Eight phones: $Apple, Samsung, Asus, Lenovo, Xiaomi, Micromax, Nokia, and Google

Eight Sellers: $P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W.

Each box has a number from 1 to 8 and arranged in descending order one above the other.

Let’s solve this one step by step:

1) Three boxes are in between W and V and neither of them is at the top or bottom of the stack.

2) The number of boxes between Samsung and W is same as Samsung and V.

3) Box of Lenovo is at 4th position from the bottom of the stack.

4) There are two boxes between the boxes that contains Apple and Lenovo devices. The box of Apple is above box of Lenovo.

5) Seller of Google is T and Apple is W.

From 5, seller of Google is T and Apple is W.

The only possibility for U (Micromax) is box number 8.
