As we learnt in

Rule for Circular Permutations -

(n - 1)! = Clockwise + Anticlockwise arrangement.

Ex. Seating arrangement of persons round a table. 

- wherein

DISTINCT arrangement.

 

 Number of ways = Total - when B1 and G1 sit together 

Total ways to seat 8 people on table = 7!

When B1 and G1 sit together =6!\times 2!

Number of ways =7!-2\times 6!=6!(7-2)=5\times6!

Correct option is 1.

 


Option 1)

5 \times 6!

This is the correct option.

Option 2)

6 \times 6!

This is an incorrect option.

Option 3)

  7!

This is an incorrect option.

Option 4)

5 \times 7!

This is an incorrect option.
