Answer:
Mr. Wright taught 1,050 students in 25 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The number of students Mr. Wright taught = 18,
Also, every year the number of student is increased by 2,
So, in second year, the number of students = 18 + 2 = 20,
In third year = 20 + 2 = 22,
In fourth year = 22 + 2 = 24,
.............., so on,
Hence, we get an A.P. that shows the given situation,
18, 20, 22, 24, ............. till 25 years.....
First term, a = 18,
Common difference, d = 2,
And, number of terms, n = 25,
Hence, the total number of students that have been taught by him are,
Third option is correct.

a. The first part asks for how many ways they can be seated together in a row. Therefore we want the permutations of the set of 6 people, or 6 factorial,
6! = 6 5
= 30 4
= 360 2 = 720 possible ways to order 6 people in a row
b. There are two cases to consider here. If the doctor were to sit in the left - most seat, or the right - most seat. In either case there would be 5 people remaining, and hence 5! possible ways to arrange themselves.
5! = 5 4
= 20 3
= 120 1 = 120 possible ways to arrange themselves if the doctor were to sit in either the left - most or right - most seat.
In either case there are 120 ways, so 120 + 120 = Total of 240 arrangements among the 6 people if the doctor sits in the aisle seat ( leftmost or rightmost seat )
c. With each husband on the left, there are 3 people left, all women, that we have to consider here.
3! = 3 2 6 ways to arrange 3 couples in a row, the husband always to the left
