(1) Even though the exterminator did not pump gas into the walls of the fourth storey, the termites there died as quickly as they did on the first and second storeys. (2) The third floor had on termite infestation. (3) The speed at which termites are killed increase as the concentration of an exterminator's gas increases. (4) The speed with which the exterminator's gas kills termites drops off sharply as the gas dissipates throughout the building's walls.

3. A chemical company recently introduced a new type of foam spray that it claims will reduce the rate of erosion from walls of road cuts. A study by the company showed that the rate of erosion was low on a road cut where the from was applied. Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the company's conclusion? (1) Because the foam itself weathers, the foam would have to be reapplied every four years in order to maintain protection against erosion. (2) Road cuts similar to the one studied typically show low rates of erosion without the foam. (3) Studies by the company that produces the material are sometimes unreliable because of conflicts of interest. (4) The rate of erosion from the road cut in the study was greater then expected based on computer simulation models. 4. The Laysan Rail, an insectivore bird once present on several of the Hawaiian Islands, can no longer be found and is thought to be extinct. Scientist originally thought that a decrease in the amount of ground vegetation available for nesting was responsible for the decline of the bird. However, for the decline that increased competition for food was ultimately responsible for the Latsan Rail's inability to survive. When of the following would best help to account for the change in the accepted explanation for the Laysan Rail's extinctions? (1) When attempts were made to relocate the Laysan Rail to other islands, the birds lost the geographical cues that they relied on for finding mating sites. (2) The vegetation on the Laysan Rail's home island was decimated when rabbits were introduced to the island in the 1910s. (3) The Laysan Rail builds nests under dense ground cover to protect the eggs. (4) An increase in the use of pesticide resulted in a decrease in the numbers of flies and moths present in the Laysan Rail's territory. 5. Retail clothing stores hold one day only sales to clear merchandise that has been returned because it is defective in some way. The stores should sell this merchandise for up to 70 percent less then the original retail price. Stores will find these sales to be an effective way of getting rid of defective merchandise as long as they inform customers that the discounted merchandise is non-returnable. The author assumes which of the following about the one-day only sale merchandise in predicting the effectiveness of these sale?

(1) The rate of returns when merchandise is new makes this one day only sale key to a store profitably.

(3) Calling someone intelligent or not depends upon one's whim. (4) There is no need to be as indecisive as the writer of the above. 7. A highly cohesive work group is a prerequisite for high team performance. Sociologists point that the association between groups cohesion and success is owing to the support individual team members give to one another and their acceptance of the groups goals and activities. Each of the following, if true, either providers support for or cannot weaken the sociologists' assumption about the relationship between cohesion and success EXCEPT (1) University researchers found that there was a significant correlation between team productivity and the extent to which team members understood and complied with the group's objectives. (2) A group of Japanese researchers found that successful work teams were headed by dominant leaders.

Virtusa Sample Placement Paper 2009 Sections: 1. Analytical 2. Analytical Writing 3. C-Programming First when v clear the cutoff of Analytical section,only then other sections r evaluated.So,Don't waste time by spending much time on Programming. Analytical Section: ------------------Analytical Section consists of Vocab. ( pick the odd one out ) and also some codings like ( ALPHA z coded as BETAH , DELTA z coded as GAMMA, then how z ETA coded ? .. this one .. i have framed it :) ) . This part z a bit difficult one. So, my advice z don't think much about these. Along with above two categories, there shall be PUZZLES in this section.In the

recent paper i attended,i got the following questions. 1.Volume of a LARGE SPHERE z ( pi * # ) .Area of it z ( pi * & ) where '#,&' r four digit integers.What z the value of the radius ? ( Along with answer , v have to write approach). answer: may be 22 2.In howmany ways can a rectangle can be cut into 4 equal parts. 3.Given 1,2,3,25,50,75 and 100 .. Using each number "one and only once" and using arithmetic operators, write 383 in terms of the above given numbers. answer: 383 = ( 100 + 2 ) * 3 + 75 + ( (50 * 1)/2 ) 4.A tougher question of above. given 1,2,25,50,75,100 .. write 383 in terms of the given numbers. 5.Given following sequence,find the how the sequence is generated. 2 -> 1,4,9,6,5,6,9,4,1,0 3 -> 1,8,7,4,5,6,3,2,9,0 4 -> 1,6,1,6,5,6,1,6,1,0 answer : the sequences r nothing but the UNIT digits of square(x),cube(x),power4(x) where x = [ 1 ... 10 ] 6.Knights always tell TRUTH.Knaves always tell LIE.U r a foreigner to that place and U have met a person and he replies "I am a knave " .

What can u infer from his statement. answer : nothing can be infered from his statement. 7. using 4 fours and arithmetic operations write from 1 to 10 3=(4+4+4)/4 4=(4-4)*4+4 5=(4*4+4)/4 6 = 4 + ( 4 + 4 )/4 // 4 + 2 7=(4+4)-(4/4) 8=(4+4)*(4/4) 9=(4+4)+(4/4) 10 = ( 44 - 4 ) / 4 I forget the two more questions. Analytical Writing : This section has two questions only. 1.General topic. ( Don't forget that v have to just write one page only .. not an essay) ( So,write the points directly ) For us they gave topics Is it necessary for to HOST AFROASIAN GAMES ?? Why can't it spend that money for the welfare of poor ?

OR Can India have better results if the current for of govt. is changed to PRESEDENTIAL FORM OF GOVT. ( like USA ) . 2.He gives a highly impossible possible and asks to give a solution.( To check ur innovative ideas :) ) For us, Suppose u have suddenly changed to an ANT.U know human's abilities,but u have forgot their language.How can u make urself to convey ur BELOVED that u have been changed to an ANT. Programming : This section consists of 4 questions.Out of 4, for 3 questions v have to write code.The last question shall be .. they shall give some code and v have to write whether the code is correct one r not .. if not correct , where the modifications show be done and also v have to write what that CODE IS DOING .

Virtusa Placement Papers, 10th Jun 2008 Hi, friends. All the best for your placement in virtusa Virtusa came as oncampus in our college on 10 june-2008 Selection process The test was conducted by merit trac It has 5 sections 1.verbal

2.analytical 3.attention to detail 4.c&datastructures 5.learning ability Verbal 1.fill in the blancks with prepositions.(it is very easy refer any grammar book) 2.reading comprehension Passage will be given and questions will be based on it. Attempt this at the last. The time u save after doing the rest of the part can be used in the reading the passage well. 3. correction of sentenceuse the appropriate option to make the sentence correct. ( if u know the correct usage of articles and it will be easy) Analytical 2 questions were similar to the puzzle test in R.S Agrawal(verbal and non verbal) 5 questions were asked on the cube I dont remember more in this section Its more time consuming.so manage the time. Attention to detail 10 questions r very simple . just by looking carefully at the options u get the answer mathematical operations refer to the mathematical operations in verbal resoning by R.S.Agrawal if * stands for 0 and $ stands for 1 and the $ value gets twiced when it is moved to left 5 questions were asked upon this data. Eg: the value of 625 Options were like $$$*** $$*$* and so on C and data structures (40 questions in 40 min) This is very important .They see the minimum qualifing mark in this round So be careful Mostly data structures were asked. Program was given and output was asked. And also the options contained the code for the program(inserting a node.)

And some c basics. Learning ability A passage will be given to read for 15 minutes and the papers will be taken away Then 10 questions will be asked based on it. Main points Read the passage well See the figure numbers correctly They ask question by just giving the figure no. And also the calculations may also be asked. The results were declared and I cleared the round Technical interview The techinal interviewer asked me to write few programs on c And he almost asked all the topics like Operation systems Information security- authentication,authourisation DBMS Data structures Java Prepare well for all the topics HR Its very simple. Just be franck,honest. The questions were very simple Finally I got placed in virtusa Hope u get some help with my experience.

The first part was vocabulary. It contained sentence completion with prepositions and that kind of stuff, then the reading comprehensions. Basic English knowledge is enough. But better to prepare for most frequent words in barrons. To be frankly told I didnt prepare but u will have better idea if u prepare. It has 45 questions for 30 minutes. Then the Quantitative part, It was basic maths containing logical questions. Prepare R.S Agarwal. It has 30 questions for 30 minutes. Then comes the critical reasoning section. It was ok. No need to prepare much for this. I didnt know that these many sections were there till I attended the test. Then the technical test, It contains all the CSE subjects like? C , C++, Java, Data Structures, Operating Systems, RDBMS. All the sections are multiple choice. The C programs were very tough, related to pointers. It has 45 Questions for 30 minutes. Time management is critical here Finally the learning ability test, Where 2 pages are given. First all the stuff has to be read for 20 minutes. After u read that, then they will take back the paper and give u a question paper containing 10 questions .Answer those questions by remembering what u have read. It was for 10 minutes. It was regarding Pentium 4 and its pipelining. It was easy when compared to other questions.? After 4 Days they informed me by mail that I was selected. Out of 1200 members they selected 120 members. After that there was a GD. The topic wasShould women have dress code in colleges and offices. I was the only one in the group who opposed the topic in a batch of 10. So I have to talk a lot regarding the matter. I told we have dress codes in schools so as not to distinguish between the rich and poor but after entering the college level they will be more mature and staying in a democratic country where everyone has the right to speak and express their feelings, imposing constraints on women is not at all fare.
