Free now means:- for a limited period its free and after that we want to pay

Now Free:-previous days we want to pay for that, but now onwards we can use it as free for a long period

We use "now free" for exclamatory or surprised sentences and in other hand "free now" is use in normal present condition.

Example:

This watch is "free now" with one golden watch.

A comma is missing in option A. It should be like this : The Indian radio, which was previously controlled by the British rulers, is free now from the narrow vested interests.

I am free now. He is now free from that problem.

Friends that prepositon from makes the difference between ' free now' and 'now free'.

They haven't used pronoun while explaining second sentence. The Indian radio it is now noun, they have to use pronoun like, it is free.

"now free" and "free now' are not the same. According to the linguistic, it should be "now free" the word now' is an adverb of time.

Because auxiliary verb (now) in a clause cannot be separated from the main verb (rules) they should be close next to each other.

According to my point of view "now free" is used for long period and "free now" is used for limited period.

Nothing different except your decision to emphasize free or now, the word you emphasize on will appear at the last position.
