Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1260

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total number of dises are \(4+3+2=9\). Out of 9 dises, 4 are of the first kind (red) 3 are of the second kind (yellow) and 2 are of the third kind (green). Therefore, the number of arrangements \(=\frac{9 !}{4 ! 3 ! 2 !}=1260\)
