Many people believe “between” should be used for choices involving two items and “among” for choices that involve more than two items. That can get you to the right answer some of the time, but it's not that simple (1, 2, 3, 4)

Hi Akhileshwar, We use between when two things are separate. We use among when things are not clearly separated, and are a part of a crowd, group etc. e.g. Between - There was a scooter between the car and the bus. Among - We found some bookmarks among his books.
