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

Which of the following coordinates exists on the line y = 3x + 1?
Natalija [7]

We are given

equation of line as

y=3x+1

we will check each options

option-A:

we can plug (3,1)

x=3 and y=1

1=3*3+1

1=10

we can see that

they are not equal

so, this is FALSE

option-B:

we can plug (-1,-2)

x=-1 and y=-2

-2=3*-1+1

-2=-2

we can see that

they are equal

so, this is TRUE

option-C:

we can plug (-3,4)

x=-3 and y=4

4=3*-3+1

4=-8

we can see that

they are not equal

so, this is FALSE

option-D:

we can plug (2,6)

x=2 and y=6

6=3*2+1

6=7

we can see that

they are not equal

so, this is FALSE

Name a rational and irrational number of 160
nignag [31]
To be pefectly honest, your question really doesn't make sense.
160 is a rational number, and there isn't any irrational number that's
related, connected, or tied to it in any particular way.
