77. At a dinner party, 5 people are to be seated around a circular table. Two seating arrangements are considered different only when the positions of the people are different relative to each other. What is the total number of different possible seating arrangements for the group?
楼主对题意的理解有误啊,Two seating arrangements are considered different only when the positions of the people are different relative to each other.说的是相对位置相同的话就是同一种排法了。比如,编号为a,b,c,d,e的5个人坐在编号为1,2,3,4,5的凳子上。a1,b2,c3,d4,e5这种坐法和b1,c2,d3,e4,a5这种坐法是一种结果,因为他们的相对位置不变。先让一个人坐定,第二个人就有4种坐法,第三个人3种坐法,以此类推,就是4!如果是5个人坐在直的一排得话,答案就是5!了,楼主可以仔细比较一下
