Answer

(a) $479001600$ (b) $95040$ (c) $3326400$

Work Step by Step

(a) Here, all $12$ components are different. We can make a design by arranging these components into a cylindrical casing. So there are $12!=479001600$ designs possible. (b) Here, $7$ components are identical, and the other $5$ are different. So there are $\frac{12!}{7!1!1!1!1!1!}=95040$ designs possible. (c) Here, $3$ components are identical to one type, $4$ components are similar to second type, and rest $5$ components are different from each other. So there are $\frac{12!}{3!4!1!1!1!1!1!}=3326400$ designs possible.
