Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(40\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total arrangements = \( \frac{6!}{3!2!} = \frac{720}{12} = 60 \) Treat NN as one unit. Arrangements with Ns together = \( \frac{5!}{3!1!} = \frac{120}{6} = 20 \) Arrangements with Ns not together = \( 60 - 20 = 40 \)
