• In 5 students boy Shyam already occupy the postion 2nd.
  so we need to arrange remaining 4 postions. such that Anitha,Geetha both comes adjecent/together.
  _ shyam _ (AG)
  _ _(AG)= 3! & A,G can becomes like(AG)/(GA)= 2! arrangements
  = 3!*2! (ans E)

• since shyam has already taken one spot, number of positions left is 4...consider (geeta and anita ) as one block...so total number of positions reduced to 3...it can be filled in 3! ways. again the one block considered can be arranged in 2! ways...hence answer is...3!*2!
