There are 120 ways in which 5  riders and 5 horses can be arranged.

We have,

5 riders and 5 horses,

Now,

We know that,

Now,

Using the arrangement formula of Permutation,

i.e.

The total number of ways ^nN_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!},

So,

For n = 5,

And,

r = 5

As we have,

n = r,

So,

Now,

Using the above-mentioned formula of arrangement,

i.e.

The total number of ways ^nN_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!},

Now,

Substituting values,

We get,

^5N_5 = \frac{5!}{(5-5)!}

We get,

The total number of ways of arrangement = 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120,

So,

There are 120 ways to arrange horses for riders.

Hence we can say that there are 120 ways in which 5  riders and 5 horses can be arranged.
