 10 Days Instructions to Crack Infy
(Most Popular exercise by many infians)
Important Rule: YOU must forget all your previous failures and
start a fresh with firm determination and enthusiasm. Once you do
this, Cracking Infy becomes easy.
DAY 1:
Start off with Puzzles to Puzzle you - Shakuntala Devi and finish as mush as possible. Decide to only finish
the book and call the day off. Note down the sums which you are not able to solve or need the answers to
solve and keep this list safely. After you go through the whole book, go back to these questions and just
check out the way they are solved. Sometimes they will not be explained. In this case you have no choice
but to leave them. But some sums will have some funny explanations.Just remember the way or the
method
DAY 2:
Now take a break off from Shakuntala Devi and then start Verbal Reasoning - R.S Agarwal . In this you
just have to do the Puzzle Test Chapter fully, and have a look at the Number, Ranking and Sequence Test
chapter. I contains fully George Sammers type question on easier scale but you would be able to
understand the basic logic of solving George Sammers type questions. Finish off the whole book during
the second day. There is just one or two methods to solve these sort of questions and the explanation is
very clear. Once you get the method, you can solve all the puzzles in this, but just in case do go through
all the puzzles. There have been puzzles in previous papers from here. Once you get the method well,
there will not be any revision necessary in this book. But you will have to concentrate on the method.
DAY 3:

Now back to More Puzzles - Shakuntala Dei and follow the same procedure you followed for the first book.

DAY 4 & DAY 5:

Get your George Sammers book and start off solving the puzzles. The first half is kind of easy, but dont be
worried if you r not able to solve much. Even one or two is enough. The Rest, you just have to use the
scheme and the solutions and then understand the puzzle thoroughly. Many papers have similar sums
with the names changed. Try to finish the first half in a day. And start off the second half. The second half
is relatively tougher, and it will be very confusing. Just try to solve some. The second half, even the
solutions will confuse you more. So just solve as many as you can. The rest you can make use of the
solutions. If they are too complex, leave them aside. Note down all sums you could not solve or could
solve only using the solutions and list them. When you are through the whole book, just revise all the
sums, giving preference to the ones that you have listed. It si okay even if you sit with George Sammers
for three days. But you must fully be able to understand all the question in the First part. The second part
at least maybe few sums are optional.
DAY 6:
Take your quantitative Aptitude book by R.S Agarwal and work out the following chapters fully. Note down
tough sums and their solutions and come back to solve thme and revise them . The chapters to be done
are :
(1) Time and Distance (very important)
(2) Time and Work
(3) Pipes and Cisterns
(4) Trains
(5) Boats

DAY 7 :
Revise Shakuntala Devi book-1 and revise it well. Not necessary to work out the problems. Just check if
your method is correct. The sums you have listed, give them extra importance. By the end of this day ,
you must Shakuntala Devi book-1(Puzzles to Puzzle you ) on your finger tips.

DAY 8 :
Revise the book-2 of Shakuntala Devi , just how you revised the first book.End of this day you should
have both Shakuntala devi books at your finger tips.

DAY 9 :
Revise George Sammers, such that you can easily solve the whole first part . The second part , leave ii , if
it is tough.

DAY 10 :
Check out Ravi Narula. The sums are very tough . It will be enough if you just c the solutions and
understand them . Some sums are asked in some papers.( There is one questin abt some ANYMAN
reaching ANYWHERE. His tyre gets punctured and he reaches late.If his tyre got punctured earlier / later
then he would have reached earlier/later. How far did he travel..soemthing like that).that is form this book
. Many papers have this sum repeated. But the names are changed. Ravi Narula is just optional, but I
suggest that you go through all sums and their solution atleast once.Dont take too much time on Ravi
Narula. Just three or four hours would be sufficient.
