Four chocolate boxes - A, B, C and D – are placed side by side. Each contains one type of chocolates – Dairy Milk, Kit-Kat, Mars and Bounty – not necessarily in that order. Here are some clues:

* The box with Kit-Kat is between the boxes containing 3 kg and 5 kg chocolates.
* There is more Bounty in the box than Dairy Milk, but more Kit-Kat than Bounty.
* The Dairy Milk box is between Bounty and Kit-Kat box.
* The weight difference between Mars and Bounty is 3 kg.
* Box A and D do not have the least amount of chocolates in it.
* Box C has more chocolates than does box A.
* The box with 11 kg chocolates is not Mars.

Which box contains which chocolate and how much each box weighs?

the answer

Box A - Bounty - 8 kg
Box B - Dairy Milk - 3 kg
Box C - Kit-Kat 11 kg
Box D - Mars - 5 kg

It is given that the box with Kit-Kat is between the boxes containing 3 kg and 5 kg chocolates. There are two possibilities:

[(3), Kit-Kat, (5)] or [(5), Kit-Kat, (3)]

Also, the Dairy Milk box is between Bounty and Kit-Kat box. Now, there are four possibilities:

[Bounty, Dairy Milk (3), Kit-Kat, 5] or [3, Kit-Kat, Dairy Milk (5), Bounty] or
[Bounty, Dairy Milk (5), Kit-Kat, 3] or [5, Kit-Kat, Dairy Milk (3), Bounty]

It is obvious that the remaining box contains Mars, which weighs either 3 kg or 5 kg. Also, the weight difference between Mars and Bounty is 3 kg. It means that Bounty is 6 kg, 2 kg or 8 kg. Hence, Kit-Kat is 11 kg.

[Bounty, Dairy Milk (3), Kit-Kat (11), Mars (5)] or [Mars (3), Kit-Kat (11), Dairy Milk (5), Bounty] or
[Bounty, Dairy Milk (5), Kit-Kat (11), Mars (3)] or [Mars (5), Kit-Kat (11), Dairy Milk (3), Bounty]

As Box A and D do not have the least amount of chocolates in it, Bounty can not be 2 kg. Also, Box A and Box D can not weigh 3 kg. Thus, the only possibility is:
[Bounty (8), Dairy Milk (3), Kit-Kat (11), Mars (5)]

my own answer just different approach:

Compare above with Steven's solution below.Well done Steven.

Based on the following facts:

Weight clue
1 11kg not = Mars
2 Box C > A
3 xkg < Box A & D
4 Bounty - Mars = 3kg
5 Kit Kat > Bounty > Diary

Placement clue
6 Bounty / Dairy / Kit Kat
7 3kg / Kit Kat / 5 kg
8 A / B / C / D

Therefore we start with Placement 1st
Clue #: Box:
Step 1 8 A B C D
Step 2 7 Bounty Diary Kit Kat
Step 3 6 3kg Kit Kat 5kg
Therefore D = Mars
A B C D
Bounty Diary Kit Kat Mars
3kg Kit Kat 5kg

Step 4 1 If Mars not = 11 kg, then Kit Kat is 11 kg
A B C D
Bounty Diary Kit Kat Mars
3kg 11kg 5kg

Step 5 4 Bounty - Mars = 3kg
?kg - 5kg = 3kg A B C D
Bounty = 8kg Bounty Diary Kit Kat Mars
8kg 3kg 11kg 5kg

Step 6 Confirm 5 Kit Kat > Bounty > Diary = 11 kg > 8 kg > 3kg
Step 7 Confirm 3 Box C > A 11kg > 8 kg
Step 8 Confirm 2 xkg < Box A & D lowest kg is not Box A (8kg) and Box D (5kg)

Answer: A B C D
Bounty Diary Kit Kat Mars
8kg 3kg 11kg 5kg
