» 3i Infotech Placement Paper

There was 3 sections- English usage, Logical Reasoning and arithmetic n data interpretation
There was i total 150 q's, having 50 q's from each sections. All Q's were easy.
Time limit : 90 mins
Before going to venue, just read out the instructions given on the site, coz there was lot of confusions. I did keep with me the specimen answer sheet.
Section 1: English usage
In this there was a paragrap, nearly 400 words, about regularization of banking acts. On basis of this para there was q's . These are as follows-
--> 10 direct q's relataed to para
--> 3 Synoyms(Contemporay, Resilence etc.)
--> 3 Antonyms
--> 9 q's were based on fill in d blanks which was nothing bt, about Development and Education in Punjab and U.P.
on an aveage all d synonyms n antonyms were very easy and day to day conversational use. These synonyms and antonyms were given in bold in d para.
While solving this type para plz keep in mind that one time reading with better comprehension is nt only helpful, bt u have o use regression. Remaining 25 q's were based on finding out grammatical error(u can see in any cat/ mat preparartion book). On these some were diifficult.
In this section i did only 23 q's.
Section 2 : Reasoning
--> 1 caselet based sitting arrangement(5-6 q's)
--> 5 q's based on Blood Relation(if A+B stands for A is father of B , A-B stands for Ais bro of B......... then what is A-B*c so on )
--> 5 q's based on critical resoning(like all banana's are mango, some mangoes are chilli then conclude...)
--> 4-5 q's based on series. In this you have to find out odd one in he series.
--> Some on coding decodg
--> Some were slightly different. These were like -- 5 different nos were given and said that 1 is added to the first digit of all numbers and 1 is subtracted from the middle digit. then Find out the second largest n so on.
--> Some were Data Sufficiency
Suggestion: For seies go through Mtyra's Book Quicker maths.
Section 3 : Arithmetic
In this topic on which Q's were based, is as -
1. Probab -- 5 q's, in this q like--- there are different balls in a bag as3-green, 5-blue, 7-red. 6-black then find out the probab of getting 2 red balls, gtting at least 1 gren ball while picking up 3 balls n so on.
2. Series Comletion- 5 q
3. Simplification-10-12 q, as (1) if 12.48 / ? / 56.4 = 12.3 then find ? and so on
4. Compound Interest -1q (Direct Formula)
5. Trains speed-1q as, A train crosses a platform of length double of its length, in 30 sec. Find speed of train.(Ans- can not determined)
6. Data Interpretation- 15 q, 2tables and 1 pie chart, vey easy just calculation basis.
Do as much as possible Bank po sets, there is nothing bt all depends on UR CALCULATION SPEED.
Same Paper 28th Jan 2007 - General
Aptitude Written Test (Total time: 90 Min, 150 questions)
Section-1 English Language Ability (50 questions)
Section-2 Quantitative Aptitude (50 questions)
Section-3 Logical Reasoning (50 questions)
All 150 questions are given in the beginning, and you can attempt any section at any time. There is individual cut-off in each section. Negative marking 0.25 marks for each wrong answer.
Section- 1:
Q1-15: Comprehension, Antonyms, Synonyms There is a big paragraph (one full page) about regularization of banking acts, etc.
Q1-9 are based on the content of the paragraph.
Q10-12 are Antonyms for some words appeared in the paragraph.
Q13-15 are Synonyms for some words appeared in the paragraph.
Q16-20 (Incomplete Paragraph about Development and Education in Punjab and U.P. was given) In these questions, we need to insert the appropriate word from the options given.
Q21-25: (Ordering sentences in a paragraph) There are 5 Sentences given. They have asked for the correct sequence of those sentences. For example the asked question is which sentence is 2nd? 3rd? etc.
Q26-35: (Sentence improvement) There are 10 sentences. A part of the sentence is in bold part. From the options, we need to improve the meaning of the sentence.
Q36-45: (Identifying error in the sentence) Each Sentence was broken in to 5 parts. We need to find out which portion is having error. Sorry I forgot the other 5 questions.
Except the questions 1-9, I answered all confidently.
Conclusion: Practice Comprehension more, because reading the paragraph itself will take10-15 min. Then answering questions is too difficult.
So, go for other questions which are relatively simple and you feel comfortable.
Section- 2:
Quantitative Aptitude: ( R.S.Agrawal level, but time is very crucial) I am giving you, the topics covered.
1.Compound interest (1q)
2.Simplification (10q)
3.Data Interpretation(15q)
There are 3 Tables and each table comprises of 5 questions.
4.Series Completion (5q)
5.Squre root (1q)
6. Trains (1q)
7.Probability (5q)
Actually I overlooked the other 7 questions, because I have answered only 25 in 30 min. Then I moved to other section. There is no time to see any question 2nd time. So, do it right first confidently. Some questions are (none of these) options type. So doing confidently first time is important.
Do not check your calculation if u get none as your answer. Because they will test confidence by putting none option.
Conclusion: Do all questions in R.S.Agrawal atleast once to get confidence. Emphasize more on DI, Probability. Questions are simple but managing time is imp.
Section- 3:
Logical Reasoning :
Two puzzles on seating arrangement of students- 10q. These puzzles are simple.
example: There are 10 students, five will sit in Row A, and others in Row B. K will sit in between D and E. M is not interested to sit at the end in a row……. like that conditions will be given, Accordingly we can arrange.
Statements and Conclusions- 5q.
There are 4 statements, All cats are dogs, some dogs are squirrels. No Squirrel is Dove. Some doves are cats. etc . Then 3 conclusions were given. and we need to identify which are following. This question is not correct. DO not try to solve it. Just to have an idea I have mentioned.
Blood relations (5q)
The model is like this: A+B means A is brother of B
A-B means A is mother of
AxB means A is father of B
A/B means A is sister of B
Then what will be p+q-r? etc. Please refer R.S.Agrawal Blood Relations Type 3 Coded Relations. (P.NO.237)
Coding & Decoding (7q)
For the numbers 0-9, They have given some letters as their codes. And if a word starts with vowel then code should start with $ symbol, if a word ends with vowel then code should end with # symbol. etc . Now 5 words were given we need to find out their codes.
Odd man out (1q)
A.27 B.64 C.125 D.512 E.216.
ans b
64 is cube as well as square but the others are only cubes.
Data sufficiency (5q):
Three statements were given and one question was given. To answer this question, we need to find out which data is required from the above 3 statements?
Like this total 5 q were given.
New model questions (7q)
Five three digits numbers were given. 1 is added to the first digit of all numbers and 1 is subtracted from the middle digit.
Then QUESTIONS are which is lowest, highest? ect.
Example: 546, 687, 456, 274, 487
After modifying according to the given conditions, 636, 777, 546, 364, 577. Now you can arrange these numbers either ascending or descending order to answer the questions.
Number Series (2q)
