While arranging the beads along any of the five rows or along any of the five columns, the rules given below are to be followed :

  1. Two adjacent beads along the same row or column are always of different colours.
  2. There is at least one Green bead between any two Blue beads along the same row or column.
  3. There is at least one Blue and at least one Green bead between any two Red beads along the same row or column.
