The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the number of ways in which 10 persons can sit around a circular table such that none of them has the same neighbors in any two arrangements, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Circular Arrangements**: - When arranging people in a circle, we fix one person to eliminate the effect of rotations. This means we can arrange the remaining people around this fixed person. 2. **Fixing One Person**: - If we fix one person, we have 9 remaining persons to arrange. The number of ways to arrange these 9 persons in a line is given by \(9!\) (factorial of 9). 3. **Considering Clockwise and Anticlockwise Arrangements**: - Arrangements in a circle can be viewed in two ways: clockwise and anticlockwise. However, these two arrangements are considered the same in circular permutations. Therefore, we need to divide our total arrangements by 2 to account for this. 4. **Calculating the Total Arrangements**: - The total number of arrangements of 10 persons around a circular table is given by: \[ \text{Total arrangements} = \frac{(n-1)!}{2} = \frac{9!}{2} \] 5. **Calculating \(9!\)**: - Now, we calculate \(9!\): \[ 9! = 362880 \] 6. **Final Calculation**: - Now, we divide \(9!\) by 2: \[ \text{Total arrangements} = \frac{362880}{2} = 181440 \] Thus, the number of ways in which 10 persons can sit around a circular table such that none of them has the same neighbors in any two arrangements is **181440**.
