View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
9
The correct answer is 9 because there are 2 even numbers that are not fixed, leading to a derangement problem with 2 elements, and the number of ways to arrange them is 1, multiplied by the number of ways to arrange the other 2 even numbers, which is also 1. This gives 3C2 * 2! = 3 * 2 = 6. Then we need to consider the case where both even numbers are swapped, which is 1. So 6 + 3 = 9
