Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the q...
Following the final solution we can say that of all the given options Y is the only envelope which has 56 pages.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Common Explanation:
Reference:
Six envelopes – A, B, C, X, Y, and Z are placed one above another, each containing different number of pages – 20, 29, 36, 43, 56 and 60 (but not necessarily in the same order) and envelopes were containing  notes of different subjects – Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English, Hindi, and Computer (but not necessarily in the same order).
Inference:
We will keep this information in mind while solving the puzzle.
Reference:
Only three envelopes are placed between envelopes A and X, which has odd number of pages.
At least two envelopes are placed below A, which has odd number of pages.
The envelope which is placed just above X has notes of Hindi.
Inference:
At this point there are two possible scenarios in which the above hints can be used accordingly.
Case 1:

Case 2:

Here, we will make a mental note that both envelopes A and X have odd number of pages.
Reference:
Only one envelope is placed between X and B, which has notes of Chemistry.
Envelope Y has notes of Physics and isn’t place adjacent to envelope B, but placed one of the envelopes above envelope B.
Inference:
At this point we cannot use the second hint in case 1 so we can say that case 1 is an invalid case.
Case 2:

Reference:
The envelope which is placed at top has 17 pages more than envelope X.
Envelope Z has notes of the subject which is not Hindi.
Inference:
As we already know that both envelopes A and X have odd number of pages and with the information we can draw following conclusions:
Conclusion 1: 
Pages in envelope X + 17 = Pages in envelope Y
Now, we have two possible scenarios in which envelope X can have odd number of pages.
Scenario 1:
Envelope X has 29 pages.
This means, pages in envelope Y = 29 + 17 = 46 (from conclusion 1)
It is not possible because none of the envelopes has 46 pages.
Scenario 1:
Envelope X has 43 pages.
This means, pages in envelope Y = 43 + 17 = 60 (from conclusion 1)
It might be possible.
Case 2:

Here, we can say that envelope C has notes of Hindi.
Reference:
Envelope which has notes of English has 36 pages.
Envelope X has notes of the subject which is not Computer and envelope C doesn’t have 56 pages.
Inference:
Using the above hints case 2 can be redrawn as:
Case 2:

At this we can say that envelope X has notes of Mathematics and envelope C has 20 pages.
Case 2:
