Seven boxes, P, Q, S, T, U, V, and W, are kept one over the other, but not necessarily in the same order. There are exactly two boxes between T and P. Only Q is kept above U. No box is kept below P. S is kept somewhere below W but above V. Based on the given information, which box is kept third above V?
W
To solve this problem, we need to arrange the boxes based on the given conditions. Let's break down the information step-by-step:
- There are seven boxes: P, Q, S, T, U, V, and W. They are stacked one over the other.
- There are exactly two boxes between T and P.
- Only Q is kept above U.
- No box is kept below P, implying P is at the bottom.
- S is kept somewhere below W but above V.
Let's start arranging the boxes from the bottom:
- Since no box is below P, place P at the bottom.
- Based on the first condition, with P at position 7 (bottom), T can be at position 4 (two boxes between T and P).
- Q is the only box above U. Let's tentatively place Q at the top (position 1) and U just below it (position 2).
- This arrangement so far:
- 1. Q
- 2. U
- 3.
- 4. T
- 5.
- 6.
- 7. P
- S has to be below W and above V. Let's consider the remaining boxes: S, V, W.
- Since Q and U occupy positions 1 and 2 respectively, let's place W at position 3, to have room for S below it and above V.
- S will then occupy position 5 and V position 6.
- 1. Q
- 2. U
- 3. W
- 4. T
- 5. S
- 6. V
- 7. P
Now, we determine the box that is third above V:
- V is at position 6. Therefore, the third box above V is at position 3.
- Box W is at position 3.
Therefore, the box that is kept third above V is W.
