1. See the formula to find no. Of persons to be seated on round table is (n-1)!. Here , any two persons should always sit together , so consider these two as one object , so we are left with 7-1 = 6 objects. Now according to formula we have (6-1)! = 120.
2. The formula to find out no. Of permutations /arrangements when any one object is always included is (n-1)P(r-1).. Here n=10 , r=4.. So we have 9P3=9!/(9-3)!=504

anwer given in module for 1st and 2nd question are as follow

Q1 240

Q2 2016

For 1. See we got 120 . Now the two boys themselves can sit in 2! Ways so we have 120 * 2 = 240.
