In total Raju bets 6000Rs and ends up with no profit - no loss. So there are 3 possibilities.
1) White comes 2nd, Black comes 4th and Red comes 5th.
2) Black comes 1st, White comes 3rd and Red comes 4th or 5th.
3) Black comes 2nd, Red comes 3rd and White comes 4th or 5th. So there can never be 3 horses between white and red according to above to possibilities. Hence option D cannot be true.
