Two boxes are kept between Box T and Box L. Neither Box T nor Box L is at bottom or top of the arrangement.
Three boxes are kept between Box P and the box which contains square number of chocolates in it. Neither Box L nor Box T contains exact square number of chocolate. Box P is not kept between Box T and Box L. Box P is kept below the box which contains exact number of chocolate.
Box Q contains half of the number of chocolates contains in Box T. Box R contains 5 chocolate more than Box Q. Box F contains prime number of chocolates, above 30.
F=31.
T=2Q; R=5+Q;
There are two cases:
Case 1: Q=10, T=20, R=15
Case 2: Q=20, T=40, R=25
Difference between Box R and Box L contains more than 5 but less than 10 chocolates.
If we compare the difference between Box R and Box L, only case 1 is possible.
So,
R=15 and L=23, only case 1 is possible.
Box Q is kept two places above Box R. Box R is not kept at the bottom. Box M is kept just above Box F. Box M is not kept at top.
Case 1(a) and 1(b) will be dropped because Box M is not kept at top.
Box P contains odd number of chocolate. The box which contains highest number of chocolate is not kept at top. Box L does not kept below the Box N.
Case 2(a) will be dropped because the box which contains highest number of chocolate is not kept at top.
