ATOS ORIGIN PAPER ON 2nd AUGUST
hello friends myself praveen pursuing mca from nit jamshedpur. atos origin visited our campus on 2 august 2007 this company was my 11th company and i got selected in this company. after being rejected by tcs , wipro, accenture, ibm, aricent, keane india(caritor), satyam, patni, itc, globallogic. so never be hopeless one day must come for u.
written exam pattern:-
1. there are three sections (a) quantative apptitude = 30 ques.
(b) logical reasoning = 40 ques.
(c) english = 30 ques.
2. there is negative marking 1/2
(0.5) so be careful
3. there is sectional cutt off in each section. so time management is very
important try to solve at least 50% question of each section.
some questions.
(a) quantative apptitude :-(30 question)
quanti questions are easy one r.s. agarwall is more then enough some
questions are from percentage, profit and loss etc
e.g 1. two successive discounts are
20% 40% then its equivalent discount
2. if radius of cylinder is incresed by 30% and height is decresed by 40%
then what will % effect on volume of cylinder.
3.The total expense of a boarding house are partly fixed and partly variable
with the number of boarders. The charge is Rs.70 per head when there are 25
boarders and Rs.60 when there are 50 boarders. Find the charge per head when
there are 100 boarders.
a) 65
b) 55
c) 50
d) 45
soln.
a = fixed cost and
k = variable cost and n = number of boarders
total cost when 25 boarders c = 25*70 = 1750 i.e. 1750 = a + 25k
total cost when 50 boarders c = 50*60 = 3000 i.e. 3000 = a + 50k
solving above 2 eqns, 3000-1750 = 25k i.e. 1250 = 25k i.e. k = 50
therefore, substituting this value of k in either of above 2 eqns we get
a = 500 (a = 3000-50*50 = 500 or a = 1750 - 25*50 = 500)
so total cost when 100 boarders = c = a + 100k = 500 + 100*50 = 5500
so cost per head = 5500/100 = 55
4.Amal bought 5 pens, 7 pencils and
4 erasers. Rajan bought 6 pens, 8 erasers and 14 pencils for an amount which
was half more than what Amal had paid. What % of the total amount paid by
Amal was paid for pens?
a) 37.5%
b) 62.5%
c) 50%
d) None of these
soln.
Let, 5 pens + 7 pencils + 4 erasers = x rupees
so 10 pens + 14 pencils + 8 erasers = 2*x rupees
also mentioned, 6 pens + 14 pencils + 8 erarsers = 1.5*x rupees
so (10-6) = 4 pens = (2-1.5)x rupees
so 4 pens = 0.5x rupees => 8 pens = x rupees
so 5 pens = 5x/8 rupees = 5/8 of total (note x rupees is total amt paid by
amal) i.e 5/8 = 500/8% = 62.5% is the answer
(5) 2 oranges, 3 bananas and 4
apples cost Rs.15. 3 oranges, 2 bananas, and 1 apple costs Rs 10. What is
the cost of 3 oranges, 3 bananas and 3 apples?
a) 10 b) 20 c) 30.45 c) 15
soln. of 5.
2x+3y+4z=15
3x+2y+z=10
adding
5x+5y+5z=25
x+y+z=5 that is for 1 orange ,1 bannana and 1 apple requires 5Rs.
so for 3 orange ,3 bannana and 3 apple requires 15Rs.
i.e. 3x+3y+3z=15
(6) age of mohan's sister is thrice of mohan's age then what will be sister's age if mohan's age is 4 year at present. some questions are also from data interpreation. i can't remember other questions but these question certainly give you some ideas. about question level
