Given:
Six students - A, B, C, D, E, and F.
1) A is at one corner and F is beside him.
According to the above information, there are two cases:

Case (1) Case (2)
- As given A is at one corner it could be left or right. F is beside A in both cases.
2) B is at the second place from the right end.
Here case (1) gets eliminated.

- As B is the second place from the right then A has to be in the left corner because F is always beside A and if A is at the right end then F has to be in the second place from the right end.
3) B is to the immediate right of E.

4) C is not beside F.

- As given C is not beside F means there is the only place where C stands is the right end after that only place remaining for D is between E and F.
- So, according to the above diagram "C standing at the right end".
Hence, the correct answer "Option 4" .
