Question
In how many ways 4 mathematics books, 3 physics books, 2 chemistry books and 1 biology book can be arranged on a shelf so that all books of the same subjects are together
Advertisements
Solution
Number of maths book = 4
Number of physics books = 3
Number of chemistry books = 2
Number of biology books = 1
Since we want books of the same subjects together
We have to treat all maths books as 1 unit
All physics books as 1 unit
All chemistry books as 1 unit
And all biology books as 1 unit.
Now the total number of units = 4
They can be arranged in 4! ways.
After this arrangement.
4 maths book can be arranged in 4! ways
3 physics book can be arranged in 3! ways
2 chemistry book can be arranged in 2! ways
And 1 biology book can be arranged in 1! way
∴ Total Number of arrangements 4! 4! 3! 2! = 6912
