(B) The word $MOBILE$ consists of $6$ letters: $M, O, B, I, L, E$.There are $3$ consonants $(M, B, L)$ and $3$ vowels $(O, I, E)$.There are $6$ positions in total: $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$.The odd positions are $1, 3, 5$ (total $3$ positions).The even positions are $2, 4, 6$ (total $3$ positions).Since consonants must occupy odd places,the $3$ consonants can be arranged in the $3$ odd places in ${}^3P_3 = 3! = 6$ ways.The remaining $3$ vowels can be arranged in the remaining $3$ even places in ${}^3P_3 = 3! = 6$ ways.Total number of words $= 6 	imes 6 = 36$.

The number of words which can be made out of the letters of the word $MOBILE$ when consonants always occupy odd places is
