Answers:

Directions (1-5):

We have:

  • At most two boxes are kept below the box wrapped with Green paper.
  • The box having Fig is kept just below the box wrapped with Green Paper, that means we have two possible place for the box wrapped with Green paper, in case (1) the box wrapped with Green paper is kept third from bottom, in case (2) the box wrapped with Green paper is kept second from bottom.
  • The box wrapped with Green paper is kept at a gap of two boxes from the box having Guava.
  • Box B31 having Guava is kept just below Metal box marked 121.
  • Since, only seventeen possible square and cube number between 2-200 i.e. – 4, 8, 9, 16, 25, 27, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 125, 144, 169 & 196.
  • As, only four possible numbers greater than 121, thus boxes are kept in descending order from top to bottom.
  • The box wrapped with White paper is marked with cube number and is kept at a gap of one box below B31, since boxes are kept in descending order, thus box wrapped white must be kept below box B31 and only two possible cube number is possible out of 8, 27 & 64, that means in case (1a)& case (2a)box wrapped white is marked as 27, in case (1b) & case (2b) Box wrapped White is marked 64.

Based on above given information we have:

Again, we have:

  • Box having Mango is kept at a gap of three boxes above box B11, which neither contains Fig nor wrapped with White paper.
  • Box B11 is kept just above the box having Grapes, since box B11 is from plastic category, thus box B11 is kept just below box B31.
  • Three boxes are kept between the box wrapped with Pink and the box marked 64.
  • The box marked Pink is neither contains Fig nor contains Mango, that means in case (1a) the box marked Pink is kept at bottom, in case (2a) the box marked Pink is kept at top, in case (1b) & case (2b) the box wrapped with Pink paper is kept just below the box having Mango.
  • One box is kept between box wrapped Brown and box B22, which is neither marked 121 nor wrapped with White paper.
  • The box wrapped in Brown paper is neither is neither kept adjacent to box marked 64 nor adjacent to box having Grapes.
  • Box B22 is kept at a gap of two boxes from the box marked 81, which is kept just above the box wrapped with Cyan paper, that means in case (1a) Box B22 contains Mango, and case (1b), case (2a) & case (2b) are not valid.

Based on above given information we have:

Case (2a) is not valid as no box available to mark 81, case (1b) & case (2b) are not valid as between 64 and 81 no any number is possible which is either perfect cube or perfect square.

Again, we have:

  • Two boxes are kept between the box having Cheery and the box B21, which is not kept at bottom, since no two boxes of same type is kept together, that means in case (1a) Box B21 is kept second from top and box B11 contains Cheery, in case (1c) Box B21 is kept second from bottom and box B11 contains Cheery.
  • Three boxes are kept between the box wrapped with Blue paper and plastic box, which is kept adjacent to the box marked 8, that means in case (1a) box B31 is wrapped with Blue paper and pink box is marked 8, in case (1c) box B21 is wrapped with Blue paper and pink box is marked 8.
  • One box is kept between box B13 and box B10, that means in case (1a) Box B10 is wrapped with white paper and case (1c) is not valid.
  • No box is marked as 9, that means box B13 must be marked as 16 and box having Lemon is marked as 25.

Based on above given information we have:

Case (1c) is not valid as one box is kept between box B13 and box B10.

Again, we have:

  • Box wrapped with Black paper is marked with cube number, since only remaining possible cube number between 2-200 is 125, thus B21 must be wrapped with Black color.
  • Box wrapped with Red paper is marked as 169, thus B22 is wrapped with Red paper.
  • Box having Berry and the box wrapped with Yellow paper are kept together, that means B13 wrapped with Yellow paper.
  • At most four boxes are kept between the box having Banana and the box B01, which doesn’t contain Papaya.
  • No metal box contains Banana, that means box B21 must having Banana and B01 Wrapped with Green paper and contains Lemon.
  • Lemon is kept at one of the position below Box containing Banana. B01 does not contain Berry or Papaya.
