16) Answer (C)
There are three people between B and E and E is to the right of B. Hence, B can be at the extreme left end or can be second from the left. If B is second then E must be at the extreme right end. But this is not possible as E cannot wear a blue t-shirt. Hence, B must be at the extreme left and E must be fifth from the left end. Hence E must be wearing the yellow t-shirt. D is to the left of E. Hence, only C can occupy the extreme right position. Thus, C must be sitting at the extreme right end and wearing a blue t-shirt. F is not wearing a black or white t-shirt. Hence, he must be wearing the red t-shirt. A will wear black and D will wear white. Hence our final arrangement is like the one shown below 
Thus, we can see that B is sitting at the extreme left end. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
17) Answer (E)
There are three people between B and E and E is to the right of B. Hence, B can be at the extreme left end or can be second from the left. If B is second then E must be at the extreme right end. But this is not possible as E cannot wear a blue t-shirt. Hence, B must be at the extreme left and E must be fifth from the left end. Hence E must be wearing the yellow t-shirt. D is to the left of E. Hence, only C can occupy the extreme right position. Thus, C must be sitting at the extreme right end and wearing a blue t-shirt. F is not wearing a black or white t-shirt. Hence, he must be wearing the red t-shirt. A will wear black and D will wear white. Hence our final arrangement is like the one shown below Thus, we can see that we can determine the colour of the t-shirts for each of the 6 people. Hence, option E is the correct answer.
18) Answer (B)
There are three people between B and E and E is to the right of B. Hence, B can be at the extreme left end or can be second from the left. If B is second then E must be at the extreme right end. But this is not possible as E cannot wear a blue t-shirt. Hence, B must be at the extreme left and E must be fifth from the left end. Hence E must be wearing the yellow t-shirt. D is to the left of E. Hence, only C can occupy the extreme right position. Thus, C must be sitting at the extreme right end and wearing a blue t-shirt. F is not wearing a black or white t-shirt. Hence, he must be wearing the red t-shirt. A will wear black and D will wear white. Hence our final arrangement is like the one shown below Thus, we can see that only one person is sitting between D and A. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
19) Answer (E)
There are three people between B and E and E is to the right of B. Hence, B can be at the extreme left end or can be second from the left. If B is second then E must be at the extreme right end. But this is not possible as E cannot wear a blue t-shirt. Hence, B must be at the extreme left and E must be fifth from the left end. Hence E must be wearing the yellow t-shirt. D is to the left of E. Hence, only C can occupy the extreme right position. Thus, C must be sitting at the extreme right end and wearing a blue t-shirt. F is not wearing a black or white t-shirt. Hence, he must be wearing the red t-shirt. A will wear black and D will wear white. Hence our final arrangement is like the one shown below
We can see that A is wrong since B and C are sitting at extreme ends and not B and D. Moreover, D is also wrong since 4 people are sitting between B and C. Thus, the correct answer is more than one of the above which is option E.
20) Answer (B)
There are three people between B and E and E is to the right of B. Hence, B can be at the extreme left end or can be second from the left. If B is second then E must be at the extreme right end. But this is not possible as E cannot wear a blue t-shirt. Hence, B must be at the extreme left and E must be fifth from the left end. Hence E must be wearing the yellow t-shirt. D is to the left of E. Hence, only C can occupy the extreme right position. Thus, C must be sitting at the extreme right end and wearing a blue t-shirt. F is not wearing a black or white t-shirt. Hence, he must be wearing the red t-shirt. A will wear black and D will wear white. Hence our final arrangement is like the one shown below Thus, we can see that the person wearing the white t-shirt is second from the left end.
