Table 1 = A,D
Table 2 = FBE
Table 3 = C and G.
In this arrangement, we can say in 1 st Q the answer is 3 or 4 as we can't determine that G is a girl or not.

F Is a Boy Hence male Given.
E Is Brother Hence Male Given.
A Sits With HIS Best Friends Given (HIS Used For A Hence Male).
So It Is Clear That 3 Are Male.
Total no.of Students Are 7,
So There May Be 3 Or 4 Girls.

According to me, the solution is;.
Consider this, " A sits on the bench I with his best friends" means A is a boy "E is the brother of C " means E also is a boy. That leaves with only "3" girls - can't be 4 girls.
