Assume that 3 different books are single entity,
and 4 english books are single entity.
these these 2 entity can be arranged by 2! ways.
further, 3 different math books can be arranged by 3! ways in its own group

and similarly 4 math books can be arranged by 4! ways.

total no. of arrangement = 2! * 3! * 4!

= 2 * 6 * 24
= 288
