Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below.
Eight parcels—A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H—are stacked one above another on eight shelves numbered 1 to 8 from bottom to top. Each parcel is bound for a different city: Berlin, Dublin, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Tokyo, and Vienna.
Parcel D, bound for Tokyo, is placed on the topmost shelf. Three parcels are placed between Parcel D and Parcel C. Parcel F, bound for Madrid, is placed immediately above Parcel C. Two parcels are placed between Parcel F and Parcel E. Parcel B, bound for Dublin, is placed immediately below Parcel E. Parcel G, bound for Berlin, is placed immediately above Parcel A, which is bound for London. Parcel H, bound for Vienna, is placed immediately below Parcel C. The Paris-bound parcel is kept on Shelf 2.
Which of the following parcels is placed immediately below Parcel G?
Correct Answer :
Parcel A
Solution :
Correct Answer: Parcel A
Step-by-Step Explanation:
We are given eight shelves numbered 1 to 8 from bottom to top, with eight parcels (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) stacked on them.
Let's deduce the position and city of each parcel step-by-step from top (Shelf 8) to bottom (Shelf 1):
1. Parcel D: Placed on the topmost shelf (Shelf 8) and is bound for Tokyo.
2. Parcel C: Three parcels are placed between Parcel D (Shelf 8) and Parcel C. Therefore, Parcel C is placed on Shelf 4.
3. Parcel F: Placed immediately above Parcel C (Shelf 4), so Parcel F is on Shelf 5 and is bound for Madrid.
4. Parcel H: Placed immediately below Parcel C (Shelf 4), so Parcel H is on Shelf 3 and is bound for Vienna.
5. Parcel E: Two parcels are placed between Parcel F (Shelf 5) and Parcel E. Moving 2 positions down from Shelf 5 leads to Shelf 2, so Parcel E is placed on Shelf 2. Since the Paris-bound parcel is kept on Shelf 2, Parcel E is bound for Paris.
6. Parcel B: Placed immediately below Parcel E (Shelf 2), so Parcel B is on Shelf 1 and is bound for Dublin.
7. Parcel G and Parcel A: Parcel G is placed immediately above Parcel A. The remaining empty shelves are Shelf 7 and Shelf 6. Thus, Parcel G (bound for Berlin) is placed on Shelf 7, and Parcel A (bound for London) is placed on Shelf 6.
8. Remaining Parcel C: The remaining unassigned city is Rome, so Parcel C is bound for Rome.
Complete Stack Summary (Shelves 8 to 1):
Shelf 8: Parcel D (Tokyo)
Shelf 7: Parcel G (Berlin)
Shelf 6: Parcel A (London)
Shelf 5: Parcel F (Madrid)
Shelf 4: Parcel C (Rome)
Shelf 3: Parcel H (Vienna)
Shelf 2: Parcel E (Paris)
Shelf 1: Parcel B (Dublin)
Therefore, the parcel placed immediately below Parcel G (on Shelf 7) is Parcel A (on Shelf 6).
