AA0 Exam-CT 9: Reasoning (Puzzle - Box)

Eight boxes namely H to O are placed in a rack one above the other.

1. Three boxes are between the box O and the box M but the box O is above the box M.

Here we have four cases according to this Condition.

2. Box L is immediate above the box N but below the box M.

(Case III and Case IV not follows because in the question given box L and box N are below the box M but it is not possible in these cases) 

Case I Splits into one more case i.e. Case I(a)

3. Four boxes are between the box L and the box J.

(Case I(a) and Case II not follows because in the question given Four boxes are between the box L and the box J but it is not possible in these cases)

4. Box K is above the box M and below the box J.

Again case I Splits into two more cases i.e. Case I and Case II 

5. Box I is below the box K and above the box L.

Again case II Splits into one more case i.e. case II(a)

6. Two boxes are between the box I and the box H.

(Case II and Case II(a) not follows because in the question given Two boxes are between the box I and the box H but it is not possible in these cases)

Here

1. Box O and Box J - Box O is above the Box J

2. Box K and Box M - Box K is above the Box M

3. Box I and Box L - Box I is above the Box L

4. Box H and Box K - Box H is above the Box K

5. Box N and Box L - Box N is below the Box L(so it does not belong to the group)

Hence, Box N and Box L does not belong to the group.

Boxes: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I.

1. Only five boxes are placed between H and I.

2. D is placed immediately above I.

3. Only three boxes are placed between C and D.

4. As many boxes between C and H, as between D and G.

5. F is placed below G but not at the bottom.

6. More than four boxes are placed between D and F. So, Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3 is eliminated.

7. One box is placed between F and E.

8. Box G is placed above A.

The final arrangement is,

Hence, Box A is placed three places below B.
