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

The correct answer is
3

Solution
Step-by-Step Arrangement

Step 1: Only A is kept above D (A is immediately above D)

A = D - 1

Step 2: Only four boxes are between D and F

So, |D - F| = 5

Possible valid case: D = 2, A = 1, F = 7

Step 3: Only two boxes are between C and G

So, |C - G| = 3

Possible positions left: 3, 4, 5, 6

So, C = 3 and G = 6

Step 4: Remaining positions for E and B

E is immediately above B

So, E = 4 and B = 5

Final Arrangement (Top to Bottom)

  1. A
  2. D
  3. C
  4. E
  5. B
  6. G
  7. F

Question: How many boxes are below E?
E is at position 4

Boxes below E: B, G, F
Final Answer: 3 Boxes
