    Solution

    Box N is placed in even numbered position. Four boxes are placed between Box R and Box N. Box N is placed above Box R. Only two boxes are placed between the Box T and Box P in which Box P is placed below Box T. Box T is placed in odd numbered position. Box T is not placed above Box N. From above statements, Case 1: If Box N is placed at 8th position and then Box R is placed at 3rd position. Box T is placed at 7th position and Box P is placed at 4thposition. Case 1-M: If Box N is placed at 8th position and then Box R is placed at 3rd position. Box T is placed at 5th position and Box P is placed at 2ndposition. Case 2: If Box N is placed at 6th position and then Box R is placed at 1st position. Box T is placed at 5th position and Box P is placed at 2ndposition. Based on the above information, we get the initial table as follows, Only one box is placed between the Box S and Box Q in which Box Q is placed below Box S. Box R is not placed above Box M. From above statements, Case 1 &2: Based on the above condition, there is no place for Box S and Box Q at m gap of 1 position. Hence, this case becomes invalid and it can be eliminated.
