There are 20 persons sitting in a circle. In that, there are
18 men and 2 sisters. How many arrangements are possible,
in which the two sisters are always separated by a man?
Read Solution (Total 11)
-
- consider the two sisters and a man together as 1 unit
now total left person are 17
and we will add the 1for two sisters and a man combination
so total 18 people now they can be arranged in 18! ways
two sisters can be interchanged
so answer will be 18!*2 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(10) No(0)
- Fix the postion of two brothers. This leaves us with 18 people.
So there 18 ways in which a person can sit between two brother. Now swap thsoe bothers we get another 18 ways
So combinations = 2 * 18.
Consider the groupe of three people a single entity
we have another 17 people left so there are 18 entities to be arranged
Around a circle. Tis can be done in (18-1)! = 17!
Total no of ways = 2 * 18 * 17! = 2 * 18! - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)
- 2 sister can be seat in 2 ways.
18 persons seat in 18! Ways
Ans 2*18! - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- Total possible ways = 20!
Two sisters always sitting "TOGETHER" possible ways = 19!*2
So therefore as given two sisters always separated by a man is = 20! - (19!*2)
=18 * 19! ways - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- Let us consider the 2 sister be 1 unit and 18 men as 18 units.
In circular permutations, n units can be arranged in (n-1)! ways.
So, 18 units of men + 1 unit of sisters can be arranged in 18! ways and both the sisters can be arranged among themselves.
Therefore, the no. of arrangements are
19! -18! 2! = 18! (19-2) = 17*18! - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- Since 2 sisters in between a man can be arranged in 2*18 ways.
And now the remaining people will be 17 + the sisters combination = 18
All together consider as 18 people and these 18 people can be arranged in 18-1!
i.e, 17! * 2 * 18 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- ans:18!x2!
posibility of 18 people arrange the order is -18!
two sister arrange the order-2!
so answer is -18!x2! - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- 2*18!
fix two sisters in a position.So the remaining 18 males can sit in 18! ways - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Let the first sister name is A. Now she can sit any where in the 20 places (Symmetrical). Now her sister B can sit to her left or right in 2 ways. Now the remaining 18 persons can be sit in 18 places in 18! ways. Total = 18! * 2
- 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 18 members can be arranged in (18-1)!
2 females can arranged in 2 ways
selection of one male candidate 18c1
ans is 18*17!*2 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 18! for men
total:18!*17*16 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
