8.The number of ways of arranging 8 EamcetQuestion papers so that best and worst nevercome together is1) 30240 2) 21600 3) 5040 4) 4320

Answer»

8 papers can be arranged in 8! ways without any restrictions.

Now we can find the number of arrangements where the best and worst paper always come together.For this, group the best and worst papers and consider as a single paper.

Then there are 7 papers and these can be arranged in 7! ways.

Best paper and worst paper which were grouped, can be arranged among themselves in 2! ways

Therefore, number of arrangements where the best and worst papers always come together = 7!×2!

Number of ways in which 8 papers can be arranged where best and the worst paper do not occur together= 8! - (7! × 2!) = 7!(8-2) = 7! × 6

= 5040*6

= 30240
