Verified by Experts

1) Not more than two boxes are kept above the box which contains Red colour.
Here, we have two possible cases i.e. Case 1 and Case 2:

2) Two boxes are kept between the box which contains Red colour and M.
3) The number of boxes are kept above the one which contains Red colour is same as the number of boxes are kept below the one which contains Black colour.
4) Three boxes are kept between those which contain Black colour and Purple colour.

5) Box Q is kept just above the box which contains Purple colour.
6) More than two boxes are kept between the box Q and the box K.
7) The box which contains Black colour is not kept adjacent to the box K.

8) Two boxes are kept between the box K and the box which contains White colour.
9) The box which contains Blue colour is kept just above the one which contains Green colour. Here, we have one more possible case i.e. Case 1a:

10) Three boxes are kept between the box which contains Blue colour and the box O.
11) Three boxes are kept between the box L and the box R which is kept above the box L.
Here, Case 3 gets eliminated:

12) More than two boxes are kept between the box N and the box which contains Yellow colour.
13) Box N is kept one of the boxes above the one which contains Orange colour. Here, Case 1a gets eliminated.
14) Box O does not contain Yellow colour.
Here, Case 2 gets eliminated and we have the final arrangement:

Clearly, ‘The box which contains Green colour is kept at second position from the bottom’ is false.
