Question

Consider three persons, A, B, and C, who are to be seated in a row of three chairs. Suppose A and B are identical twins. How many seating arrangements of these persons can there be If you are a total stranger?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to do this is to fix the position of the stranger and then arrange the two identical twins

The number of ways of knowing where the stranger will seat is 1! ways = 1 way

The number of ways of arranging the two identical twins is 2! ways = 2*1 = 2 ways

The number of sitting arrangements = 1 * 2 = 2 ways
