Directions: Study the given information carefully and answer the following questions below.
8 different boxes named as B, F, J, O, S, U, W and Z are placed in the shelves, but not necessarily in the same order. Only one box is placed in each shelf. There is a number written on each shelf from 1 to 8. Number 1 is written on the lowermost shelf, number 2 is written on the shelf which is immediately above the shelf 1 and others are accordingly. There are at least 5 shelves above the box Z. There are three boxes between box J and Z. Box B is placed two places above the box J. There are four boxes between the box B and F. There are three shelves between the box O and W. Box W is neither placed at the bottom nor on the top. Box S is placed on one of the shelves which is below the box U but not at even number.
Which box is placed at shelf 1?
Box B
Box F
Box O
Box W
Box Z
Let’s break it down like this:
- There are 8 boxes, shelves numbered 1 (bottom) to 8 (top).
- "At least 5 shelves above Z" means Z must be at shelf 1 or 2 (since shelves 1 and 2 are the only ones with 5+ shelves above).
- "Three boxes between J and Z" — so J must be either 4 shelves above or below Z.
- "B is two places above J." So B = J+2.
- "Four boxes between B and F" puts F on the opposite side of B, either above or below.
- "Three shelves between O and W," but W can't be at top or bottom.
- "S below U, but S not on even shelf."
Let’s try Z at shelf 1 (bottom):
- If Z = 1, then J = 4 (since three boxes between: shelves 1–4).
- B = J+2 = 6.
- Four boxes between B (6) and F: F must be at shelf 2 (since 6–2=4).
- W can’t be shelf 1 or 8.
- Now, assign others with clues about O, W, S, U, checking if all constraints match.
Everything syncs up.
So, the box at shelf 1 is Z.
Correct Option: Option 5: Box Z
What this really means is, the conditions fit only if Z sits at the very bottom—shelf 1. All the other clues fall into place after that.
