Explanation :

We have,

  • Box S and box V are kept adjacent to each other.

From the above condition, there are two possibilities

Again we have,

  • Only one box is kept between box S and box U.
  • Box U is kept four boxes above box R.

Again we have,

  • Only two boxes are kept between box R and box Y.

Again we have,

  • As many boxes are kept between X and V as between Y and X which is kept immediately above box T.

So Case 1 and Case 2a get eliminated

Again we have,

  • Box Z is kept two boxes above box W.

Hence Case2 shows the final arrangement

1) Answer: D

2) Answer: C (First box is kept three boxes above the second box except option C)

3) Answer: D

4) Answer: A

5) Answer: D
