A photographerwill arrange 6 people of 6 different heights for photograph by placing them in two rows of three so that each person in the first row is standing in front of someone in the second row.The heights of the people within each row must increase from left to right, and each person in the second row must be taller than the person standing in front of him or her.How many such arrangements of the 6 people are possible? Let's assume the 6 people are ABCDEF in ascending height, A is the shortest; F is the tallest. And the 6 positions are: 1 2 3 (2nd row) 4 5 6 (1st row) Apparently, F has to be in position 3 and A has to be in postion 4: 1 3 F A 5 6 Then B has to be in position 5 or position 1. Let's do position 1 first. B 3 F A 5 6 Where could C go? Positions 3 or 5: B C F A D E B D F A C E B E F A C D These are 3 possibilies when B is in position 1. There are 3 more possibilities when B is in position 5. Do you know what are they? -- by 会员 sdcar2010 (2011/3/26 11:34:32)
