Read Solution (Total 13)
-
- 2*7!*8
Two brothers can be arranged in 2 ways.
In the middle of 2 brothers, any of 8 other person can sit, so 8 ways.
The rest 7 people can be arranged in 7! Ways.
So, 7!*2*8 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(19) No(6)
- Total number of ways = 7!*2!
- 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(3)
- answer: 2*8!
seating of two brothers in rounded table is 2 way.
fix them due to symmetry of rounded table then other 8 person seat by 8!
So 2*8! - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
- Total number of ways = 8c1*2!
- 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)
- we have to fix a position of either brother1 or brother2 so,no.of ways that bros arranged =2!
and remaining 8 are arranged in 8! ways .
total=2!*8! - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- 2 brothers seated in 2! ways
In between brothers seated in 8C1 ways and reaming will be seated in 7!ways
hence 2!*8*7! - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 2*8!
If we fix one brother's position fixed, other brother can be left/right of his brother, so number of ways = 2
The number of ways to sit for 8 persons = 8!
Overall number of ways = 2*8! - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
- 7C1*7C3*2!
- 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
- 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! - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(4)
- 2*8*7!
Two brothers 2 ways
One place between brothers 8 ways
Remaining 7 placed 7! Ways - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
- 2!*7!====because 2 brothers are fixed besides one fixed person and they can be arranged in 2! ways and the remaning 7 peoples can be arrange in 7! ways.
- 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 18!*2
Correct one - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- Let consider 2 brothers and middle person as 1 unit so total members =8
No.of ways =(n-1)!
=7!
And two brothers can be seated in 2! Ways
Total no of ways = 7!*2! - 3 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
