(4) In how many ways 7 persons stand in a row, if three particular persons do not stand together ?
Soln. 7 persons can stand in a row in 7 ! = 5040 ways ––––––––– ( 1 )
Three particular person stand in a row in 3 ! = 6 ways.
If the group of three particular person are considered as 1 then remaining 4 means total 5 persons can stand in a row in 5 ! = 120 ways.
Total arrangement of 7 persons stand in a row ( with three particular persons stand together in a row ) = 6 120 = 720 ––––––––– ( 2 )
From equation (1) & (2), required arrangements = 5040 – 720 = 4320
(5) In how many ways 4 men and 4 women stand in a row such that no two women stand together ?
Soln. __ M __ M __ M __ M __
By above diagramme, 4 men can stand in 4 ! = 24 ways
And 4 women can stand in any 4 places from 5 blank spaces in = 120 ways
Total no. of required arrangements = 24 120 = 2880.
(6) In how many ways 3 men and 3 women stand in a row such that no two men or women stand together ?
Soln. __ M __ M __ M or M __ M __ M __
For above diagramme,
Men can stand in a row in 3 ! = 6 ways
And women in = 6 ways.
Hence, total no. of arrangements
= 6 6 = 36 ways. For above diagramme,
Men can stand in a row in 3 ! = 6 ways
And women in = 6 ways.
Hence, total no. of arrangements
= 6 6 = 36 ways
Thus, total number of required arrangements = 36 + 36 = 72
Best of Luck
