Question
### Seating Arrangements and Arrangements of Objects

#### 1. In how many ways can the following persons be seated in a round table?

- a. 7 persons
- b. 9 persons
- c. 10 persons
- d. 13 persons
- e. 15 persons

This question involves calculating the number of unique seating arrangements in a circular formation. For n people seated around a round table, the number of arrangements is given by the formula \((n-1)!\).

#### 2. In how many ways can the following number of keys be arranged?

- a. 6 keys
- b. 8 keys
- c. 11 keys
- d. 12 keys
- e. 17 keys

This question relates to calculating the number of permutations of a set of distinct objects (keys). For any given number of keys \(n\), the total number of permutations is given by \(n!\).

Expert Solution
Question 1

We know that,

The number of ways n persons can be seated in a round table is (n-1)!

a.

7 persons can be seated in a round table in (7-1)! ways = 6! ways = 720 ways

b.

9 persons can be seated in a round table in (9-1)! ways = 8! ways = 40,320 ways

c.

10 persons can be seated in a round table in (10-1)! ways = 9! ways = 362,880 ways

d.

13 persons can be seated in a round table in (13-1)! ways = 12! ways = 479,001,600 ways

e.

15 persons can be seated in a round table in (15-1)! ways = 14! ways = 87,178,291,200 ways
