"Strike" can mean arrive at, attain, reach when it refers to arrangements/deals/agreements.

Not correct

Explanation:
You cannot say "the arrangement is struck", but we do need some context to find out what you are trying to say.

Maybe you're trying to say sth. like "we/they have made arrangements" or "we/they have come to an agreement", but without further context, we're only guessing.
