Let \(x\) denote the number of ways of arranging \(m\) boys and \(m\) girls in a row so that no two boys sit together. If \(y\) and \(z\) give the number of ways of arranging \(m\) boys and \(m\) girls in a row and around a circular table respectively so that boys and girls sit alternately, then \(x: y: z=\)

  1. A \(m+1: m: m-1\)
  2. B \(3: 2: 1\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((m+1) m: 2 m: 1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Number of ways of arranging \(m\) boys and \(m\) girls in a row such that no two boys sit together, i.e. \(x=(m+1) ! m !\) Number of ways of arranging \(m\) boys and \(m\) girls in a row such that boys and girls sit alternately, i.e. \(y=m ! \times m ! \times 2 !\) Number of…
