Two series of a question booklet for an aptitude test are to be given to twelve students. In how many ways can the students be placed in two rows of six each, so that there should be no identical series side by side and that the students sitting one behind the other should have the same series?
Correct Answer: 6! x 6!
Explanation:
As, these are two sets of booklets, so number of booklet in each set is 6 and this can be arrange in 6! ways.
Also, the other 6 booklets or 2nd set can also be arranged in other 6 students in 6! ways.
∴ Required number of ways = 6! x 6!
