Question 1009028: Four married couples have bought eight seats in a row for a basketball game. In how many ways can they be seated if all men are to sit together and all the women are to sit together? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The men can be sat in 4! = 24 different ways.
The women can be sat in 4! = 24 different ways.
Thus there are 24 x 24 = 576 arrangements, but you have to double that because the men could be first OR the women could be first...so I'm thinking there are
1152 arrangements.
