Solution :-

Given:

The digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1

The total number of digits are 7.

There are 4 odd digits 1,1,3,3 and 4 odd places (1,3,5,7)

So, the odd digits can be arranged in odd places in = \( \dfrac{4!}{(2! 2!)}\) ways.

The remaining even digits 2,2,4 can be arranged in 3 even places in = \(\dfrac{ 3!}{2!}\) Ways.

Hence, the total number of digits =\( \dfrac{4!}{(2! 2!)}\) × \( \dfrac{ 3!}{2!}\)

= 3×2×1×3×1

= 18

Hence, the number of ways of arranging the digits such odd digits always occupies odd places is equals to 18.
