Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is 44
Number of seating arrangements
\(= 5! \left( 1- \frac{1}{1!} + \frac{1}{2!} + \frac{1}{3!} + \frac{1}{4!} + \frac{1}{5!}\right)\)
\(= 5! \left(\frac{120-120+60-20+5-1}{120} \right)\)
\(= 44\)

Concepts Used:
Permutations and Combinations
Permutation:
Permutation is the method or the act of arranging members of a set into an order or a sequence.
- In the process of rearranging the numbers, subsets of sets are created to determine all possible arrangement sequences of a single data point.
- A permutation is used in many events of daily life. It is used for a list of data where the data order matters.
Combination:
Combination is the method of forming subsets by selecting data from a larger set in a way that the selection order does not matter.
- Combination refers to the combination of about n things taken k at a time without any repetition.
- The combination is used for a group of data where the order of data does not matter.
