Best answer

(c) : Out of 6 novels, 4 novels can be selected in 6Cways.
Also out of 3 dictionaries, 1 dictionary can be selected in 3C1 ways.
Since the dictionary is fixed in the middle, we only have to arrange 4 novels which can be done in 4! ways.
Then the number of ways = 6C4 · 3C1 · 4!
= 6 ⋅ 5/2 x 3 x 24 = 1080
