  1. A \(11 ! \times 8\)
  2. B \(8 ! \times 504\)
  3. C \(7 ! \times 210\)

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(8 ! \times 84\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The total number of ways that all girls seated around a circle is 10 !. The number of ways the three sisters seated together along with the other girls is \(8 ! \times 3\) !. So, required number of ways \(= 10 !-8 ! 3 !\) \(=8 !(10 \times 9-6)\) \(=8 ! \times 84\)
