In how many ways can 8 people be seated in a row if (a) there are no restrictions on the seating arrangement? (b) persons A and B must sit next to each other? (c) there are 4 men and 4 women and no 2 men or 2 women can sit next to each other? (d) there are 5 men and they must sit next to one another? (e) there are 4 married couples and each couple must sit together?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) if there are no restrictions on the seating arrangement, then the arrangement is 40320

Part(b) If persons A and B must sit next to each other , then the arrangement will be 10080

Part(c)there are 4 men and 4 women and no 2 men or 2 women can sit next to each other, then the arrangements will be 1152

Part(d)there are 5 men and they must sit next to one another. then the arrangement will be 2880

Part(e)there are 4 married couples and each couple must sit together, then arrangements will be 384

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) given information 

here We have to find out the arrangements among 8 people if there are no restrictions on the seating arrangement

02

.Part(a).  there are no restrictions on the seating arrangement 

if there no restrictions then the permutation will be8!=40320

03

    Step 1 Part (b). Given information

We have to find the seating arrangements among 8 people if persons A and B must sit next to each other

04

Step 2. Part(b) .persons A and B must sit next to each other 

If A and B sit next to each other they will form a group, then there are 7 objects and the arrangement between A and B is 2!. Thus the seating arrangement will be7!2!=10080

05

    Step 1 Part (c). Given information

We have to find the seating arrangements among 8 people if there are 4 men and 4 women and no 2 men or 2 women can sit next to each other

06

Step 2. Part(c) .  there are 4 men and 4 women and no 2 men or 2 women can sit next to each other 

If 4 men and 4 women each are in a group, then there will form 2 groups and the permutation of this group is 2! and within a group of men and women arrangement will be 4!4!. Thus if there are 4 men and 4 women and no 2 men or 2 women can sit next to each other , then the arrangement will be4!4!2!=1152

07

Part (d) given information  

here We have to find out the arrangements among 8 people if there are 5 men and they must sit next to one another

08

.Part(d). there are 5 men and they must sit next to one another 

if 5 men and they must sit next to one another then this will form a group and arrangements within the group will be 5!.So there will be one men group and 3 women. thus the permutation will be5!4!=2880

09

Part (e) .Given information  

We have to find out the arrangements among 8 people if there are 4 married couples and each couple must sit together

10

.Part(e). there are 4 married couples and each couple must sit together 

If there are 4 married couples and each couple must sit together, there will form 4 pairs of couples and the permutation will be 4! The arrangements within each couple is 2! and so permutation of the given question will be4!2!2!2!2!=384
