<PRE><B>Question 276489</B>
A Family composed of a father a mother and 3 kids are to be arranged in a row to have their picture taken.
a) In how many ways can this be done?
Ans: 5P5 = 5!/(5-5)! = 5!/0! = 5! = 120
-----------------------------------------------------
b) In how many ways can this be done if the father is to be on one end of the picture and the mother on the other?
Arrange father and mother: 2 ways
Arrange the three children: 3! = 6
---------------
Total arrangements = 2*6 = 12
