Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below: Eight boxes A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are placed one above another in a stack, but not necessarily in the same order. Box G is placed three boxes above box H. Two boxes are placed between box F and box B, which is placed immediately above box H. Box F is placed below box H. Box F is not placed at either the topmost or bottommost position. Box E is placed above box B. As many boxes are placed above box E as below box A. Box C is placed above box D. Box C is placed above box H but not at the topmost position. How many boxes are placed between box C and box H? A) One B) Two C) Three D) Four
- One
- Two
- Three
- Four
Correct answer: One
Solution
The clues fix B immediately above H and force G to be three boxes above H. Since F is below H and two boxes are between F and B, the stack becomes tightly constrained. With C above H but not at the top, C is placed one box away from H, so one box lies between them.

- Directions: Study the information carefully and answer the question given below. Six persons stay at different steps of a stair of 40 steps, facing the 40th step. P stays at a step that is a multiple of 9 but above the 20th step. The number of steps ahead of P is the same as the number of steps behind S. There are seven steps between S and Q, and Q is not at an even-numbered position. The number of steps between Q and S is half the number of steps between T and R. The number of steps between R and U is one more than the number of steps behind S. U stays below the 25th step. Both T and U stay somewhere between P and Q. T stays at a step that is a multiple of 7 but above the 15th step. Now, all the persons play a Ludo game and move according to the given conditions: 1.
