  1. A \({ }^6 \mathrm{C}_3 \times{ }^4 \mathrm{C}_2\)
  2. B \({ }^4 \mathrm{P}_2 \times{ }^6 \mathrm{P}_3\)
  3. C \({ }^4 \dot{C}_2+{ }^4 \mathrm{P}_3\)
  4. D \({ }^4 \mathrm{P}_2+{ }^6 \mathrm{P}_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \({ }^4 \mathrm{P}_2 \times{ }^6 \mathrm{P}_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Two women can be made to sit on chairs marked 1 to 4 in \({ }^4 P_2\) ways and then three men can be seated in 6 available seats in \({ }^6 \mathrm{P}_3\) ways.
\(\therefore\) number of possible arrangements is \({ }^4 \mathrm{P}_2 \times{ }^6 \mathrm{P}_3\).
