In how many ways 4 mathematics books, 3 physics books, 2 chemistry books and 1 biology book can be arranged on a shelf so that all books of the same subjects are together. |
|
Answer» Number of maths book = 4 Number of physics books = 3 Number of chemistry books = 2 Number of biology books = 1 Since we want books of the same subjects together, we have to treat all maths books as 1 unit, all physics books as 1 unit, all chemistry books as 1 unit and all biology books as 1 unit. Now total number of units = 4 They can be arranged in 4! ways. After this arrangement. 4 maths book can be arranged in 4! ways 3 physics book can be arranged in 3! ways 2 chemistry book can be arranged in 2! ways and 1 biology book can be arranged in 1! way ∴ Total Number of arrangements 4! 4! 3! 2! = 6912 |
