So, we have, So, only one box is placed between R and P. From statement II alone, N is placed immediately above Q. O is placed three places above N. R is placed two places above P. So, we have So, one box is placed between R and P. From statement III alone, P is placed above M, which is placed two places above Q. O is placed above P. O places above N. So, we have, So, statement III alone is not sufficient to answer. Data given either in statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
