You work as an assistant for a local musical theatre group, the Main Street Theatre Company. The company is putting on a production of Les Misérables this year, and they need your help planning it.

All the roles have now been cast, and the lead actors playing the following parts are gathered around a large circular table for their first read: Jean Valjean, Inspector Javert, Thénardier, Enjolras, Marius, Fantine, adult Cosette, adult Éponine, and Madame Thénardier. It is your job to seat these 9 actors, the 3 producers, and the director around the table.


In Les Misérables, Monsieur Thénardier and Madame Thénardier are married, and during Act 2, Cosette and Marius become married. If the Thénardiers must next to one another, and Cosette and Marius must sit next to one another, but there are no restrictions on how the others can sit, how many different ways can you seat the 13 people around the circular table?

Respuesta :

There are 14,515,200 ways to arrange the people around the table

How to determine the number of ways?

The given parameters are:

People = 13

Thénardiers = 2 actors

Cosette and Marius = 2 actors

If the married actors must seat together, then the actors must be grouped as 1.

The 2 actors can be arranged in 2! ways each

Now, there are 9 individuals remaining

The 9 people can be arranged in 9! ways

So, the number of ways is

Ways= 2! * 2!* 9!

Evaluate

Ways =14,515,200

Hence, there are 14,515,200 ways to arrange the people around the table
