6) The boxes of Berries and Mango are placed adjacent to each other.

7) The boxes of Berries and Kiwi are not placed adjacent to each other.

10	Guava/ Litchi	Litchi		Litchi

8) Box of Peach is placed after box of Berries. So, cases 1, 2(a)(i) and 3(a) is eliminated.

9) As many boxes are placed between the boxes of Apple and Grapes as many between boxes of Peach and Mango. So, case – 2(a)(ii) is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

S.No.	Boxes
1	Apple
2	Kiwi
3	Grapes
4	Banana
5	Litchi
6	Oranges
7	Guava
8	Mango

Since, all except Box of Guava is placed even position whereas box of Guava is placed at odd position.

Hence, the correct answer is Guava.
