SECTION III
REASONING

(TIME IS A CONSTRAINT)

1.) (last question and the easiest) a simple flowchart whose steps
are as follows. value of r and h are given, a and b=0 m=pi*r*r*h
n=(pi*r*r*h)/3 if (m==n) do ------else b=4*pi*r*h print a and b
[DON'T REMEMBER IF conditon is m==n or m < n]

2.) (second last question this was also easy) it was abt a set of
people talking 4 languages and then qns were abt who could act as a
translator to whom ........

3.) there were 3 questions based on an argument given... questions
were to find out which statement in the objectives given could
strengthen the argument or to weaken the argument....(bit confusing)

4.) blood relationship question( i remember all the statements given,
though not the question)
10 people in a family A B C are husbands D E F are wives
altogether there are only 4 women. each family can have atmost 2
children and C has atleast 1 child. D and G are related to A. E
cannot be related to H and I and J are not related.....

5.) (this consists of the most confusing set of questions)
a set of statements are given and then questions were asked, the
statements were like
All A B C D E F are Q's
All A's are B's


(better leave this question for the last)

6.) Alice works on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
B does not work on Wed
C works only on Tuesday and someotherday(don't remember)
D does not work on Friday
E works on all days except on the first Monday and Thursday
then questions like who all will be available on which days .....

7.) question based on venn diagram given ......read the question
properly and then answer

8.) (first question) abt 4 buses with different seating capacity.and
different charges. and questions were to find out the minimum number
of trips required, the maximum charge, the second highest charge
etc....

one more thing: though they said abt 50% cut-off for each
section, for us THEY HAD CONSIDERED THE TOTAL(OUT OF 100) only AND
NOT THE CUT-OFF...... seems they have changed their processing
technique......don't think they are are going to change the questions
atleast for quite a while.....so this being the latest set, those
preparing for syntel, i would suggest u to peruse through the
questions and be ready to answer them.... remember rate of answering
counts in a lot for this test...
