the only restriction: odd digits don′t occupy  odd places, i.e. the three digits 1,1, 3  can only be placed in 4 even positions.    to arrange the three odd digits (1,1,3)  in 4 even positions there are  (P_3 ^4 /(2!)) different ways.  to arrange the remaining 5 even  digits (2,2,2,4,4) in the remaining 5  possitions there are  ((5!)/(2!3!)) different ways.  so the result is (P_3 ^4 /(2!))×((5!)/(2!3!))=((4×3×2)/2)×((5×4)/2)=120    ⇒answer b) is correct
