There are 14 chairs and 8 people to be seated. But among the 8. three will be seated together:
So 5 people and (3) could be considered as 6 entities:
Since the order matters, we have to use permutation:
¹⁴P₆ = (14!)/(14-6)! = 2,162,160, But the family composed of 3 people can permute among them in 3! ways or 6 ways. So the total number of permutation will be ¹⁴P₆ x 3!
2,162,160 x 6 = 12,972,960 ways.
Another way to solve this problem is as follow:
5 + (3) people are considered (for the time being) as 6 entities:
The 1st has a choice among 14 ways
The 2nd has a choice among 13 ways
The 3rd has a choice among 12 ways
The 4th has a choice among 11 ways
The 5th has a choice among 10 ways
The 6th has a choice among 9ways
So far there are 14x13x12x11x10x9 = 2,162,160 ways
But the 3 (that formed one group) could seat among themselves in 3!
or 6 ways:
Total number of permutation = 2,162,160 x 6 = 12,972,960
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of questions = 20
Possible options for each question = 4
Sample space contains the total number of possible outcomes.
For every question there are 4 possible ways to select an answer. This holds true for all 20 questions. Selecting an answer for a question is independent of other questions/answers,
According to the counting principle, the total number of possible outcomes will be the product of the number of possible outcomes of individual events. Possible outcomes for each of the 20 questions is 4. This means we have to multiply 4 twenty times to find the total number of possible outcomes.
So, the number of elements in the sample space would be:
