Hey folks,

I attended infy exam om 6th august in hyderabad.About 5-6 qusetions were repeated but i did know that.I am happy as i qualified the exam and finished my interview yesterday in Infosys campus.One thing what i would like to mention,approach is very important,i attempted 9 questions in which one was surely wrong...but it was for the first time i solved most of the questions...so  my approach was i my own way.....so try to solve th sum in ur own way,..there will be "n" number of ways to solev the sum....I am saying this because people who said that they solved 9 questions corectly..did not get through...


Be careful withe english..take time and answer it...dont try to solve puzzles in that time...It may appear easy but it has traps..
I am just crrossing my fingers and waiting for the result of interview.

1.) The time taken by a Passenger train to overtake a Freight train is twice of what it takes for the Passenger Train to pass the Freight Train when they are in opposite direction. What is the relation between their Velocities?

Solution: Let Vp -> Velocity of Passenger Train
              Let Vf -> Velocity of Passenger Train
  t1 = 2t2
  Therefore d/(Vp-Vf)=2d/(Vp+Vf)
  Vp+Vf=2Vp-2Vf
  Vp=3Vf.

One person was asking questions and the other was observing...be careful....u have to make an eye contact with both of them.

He asked about my fathers occupation...then asked to speak abt my final year project.

I had done an internship in TCS and I started speaking abt that....i just mentioned few points and i was abt to get into a flow ...he stopped me and asked y did TCS did not absorb u...I replied its the policy of TCS that they do not recruit interns....

Then he asked y i did not join JKC...as my college was center forJKC recruitment(It was difficlt for me to convince them)..

Then he asked to chose a topic and talk on that....I chose "MY CAMPUS LIFE"..I chose this because i thought i wud get a chance to speak abt my self...but then again he stopped in middle and asked me to speak only abt CAMPUS LIFE and not abt myself.
