5. The Violet box was placed second to the top of the Blue box.
Clearly, the above condition cannot be satisfied in Case II, so it is eliminated.
The final arrangement is shown below:
|
Case I |
|
Red |
|
Yellow |
|
Indigo |
|
Violet |
|

|

- Violet box – 7th position from the top → False (4th position from the top)
- Yellow box – 5th position from the top → False (2nd position from the top)
- Green box – 3rd position from the top → False (5th position from the top)
- Blue box – 6th position from the top → True
Hence, 'Blue box – 6th position from the top' is the correct answer.
