B

B. `240`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`(d)` First we have to find all the arrangement of the word `'GENIUS'`.
`6!=720`
Number of arrangements which either start with `G` or end with `S` is
`(5!+5!-4!)=(120+120-24)=216`
Hence, total number of arrangments which neither start with `G` nor end with `S` is
`(720-216)=504`
