Only three boxes are kept between D and C. Box A, which is not kept adjacent to box B, is kept at any place above box G. Statement II: Only three boxes are kept between box F and A, which is kept second from top. Box B, which is neither kept adjacent to box A nor box F, is kept just below box C. Only three boxes are kept between box D and box C. Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question:
    A If the data in Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B If the data in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C If the data either in Statement I alone or in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D If the data in both the Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E If the data in both the Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    We have: From Statement I: We have:  Box C is kept third from top. Only three boxes are kept between D and C, that means box D is kept at bottom. Box D and F are kept together, that means box F is kept second from bottom.Box E, which is neither kept adjacent to box F nor box C, that means box E is kept at top.  Box A, which is not kept adjacent to box B, is kept at any place above box G, that means box A is kept just below box E. Based on above given information we have Clearly, we don’t know exact position of box G. Hence, statement I is not sufficient. From Statement II: We have: Only three boxes are kept between box F and A, which is kept second from top, that means box F is kept second from bottom. Box B, which is neither kept adjacent to box A nor box F, is kept just below box C, that means box C is kept just below box A.  Only three boxes are kept between box D and box C, that means box D is kept at bottom. Based on above given information we have Clearly, only two boxes are kept below box G. Hence, statement I and II together sufficient.
