Can’t be determined

Answer: C

Explanation:
Binay and Dinesh are sitting at extreme ends. So, we will have two cases
Case 1: Dinesh _______ _______ _______ Binay

Case 2: Binay _______ _______ _______ Dinesh

There are exactly two friends between Binay and Eshaan therefore

Case 1: Dinesh Eshaan _______ _______ Binay

Case 2: Binay _______ _______ Eshaan Dinesh

Abish is sitting right to Chandu therefore

Case 1: Dinesh, Eshaan, Chandu, Abish, Binay

Case 2: Binay, Chandu, Abish, Eshaan, Dinesh

But we are given that Abhish and Eshaan are not sitting adjacently hence Case 2 won’t be possible so

Correct Sequence : Dinesh, Eshaan, Chandu, Abish, Binay

We can see that Abish is sitting between Chandu and Binay. (Answer :C)
