lets make the possibilities:

If A sits first which is followed by B and the number of options or the ways in which B can sit around A is 2.
i.e. AB,BA

Now,if C wants to sit adjacent to A or B it can sit in 4 ways i.e. 2 ways each for sitting near A or B.

Now, again for D we have 8 ways i.e. 2 ways each to sit near A,B,orC.

Similarly, we can see for E we have 16 ways.

thus, F has total of around 32  ways to sit near A,B,C,D  by 32 ways.
