C) 72,000 ways D) None of the above

In circumcstances word there are 3C's, 2S's, I, U,R, T, A, N, E

Total = 13 letters

But last letter must be N

Hence, available places = 12

In that odd places = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11

Owvels = 4

This can be done in 6P4 ways 

Remaining 7 letters can be arranged in 7!/3! x 2! ways

 

Hence, total number of ways = 6P4 x 7!/3! x 2! = 360 x 5040/12 = 1,51,200 ways.
