In this method first arrange the remaining candidates
Here, remaining candidates=6
`"X0X0X0X0X0X0X"`
X:Places available for Mathematics condidates
0:Places for others
remining candidates can be arranged in 6! Ways. There are seven places available for mathematics candidates so that no two mathematics candidates are together. now, four candidates can be placed in these sevenn places
in `.^(7)P_(4)` ways.
Hence, the total number of ways`=6!xx.^(7)P_(4)=720xx840`
`=604800`
