C is second to the left of E.(C_E),and E is not at any of ends.
Who is third to the right of A.means AC_E.and D is at one of the ends.it already mentioned earlier that E is not at any of the ends.so D puts at the end after E. It means AC_ED.and at middle remained puts.means ACBED.

If D is at another end then E would be at the end which is not possible due to statement 2.
