Solution

This statement is True.

Explanation:

When 4 guests sit can one side and 3 on the other side

We have to select out of 11.5 sit one side and 6 sit on the other side.

Now, remaining selecting on one half side = `""^(18 - 4 - 3)"C"_5`

And the other half side = `""^((11 - 5))"C"_6` = 6C6

So, the total arrangements = 11C5 × 9! × 6C6 × 9!

= `(11!)/(5!6!) xx 9! xx 1 xx 9!`

= `(11!)/(5!6!) (9!)(9!)`
