According to the information

(i) F is between B and A

B > F > A or A > F > B

(ii) E is shorter than D but taller than C and C is taller than A

A (iii) E and F have two boys between them

Then we have either D > E > C > A > F > B or D > E > C > A (iv) A is not shortest among them all

Therefore, the only possible case is D > E > C > A > F > B

Hence, E is between D and C.
