Question 1

Six boxes A, B, C, D, E, and F are arranged in a rack with 2 rows and 3 columns. Row 1 (top): Positions 1, 2, 3 (left to right) Row 2 (bottom): Positions 4, 5, 6 (left to right) Conditions: - Box A is in Row 1 - Box B is directly below box C - Box D is at position 4 (bottom-left) - Box E is to the immediate right of box A - Box F is in Row 2 but not below box A Which box is at position 5?
Step-by-step Solution:

1. Understand the layout:
- Row 1 (top): positions 1 (Col1), 2 (Col2), 3 (Col3)
- Row 2 (bottom): positions 4 (Col1), 5 (Col2), 6 (Col3)
- "Directly below" means same column, consecutive rows
- "Immediate right" means same row, adjacent columns

2. Direct assignment:
- Position 4 = D (given)

3. Place A and E:
- A in Row 1 (positions 1, 2, or 3)
- E immediately right of A

- pos4 is already D, so (C=1, B=4) invalid
- Try C=3, B=6 (Column 3)

5. Place remaining box F:
- Available position: pos5
- F in Row 2 (pos5) and not below A
- A at pos1 (Col1), F at pos5 (Col2) → not below ✓

6. Final arrangement:
- Position 1: A

- Row 1 (top): positions 1 (Col1), 2 (Col2), 3 (Col3)
- Row 2 (bottom): positions 4 (Col1), 5 (Col2), 6 (Col3)
- "Directly below" means same column, consecutive rows
- "Immediate right" means same row, adjacent columns

2. Direct assignment:
- Position 4 = D (given)

3. Place A and E:
- A in Row 1 (positions 1, 2, or 3)
- E immediately right of A
- Possible pairs: (A=1, E=2) or (A=2, E=3)
- Try A=1, E=2 first

4. Place B and C (B directly below C):
- Possible column pairs: (C at pos1, B at pos4), (C at pos2, B at pos5), (C at pos3, B at pos6)
- pos4 is already D, so (C=1, B=4) invalid
- Try C=3, B=6 (Column 3)

5. Place remaining box F:
- Available position: pos5
- F in Row 2 (pos5) and not below A
- A at pos1 (Col1), F at pos5 (Col2) → not below ✓

6. Final arrangement:
- Position 1: A
- Position 2: E
- Position 3: C
- Position 4: D
- Position 5: F
- Position 6: B

7. Answer: Box F is at position 5
