~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the context, in this problem, to be " between " means to be " immediately between ".

So, we have 6 letters A, B, C, D, E, F.


There are 3 positions between E and D.
A is on the end, but E isn't.


So, from this description, the only possible configurations are these TWO,  A E C F B D  or  D B F C E A.  


In both these configurations, Frank is between Bob and Chuck.


ANSWER.  There are TWO and only two possible configurations, A E C F B D  or  D B F C E A,
         and in both configurations, Frank is between Bob and Chuck (option (a)).

Solved.
