OpenStudy (otherworldly):

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

OpenStudy (jackthegreatest):

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

first one is 10!

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

@nkechi

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

no. of ways to arrange 4 boys together = 4! no. of ways to arrange 6 girls together= 6!

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

no. of ways to arrange boys and girls together in a row = 24 * 720 * 2 = 34560 ( as group of boys and group of girls can also arrange by 2 ways )

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

now we know that if there is no restriction the arrangement will be 10!=3628800

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

now we consider all the boys are together no. of ways when 4 boys are together = 7! * 4! = 120960 (assume 4 boys as a single person, then total 7 persons) now for finding that no boys are together, we will do-3628800-120960=3507840

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

in this way u find out that no girls are together
