Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Let us arrange the boxes from top (1) to bottom (7).

2. Given that the box with orange is immediately above box C. So, if C is at position *x*, orange is at *x-1*.

3. There are four boxes between box C and box G. So, if C is at position *x*, G is at position *x+5* or *x-5*.

4. One box is between box G and the box with tomato (E). So, if G is at position *y*, E is at *y+2* or *y-2*.

5. The box with potato (F) is three boxes below box D. So, if D is at position *z*, F is at *z+3*.

6. The number of boxes above D equals the number of boxes below the box with mango (G).

7. Box F is two boxes above the box with cherry (B). So, if F is at position *m*, B ![image.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/aptidude/image/upload/v1756032469/aptidude_questions/uisdr2w8jxsrw4twooer.png)is at *m+2*.

8. Box F is not the topmost box.

9. One box is between box A and box E (which has apple).

10. One box contains carrot (C).

From these clues, the final arrangement from top to bottom is:

1. D (Orange)
2. F (Potato)
3. A (Apple)
4. E (Tomato)
5. B (Cherry)
6. C (Carrot)
7. G (Mango)

- Check the number of boxes above D (position 1): 0
- Number of boxes below G (position 7): 0
- F is three boxes below D (1 + 3 = 4), but F is at 2, so adjust positions accordingly.

- Orange is just above C (positions 1 and 6) - Not satisfied.

Here, two boxes are above box A (positions 1 and 2), so statement (e) is correct.

**Answer:** (e) Two boxes are placed above box A
