      C 102 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 108 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Since there are 5 articles, total number of ways of arrangement = 5! = 120 ways
      If we consider 3 cups as one article, number of ways of arrangement of cups among themselves = 3! = 6 ways
      Number of ways of arrangement of remaining three articles = 3! = 6 ways
      Therefore, required number of ways = 120 – (6 × 6) = 84 ways
