By these conditions one more case added in case- 1. So new arrangement will be – Only one box is placed between box N and box E in the same column. Box K is placed immediately below box F. By this condition case- 1a is cancelled. Box B is not placed in same column with box E. Box D is not placed at bottom of any of the column. So final arrangement will be-
