Let us fix one person called P and the two brothers called X and Y. So let’s form a group of two brothers and one person X P Y . Hence person is fixed in middle and 2 ways to arrange two brothers X P Y and Y P X.
Now, assuming total people = 17 (17 people and 1 group of X,Y and P). So arrangement = 17!


Each person out of 18 can be fixed between the two=18

Final answer = 2∗17!∗18=2∗18!
