Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Number of ways in which only one person get his own
`=""^(7)C_(1)xx("Derangement of " 6 " objects")`
`= ""^(7)C_(1)xx6!(1-(1)/(1!)+(1)/(2!)-(1)/(3!)+(1)/(4!)-(1)/(5!)+(1)/(6!))`
`=7xx265=1855`
Number of ways in which exactly two persons get their own bag
`= ""^(7)C_(2)xx("Derangement of " 5 " objects")`
`=""^(7)C_(2)xx5!(1-(1)/(1!)+(1)/(2!)-(1)/(3!)+(1)/(4!)-(1)/(5!))`
`=21xx44`
=924
Number of ways in which exactly three persons get their own bag
`=""^(7)C_(3)xx("Derangement of " 4 " objects")`
`= ""^(7)C_(3)xx4!(1-(1)/(1!)+(1)/(2!)-(1)/(3!)+(1)/(4!))`
`=35xx9`
=315
`therefore` Required number of ways =1855+924+315
=3094
