Five balls L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5 are kept one above the other (not necessarily in the same order). L1 is just above L5 and just below L4. L2 is just above L3 and just below L5. How many balls are above L2?

3

Given: Five balls L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5 are kept one above the other (not necessarily in the same order). L1 is just above L5 and just below L4. L2 is just above L3 and just below L5. 

--> L1 is above L5 and just below L4

--> L2 is just above L3 and just below L5

Thus, there are 03 balls above L2
