From condition (4): K is placed in shelve no 16 From condition (3): D, E and F are placed after all Biscuits and Candies. So, D, E, F and K are savouries and placed at position 13, 14, 15 and 16.
From condition (1, 2 and 5) : A and B are placed in consecutive number, So are of same type, like that I and J of same type. Again L and J are of same type, different from type of H.
From condition (6) : C is a candy. Number of candies are three and that are C, G and H Thus, A, B, I, J and L are biscuits.
Combining all conditions, we get
Biscuits : A, B, I, J and L.
Candy : C, G and H.
Savouries : D, E, F and K.
As L is preceded by one empty shelve and C is preceded by two empty shelves. So, possible arrangement of biscuits are L A B I J or LABJI. and possible arrangement of candies are C G H or C H G.
Let the income of Bimala be ₹100 Then Amla’s income = 1.2 × 100 = ₹120 and arrangement of savouries are D, E, F, K at position 13, 14, 15, 16 Now, one of the possible arrangement of 12 items in 16 shelves position are like this :
In the given arrangement number of shelve between B and C = 4
There is other way of arrangement in which ‘C’ is at position ‘3’ and ‘B’ is at position ‘9‘
Then number of shelves between B and C = 5.
