assume two particular paper as one paper,so total number of ways to arrenge this=(12-1)!=11!,now these two paper can be arrenged in 2 ways......without any restriction paper can be arrenged in 12! ways.
so number ways is=12!-2.11!=10.11!ways

firstly we find how many all arrangement r possible of 12 papers ie=12!
now when best n worst papr always comes together ie=11!*2!
then when best n worst papr r never comes together=all arrangement-worst n best always comes together
=12!-11!2!
=399168000

here are 5 letters and five addressed envelopes. the number of ways in which all the letters can be put in wrong envelopes is

Total Number of ways = 5! = 120

The formula for the derangement can be used directly. The number of derangements is

n! (1/2!−1/3!+1/4!+…+(−1)ⁿ/n!)

Here n = 5

5 ! ( 1/2! - 1/3! + 1/4! - 1/5!)

= 120 ( 1/2 - 1/6 + 1/24 - 1/120)

= 60 - 20 + 5 - 1

= 65 - 21

= 44
So probabilty = 44/120

First assume two papers as one paper... So that remaining papers arranged in 11! Ways . And two papers so, 11!*2
So , we have 13 spaces between 12 papers so, the two papers arranged in 12! Ways ... So finally we can arrange that 2 papers in
12!-11!*2
