Explanation: 1) Four boxes are kept between P and Q. Q is kept below P. 2) Box T is kept immediately above Q. 3) Two boxes are kept between T and X. 4) X is kept immediately below S (This eliminates case 3 and 4). 5) Two boxes are kept between R and U. U is not kept below P (This eliminates case 1). 6) V is kept above T but not immediately below R. Final Arrangement: U, P, V, R, W, T, Q, S, X (top to bottom). Hence, number of boxes above V is same as the number of boxes below Q.
