Seven boxes, A, B, C, D, E, F and Y, are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order. Only D is kept above F. Only three boxes are kept between D and A. Only B is kept below E. Y is not kept immediately above A. How many boxes are kept between C and B?

सात बॉक्स,A, B, C, D, E, F और Y, एक के ऊपर एक रखे गए हैं, लेकिन ज़रूरी नहीं कि इसी क्रम में हों। F के ऊपर केवल D रखा गया है। D और A के बीच केवल तीन बॉक्स रखे गए हैं। E के नीचे केवल B, रखा गया है। Y, A के ठीक ऊपर नहीं रखा गया है। C और B के बीच कितने बॉक्स रखे गए हैं?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Two/ दो
Let the positions be from top (1) to bottom (7).
Step 1: Interpret the statements
- “Only D is kept above F” ⟶ D is immediately above F.
- “Only B is kept below E” ⟶ E is immediately above B.
- “Three boxes are kept between D and A” ⟶ positions of D and A differ by 4.
- Y is not immediately above A.
Step 2: Fix D and F
Place D at position 1 and F at position 2 (since D is immediately above F).
Then A must be 4 positions away from D:
- A at position 5.
Step 3: Place E and B
Since E must be immediately above B, the only consistent placement is:
- E at position 6
- B at position 7
Step 4: Remaining boxes
Remaining positions 3 and 4 are for C and Y.
Also, Y is not immediately above A (position 4), so:
- Position 4 = C
- Position 3 = Y
Final arrangement:
- D
- F
- Y
- C
- A
- E
- B
Step 5: Count boxes between C and B
- C is at position 4
- B is at position 7
Boxes between them: positions 5 and 6 → 2 boxes
Final Answer: Two / दो
