✅ Correct Option: 2

Given information:

Five boys in a row: Rahul, Suresh, Abhishek, Arun, and Mohan
Rahul is not adjacent to Suresh or Abhishek
Arun is not adjacent to Suresh
Rahul is on the left-hand side of Mohan, adjacent to him
Mohan is in the middle of the row
Abhishek and Rahul have two people between them

Let positions be numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 from left to right.

Since Mohan is in the middle, Mohan is at position 3.

Since Rahul is adjacent to Mohan on the left side, Rahul is at position 2.

Arrangement so far: _ | Rahul | Mohan | _ | _

Since Abhishek and Rahul have two people between them, and Rahul is at position 2:

Counting two people between them means Abhishek is at position 5.

Arrangement so far: _ | Rahul | Mohan | _ | Abhishek

Remaining boys to place: Suresh and Arun at positions 1 and 4.

Since Rahul is not adjacent to Suresh, and Rahul is at position 2, Suresh cannot be at position 1.

Therefore, Suresh is at position 4 and Arun is at position 1.

Final arrangement: Arun | Rahul | Mohan | Suresh | Abhishek

(A) How many boys are there to the right of Rahul?

Rahul is at position 2. To his right: Mohan, Suresh, Abhishek = 3 boys

Answer: (I) Three

(B) Who is to the immediate right of Mohan?

Mohan is at position 3. At position 4: Suresh

Answer: (IV) Suresh

Abhishek is at position 5. To his left: Arun, Rahul, Mohan, Suresh = 4 boys

Answer: (III) Four

(D) Who is at the extreme left end?

At position 1: Arun

Answer: (II) Arun

The correct matching is:

(A) - (I), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (II)

Therefore, the answer is Option 2.
