Solution
4! × 3!
According to the question, 3 men have to be 'consecutive' means that they have to be considered as a single man.
But, these 3 men can be arranged among themselves in 3! ways.
And, the remaining 3 men, along with this group, can be arranged among themselves in 4! ways.
∴ Total number of arrangements = 4! × 3!
