The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of seating `m` women and `n` men in a row such that no two men sit together, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Arrangement**: We have `m` women and `n` men. Since no two men can sit together, we need to arrange the women first. By arranging the `m` women, we create spaces for the men. 2. **Arranging the Women**: The `m` women can be arranged in `m!` ways. \[ \text{Ways to arrange women} = m! \] 3. **Identifying Spaces for Men**: When the `m` women are seated, they create `m + 1` potential spaces for the men. This includes: - One space before the first woman - One space between each pair of women - One space after the last woman Therefore, the total number of spaces available for the men is `m + 1`. 4. **Choosing Spaces for Men**: We need to choose `n` spaces out of the `m + 1` available spaces for the `n` men. The number of ways to choose `n` spaces from `m + 1` is given by the combination formula: \[ \text{Ways to choose spaces} = \binom{m+1}{n} = \frac{(m+1)!}{n!(m+1-n)!} \] 5. **Arranging the Men**: Once we have chosen the spaces, the `n` men can be arranged in those chosen spaces in `n!` ways. \[ \text{Ways to arrange men} = n! \] 6. **Combining the Arrangements**: Now, we combine all the arrangements together. The total number of ways to arrange the `m` women and `n` men such that no two men sit together is: \[ \text{Total arrangements} = \text{Ways to arrange women} \times \text{Ways to choose spaces} \times \text{Ways to arrange men} \] Substituting the values we calculated: \[ \text{Total arrangements} = m! \times \frac{(m+1)!}{n!(m+1-n)!} \times n! \] The `n!` in the numerator and denominator cancels out: \[ \text{Total arrangements} = m! \times \frac{(m+1)!}{(m+1-n)!} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ \text{Total arrangements} = \frac{m! \times (m+1)!}{(m-n+1)!} \] ### Final Result: Thus, the number of ways to arrange `m` women and `n` men such that no two men sit together is: \[ \frac{m! \times (m+1)!}{(m-n+1)!} \]

To solve the problem of seating `m` women and `n` men in a row such that no two men sit together, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Arrangement**: We have `m` women and `n` men.
