Why this answer is correct

Gingers are kept on top and the onions are kept 1 place above the bottom box.

Ginger

Oranges are in the box that is kept at the 4^thposition from the top.

Ginger

There are only 4 boxes between apple box and potato box.

Ginger

Lemons and pear are not kept at the bottom.

Ginger

Orange


Potato/Apple
Onion
Lemons/ Pear

Garlic box is kept 2 boxes above the pear box. (this means that Garlic box is kept at 2^ndposition from pear box).

Therefore, lemon box will be kept immediately below pear box

Ginger
Apple/Potato
Garlic
Orange

Lemon
Potato/Apple
Onion

Now, only 1 place is left for the only left box i.e. carrot box

Ginger
