Answer:

Correct Answer: 10. (5)

Solution:

  1. Here, B1B2B3B4B5

Out of 5 girls, 4 girls are together and 1 girl is separate. Now, to select 2 positions out of 6 positions between boys =6C2

4 girls are to be selected out of 5=5C4

Now, 2 groups of girls can be arranged in 2 ! ways

Also, the group of 4 girls and 5 boys is arranged in 4!×5 ! ways .

Now, total number of ways =6C2×5C4×2!×4!×5 ! [from Eqs. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)]

m=6C2×5C4×2!×4!×5!

and n=5!×6 !

mn=6C2×5C4×2!×4!×5!6!×5!=15×5×2×4!6×5×4!=5
