How many methods are possible for arranging 5 boys and 4 girls in such a way that no 2 girls could sit together?

• Solution given by site administrator for same puzzle ( earlier) was not correct.
  
  The arrangement can be done as below
  X..B..X..B...X..B...X..B...X..B..X
  
  where b is the position of Boys and 4 girls can be placed at any of 6 positions marked as X.
  
  so Number of arrangements will be
  
  5! * 6p4 = 120*360 = 43200

• Number of methods will be
  
  5! * 6p4
  
  as 4 girls can be placed at the locations marked by X in
  
  XBXBXBXBXBX
  
  120*6*5*4*3=120*360

• Answer: 359280
  Total no of method for arranging the 9 people(5B+4G)=9P9.
  Divide the four girls in two group where each group having two girls.
  Now....we have the situation like the following.....
  ___B___B___B___B__B___
  means we have 6 blank space in which we have to select 2 for two groups.and further more these group member can be arrange 2P2 ways.
  So total number for arranging 9 people in which two girls sitting together is 5P5*(6C2*2P2)
  
  Now total number of method for arranging the 5B and 4G such that NO 2 girls could sit together are:
  9P9 - 5P5*(6C2*2P2)=359280
