4) Three boxes are between Box U and the one which has Black color. Cases 2(a), Case 2(b), Case 4(a), and Case 9 are not satisfying the given condition. That is why they are eliminated.

Box	Color
Q	White
U	Yellow
T	Red
P	Green

2) The number of persons sitting between W and C is double the number of persons sitting between C and P. K is sitting fifth to the left of P. In Case 1, Eight persons are sitting between W and C. So, four persons would be sitting between C and P(Either from the left or right of C). However, the condition that K is sitting fifth to the left of P cannot be fulfilled in Case 1. So, Case 1 is eliminated.

3) Three persons are sitting between T and K. T and P are not immediate neighbors

4) Two persons are sitting between C and F. F is the immediate neighbor of M. Two persons are sitting to the left of T. F is not an immediate neighbor of P and Q.

5) F is the immediate neighbor of M. Not more than two persons are sitting between Q and M.

The final arrangement is:

Hence, Six persons are sitting between W and C.
