8 chairs are numbered from 1 to 8. Two women first choose two chairs from those marked 1 to 4 and 3 men selects 3 chairs from the remaining. Find the number of possible arrangements
Read Solution (Total 8)
-
- 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 are 8 chairs.
two women first choose two chairs from 1,2,3,4
in 4p2 ways = 12 different ways
3 men selects 3 chairs from the rest 6 chairs = 6p3 = 6*5*4 = 120.
Total number of possible arrangement = 12*120 = 1440. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(57) No(4)
- shouldn't it be permutation because order matters?? shouldn't it be 4P2 * 6P3 ??

- two women first choose chair in 2! way
and now 6 seats are empty so 6 man can choose in 6! way
2!*6!=1440 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(1)
- ans is 5/28
(4c2+4c3)/8c5 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(11)
- from 8 chairs
two women choose 2 chairs from 4 in 4P2 ways
reamining 6, 3 men selects 3 chairs in 6p3 ways
total arrangements=12*120=1440 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- 4C2*4C3=24
