Five boxes - Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, and Black- are stacked one over another with 1 at the bottom and 5 at the top. These boxes are arranged using the following rules: 1. Red is above Green 2. Yellow is immediately above Black 3. Black is not at the bottom If Blue Box is at 4 position, which box is at the position 2?
Correct answer: D. Black
- A. Red
- B. Green
- C. Yellow
- D. Black
Explanation
With Blue at 4, Yellow directly above Black and Black not at the bottom, Black must be at 2 and Yellow at 3, since 3-4 and 4-5 would clash with Blue. Red and Green take positions 1 and 5 with Red above Green, so Green is 1, Red is 5, and position 2 holds Black.

About Logical Problems
Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
