Part 1: (Verbal/English, 25 Q - 15 min) This was cool. All Antonyms, Analogies got repeated from previous papers. Antonyms: 1)equanimity 2)sequester 3)apathetic 4)dislodge 5)sedate Analogies: 1)celeberate:marriage:: a. window:bedroom b. lument:barevemant c. pot:pan d. face:penalty 2)neglegent:requirement:: remises:duty cognet:argument easy:hard careful:position 3)Germ:disease:: man:women doctor:medicine war:destrustion shopkeeper:goods 4)bouquet:flower:: skin:body chain:link product:factory page:book 5)letter:word:: club:people page:book product:factory picture:paper Bottom Line: No special preparation needed (provided u r good enough) Just gaze thru previous papers' antonyms & analogies Sentence completion & fill ups are easy. Instead of mugging up antonyms, I personally recommend u to read Synonyms, so that u can easily locate their opposites. (U can refer TCS papers also if needed) ************************************************************************ Part 2: (Quantitative Aptitude, 45 Q - 30 min) This was tough. Repeated Q's: One monkey climbs a poll at the rate of 6mts/min and fell down 3mts in the alternately. Length of the poll is 60 mts , how much time it will take to reach the top? a. 31 b.33 c.37 d.40 (ans: 37) X men work for X days to produce X products, then Y men can produce Y products in - - - - days. (ans: y^3/x^2) successive discounts problem sqrt(12 + sqrt(12) + ((sqrt(12) +......................infinity) = ? (ans: 4) 6 locks & 6 keys (permutation) problem Other Q's: consider a square ABCD, in which E is the mid-point of BC & F is that of CD. Now find the ratio of area of triangle AEF to the area of square ABCD. (ans: 3/8) Do not remember rest of the them. Bottom Line: This section makes the difference. Special preparation is mandatory. Try to solve problems of every type from R.S. Agarwal Leave complex Q's & proceed forward. ************************************************************************ Part 3: (Reasoning, 30 Q - 30 min) This was 50 - 50 I confidently solved around 16 of them. 1)There are 4 buses - A,B,C,D. There are 220 students in a school. A can carry 60 students. B can carry 50 students. C can carry 40 students. D can carry 35 students Cost of travelling in the 4 buses were given, A - 160 , B- 140, C- 125 , D- 95 (not exact values) a) Find the bus combinations, so that all the students can be carried in the minimum cost (One can use any no. of buses of a particular type) b) Find the min. no. of buses required to carry all students etc. 2) ( not exact ) P speakes Italian & French Q speakes Spanish & English R speakes Italian & German S speakes Spanish & French T speakes English & German etc. Find a) Mediator between P & Q b) Most popular language etc 3) All P's are Q's some R's are not C's Some C's are P's & so on ( 5 Q's based on these facts) 4) One Logical Venn diagram problem 5) One simple flow chart Bottom Line: Go thru R.S. Agarwal(Verbal Reasoning) & then Barrons(Analytical Reasoning Only)
