Solved aptitude questions

1. One pipe fills in 4 hrs. And another in 5hrs when they both work alternately
how much time will be taken to fill the tank.
Solution: The que is little incomplete. As it should be stated that which pipe will start first. Due to which we
will find minimum time. In 1 hour pipe A will fill 0.25 tank and pipe B will fill 0.2 tank so in 4 hour total work
completed is 0.9..for remaining 0.1 work we will take for efficient pipe B..it will take time.
(0.1/0.25)=0.4 hour =24 minute...so total time is 4 hour 24 minute
2.When numbers are written in base b, we have 12 x 25 = 333, the value of b is?
A) 8 b) 6 c) None d) 7
Solution d) 7
12 ,25 and 333 in decimal form can be written as (1*b^1 + 2*b^0) , (2*b^1 + 5*b^0), (3*b^2+3*b^1 + 3*b^0)
12 *25 = 333
(1*b^1 + 2) * (2*b^1 + 5*) = (3*b^2+3*b^1 + 3)
b^2+ 9b + 10 = 3b^2 + 3b + 3
b^2 -6b -7 = 0
b^2 - 7b + b - 7 =0
(b-7)(b+1)=0
b=7 or b=-1
base cannot be a negative value so b=7
3.He who is governed by ______ rather than

impulse is truly wise. An ounce of ______ they say,
is better than an pound of wit.

9.Which is the least number which must be subtracted from 4573, so that the remainder is a perfect square?
(a) 53 (b) 84 (c) 61 (d) 36
Solution: Check for all the nos.
4573 - 53 = 4520
4573 - 84 = 4489
4573 - 63 = 4512
4573 - 36 = 4537
No perfect squares will end in 2 and 7 and 0 should also be neglected since perfect sq. has at least 2 0's at d
end...... So don’t consider 1st, 3rd and 4th case... Calculate sq. root for 2nd case... The nearest perfect square is
3600 which is square root of 60... So values result should be greater than 60...
Hence 4489 is the perfect square... 84 must be subtracted...
Ans: 84

35. Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 4 hours and 5 hours respectively. If they are turned up alternatively for
one hour each, then time taken to fill the tank is:
1. 2 hrs. 15mins 2. 4 hrs. 24mins 3. 5 hrs. 4. 3 hrs.
Solution: A's 1 hr. work = 1/4
B's 1 hr. work = 1/5
A is opened at the 1st hr...
Part of tank filled in 1st hr = 1/4
B is opened at the 2nd hr...
Part of tank filled in 2nd hr = 1/4+1/5 = 9/20
in 2 hrs. ---> 9/20 part filled
In 4 hrs. --> X part filled
x = 4/2 * 9/20
x = 18/20
So in 4 hrs. Part of tank filled = 18/20 => 9/10
Remaining to be filled = 1 - 9/10 = 1/10
so in 5th hr, A will be kept opened...
A will fill 1/4 part --> In 1 hr
A will fill 1/10 part -->in x hr
x = 4/10 = 2/5hrs => 2/5 * 60 mins => 24mins
so total time taken = 4 hrs. + 24 mins
Ans: (2) 4hrs 24mins

48. Each question has a set of four statements. Each statement has three segments. Choose the alternative where
the third segment in the statement can be logically deduced using both the preceding two, but not just from one
of them.
A. No ghost’s laugh; some who laugh are demons; some demons are not ghosts.
B. Some lunatic people are guitarists; all lunatic people are vocalists; some vocalists are guitarists.
C. All jesters are colorful; some jesters do not sing; some singers are not colorful.
D. Soccer players indulge in betting; those who bet are punished; those who are punished are not soccer players.
Option a) A and B only b) C only c) A only d) A and D
Solution:Answer: A and B only
Reason:
Sentence 1:
No Ghost -> Laugh
Some Demons -> Laugh
Since demons can also be ghosts and some of them laugh. hencethose demons cannot be ghosts.
Sentence 2:
Some Lunatic -> Guitarist
All Lunatic -> Vocalist
so, a vocalist may or may not be a lunatic. Some vocalists have to lunatics and since out of such lunatics some of
them are guitarists, since all of them are vocalists.
Hence, some vocalists are guitarists.
Sentence 3:
All jesters -> colorful
some jesters -> Not sing
so some jesters can sing. However if we take the fact that some jesters who are singers, then by the third
statement they are not colorful, which is a contradiction with the first statement.
Sentence 4:
This statement is grossly wrong as nothing like "Some" or "All" is mentioned in the first two statement.
49. Find out the one word among the options which cannot be formed by using the letters of the word as given in

digit is always greater than the lower order digits?
1: 8 2: 9 3: 10 4: 15
Solution: Ans : 10 ways
Given
100th digit is always greater than the 10's digit and unit digit
so possible numbers for 100th position are 9, 7 ,5
if we select 3, d remaining 2 can occupy 2, 5 ,7, 9 which is greater than the 100th digit...
so if d 100th digit is "9" remaining 2 digits may any 2 among 4 {2 ,3 ,5 ,7} --> 4C2 = 6
so if d 100th digit is "7" remaining 2 digits may any 2 among 3 {2 ,3 ,5} --> 3C2 = 3
so if d 100th digit is "5" remaining 2 digits may any 2 among 2 {2 ,3} --> 2C2 = 2
so totally 6 + 3 + 1 = 10ways

81. There was a circle. A square of max size was cut from it.From this square, a circle of max size was cut. What
was the ratio of this final size w.r.t initial size?
Solution: Let's Assume diameter of the circle be 'D'
When a square of maximum size is cut then the diagonal of the square is the equal to the diameter of the circle
So diagonal of square is "D"
Hence side of square is SQRT(D/2)(i.e. Square root of)
Then from this square a maximum size of circle is cut then diameter of circle is equal to the side of the square
So diameter of new circle is SQRT(D/2)
So ratio of diameter of final to the initial is SQRT(1/2)
Hence ratio of areas is 1/2.

scores differed by 9, find the total score.
a) 151 b) 161 c) 121 d) 101 e) 137
Solution: ANS C
Let the total score be X
then first highest = 3/11 x
then next highest is 3/11th of the remainder i.e. 3/11 * (1-3/11)
subtracting the two we get 3/11 - 3/11(1-3/11)
3/11(1-8/11)x = 9
3/11(3/11)x = 9
(9/121)x = 9
x = 121
so x= 121
87. A clock was 7mts behind the actual time on 3 p.m. on Wednesday and 8 mts ahead of actual time on 4 p.m.
Friday. When will it show the correct time?
Solution: from 3 pm wed to 4 pm Friday it take 49 hours to make -7 to +8 = 15 minutes difference.
so the wrong part change per minutes =(49*60)/15=(49*4)=196 minutes
this implies that every 196 minutes clock is being increasing its speed by 1 minutes so for 7 minutes it will takes
7*196=1372 minutes
now converting 1372 min in hours we have 22hr 52min...(We do it by dividing 1372 by 60 where quotient is
hour n remainder is min)
so from 3 pm wed it takes 22hrs and 52 minutes to make zero minutes difference at 1:52 pm on Thursday
88. A string of pearls such that 1/3 is lost and of that 1/4th is missing, remaining is 20 then actual number of
pearls?
Solution: 48 is the actual number of pearls.
Let total Number of Pearls = x
Number of pearls lost = x/3
Number of pearls missing = x/4
Remaining Pearls = 20
==> x = x/3 + x/4 + 20
==> x = (4x+3x)/12 + 20
==> x = (7x + 240) / 12
==> 12x = 7x + 240
==> 5x = 240
==> x = 240/5
==> x = 48...
Missing Pearls = x/3 = 48/3 = 16 pearls
Lost pearls = x/4 = 48/4 = 12 pearls
Page | 18
Remaining = 20
so, total = 16+12+20 = 48pearls.
89. Travelling at 3/4th the speed a man is 20 minutes later then speed is?
Solution: suppose L be the dist., V be his normal speed. Now L/ (3/4 V) = L/V + 20.
So, 4/3 * L/V = L/V + 20,
Or 1/3 * L/V = 20,
we get L/V = 60 (min)
but this is time for normal speed i.e. t=60 and the other time t'=60+20=80 min.
now v-v'= 1-3/4 =1/4
so. L/60-L/80=1/4 HENCE L=6 KM
SO, v = 6km/60 min or, 6km/h
90. A bucket contains z drops. And it leaks x drops in t secs. Then the time required to empty the bucket(in
minutes)?
Solution: x drops are leaked in t seconds.
So, 1 drop is leaked in t/x second.
Therefore, z drops are leaked in t*z/x seconds
Now, 1 minute equals 60 seconds.
Hence, 1/60 minutes equal 1 second.
So, t*z/ (60*x) minutes are required to empty the bucket.
91. A monkey climbs 6 mts and falls 3mts in alternate minutes. Thentime taken to climb a tree 60metres high?
Solution: the monkey goes up 6m in 1 minute and comes down 3m in the next minute
so, the monkey will climb up 3 metres in every 2 minutes
but here is a trick, if the monkey reaches the top, it will not come down again!
so subtract 6 metres from 60 metres, u will get 54 metres
then the monkey will go up 54 metres in 36 minutes, rest 6 metre, he will take 1 minute
so, total 37 minutes
92. a+b+c=0, then roots of ax^2+bx+c = 0 is

a) imaginary b) real c) coincidental d) zero
Solution: Roots of the quadratic equation are
x = [-b +/- sqrt (b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a................... [1]
Since, a+b+c = 0 ==> b = -(a+c)
b^2 = (a+c)^2 = a^2+c^2 +2ac
b^2 -4ac = a^2+c^2-2ac = (a-c)^2 ........... [2]
From [1] and [2], we get,
x = [a+c +/- (a-c)] / 2a
Solving above, X roots are 1 and c/a
ROOTs are Real

99. 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
Solution: c. 37
in 1st (odd minute) minute monkey climbs = 6m
in 2nd minute monkey falls = 3m
so, in every 2minutes it only climbs = 6m-3m = 3meters.
So, 2min = 3meters.
2*18 = 3*18
36min= 54meters
in 37th (odd minute) minute, it climb 6m = 54 +6 = 60meters.
So, in 37th minute it climbs 60 meters to reach top.

Solution: (A+B) 1 hr work=2/15 (A+B)'s work in 5/2 hrs=2/15*5/2=1/3
Remaining Part=1-1/3=2/3
since A fills 2/3 parts in 20/3 hrs.
So A fills 1 part in(20/3*3/2)hrs.=10hrs
Answer:-10hrs
102. A cistern has three pipes A,B and C the pipes A and B can fill it in 4 and 5 hours respectively and C can
empty it in 2 hours. If the pipes are opened in order at 1, 2 and 3 a.m. respectively, when will the cistern be
empty?
[A] 5 a.m. [C] 5 p.m. [B] 6 p.m. [D] 6 a.m.
Solution: 5 PM
tank filled up to 3 am = 2*1/4 + 1/5 = 1/2 +1/5 = 7/10
tank drained in 1 hr when 3 pipes are opened = 1/2 -1/4 -1/5 = 1/20
so already filled 7/10 tank is drained in 14 hrs. i.e. at 3+14 = 1700 hrs. Or 5PM.
103. Three pipes A,B and C can fill a cistern in 7 hours. After working at it together for 2 hours C is closed. Now
A and B require 10 hours more to fill it. How long will C take to fill the cistern alone?
[A] 12 h [C] 14 h [B] 13 h [D] 15 h
Solution: (A+B+C)'s 1hr work=1/7
partly filled in 2hrs=2/7
remaining work=5/7
Hence A+B's 10hrs work=5/7
(A+B)'s 1hr work=5/70
c work alone=((A+B+C)'s 1hr work)-((A+B)'s 1hr work)
=1/7-5/70
=14hrs
104. A cistern is filled in 9 hours and it takes 10 hours when there is a leak in its bottom. if the cistern is full, in

108. Two taps can fill a tank in 12 and 18 min. respectively. Both are kept open for 2 min. and the first is turned
off. In how many min. more will the tank be filled?
Solution: Tank filled in 2 mins= 2*(1/12 +1/18) = 2*5/36 = 5/18
remaining tank to be filled by 2nd tap = 13/18
5/6 tank will be filled by 2nd tank in (13/18)*18= 13 mins .... Option D
109. Filling pipe, if opened alone, takes 5 min. to fill a cistern. suddenly, during the course of filling, the waste
pipe (which is of similar size and flow as of fill pipe) is opened for 2 min., then the cistern will be filled in.
Solution: fill rate =1/5 min
and as outlet is of same size and flow>> empty rate = 1/5
total rate for 2 minutes when both pipes are working =1/5-1/5=0>>>>> for 2 minutes no part will be filled and
nor will be emptied
so now 2 minutes are wasted hence 5+2 = 7 minutes
110. Two fillings pipes can fill a cistern in 10 and 12 min. respectively and when the waste pipe is open, they can
together fill it in 15 min. The waste pipe can empty the full cistern in?
[A] 8 min [B] 8 4/7 min [C] 7 min [D] 7 1/2 min
Solution: If x mins are taken by waste pipe to drain the cistern, then
1/15 = 1/12 +1/10 -1/x
1/x= 1/12 +1/10 - 1/15 = (5+6-4)/60 = 7/60
x= 60/7 mins= 8 4/7 mins....
111. Two taps can fill a cistern in 10 and 8 hours respectively. A third tap can empty it in 15 hours . if all the taps
are opened together , the cistern will be filled in
[A] 5 h [C] 12 h [B] 6 h [D] 6 6/19 h
Solution: the answer is option D)
a+b's 1hr work=1/10+1/8
third tap empty =1/15 of tank
all taps opened together 1/10+1/8-1/15 of tank==19/120
1hr=19/120 of tank
120/9 hrs=complete tank=6 6/19

112. Two fill pipes A and B can fill a tank in 30 and 20 hours respectively. Pipe B alone
is kept open for half the time and both pipes are kept open for the remaining time. In how many hours the tank
will be completely full?
[A] 12 h [C] 14 h [B] 13 h [D] 15 h
Solution: Pipe A 1 hr work=1/30
Pipe B 1 hr work=1/20
let total time required to fill the tank =xhrs
since pipe B is open for half hr so work done by pipe B in x/2 hrs =x/40hrs
and work done by pipe (A+B) in remaining x/2 hrs=x/24hrs
so total work done is =x/40+x/24
1=x/40+x/24
=>1=8x/120
=>120=8x
so x=15hrs
113. Two fill pipes A and B can fill a tank in 15 and 12 hours respectively. Pipe B alone is kept open for 3/4 of
time and both pipes are kept open for remaining time. In how many hours, the tank will be full?
[A] 18 h [C] 16 h [B] 11 h [D] 10 h
Solution: Work done by B = (1/12)*(3/4)= 1/16
Remaining work = 1-(3/4)= 1/4
Remaining work done by A & B = ((1/15)+(1/12))*(1/4)=3/80
(1/16)+(3/80)= (8/80)=1/10
ANS = 10h
114. Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 72 hours, B and C can fill it in 120 hours and pipes A and C can fill it
in 90 hours. Then the pipe A alone can fill it in?
[A] 150 h [C] 80 h [B] 120 h [D] 90 h
Solution: 2a+2b+2c=1/72+1/120+1/90
a+b+c=1/60
a=1/60-1/120=1/120
=120 hr

16 boys 1 day work=1/25
1 boy 1 day work=1/25*16
20 boys 1 day work=20/25*16=1/20
so 10 men and 20 boys 1 day work=1/20+1/20=1/10
Ans:- 10 days
142. A certain number of men completed a piece of work in 80 days. If there were 10 men more, the could be
finished in 10 days less. How many men were originally there?
[A] 80 men [C] 70 men [B] 45 men [D] 60 men
Solution: let originally there were x men.
x men 1 day work=1/80
1 man 1 day work=1/80x
x+10 men 1 day work=1/70
1 man 1 day work=1/70(x+10)
so 1/80x=1/70(x+10)
80x=70(x+10)
10x=700
so x=70
145. A can do a piece of work in 5 hours, B in 9 hours and C in 15 hours. if C could work with them for 1 hour
only, the time taken by A and B together to complete the work is.
[A] 8 hours [C] 5 hours [B] 3 hours [D] 2 hours
Solution: A work in 1 hour=1/5
b work in 1 hour =1/9
c work in 1 hour = 1/15
Page | 27
a+b+c work in 1 hour = 1/5 + 1/9+ 1/15=17/45
c's work in 1 hour= 1/15
after 1 hour remaining work = 1-1/15=14/15
a+b work in 1 hour= 1/5+ 1/9 = 14/45
remaining work by a+b in 1 hour = 14/45 * 15/14 = 1/3
so a and b work together to complete this work in 3 hours.
146. 1 man or 2 women or 3 boys can do a piece of work in 88 days. 1 man, 1 woman and 1 boy will do it in
Solution: 1 man 1 day work =1/88
2 women 1 day work=1/88
1 woman 1 day work=1/176
3 boys 1 day work=1/88
1 boy 1 day work=1/264
so 1 man , 1 boy and 1 woman 1 day work=1/88+1/264+1/176=11/528=48
147. 6 men and 4 women finish a job in 15 days, while 3 men and 5 women finish it in 10 days. 15 women
working alone will finish it in.
Solution: 1 man's 1 day's work=x and 1 woman's 1 day's work=y
so,from this we are getting two equations:6x+4y=1/15...(1)
3x+5y=1/10...(2)
BY equating we get,y=1/45
therefore,15 women can do 1/45 part of a work in 1 day
15 women can finish the total work in (45/15)=3 days
148. If 6 men or 12 women can do a piece of work in 21 days, 5 min and 8 women will do the same work in
Solution:6 men can do it in 21 days
1day work is 1/21*6
1day work of women is 1/21*12
so,5men is 5/21*6
8women s 8/21*12
total is 5/21*6 + 8/21*12 =14 days
149. A,B and C together earn Rs.270 per day while A and C together earn Rs.115 and B and C together earn 167.
The daily earning of C is [A] Rs.16 [C] Rs.12 [B] Rs.17 [D] Rs.24
Solution: Let (A+B+C) X=270
The earn of A and C=115.(i.e.) A + C =115
Therefore, B=X-115 (i.e.)B=270-115
B=155
The earn of B and C=167
Therefore C = 167-B
= 167-155
= 12
i.e., C=12
150. A does half as much work as B in one third of the time. if together they take 20 days to complete a work,
how much time shall B take to do it?
Solution: Let B take x days to complete the work
So in 1 day B does 1/x work
A takes 2x/3 days to complete the work
In one day A does 2/3x work
Page | 28
Therefore (1/x)+(2/3x)=1/20;
x=50
B will do it in 50 days
151. A and B can do a piece of work in 18 days.B and C together can do it in 24 days. if A is twice as good a
work man as C, find in what time B alone can do it.
Solution: (A+B)'s 1 day work = 1/ 18 and A=2C. (B+C)'s 1 day work = 1/24.
Subtracting we get C's 1 day work = 1/72 and hence A=2C => A's 1 day work = 1/36.
So B's 1 day = 1/36 - 1/18 = 1/36. So B can do in 36 days

a 33.33% b 16.67% c 25% d 20%
Solution: let cp of 1 article be Re.1
cp of 10 articles=Rs.10
sp of 10 articles=cp of 12 articles=Rs.12
%p=(2/10)*100=20%
184. The cost price of 21 articles is equal to thc selling price of 18 articles, profit percentage is?
a 33.33% b 16.67% c 25% d 1.667%
Solution: Let the CP of one article = Rs. C and SP = Rs. S
21C = 18S
C = (6/7)S
C < S = Profit
Formula : SP = (100 + P% / 100) CP
S = (100 + P% / 100 ) C
S/C = (100 + P% / 100 )
7/6 = (100 + P% / 100 )
7/6 X 100 = 100 + P%
700/6 - 100 = P%
100/6 = P %
P % = 16.67
185. If 12 men and 16 boys can do a piece of work in 5 days; 13 men and 24 boys can do it in 4 days, then the
ratio of the daily work done by a man to that of a boy is:
1. 2 : 1 2. 3 : 1 3. 3 : 2 4. 6 : 7
Solution: 1 man's 1 day work = 1/x
Page | 34
12 men's 1 day work = 12/x
13 men's 1 day work = 13/x
1 boy's 1 day work = 1/y
12/x+16/y = 1/5--------------1
13/x+24/y = 1/4--------------2
SOLVING 1 AND 2
we get x = 100 and y = 200
Ratio of daily work done by man to that of a boy = 1/x : 1/y
= 1/100 : 1/200
=2:1
186. Sixteen men can complete a work in twelve days. Twenty-four children can complete the samework in
eighteen days. Twelve men and eight children started working and after eight days three more children joined
them. How many days will they now take to complete the remaining work?
1. 5 days 2. 4 days 3. 10 days 4. 9 days
Solution: 1man's 1day work=1/(16*12)=1m
1child's 1day work=1/(24*18)=1c
12m+8c's 1 day work=12(1/(16*12))+8(1/(24*18))=70/(16*54)
(12m+8c)'s 8days work=(8*70)/(16*54)=35/54
remaining work=19/54
now,3 more children is added
(12m+8c+3c)'s 1 day work=12(1/(16*12))+8(1/(24*18))+3(1/(24*18))=19/(18*12)
for 19/54th work it would be (19/(18*12))*(54/19)=1/4
so,ans is 4 days
187. Walking 6/7th of his usual speed, a man is 12 minutes too late. The usual time taken by him to cover that
distance is:
1. 2 hour 2. 1 hr 12 min. 3. 1 hr 15 min. 4. 45 min
Solution: As the distance is same
s*t=6/7s*(t+12)
t=72 min
1 hour 12 min
189. If a man walks a certain distance in 20 days when he rests 10 h each day, how long, will it take him to walk
three times as far, if he walks twice as fast and rest 12 h each day?
Solution: case1-
days=20
rest per day=10hr
walks per day=24-10=14hr
time for 20 days=14*20=280hr
d=s*t
d/s=t
d/s=280 -> 1st equation
case2-
D=3d where D=new distance and d=old distance
S=2s where S=new speed and s=old speed
D=S*T where T=new time
put the values of D and S
3d=2s *T
3d/2s=T
put the value of d/s from 1st equation
3/2 * 280 =T
Page | 35
T=420 hr
rest per day=12 hr
walks per day=24-12=12hr
he is walking 12hrs per day so , he requires 35 days for 420 hrs.

them started working and then B left after 4 days.C left 3 days after that and then immediately B joined A again
to complete the remaining work.In how many days was the work
completed?
a)10 b)12 c)14 d)22
Solution: 2(A+B+C)=1/10+1/12+1/15
A+B+C 1 day work is=1/8
A+B+C 4 days work is=1/8*4=1/2
then b is left so the
remaining work is 1-1/2=1/2
A+C 1 day work is 1/15
A+C 3 days work is 1/15*3=1/5
then C is left so remaining work is=1/2-1/5=3/10
and B is again add with A to do remaining work
A+B 1 day work is 1/10
in x day complete the 3/10 work is
x=3/10*10=3
so total 3+3+4=10
195. If a train runs at 40 kmph, it reaches its destination late by 11 minutes but if it runs at 50 kmph, it is late by
5 minutes only. The correct time for the train to complete its journey is:
1. 13 min. 2. 17 min. 3. 19 min. 4. 22 min.
Page | 36
Solution: If the distance=x km., Time taken@40 kmph =x/40 and @50 kmph=x/50
Difference between these two time is (11-5)=6 min.=1/10 hour
So [(x/40)]-[(x/50)]= 1/6, x=20
Time taken @ 40 kmph=x/40= 20/40= 1/2 hours=30 min.,which is 11 min late
So correct time=30-11= 19 min.

Syntel Interview Experience

1st Experience- Mumbai, October 31, 2015
Hello, just an effort to help you be SYNTELLECT,
Aptitude of Syntel was there on 15 June. It consisted of the three section i.e. verbal, Quants and logical having a
sectional time as well as sectional cutoff.
The result was declared on 10th of august and the interview was scheduled on 31 October.
There were three rounds Gd then technical and later on Hr, each one was an elimination round. Each group
consisted of 10 students for discussion. Our topic was "Is rising technology affecting income of common man".
Page | 37
They were judging only the communication skill (I think, as they shortlisted 8 from our
group then 7 9 and even 10 from a grp).
Instantly after the GD they announced the name of shortlisted candidates and told us to wait in the cafeteria.
Soon there was a call for technical. As I am an E&TC engineer, they focused on the project part, even the
mentioned minor project was asked. On software part, Interviewer asked; what is the difference between C and
CPP. Difference between struct and union. Whether we can declare functions in struct or not, and y? and it was
done.
After waiting for a while my name was called as a shortlisted candidate. In Hr, She asked about hobbies, when
said then she questioned, why you didn’t pursue it as your career. Then asked for weakness. When said I'm
straightforward, she pounced, three weaknesses. Q. What if you fall for a hindu guy? I told am having self
control so she asked what if someone else fall for you. At this I said I never thought of that thing.(and I think this
was my mistake).
2nd Experience -Mumbai, October 11, 2014

Hello friends,
I'm Raj from Gujarat, I have done E&C. Folks monster gave me an opportunity to connect with Syntel. So first of
all thanks to monster.
On 31st may 2014, there were aptitude test. It have 3 sections reasoning, verbal and aptitude. Each section have
30 q and for each section time duration was 20 min. So 90 q in 60 min. I felt that it's all about on time
management. Test was not much tough. What you need to do is, manage your timings. If you able to do so then
you will surely crack this part without any hurdles.
On 16th September I got the call letter for further interview process. Interview at Syntel (Mumbai) on 11th
October. There were 3 stages in interview process. All considered as a elimination stage. First one was GD.
Group of 10 members was formed and given 2 min exactly for preparing on "Influence of social media".
Disappointed that I was not able to initiate even when I have a point and proper explanation on hand. But I rapt
attention of others quickly and made my points with examples in firm voice. After that no extra points added in
discussion because of it was stuck on misuse of Facebook! Folks they literally quarreled. So at last they asked
individual views to all, except me and one other girl. Just because we made some good points. 10 out of 7

5th Experience-Pune, March 01 & 02, 2014

Hello Everyone, I attended the referral drive for fresher’s of 2013 batch for Syntel.
The first round was the aptitude test on the 1st of March.
The second round was the GD on the 2nd of March.
The third round was the technical interview (face2face) on the 2nd of March.
The fourth round was the HR interview (face2face) on the 2nd of March.
For some of the candidates, the tech and the HR interview was conducted together.
In the aptitude,
90 questions.
30 on Analytical Reasoning,
30 on Numerical Reasoning (mathematical aptitude),
30 on Verbal Reasoning (grammar),
60 mins,
No negative marking,
One mark per question,
5 options per question (this was unusual).
In analytical,
there were questions on family-relation, coding-decoding, SAINT/LIAR, number series, etc.
Since I did not have enough time to answer all questions, I don't know the other question types.
In numerical,
3 questions on average, time and distance, profit and loss; 2 on work and time, mixtures, trains. Questions on
Pipes, Ratio, HCF, Simple interest, Compound interest, Simplification, Area.
Not very highly complex questions, but a little bit of twist should be expected.
R.S Agarwal will be more than enough to crack the Syntel apti.
In verbal,
Page | 39
5 questions on correct words in the blank space,
5 questions on synonyms,
2 on antonyms,
5 questions on correct order of sentences,
5 questions on spotting errors,
8 questions on a passage.
They were usual typical Syntel questions. The questions seem tough but the options give you hints. Go through
the options once, properly.
In the evening I got a mail saying that I have been selected for further rounds of the interview.
Hurray!!!
The Next Day:
In GD, the topic was 'Who is a better captain, Ricky Ponting or SauravGanguly'.
Girls, please don't panic if you know nothing about Cricket.
Since all 10 participants of the group were boys, the invigilator, after a mutual agreement with us, gave us the
topic.
Best part of the GD was that the invigilator had asked us to be aggressive since it was an all boys group. We
listened to him.
I talked thrice for 20 secs each with a good firm voice and got rapt attention from others. Though I had an option
to be aggressive, I chose to be within limits.
Don't get carried away. It may be a trap.
If you are interrupted, keep saying 'please let me complete, please listen to me for a while'. Being aggressive does
not mean speaking on top of your voice and lose your temper. Remember, its still a discussion, not a fight.
There were some good speakers in the group. Hence 7 out of 10 got selected including me.
In the end of the GD, the candidates who did not speak much had a chance given to them by the invigilator. 1 of
them grabbed the chance and the other 3 were rejected.
In the technical interview, there was a single person taking my interview.
The interviewer greeted me asked me to have a seat.
I thanked him for that.
Question 1: Tell me something about yourself [Meanwhile, he was going through my CV carefully].
Answered about me, my education, my family, hobbies.
Question 2: Your project seem interesting, can you explain it to me in detail?
Answered with the basic flow of the project, drew a few diagrams about the flow, and explained the architecture
and different modules. Lot of hand gestures to represent client/server interactions.
[He cross questioned me on a few things; I answered all of those].
Question 3: What do you know about 'JMeter'? (It was mentioned it in my CV)
Answered.
Question 4: Are you ready to work in shifts?
YES.
Question 5: Are you ready to relocate?
YES.
Question 5: You have mentioned 6 technical skills, what are you most comfortable with?
Answered.
Question 6: Are you ready to work in analysis and testing?
Given a choice, I would definitely choose development, but if Syntel reckons that I am more utilizable in the
testing domain, I will joyfully accept the domain.
Interviewer: Okay, Good. It was nice meeting you Tufail.
Me: It was nice meeting you too Sir. Have a nice day.
I left the room and shut the dooe behind me.
After 10 mins of waiting outside, a HR coordinator came to me saying "Please follow me for your HR round!"
I was like 'phew!!!'
My HR too was taken by a single person.
In the HR interview:
Page | 40
The HR greeted me and asked me to have a seat.
I thanked him for that. He went through my CV carefully.
HR: Why have your marks gone down after your 10th?

and pulling things off in the final year.

Answered about my long-term and short-term aspirations.

Answered that I need to be more objective in a competitive environment.
HR: Asked me a puzzle about '2 dice which would always show dates of a month'?
Could not solve entirely. But kept trying to solve till he asked me to stop. Although, I reached till a partially
correct stage (HR agreed to it).
HR: No problem, That's all from me. Do you have any questions for me?
NO.
HR: Okay, Good. It was nice meeting you Tufail.
Me: It was nice meeting you too Sir. Have a nice day.
HR: You too. Best of luck.
On the 5th of March, in the evening, I got an e-mail that was ecstasy for me. Golden words for any fresher - "You

A, B and C's one day work would be 1/12 + 1/24 + 1/6 = 7/24.
A, B and C's together finish their work in 24/7 Days
42. Ans C.
Let's Assume initial amount is 100
trader intially marks his goods up by 50% means cost will be 150
Then two successive discounts of 20% each
First discount=150-150x0.2 = 120
Second one =120-120x0.2 = 96
Hence loss by 4%
43. ANS. B
Let the cost of production of the table be Rs X
Then ,125% of 115% of 110% of x=1265
1.25*1.15*1.1*X=1265
1.58*X = 1265
X=(1265/1.58)= Rs.800
44. Ans : B
Let's Assume X is the Number
53*X = 35*x + 1206
18X = 1206
X is 67
45. ANS C
Let the total score be X
then first highest = 3/11 x
then next highest is 3/11th of the remainder ie 3/11 * (1-3/11)
subtracting the two we get 3/11 - 3/11(1-3/11)
3/11(1-8/11)x = 9
3/11(3/11)x = 9
(9/121)x = 9
Page | 57
x = 121
so x= 121
46. from 3 pm wed to 4 pm friday it take 49 hours to make -7 to +8 = 15 minutes difference .
so the wrong part change per minutes =(49*60)/15=(49*4)=196 minutes
this impies that evry 196 minutes clock is being increasing its speed by 1 minutes so for 7
minutes it will takes 7*196=1372 minutes approx 22.86 hrs = 22 hr 49 minutes ...
so from 3 pm wed it takes 22hrs and 49 minutes to make zero minutes difference of being late
=2:49pm pm thursday answer
47. let the no of pearls be=x
then 1/3 get lost so remaining =x-x/3=(2x/3)
and from that 1/4 is missing so=(2x/3)-(2x/12)=x/2
and remaining is equal to 20
so x/2=20
x=40
48. Let L be the distance, V be his usual speed.
We have L/(3/4 V) = L/V + 20.
So, 4/3 * L/V = L/V + 20,
Or 1/3 * L/V = 20,
we get L/V = 60 (min)
49. leakage of x drop in t sec.So in 60 sec(1 min.)=60x/t drops
Therefor for leakage of z drops=z/(60x/t)= zt/60x min.
50. 37 mins
A monkey climbs 6 mts and falls 3mts in alternate minutes. Means in 2 minutes distance covered
is 3mts.
In 36 mins distance covered is 54 meters. on 37th minute it reaches to 60 meters
51. Ans is Real Values.
Roots of the quadratic equation are
x = [-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a ................... [1]
Since, a+b+c = 0 ==> b = -(a+c)
b^2 = (a+c)^2 = a^2+c^2 +2ac
b^2 -4ac = a^2+c^2-2ac = (a-c)^2 ........... [2]
From [1] and [2], we get,
x = [a+c +/- (a-c)] / 2a
Solving above, X roots are 1 and c/a
ROOTs are Real
52. Wednesday
5th day after 21st of that month means 26th Day of the month
53. 12
It is increasing by 3.
9 +3=12
12 +3=15
15 +3=18
Page | 58
18 +3=21
21 +3=24
So, final sequence will be 9 ,12 ,15 ,18 ,21 ,24
54. Let m denotes mangoes and o denotes oranges.
5m + 4o = 7m + o
=> 3o = 2m
=> m/o = 3/2
Therefore ratio of Mangoes to Oranges is 3:2
55. Given B=90 & BM is median to AC
Thus AM=MC,
AC=2BM
Pythogarus Theorem,
AB2+BC2 = AC2
Now,
AC = 2*BM
So, AB2+BC2 = (2*BM)2 = 4BM2
56. The formula to find average speed is = 2xy/(x+y) [where x and y are the two given speeds. so
according to this problem... the average speed is. 2*u*(u/2)/(u+u/2)= 2u/3 kmph.
57. c. 37
In 1st(odd minute) minute monkey climbs = 6m
In 2nd minute monkey falls = 3m
So, In every 2minutes it only climbs = 6m-3m = 3meters.
S0, 2min = 3meters.
2*18 = 3*18
36min= 54meters
In 37th(odd minute) minute, it climb 6m = 54 +6 = 60meters.
So, in 37th minute it climbs 60 meters to reach top.
58. A + B = 1/12 + 1/18 = 5/36
Aftr 4 min= 5/9
remaining = 4/9
B = 4/9 * 18 = 8min
59. (A+B) 1 hr work=2/15 (A+B)'s work in 5/2 hrs=2/15*5/2=1/3
Remaining Part=1-1/3=2/3
since A fills 2/3 parts in 20/3 hrs
so A fills 1 part in(20/3*3/2)hrs=10hrs
Answer:-10hrs
60. 5 PM
tank filled up to 3 am = 2*1/4 + 1/5 = 1/2 +1/5 = 7/10
tank drained in 1 hr when 3 pipes are opened = 1/2 -1/4 -1/5 = 1/20
so already filled 7/10 tank is drained in 14 hrs i.e. at 3+14 = 1700 hrs or 5PM.
61. (A+B+C)'s 1hr work=1/7
partly filled in 2hrs=2/7
remaining work=5/7
Page | 59
Hence A+B's 10hrs work=5/7
(A+B)'s 1hr work=5/70
c work alone=((A+B+C)'s 1hr work)-((A+B)'s 1hr work)
=1/7-5/70
=14hrs
62. from given data ,in 1 hr part of cistern fill=1/9.
due to leak,10 hrs require(given data)
hence,water filled in cistern by inlet-wastage of water by leak = 10 hrs
let x=water is leaked from bottom
1/9 -1/x=1/10
1/x=1/9 -1/10
1/x =1/90
x=90
ANSWER=90 h(d)
63. Work done by the tap and the leak in 1 hr=(1/5-1/30)=5/30=1/6
since 1/6 part is fill 1n 1hr
so 1 part is fill in 6hrs.
Ans:- 6hrs
64. 1/h part can be fill in 1 hour, so in y hr the pool is full by =(1*1/h*y)=y/h
65. the answer is optn D)
a+b's 1hr work=1/10+1/8
third tap empty =1/15 of tank
all taps opend together 1/10+1/8-1/15 of tank==19/120
1hr=19/120 of tank
120/9 hrs=complet tank=6 6/19
66. Pipe A 1 hr work=1/30
Pipe B 1 hr work=1/20
let total time required to fill the tank =xhrs
since pipe B is open for half hr so work done by pipe B in x/2 hrs =x/40hrs
and work done by pipe (A+B) in remaining x/2 hrs=x/24hrs
so total work done is =x/40+x/24
1=x/40+x/24
=>1=8x/120
=>120=8x
so x=15hrs
67. If total time taken is x hrs, then
x*1/12 + (x/4)*(1/15) =1
x(1/12 +1/60)=1
x*(5+1)/60
x= 10 hrs ... option D
68. 2a+2b+2c=1/72+1/120+1/90
a+b+c=1/60
Page | 60
a=1/60-1/120=1/120
=120 hr ans
69. work done by leak in 1 hr=(1/6-1/8)=1/24
so leak will empty cistern in 24 hrs
70. when repairing , its completed in 9/2 hrs
when leak nullified take half hrs less so in 4 hrs
1/4-2/9=1/36
hence it wwould take 36 hr
71. work done by(A+B+C) in 1 hr=1/30+1/20-1/25
=13/300
so time required to fill the tank=300/13=23.08
72. work done by (A+B) in 1 hr=1/30+1/60
=9/180
=1/20
so total time= 20 hrs
73. its 2:3
we can verify from the answers
that is 2*(1/4):3*(1/3)
that is ½
74. If The fourth proportional to 5,6 and 150 is x, then
5x= 6*150
x= 6*150/5= 180 ...... option D
75. Option A 300
The marks are in the ratio of 15:10:18
Marks obtained in Hindi=15*860/43=300
