Answers :
Directions (1-5):
Box G is placed at one of the even numbered shelf, but not on shelf 6. Three boxes are placed between Box G and Box F.
Box B is placed at one of the odd number shelf but not on immediately below or immediately above of both Box G and F’s shelves.
Case (1) gets cancelled because Box B is not on immediately below or immediately above of both Box G and F’s shelves.
More than three boxes are placed between Box D and Box E. Only one box is placed between Box A and Box H. Box H is not placed adjacent to Box G.
Case (2) gets cancelled because H is not the immediate neighbour of G.
Number of boxes between Box C and Box F is same as Number of boxes between Box F and Box D. Box C is not placed immediately above Box A.
Hence case (3) will be the final arrangement.
