  • A
    7147!
  • B
    898!
  • C
    7197!
  • Correct answer
    D
    848!

Solution

Given,

a,b,c are three particular speakers among the 10 speakers of a meeting.

So number of ways of arranging 10 speaker will be 10!

Now assuming all three a, b & c are sitting together, so number of ways of arranging them will be 3×8!

Now the number of ways of arranging all the 10 speakers on the dias in a row so that all the three speakers a,b,c do not sit together is Total ways - all sitting together =10!-3×8!=8!90-6=84×8!

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
