Seven boxes, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order. Only C is kept above D. Only two boxes are kept between D and F. Only G is kept below A. B is not kept immediately above F. Which box is kept fourth from the top?
E
To solve this problem, we need to arrange the boxes based on the given conditions:
- Only C is kept above D.
- Two boxes are kept between D and F.
- Only G is kept below A.
- B is not kept immediately above F.
Let's analyze step by step:
- Since only C is above D, place C directly above D.
- Two boxes must be between D and F. This means the sequence can either be:
- C, D, X, X, F
- or F at a higher position considering their flexibility.
- The condition states only G is below A. Therefore, A must be the second from the bottom, and G must be at the bottom. Hence, A and G's position is fixed towards the bottom.
- With B not directly above F, we can opt for a sequence that respects as many conditions as possible while keeping possible top positions flexible.
Let's try:
Possible arrangement satisfying conditions: G is at position 7, A at position 6. Now consider the sequence for other boxes:
- C is above D, assumed positions D (pos 1), C (pos 2) are incorrect due to X box requirement.
- Their likely arrangement can be more optimal with general restrictions: C is at pos 1, D at pos 2. And B, E settles at positions above G and A.
- Place B and E at positions 3 and 4 due to general restrictions, B needs to not immediately be above F.
- Other remaining option trails: F occupies logical gap (5 position) to finish required details without contradiction in setup.
- Transition all steps to final actual setup. So: check G position in resolved order provides fully showcase box arrangement.
The sequence best fitting all conditions is:
C (pos 1)
D (pos 2)
B (pos 3)
E (pos 4) — Indicating the fourth from top is E
F (pos 5)
A (pos 6)
G (pos 7) — Completion per constraints.
Therefore, the box kept fourth from the top is E.
