2011 Virtusa Placement Paper:-

Directions (1-8): Each of the following questions is based on a set of facts. Choose the
correct answer in each case.

1. The workers union of Grain Corp, a grain-processing plant, is attempting to obtain a pay
raise from Grian Corp management. To pressurize the Graincorp management into accepting
the union's proposal, the president of the union has proposed a boycott against Square Mart
food stores, which are owned by Mega Food, the parent company of the GrainCorp.
The answer to which of the following is LEAST directly relevant to the union president's
consideration of whether a boycott of Square Mart will lead to acceptance of their pay rate
proposal?

(1) Are the staple food products purchased by the consumers at Square Mart stores readily
available at other stores not owned by Mega Food?
(2) Would the loss of business at Square Mart stores materially affect Mega Food?
(3) How many Square Marts are within the region of the GrainCorp plant?
(4) Is Mega Food the only corporation that operates both grain-processing plants and Stores?

2. The owner of a four-story commercial building discovered termites in the building's first
and second floors and called an exterminator. The exterminator pumped gar into the walls on
both the first and second floors. Due to the exterminator's work the termites on those floors
were killed quickly.
Which of the following if true, most seriously undermines the validity of the explanation for
the speed with which the termites were killed?

(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.
(2) The defects in the merchandise are not so significant that customers will be unwilling to
pay even the sale price.
(3) Too few shoppers purchase merchandise at full retail price.
(4) If these sales become popular, then stores will have to have them more after.

6. “Some me are certainly intelligent, others are certainly not intelligent, but of intermediate
men, we should say, 'intelligent'? Yes. I think so, or no, I shouldn't be inclined to call him
intelligent.”
Which of the following most accurately reflects the intention of writer of the above?

(1) Every empirical concept has a degree of vagueness.

(2) To call men intelligent who are not strikingly so much be to use the concept with undue
imprecision.
(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 group’s goals and
activities.
Each of the following, if true, either providers support for or cannot weaken the sociologists'
