Correct answer

44

Step-by-step solution

55 boys with allotted roll numbers and seat numbers are seated in such a way that no one sits on the allotted seats. The number of ways of such seating arrangement is equal to the derangement of 55 boys i.e.,

=5!(1−11!+12!−13!+14!−15!)= 5 ! \left(1 - \dfrac{1}{1 !} + \dfrac{1}{2 !} - \dfrac{1}{3 !} + \dfrac{1}{4 !} - \dfrac{1}{5 !}\right)

=5!−5!+60−20+5−1= 5 ! - 5 ! + 60 - 20 + 5 - 1

=44= 44
