उत्तर

We have 6 ‘+’ signs:

This creates 7 gaps (slots) where ‘−’ signs can be placed:

  • One before the first ‘+’

  • Five between each pair of ‘+’

  • One after the last ‘+’

(7 slots in total)

We have 4 ‘−’ signs, and no two can be together.
That means each ‘−’ must go into a different slot.

Choose 4 slots out of 7 to place the ‘−’ signs.

The number of ways = `((7),(4)) = 35`

The total number of ways = 35.
