      A 84 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 96 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 36 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 108 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Total number of arrangements = 5! = 120 ways
      If we treat the 2 robots as one group, arrangements among themselves = 2! = 2 ways Total arrangements = 120/2 =  60 ways
      Number of arrangements of remaining 4 items = 4! = 24 ways
      Therefore, required number of ways = 60 – 24 = 36 ways
