Question

    Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below. Eight ice creams boxes viz. Cherry, Cake batter, Bubblegum, Mango, Orange, Lucuma, Peanut butter and Raspberry are placed one above the other in a single stack, but not necessarily in the same order. The lowermost box is numbered as 1 and the box immediately above it is numbered as 2 and so on. Mango is placed third from the bottom and adjacent to Lucuma. Only three boxes are placed between Lucuma and Peanut butter. The number of boxes below Lucuma is the same as above Bubblegum. Raspberry is placed three boxes below Bubblegum and adjacent to Orange. Cake batter is placed at an odd numbered position but not adjacent to Cherry.

    Which of the following ice cream was placed at box 5?

    A Bubblegum Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Raspberry Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Peanut butter Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
