Answer:

The answer is C,A,E,F,D,B

Step-by-step explanation:

As the conditions are given in 1st A did not finished last in above answer only in 2nd option A has finished last so second answer gets cancel.

In 2nd condition E has finished 3rd in above answer except 1st so 1st options also gets cancelled only 3rd and 4th option remains as 2nd option doesn't satisfy 1st condition.

In 3rd condition B finished either immediately after or before D in 3rd option B has not finished immediately after D.

In 4th option E is in third position , B has finished immediately after D and A is not in last position.

So answer is 4th option as it satisfies all conditions.
