Seven boxes, A, B, C, D, E, F and G, are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order. C is kept immediately above F. G is kept immediately above B. Only E is kept above D. Only two boxes are kept above C. G is not kept in third position from the bottom. How many boxes are kept above G?

Correct Answer

5

Positional Clues: Let the positions be 1 to 7 from top to bottom. 'Only E is kept above D' means E is at position 1 and D is at position 2. 'Only two boxes are ......

💡 Analysis & Explanation

Positional Clues ▼

Let the positions be 1 to 7 from top to bottom. 'Only E is kept above D' means E is at position 1 and D is at position 2. 'Only two boxes are kept above C' means C is at position 3. 'C is kept immediately above F' places F at position 4. So the top 4 are E, D, C, F.

Placing Remaining Boxes ▼

The remaining positions are 5, 6, 7. We have the pair G immediately above B, which takes two consecutive spots. It can be at (5,6) or (6,7). 'G is not kept in third position from the bottom' means G is not at position 5 (since 7,6,5 makes 5 the 3rd from bottom). Therefore, G must be at position 6 and B at position 7. This leaves box A at position 5.

Final Count ▼

The final arrangement from top to bottom is E, D, C, F, A, G, B. G is at position 6, which means there are 5 boxes (E, D, C, F, A) kept above it.

Conclusion ▼

Exactly 5 boxes are kept above box G.
