How many boxes are placed between P and N?
Stacked Boxes Arrangement
This problem requires determining the order of seven stacked boxes (S, P, L, Q, R, M, N) using given constraints.
Key Constraints and Deductions
- M and L are not top/bottom. 3 boxes between M and L. M above L. This implies M is at 6 and L is at 2. Positions (Top=7, Bottom=1): [?, M, ?, ?, ?, L, ?]
- 2 boxes between L (at 2) and N. N must be above L. N is at 5. Positions: [?, M, N, ?, ?, L, ?]
- R is immediately above S (RS pair). Fits in positions 4 and 3. Positions: [?, M, N, R, S, L, ?]
- 1 box between S (at 3) and Q. Q must be at 1 (L at 2 is between). Positions: [?, M, N, R, S, L, Q]
- The remaining box P must be at the top position (7). Final Arrangement (Top to Bottom): P, M, N, R, S, L, Q
The final arrangement from top (7) to bottom (1) is:
| 7: P |
| 6: M |
| 5: N |
| 4: R |
| 3: S |
| 2: L |
| 1: Q |
Boxes Between P and N
P is at position 7.
N is at position 5.
The box situated between positions 7 and 5 is at position 6.
Box M is at position 6.
Therefore, there is one box between P and N.
