Solution(By Examveda Team)
First let us consider the 28 unoccupied seats. They create 29 slots - one on the left of each seat and one on the right of the last one. We can place the 7 friends in any of these 29 slots i.e. 29P7 ways.This Question Belongs to Arithmetic Ability >> Permutation And Combination
I believe the better explanation is there should be a gap between each friend......
which means a min of 6 empty seats between them if they are sitting closest to each other....like X_X_X_X (X=occupied seat, _ = empty seat )......
This leaves 29 available seats. 7 friends can occupy them 29P7 ways
