Solution

The correct option is D

(d) C


We may use the usual inequality sign to compare heights, taking care to note that taller is behind the shorter. Conditions are (1) A < F < B or B < F < A; (2) A < C < E < D

Now the third condition that there are two boys between E and F becomes decisive.

Therefore, B < F < A < C < E < D because the alternative A<C<E<D<B<F is not feasible as it contradicts the first condition.
