    C 720 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 504 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total number of ways of arrangement = 6! = 720 ways
    If we consider 3 brothers as one person, number of ways of arrangement among themselves = 3! = 6 ways
    Number of ways of arrangement of remaining 4 people = 4! = 24 ways
    Therefore, required number of ways = 720 – (6 × 24) = 576 ways
