Then number of digits = 6 Number of 2’s = 2
2 is repeated 3 times Number of 3’s = 2

law and order situation in their districts. In how
If we fix one man round a table
many ways can they be seated at a round table,
when two particular D.C.Os insist on sitting then their permutations = 4 P4 = 24
together? Now if women sit between the two men
Solution then their permutations = 5 P5 = 120
Number of D.C.O’s = 9 So total permutations = 24 ×120 = 2880
Let D1 and D2 be the two D.C.O’s insisting to
sit together so consider them one. Question # 11
If D1 D2 sit together then permutations In how many ways can 4 keys be arranged on a
circular key ring?
= 9 P9 = 362880 Solution
If D2 D1 sit together then permutations Number of keys = 4
= 9 P9 = 362880 Fixing one key we have permutation = 3 P3 = 6
So total permutations = 362880 + 362880 A A

Question # 8 B D D B
The Governor of the Punjab calls a meeting of
12 officers. In how many ways can they be
seated at a round table?
Solution C C
Fixing one officer on a particular seat, Since above figures of arrangement are
we have permutations of remaining 11 officers reflections of each other

one round table and the guests of other sex at the Solution
second table. Find the number of ways in which Number of beads = 6
all guests are seated. Fixing one bead, we have permutation = 5 P5
Solution = 120
9 males can be seated on a round table
= 8 P8 = 40320
And 5 females can be seated on a round table
= 4 P4 = 24
So permutations of both = 40320 × 24
= 967680 .
