N is two boxes below M.
    A Data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question and data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question and data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Data in statement I and statement II together is necessary to answer the question Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Data in both statement I alone and statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Data neither in statement I alone nor in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From statement I, there are three boxes between L and N. M is two boxes below L. O is above P. O is not the topmost box. Q is neither the topmost box nor the bottommost box. So, either two or four boxes are below Q. From statement II, P is two boxes below O. There are two boxes between L and O. L is above P. N is two boxes below M. Four boxes are below Q. So, data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question and data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
