Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`because`16 horses=10 horses+(A,B,C,D,E,F)
`therefore`The number of ways`=.^(10)C_(3)xx`(Number of ways of ways of choosing out of A,B,C,D,E,F, so that AD,BE and CD are not together)
`=.^(10)C_(3)xx`(One from each of pairs AD,BE,CF)
`=.^(10)C_(3)xx.^(2)C_(1)xx.^(2)C_(1)xx.^(2)C_(1)=960`
