a. He was very much annoyed.
b. He was annoyed much.
c. He was annoyed very much.
Are the above sentences grammatically correct?
I think they are, although they sound a bit strange.
I think (b) and (c) could mean that he was often annoyed. I think could refer to a single incident as well.
d. He was annoyed much when he leaned that his son was arrested.
e. He was annoyed very much when he leaned that his son was arrested.
Many thanks.

Re: veyr much
As they stand, only (a) is fully acceptable/idiomatic.
However, you could have e.g.
He was much annoyed to learn that...
