We can arrange 6 people in 6!=720 ways.

b)john is seated at the left end and Harry is seated at the right end

Seat John and Harry in their assigned places. Then, arrange the other 4 people.

c)John and Harry must be seated together.

Tie John and Harry together and pretend they are one person. They can be tied together in 2 different ways and the whole lot can be arranged in 5! ways.
 
Please post new questions as a new thread. Please show your work and reasoning so far, so the helpers can "see" where you are stuck.

Thank you! :D
