Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 3 : 360

The letters G,E and R can be arranged together in 3! = 6.

So we have 6 way to arrange G, E and R.

 Considering GER as one alphabet or one block.

 Now, we have 4 (M,A,N and A) +1 (GER) = 5 letters. 

To be randomly arranged of which the 2 A's are indistinguishable. So they can be randomly arranged as:

 \( {5!\over 2!} = 60\)

There is 60 way to arrange 5 letters.

So the total number of ways letters of the word MANAGER can be arranged such that the letter G, E and R come together is:

60 × 6 = 360

Hence, '360' is the correct answer.
