Directions (76-80) :Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:

Nine boxes are placed one above the other. The bottommost shelf is numbered as 1 and just above it is numbered as 2 and so on till the topmost shelf is numbered as 9.

Box C is placed at the position which is a multiple of 3. Three boxes are placed between Box C and Box H. There are as many boxes placed below Box H as above Box L. Box G is placed just above Box E but not placed just below Box C. Box D is placed below Box E. More than two boxes are placed between Box M and Box B. Box F is placed above Box M.

How many boxes are placed between Box H and Box C?

The correct option is None of these.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let us analyze the given conditions to determine the step-by-step placement of boxes on 9 shelves numbered 1 (bottommost) to 9 (topmost):

1. The question explicitly asks: "How many boxes are placed between Box H and Box C?"

2. From the second sentence of the given information: "Three boxes are placed between Box C and Box H."

3. Thus, by direct statement from the puzzle details, exactly 3 boxes are placed between Box H and Box C.

Now, let us examine the options provided:

- Option 1: None

- Option 2: Two

- Option 3: Four

- Option 4: Five

- Option 5: None of these

Since the correct count of boxes placed between Box H and Box C is 3, and 3 is not listed among options (1) to (4), the correct choice is None of these (which corresponds to 3 boxes).
