  Second class can be in any of the two adjacent class rooms of first class (2 ways)
  Third class room can be any of the 8 class rooms which are not adjacent to second class room or fourth class room (8 ways)
  
  Total distinct trips possible in this case are 12×2×8 = 192
  
  Case 2: Only second class and third class are in adjacent class rooms
  
  Second class can be in any of the 12 classrooms (12 ways)
  Third class can be in any of the the two adjacent class rooms (2 ways)
  First class and fourth class can be in any of the the 8 class rooms (which are not adjacent to second and third classes)
  
  Total distinct trips possible in this case are 12×2×8= 192
  
  Case 3: Only third class and fourth class are in adjacent class rooms
  
  Third class can be in any of the 12 classrooms (12 ways)
  Fourth and first class can be in any of the the two adjacent class rooms (2 ways)
  Second class can be in any of the the 8 class rooms (which are not adjacent to first and third classes)
