Costs: 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48 and 49.
The Cost of box R is five less than that of box T. Four possible cases

The Cost of Box P is a prime number.

The cost of Box U is two more than that of box P. The cost of Box U is more than that of box T. We cannot fix the cost of U in case 2 and case 4. So these cases are eliminated

The cost of box S is odd number. For this case we have 43 and 45 are odd number for case 1 and 41 and 45 are odd number for case 4.
The cost of box V is three more than cost of box S.

None of the box cost is Rs.44. From this case 3 is eliminated.

Now we have Rs. 43 and Rs.42 is unknown cost. The cost of box Q is even number. Therefore cost of box Q is Rs.42. case 1 is the final arrangement.
