Given: Six friends A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting on a bench facing north.

(1): B is sitting at one extreme end of the bench. So, there have two possibilities

Case(I): 

F5 Savita Railways 5-8-22 D10

Case (II):

F5 Savita Railways 5-8-22 D11

(2): F is an immediate neighbour of both just D and B.

(3): A is sitting second to the right of C, who is an immediate neighbour of D. i.e. A is sitting second to the right of C and C is an immediate neighbour of D.

So, Case (II) is eliminated. 

Case (I):

F5 Savita Railways 5-8-22 D14

Then, the final arrangement is:

F5 Savita Railways 5-8-22 D15

Therefore, A is sitting at the other extreme end.

From the given information:

Step 1: Only two people sit to the left of C. Only one person sits to the right of D.

F1 Mrunal SSC Exams 27.12.2022 D89

We place C at third place from left and then place D at second from right.

Step 2:  Only two people sit between A and B. B sits to the left of A. E is an immediate neighbour of A to the right. 

F1 Mrunal SSC Exams 27.12.2022 D90

Now we place B and A such that there are 2 people between them and B is on the left. Then we place E right next to A.

Step 3: F is not an immediate neighbour of B.

F1 Mrunal SSC Exams 27.12.2022 D91

We place F at extreme right and then place G at the only spot left.

From the arrangement, we can see that B is at the extreme left.

From the given information:
Step 1: Only two people sit to the left of G. Only one person sits to the right of B.
                F1 Madhuri Engineering 17.01.2023 D4

We place G such that only two places are left at its left & we place B such that only one spot is left to its right.
Step 2: Only two people sit between A and F. A sits to the left of F.

              F1 Madhuri Engineering 17.01.2023 D5

Here we place A and F such that there are two spaces between them and F is to the right of A.
Step 3: D is an immediate neighbour of F to the right. E is not an immediate neighbour of G.
              F1 Madhuri Engineering 17.01.2023 D6

Now we place D next to F, since E cannot sit near G we place E at the right end.
Now we place C at the only place left,
             F1 Madhuri Engineering 17.01.2023 D7

From the given arrangement, we can see that 5 people sit between A and E.

Hence, the correct answer is "option (3)".
