals scored equal to any other player or equal to the avg.

5 q on it like..

1)max no of goalz scored by any player??

2)min no of goalz scored by any player??.......

This was, i thnk the toughtest in this section

this was like d puzzle test frm R s Aggrawl..bt a diff 1

Q:26 to 30 frm Syllogism

these r very easy

to b very quick read the statmnts 1s and make a rough idea

n then go by options.ull definitely find an option matching ur guess



Section 2:verbal reasoning(40 qs 30 mins)

there r 1st two RCs .very easy 1s.dont leave it they seem to b lengthy bt easy to comprehend.So do attempt both at any cost.
then i guess there r 10 questions on correct the sentences.b perfect wid articles ,prepositions,tenses n dats all u need to crack it.i did RCs n all these chapters frm CAT notes frm IMS.

the sentences r lengthy..almost 4 to 5 lines each.so if u attend 1 u hav to read that sentense+4 options.So almost 20 lines for 1 q.U hav to b extraordinarily quick.Dont go for each n evry option.Read the options randomly.most of the mistakes r related to tenses nd sentence

construction.

Few qs on deriving conclusions frm passages.(I don’t rembr a sequence of these qs so jst giving d types of qs)

Then there r some q to find the correct option to fill in d blank.dont rembr how many of them were there.

thats all i rembr abt d test.

HE: ur strong points.

Me:hardworking(He interrupted me there)

HE:How do i know?(Here hav a convincing explaination)

HE: ur negative points

Me: if i am d team leader..i somtimes push ppl too hard..i mean i can b lil harsh on them if they r not performing well

HE:harsh??then do u beat them??(Both of us laughed)

ME:not exactly.i dint mean that.I meant i want evry 1 in my group to contribute to a purpose.only then it will b a team .

HE:how will u overcome ur this shortcoming?

Me:well,ill assign more work to dat person whos not standing up to the mark.

He:if hes still not not doing well.

ME:then i hav to adopt out d box strategy nd it may not b advisable to b personal to any1 at ur workplace bt if it works for me i thnk i shud talk to him in person n try to understand d prob wid him.

He:wat will u do exactly??

ME:ill arrange d meeting.Put this prob in front of them .It may b d case that samoe r not good at wat work they hav been assigned.so ill try to rotate the work.n see if dat gives d result.(He was pretty much impressed.This i guess was a situation reaction test for me.)

He:wat does ur father do??

Me:i told.bt then he again started digging d sub

HE:hav u evr helped ur father in his business??

Me:yes.

He:how??

Me: i told.(Bt he dint stop there he went on askin me some cases that r typical in my fathers business,how do u handle such customer,what will u suggest customer in that case etc.He was again satisfied.he was perhaps checkin how keen im at knowing d work at my hand.So b sure of wat u r talkin.do not lie, u r in trouble otherwise)

HE:dont u think ur mother shud enjoy her life?go to watch a movie

Me:yes i do

HE:bt u dont allow her to go out..

Me:itz not like dat..d time demands her to b at home ..dats all

He:how long she needs to do for u guyz...u hav grown up nw..u shud make her enjoy her life nw..n take responsibilities(He was smiling while saying all these so was i)

Me:humm..

HE:how good r u at Maths??

Me:ok ..i mean good

He :good or vry good

ME:good...bt ill try to do my best

He:tell me 1000+1000

ME:2000

HE:+60

ME:2060

HE:+30

Me:2090

He:+10

Me:n i made a blunder...i said 3000..d very net moment i realized ...itz 2100(It seems easy here bt wen u r in d interview room u alwayz think of givin r best..n this happens then.b ready for such traps they hav many of them ready.i asked same q to 2 pll wen i was out .result was same)

HE:ok tell me 5+5+5=??

Me: 15

HE:no i say itz 550.how??(rembr they wont ask u d puzzles in very plain manner.so try to decode the puzzle right way.it is quite obvious dat by anylogic 5+5+5 cant be 550.after saying evrything.he said )

u can use 1 straight line anywhere on d left side of d = sign.u ant make = sign as not equal to)

Me:(i was staring at it)n i got it in jst 5 to 6 seconds

Just make any one of d + sign as 4.so ans is 545+5=550

He:good.now tell me ans to this.Divide 100 into 2 parts such that one is multiple of 47 and another is multiple of 17.(This was d language he used.bt if u go by this ull end up wid nothing.i tried it as both d parts r of 1000. bt then he gave me that in equation form as ---*47+----*19=1000 .again i tried bt i cudnt.he stopped me)dont give up

He:tell me abt ur extra activities in coll or at home.

Me:n i had alott to speak on.bt unfortunately he was interrupting all d time.i cudnt focus him on many of my achievmnts coz of dat

He:solve dat puzzle.b4 going to bed today itself.i hav noted down ur no.i may ring back anytime n ask u whether u hav solved it or not.

Me:yes sir ill definitely solve it.(nodding my head positivly i confirmed..iz 47 n 19 right sir..he said sir)

He:any qs
