Five boxes F, E, T, C and S are placed one over the other but not necessarily in the same order. S is second from the top, while E is second from the bottom. C is neither at the top nor at the bottom. What is the position of C from the top?

Five boxes F, E, T, C and S are placed one over the other but not necessarily in the same order

S is second from the top

E is second from the bottom

C is neither at the top nor at the bottom

From the given information Boxes arrangement diagram can be drawn-

Since C cannot be at the top or bottom, it can either be in the third position or the first position.

Given the other constraints, C must be in the middle position.

Therefore, the position of C from the top is the third position.

​Thus, correct option is (a)
