Login{[(9-3)+1]=7}. Furthermore, we can arrange the two brothers in 2! ways and the answer is
7!*2!.
#Circular Permutation
because let b1,and b2 are brother.
so there are 8 possible ways to fix one person between them and brother can change
their positions in 2 ways :- 8*2!
now let b1pb2 is one person and remaining seven person.we will have to arranged in circle.
so total number of way to arranged is
=8*2!*(8-1)! (because arrangement in circle of n person is(n-1)! if clockwise and anticlockwise is not symmetric)
=2!*8!
b1pb2 and remaining 7 person .
Brothers can be arranged 2!
remaining 7members can be arranged in 7!
but in between brothers B1 __ B2 can be filled by 8 person
so, 2!*7!*8=2!8!
then n-1-2 to make the three persons next to each other (two brothers and the one between them) so it will be 10-1-2=7 so 7!
and then we won't change the place of the one between two brothers but we will change of the place of the two brothers so it will be 2!
so 7!*2!
Brothers can be arranged 2!
remaining 7members can be arranged in 7!
but in between brothers B1 __ B2 can be filled by 8 person
so, 2!*7!*8=2!8!
