  1. A \(\frac{5}{2}(8!)\)
  2. B \(4(8!)\)
  3. C \(2(8!)\)
  4. D \(36(7!)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2(8!)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Ways to place C and N at end positions: \(2\) Remaining 9 letters for middle positions (O(2), I(2), M(1), B(1), N(1), A(1), T(1)). Total permutations of 9 letters: \( \frac{9!}{2!2!} = \frac{9!}{4} \) Permutations with a vowel in middle (P6):…
