Seven boxes E, F, G, H, S, T and U are kept one over the other but not necessarily in themsame order. No box is kept above E. Only three boxes are kept between E and U. Only one box is kept between G and H. H is kept immediately above U. Only four boxes are kept between G and F. T is kept at some place above S. Which box is kept second below T?

The correct answer is
U

To solve the problem, we need to arrange the boxes E, F, G, H, S, T, and U based on the given conditions. Let's go step by step:

  1. No box is kept above E.
  2. Only three boxes are kept between E and U. This means if E is at position 1, U can be at position 5.
  3. H is kept immediately above U. If U is at position 5, H must be at position 4.
  4. Only one box is kept between G and H. If H is at position 4, G must be at position 2.
  5. Only four boxes are kept between G and F. Since G is at position 2, F must be at position 7.
  6. T is kept at some place above S.

Based on these conditions, let's list the positions:

  • Position 1: E
  • Position 2: G
  • Position 3: (Open, could be T or S)
  • Position 4: H
  • Position 5: U
  • Position 6: (Open, could be T or S)
  • Position 7: F

To satisfy the condition that T is above S, T must be at position 3 and S at position 6. Thus, the final arrangement from top to bottom is:

  • Position 1: E
  • Position 2: G
  • Position 3: T
  • Position 4: H
  • Position 5: U
  • Position 6: S
  • Position 7: F

Now, according to the question, we need to identify the box that is second below T. Based on the arrangement:

  • Position 3: T
  • Second below T (Position 5): U

Therefore, the box that is kept second below T is U.
