The correct answer is: 360

The word MULTIPLE consists of three vowels that are placed at the 2nd , 5th and 8th position.

The three vowels can be arranged at their respective places in 3! ways.

The remaining 5 consonants can be arranged at their respective places in 5!2!=60 ways

Total number of arrangements =3!×5!2!=360
