The word CARLETON have 8 letters. We want to arranged this word so that it contains either CA of AC as sub-words.
The letters C and A can be grouped and considered as a single letter. that is, (CA)RLETON.
Hence we can assume total letters as $1 + 6 = 7$ and all are different. Number of ways to arrange these letters is $7! = 5040$ . Now, CA or AC can be arranged themselves in $2! = 2 w a y s$ , Therefore, the total number of arrangements is $5040 \times 2 = 10080$
Thus, the total number of arranged so that the word contains either CA or AC as sub-words are 10080.
