Five boys and five girls sit on a round ride. Two girls sat adjacent to each other. No two boys sit adjacent to each other. Not more than two girls sit on adjacent seats. Find the total different combinations possible.
Five boys and five girls sit on a round ride. Two girls sat adjacent to each other. No two boys sit adjacent to each other. Not more than two girls sit on adjacent seats. Find the total different combinations possible. Correct Answer The case is not possible
Given:
Five boys and five girls sit on a round ride
Two girls sat adjacent to each other
No two boys sit adjacent to each other
Not more than two girls sit on adjacent seats
Concept:
To find the total number of ways of arranging, first the selection has to be done. Then, number of ways of arranging has to be found out.
Calculation:
Two girls sat adjacent to each other
Not more than two girls sit on adjacent seats
⇒ They are both sitting adjacent to one boy
No two boys sit adjacent to each other
⇒ They both sit adjacent to a girl
Now, four adjacent seats remain and three boys remain
It is not possible to arrange these three boys such that no two boys sit adjacent to each other
Hence, zero ways
∴ This case is not possible
