First women choose the chairs from amongst the chairs 1 to 4.
Two women can be arranged in 4 chairs in `.^(4)P_(2)` ways.
In remaining 6 chairs 3 men can be arranged in `.^(6)P_(3)` ways.
`therefore` Total number of possible arrangements `= .^(4)P_(2)xx .^(6)P_(3)`
`=(4!)/(2!)xx(6!)/(3!)` ltbgt `=4xx3xx6xx5xx4`
=1440.
