Passive Voice

Hello,

Just want to know if the following sentences are grammatically correct....

(a) "He was put by them in the car."

(b) "By them, he was put in the car."

Thank you.

No, neither is natural English. We do not use passive voice with pronomial agents except in rare cases where context demands it.
