Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the question given below.

Eight containers – P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W – are stacked one above another in a single pile, but not necessarily in the given order.

Container V is placed at the third position from the bottom. Exactly three containers are kept between V and T. Container P is placed immediately above T. The number of containers kept above R is equal to the number of containers kept below V. Container S is placed immediately below R. Container U is placed at the bottommost position. Container Q is placed immediately below V. Container W is placed immediately below S.

How many containers are placed between container T and the container which is kept immediately below container V?

The correct answer is Four.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let the 8 positions in the pile be numbered from 1 (bottommost) to 8 (topmost).

Step 1: Place U, V, and Q
- Container U is placed at the bottommost position: Position 1 = U.
- Container V is placed at the 3rd position from the bottom: Position 3 = V.
- Container Q is placed immediately below V: Position 2 = Q.

Step 2: Place T and P
- Exactly three containers are placed between V (Position 3) and T. Counting 3 positions above Position 3 gives Position 7, so Position 7 = T.
- Container P is placed immediately above T: Position 8 = P.

Step 3: Place R, S, and W
- The number of containers below V (Position 3) is 2 (Positions 1 and 2). Thus, there must be 2 containers above R, placing R at Position 6 = R.
- Container S is placed immediately below R: Position 5 = S.
- Container W is placed immediately below S: Position 4 = W.

Final Arrangement from Top to Bottom:
Position 8: P
Position 7: T
Position 6: R
Position 5: S
Position 4: W
Position 3: V
Position 2: Q
Position 1: U

Finding the Answer:
- Container T is at Position 7.
- The container kept immediately below V is Q, which is at Position 2.
- The containers placed between Position 7 (T) and Position 2 (Q) are at Positions 6, 5, 4, and 3 (R, S, W, and V).

Therefore, there are exactly Four containers placed between container T and the container immediately below container V.
