Box J is placed in the seventh rack and Box H is placed adjacent to Box J.
Box J is White colored.
Box H is placed in the even numbered rack above fourth and it is placed adjacent to box which has serial number as 31.
Box J’s serial number is not 27.
Inferences:
From above statements,
First 2 statements can be directly filled in the table as shown.
Box J is White colored and it is placed in the 7th rack (reference points 3 & 4)
Box H can be placed either 8th or 6th floor (above 4th floor & adjacent to 7th floor). Thus we get two possibilities (reference points 3 & 5)
Case-1: Box H is placed in the 8th rack and Box J’s serial number is 31 as per statement.
Case-2: Box H is placed in the 6th rack and either Box J’s serial number is 31 or the box which is placed in 5th rack is serial numbered as 31 as per statement.

Detailed Solution for MCQ Test: Box Based Puzzle - 1 - Question 5

Following the common explanations, we get “Box K is placed in 5th rack & Box J (serial number is 23) is placed in 7th rack i.e. odd number combination”.
Remaining 4 combinations are even numbered combinations.
Hence, option E is correct.
Final table:

Common Explanation
References:
Box N’s serial number is 21 and placed in the lowermost rack.
Two boxes are placed between the boxes having the serial number 21 and 34.
Box J is placed in the seventh rack and Box H is placed adjacent to Box J.
Box J is White colored.
Box H is placed in the even numbered rack above fourth and it is placed adjacent to box which has serial number as 31.
Box J’s serial number is not 27.
Inferences:
From above statements,
First 2 statements can be directly filled in the table as shown.
Box J is White colored and it is placed in the 7th rack (reference points 3 & 4)
Box H can be placed either 8th or 6th floor (above 4th floor & adjacent to 7th floor). Thus we get two possibilities (reference points 3 & 5)
Case-1: Box H is placed in the 8th rack and Box J’s serial number is 31 as per statement.
Case-2: Box H is placed in the 6th rack and either Box J’s serial number is 31 or the box which is placed in 5th rack is serial numbered as 31 as per statement.
Note: Box J’s serial number is not 27.
By using above information, we get the following table as shown,

References:
Maximum numbers of boxes are placed between the Brown colored box and Orange colored box.
Box L is Green colored and it is placed adjacent to the Orange colored box.
Box H is not Brown colored.
Inferences:
From above statements,
With respect to the 1st reference point, Brown and Orange colored box is placed in topmost and lowermost rack (not necessarily in the same order). By this 6 boxes (maximum possibility) can be placed between Brown and Orange colored box.
We know, Box J is White colored and it is placed in the 7th rack. So Orange colored box can’t be place at 8th rack since Orange colored box is placed adjacent to Green colored box (Box L). Therefore Brown colored box is placed at 8th rack (topmost) and Orange colored box is placed at 1st rack (lowermost) i.e. Box N as per table in both cases (reference point 2)
Box L is Green colored and it is placed in 2nd rack in both cases (reference point 2)
By using 3rd reference point Case-1 gets eliminated since Box H is not Brown colored.
By using above information, we get the following table as shown,

References:

Red colored box is placed in the 4th rack (reference points 1, 2 and 3 gets satisfied). Now, Box O is placed in 8th rack (only possibility) and its serial number is 19 (reference point 4 satisfied)
Case-2-A: Here, Box M is Yellow colored and it must be placed in 5th rack and the box which has serial numbered as 23 is placed in 8th rack (only possibility) (two boxes are placed between Box M and the box which has serial number as 23). Red colored box is placed either in the 4th rack or 6th rack (reference points 1, 2 and 3 gets satisfied). Now there is no place for Box O (serial number is 19). Hence this case become invalid and it can be eliminated.

Case-2-B: Here, Box O is placed in 8th rack (only possibility) and its serial number is 19 (reference point 4 satisfied). Now, Box M is Yellow colored and it must be placed in 4th rack and the box which has serial numbered as 23 is placed in 7th rack (only possibility) i.e. Box J as per table (two boxes are placed between Box M and Box J (serial number 23)).

There are six friends namely Arnav, Ayaan, Reyansh, Dhruv, Krishna and Ishaan.
Each of them is having different years in working experience among 3, 4, 6, 8, 11 and 12 but not necessarily in the same order.
Reyansh, who works in Microsoft, has 4 years experience more than that of Ayaan.
Dhruv, who works in Google, has 1 year experience more than that of Arnav.
Inferences
From above statements,

  • Reyansh’s experience = Ayaan’s experience + 4 years
  • Among given numbers there are two possibilities i.e. (4, 8) or (8, 12)
  • Reyansh’s experience = 8 years and Ayaan’s experience = 4 years [OR] Reyansh’s experience = 12 years and Ayaan’s experience = 8 years.
  • Reyansh works in Microsoft and Dhruv works in Google.
  • Dhruv’s experience = Arnav’s experience + 1 years
  • Case: 1, Dhruv’s experience = 12 years and Arnav’s experience = 11 years (Only possibility)
  • Case: 2, Dhruv’s experience = 4 years and Arnav’s experience = 3 years (Only possibility)

By using above information, we get the initial table as follows,

References
The difference between the number of years in experience of the person who works in HCL and Ishaan, who works in CTS, is 2.
