The k-of-r-out-of-n circular reliability system, k ≤ r ≤ n, consists of n components that are arranged in a circular fashion. Each component is either functional or failed, and the system functions if there is no block of r consecutive components of which at least k are failed. Show that there is no way to arrange 47 components, 8 of which are failed, to make a functional 3-of-12-out-of-47 circular system.
