    Solution

    Only two boxes are placed above box P. Only one box is placed between box S and P. Three boxes are placed between box N and O. N is placed above O. As many as boxes are placed between box S and Q as between box Q and M. Clearly, we can’t place S, Q and M fulfilling the given condition in Case 2.
