12 persons are to be arranged to a round table. If two particular persons among them are not to be side by side, the total number of arrangements is:
9(10!)
2(10!)
45(8!)
10!
As learnt in concept
Conditions for Circular Permutation -
The number of circular permutations of n distinct things = (n - 1)!
-
Total permutations =
when two particular persons are together, then number of arrangements= 10!*2
Thus required cases: 11!-2*10!= (11-2)* 10!
= 9*10!
