HERE says the answer is 151200

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i wonder how you got that answer because i got the answer 7C4*6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO i didnt get the answer it was in a book and solution was written alongside it..I just wanted to know how to get it..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its simply 10! / 4!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know abt permutations and comninations

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

I'm getting \[10C4\cdot6! ={10! \over 4!(10-4)!}\cdot6!={10!\over4!}\]you have 10C4 choices of where to put A, B, C, D, and 6! permutations of the other 6.

Look at it this way. 10 people can speak in any manner had the condition not been placed. So total ways = 10! Now we have a designated order for the four people. Hence thier arrangement needs to be removd. To do this we divide by their possible permutations = 4! So it is 10!/4!

i knw i mean i dont knw the permutation and combination not even oits basics!!!
