Some questions I'm having problems with:
1. Find the number of ways of seating 10 people around a table if two people must not sit together.
i understand the number of seating arrangements for 10 people around a table is 9! I'm not sure how to calculate 2 people not sitting together.
2. The number of possible different PINs with a combination of 4 numbers and 2 letters is.
I thought possibly 10!/(10-4)! X 24!/(24-2)! Would yield the answer but it didn't....
Thanks for any help
