Five boxes – A, B, C, D, and E are kept one above the above in a form of a stack

Q. Five boxes – A, B, C, D, and E are kept one above the above in a form of a stack. Each box contains different chocolate viz.- Snickers, Perk, 5-Star, Dairy Milk, and Melody. All the information is not necessary in the same order. Box E is kept exactly between the box which contains Perk and box C, which doesn’t contain Dairy Milk. The box which contains Perk is kept three places above box A, which contains 5-Star. The box which contains Melody is kept immediate below box D. Box E doesn’t contain Melody.

What is the position of the box which contains snickers with respect to box A?

A. Two places above

B. Immediate above

C. three places below

D. Immediately below

E. None of these

Ans: Immediately below

Sol:

Box E is kept exactly between the box which contains Perk and box C, which doesn’t contain Dairy Milk. The box which contains Perk is kept three places above box A, which contains 5-
Star.
That means, in case (1) box which contains perk is kept at the top, and box E is kept immediately below the box which contains perk, in case (2) box which contains perk is kept second from top, and box E is kept immediately below the box
which contains perk, in case (3) box which contains perk is kept at the top, and box E is
kept two places below the box which contains
perk.
Again, we have:
The box which contains Melody is kept
immediate below box D. Box E doesn’t contain
Melody.
That means, in case (3) box E contains Dairy
Milk, and box C contains Snickers, case (1) &
case (2) are not valid.

Based on the above given information we have:

Case (1) & case (2) are not valid as E doesn’t
contain Melody.

Thus, the box which contains Snickers is kept
immediately below box A.
Hence, option D is the correct choice.
Clearly, A sits fourth to the left of G.
Hence, option D is the correct choice.
