The football is in the box of which colour ?

Correct Option: (c) Cannot be determined as data are inadequate

Based on the analytical layout derived from the passage constraints, we have the following mapping for the six boxes: Box D (Position 1) has football, and its colour is either Yellow or Blue. Box C (Position 2) has cricket, Green colour. Box B (Position 3) has volleyball, and its colour is either Yellow or Blue. Box F (Position 4) has hockey, Indigo colour. Box E (Position 5) has golf, Violet colour. Box A (Position 6) has tennis, Orange colour. While we know that the football is inside Box D, we only have three unassigned colours (indigo, yellow, and blue) for the remaining boxes (B, D, F). Since Box F is confirmed to be indigo, the remaining colours yellow and blue must belong to Box B and Box D. However, no additional information is provided to uniquely distinguish which of B and D is yellow and which is blue. Thus, the colour of the football box cannot be determined as data are inadequate.
