39. It is required to seat 5 men and 4 women in a row so that the women occupy the even places. How many such arrangements are possible?
39. As out of the total 9 seats 4 women are to be at even places we can have the following arrangement.
Seat places
| M | W | M | W | M | W | M | W | M |
Seat places | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th |
Also from this arrangement the women and men can rearrange among themselves.
Therefore, the required number of ways = 4! * 5!
= (4 * 3 * 2 * 1) * (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1)
= 24 * 120
= 2880
