Six people A, B, C, D, E, and F, have decided to go to the movies. The night before, E and F had an argument about statistics and cannot sit next to one another. How many different ways can A, B, C, D, E, and F sit in a row such that E and F DO NOT sit next to each other?”
Number of ways that six people sit in a row = 6! = 720
(Consider E and F one entiity & 2! Ways for E and F sitting )
Number of ways E and F sit to gather =2! * 5!
Number of ways can A,B,C,D,E and F sit in a row such that E and F do not sit to each other
= 6! - (2! * 5!)
= 720 - 240
= 480

Suppose you have six different books on a shelf with labels A, B, C, D, E, and F. (a) In how many different ways can you arrange the books on the shelf? In other words, how many distinct linear permutations of these are possible? (b) In how many different ways can you arrange the books on the shelf if books A, B, and C are grouped together? For example, EBACFD would be an acceptable arrangement, but EBAFDC would not be...
