The number of ways of forming a queue of 44 boys and 33 girls such that all the girls are not together, is:

Options

  1. A50405040
  2. B30503050
  3. C34103410
  4. D43204320

Correct answer

D. 43204320

Step-by-step solution

Total number of boys =4= 4

Total number of girls =3= 3

Total number of children =7= 7

Total number of ways to arrange 77 children in a queue =7!=5040= 7! = 5040

To find the number of ways where all 33 girls are together, consider the 33 girls as a single unit.

Total number of units to arrange =4= 4 boys +1+ 1 unit of girls =5= 5 units.

Number of ways to arrange these 55 units =5!=120= 5! = 120

Number of ways to arrange the 33 girls among themselves =3!=6= 3! = 6

Total number of ways where all girls are together =5!×3!=120×6=720= 5! \times 3! = 120 \times 6 = 720

Number of ways such that all the girls are not together =Total ways−Ways where all girls are together= \text{Total ways} - \text{Ways where all girls are together}

=5040−720=4320= 5040 - 720 = 4320

Answer: 43204320
