There are seven boxes A, B, C, D, E, F and G, each of a different colour and kept one above the other. The boxes are of different weights. Only two boxes are kept between box A and box C. The pink-coloured box is kept immediately below C. Box A is blue. There is only one box between the pink-coloured box and the black-coloured box. The blue-coloured box is kept above the black-coloured box. Only two boxes are lighter than the blue-coloured box. Only three boxes are kept between the red-coloured box and the black-coloured box. The white-coloured box is heavier than the red-coloured box but just lighter than the black-coloured box. The pink-coloured box is just lighter than the red-coloured box. The black-coloured box is not the heaviest. Only two boxes are kept between F and the red-coloured box. F is lighter than E, which is kept immediately below F. The black-coloured box is just lighter than D. Only one box is kept between E and B. G is kept immediately below the green-coloured box. One of the boxes is yellow.
