Homework Statement
At a conference of 5 powers,each deligation consists of 3 members. If each delegation sits together, with the leader in the middle, in how many ways ca the members be arranged at a round table?
Homework Equations
No. of ways of arranging n objects around a circle=(n-1)!
P(n,r)=n!/(n-r)!
The Attempt at a Solution
I understand that 15 people go around the table
=> no. of ways to arrange=14!
But again in their different delgations,each can be arranged 2!/(2-2)!=2ways
=> There are 2(15) ways to arrange within the delegations
.'. there are 14!(30) ways
IS THIS CORRECT?
