Question

    Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below. Ten boxes viz. D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L and M were placed one above the other in two different stacks viz. Stack Y and Stack Z, but not necessarily in the same order. Stack Y is to the west of Stack Z. Box G was placed three boxes above box H which is neither placed at stack Z nor in the same stack as box G. Box I was placed two boxes above box H in the same stack. Equal number of boxes was placed above and below box M which is placed at stack Z. Box F was placed below Box M but not in the same stack. Box D was placed two boxes above box F and immediately below box L, which is placed to the west of box J. Box K was not placed at the bottommost position.

    Four of the following five are alike in a certain way and hence form a group. Find the one that doesn’t belong to that group. 

    A L Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    LOGIC: Only Box G out of the other given options is placed on Even positioned rack. Box G was placed three boxes above box H which is neither placed at stack Z nor in the same stack as box G. Box I was placed two boxes above box H in the same stack. Box D was placed two boxes above box F and immediately below box L, which is placed to the west of box J. Box K was not placed at the bottommost position. Hence, case 2 gets eliminated.
