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.

What is the position of container W with respect to container T?

The correct answer is Three containers below.

Step-by-Step Arrangement:

Let us assign positions from 1 to 8 for the stacked pile, where position 1 is the bottommost position and position 8 is the topmost position.

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

Step 2: Place Container T and P
• Exactly three containers are kept between V (Position 3) and T. Counting upwards, T is placed at: Position 7 = T.
• Container P is placed immediately above T: Position 8 = P.

Step 3: Place Container R
• The number of containers kept below V (Positions 1 and 2) is 2.
• The number of containers above R must also be 2. Therefore, R is placed at position 6 (since positions 7 and 8 are above it): Position 6 = R.

Step 4: Place Container S and W
• Container S is placed immediately below R: Position 5 = S.
• Container W is placed immediately below S: Position 4 = W.

Final Stack Layout (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

Conclusion:
Container T is at position 7 and Container W is at position 4.
Container W is located 3 positions (with containers R and S in between) below container T.
Thus, container W is placed Three containers below container T.
