No two box of same type is kept adjacent to each other. Box C3 doesn’t contain Vivo. Box contains LG is kept at a gap of two boxes from box B2. Box A2, which is neither kept at bottom nor contains Lava, is kept at a gap of three boxes from the one contains Moto. Number of boxes kept below box B1 is one more than the number of boxes above box A1, which doesn’t contain LG. The one contains Vivo is kept third from bottom and is kept adjacent to the box contains Lava. Box contains HTC is kept at any place below one contains Sony.

Explanation

We have:

  • The one contains Vivo is kept third from bottom and is kept adjacent to the box contains Lava. Box D1 doesn’t contain Moto is kept at a gap of three boxes from one contains Lava, that means we have two different possibilities in case (1) box that contains Lava is kept immediate below one contains Vivo and in case (2) box that contains Lava is kept immediate above one contains Vivo.
  • Box B2 contains Nokia is kept at a gap of one box from box D1, which is not kept immediate neighbor of one contains Vivo, that means we have three different possibilities in case (1) box B2 is kept above box D1, in case (2) box B2 is kept at top and in case (3) box B2 is kept below box D1.

Based on theabove given information we have:

Again, we have:

  • Box contains LG is kept at a gap of two boxes from box B2, that means in case (1) that contains LG is kept immediate below box D1, in case (2) box that contains LG is kept immediate below box D1 and in case (3) box that contains LG is kept immediate above box D1.
  • Box A2, which is neither kept at bottom nor contains Lava, is kept at a gap of three boxes from one contains Moto and one contains Moto is neither kept immediately above or below to one contains Lava nor at any place above box B2. Box which contains Apple is kept at a gap of one box from one which contains Moto, that means in case (1) box A2 contains Vivo and one contains Moto is kept immediate below B2, in case (2) box A2 is kept second from bottom and box D1 contains Apple,in case (3) is not valid
  • Based ontheabove given information we get:

In case3, Box which contains Apple is kept at a gap of one box from one which contains Moto and one contains Moto is neither kept immediately above or below to one contains Lava nor at any place above box B2. These conditions are not satisfied so rejected.

Again, we have:

  • No two box of same type is kept adjacent to each other.
  • Box A3, which is neither kept adjacent to one contains LG nor contains Sony, is kept at a gap of three boxes from one which contains Samsung. Box contains Samsung is kept immediate above box D2 and Box C1 is kept at a gap of one box from box that contains Apple, that means case (1) is not valid, in case (2) A3 is kept immediate below B2 and D2 contains Lava
  • Number of boxes kept below box B1 is one more than thenumber of boxes above box A1, which doesn’t contain LG, which means box A1 contains Samsung.

Based on theabove given information we get:

In case1  Box A3, which is neither kept adjacent to one contains LG nor contains Sony, is kept at a gap of three boxes from one which contains Samsung. Box contains Samsung is kept immediate above box D2.  These conditions are not satisfied so rejected.

Again, we have:

  • Neither A2 nor C3 contains Lenovo.
  • Box C3 doesn’t contain Vivo, which means box C3 is kept at bottom. Box contains HTC is kept at any place below one contains Sony, that box C3 contains HTC and A2 contains Sony.

Based on theabove given information final arrangement is as follow:

1) Answer: D

2) Answer: A

3) Answer: D

4) Answer: B

5) Answer: C
