We wish to count the number of seat‐assignments of 8 students (labeled 1 to 8) into 10 fixed seats (arranged as 2 rows of 5) under two restrictions:
- The 2 empty seats must be “next to each other” (i.e. share a common side).
- Students 1, 2, and 3 must “sit next to each other” (i.e. occupy 3 consecutive seats in a row).
A good way to attack the problem is to first choose the positions for the empty pair (which forces the pattern of occupied seats in each row) and then count, for that configuration, how many assignments of the 8 students (in the remaining seats) give a block of 1,2,3 in at least one row. Step 1. Count the Empty‐Seat ConfigurationsBecause seats are in a 2×5 grid and “adjacent” means sharing an edge (not diagonally), the possibilities are: - Horizontal pairs:
– In each row (row1 and row2) there are 4 adjacent pairs.
– Total horizontal pairs = 4 + 4 = 8. - Vertical pairs:
– In each of the 5 columns, the seat in row1 is adjacent vertically to the seat in row2.
– Total vertical pairs = 5.
Thus, overall there are 8 + 5 = 13 configurations for the empty seats. Step 2. Count Arrangements (Per Empty–Seat Pattern) with Students 1,2,3 TogetherOnce the two empty seats are fixed, the 8 remaining seats are assigned to 8 students in 8! ways. However, we must “favour” only those assignments in which students 1,2,3 appear consecutively in the natural left‐to‐right order in whichever row they lie. It is easiest to break into two types: A. Horizontal Empty PairHere the empty pair is in one row. (There are 8 such configurations; 4 in row1 and 4 in row2. By symmetry, we can count one set and double it.) Suppose the empty pair is in row1. Then: - Row1 (5 seats) has 2 empty seats and so 3 occupied seats. But depending on where the empty pair is placed, the 3 occupied seats might or might not form one contiguous block.
– If the empty pair is at the extreme (columns 1–2 or 4–5), the occupied seats are all consecutive (a block of 3).
– If the empty pair is in the “middle” (columns 2–3 or 3–4), the 3 occupied seats are split (one block of 1 and one block of 2) and cannot host 3 in a row. - Row2 always has all 5 seats occupied (thus a full contiguous block).
Now, when placing students: - If a row has a contiguous block of LLL seats (with L≥3L\ge3L≥3), then the number of ways to “fit” the triple 1,2,3 consecutively in that row is
number of starting positions in that block)×3! .(\text{number of starting positions in that block})\times 3! \,.(number of starting positions in that block)×3!.For a block of length LLL the number of positions is L−3+1L-3+1L−3+1.
Let’s see: - In a row with a block of 3 (i.e. L=3L=3L=3): There is 3−3+1=13-3+1=13−3+1=1 way and 1×6=61\times 6 = 61×6=6 orders.
- In a row with a block of 5 (i.e. L=5L=5L=5): There are 5−3+1=35-3+1=35−3+1=3 starting positions so 3×6=183\times 6 = 183×6=18 orders.
Now, analyze the two subcases (assuming the horizontal empty pair is in row1): When row1’s occupied seats form a contiguous block (extremal placement):
– Row1: 3 consecutive seats ⇒ 6 ways to seat {1,2,3} there.
– Row2: 5 consecutive seats ⇒ 18 ways.
For the case “triple in row1”, once those 3 positions are fixed, the remaining 5 students fill the other 5 seats in 5!=1205! = 1205!=120 ways; similarly for row2.
So the favorable count if the triple appears in row1 is: 6×120=7206\times 120 = 7206×120=720, and if in row2: 18×120=216018\times 120 = 216018×120=2160.
Total favorable for such a configuration = 720+2160=2880720+2160=2880720+2160=2880. When row1’s occupied seats do not yield a block of 3 (middle placements):
– Row1: Cannot host the triple.
– Only row2 can, giving 2160 favorable assignments as above.
In row1 there are 4 horizontal placements. Two of these (extremal positions) yield 2880 each and the other two yield 2160 each. Thus for row1 empty pair the total favorable count is: 2×2880+2×2160=5760+4320=10080 .2\times 2880 + 2\times 2160 = 5760 + 4320 = 10080\,.2×2880+2×2160=5760+4320=10080.By symmetry, the same count holds when the horizontal empty pair is in row2.
Thus, total favorable assignments over all horizontal configurations = 2×10080=201602\times 10080 = 201602×10080=20160. B. Vertical Empty PairHere the empty seats are in the same column (one in each row). Then: - Row1 and Row2: Each row loses 1 seat. In a row of 5, an empty seat in column jjj divides the row into segments. For a vertical empty pair in column jjj, the occupied seats in that row are in:
- If j=1j=1j=1 or j=5j=5j=5: The 4 occupied seats form one contiguous block (length 4).
- If j=2j=2j=2 or j=4j=4j=4: There is a block of 1 and a block of 3.
- If j=3j=3j=3: The row splits into two blocks of 2 (neither long enough for 3).
For a contiguous block: - In a block of 4, the number of ways to seat {1,2,3} consecutively is (4−3+1)×6=2×6=12 (4-3+1)\times 6 = 2\times6 = 12(4−3+1)×6=2×6=12.
Thus, for a given row in a vertical configuration: - If j=1j=1j=1 or 555: The row offers 12 ways.
- If j=2j=2j=2 or 444: Only the block of 3 (if it exists) works, giving 6 ways.
- If j=3j=3j=3: Zero ways.
Since the triple must be all in one row, we can have it in row1 or row2. Then for a given vertical configuration, if the counts for a row are XXX (for row1) and YYY (for row2), the favorable count is: (X+Y)×(arrangements for the remaining 5 students) .(X+Y)\times (\text{arrangements for the remaining 5 students})\,.(X+Y)×(arrangements for the remaining 5 students).In each row the remaining seats (after placing the triple in that row) plus the 4 seats in the opposite row give 5 seats in total for the remaining students, so 5!=1205! = 1205!=120. Now, for each column jjj: - j=1j=1j=1 or 555: Each row gives 12 so total = 24×120=288024\times 120=288024×120=2880.
- j=2j=2j=2 or 444: Each row gives 6 so total = 12×120=144012\times 120=144012×120=1440.
- j=3j=3j=3: Total = 000.
Summing over the 5 vertical configurations: 2880(j=1)+1440(j=2)+0(j=3)+1440(j=4)+2880(j=5)=8640 .2880 (j=1) + 1440 (j=2) + 0 (j=3) + 1440 (j=4) + 2880 (j=5) = 8640\,.2880(j=1)+1440(j=2)+0(j=3)+1440(j=4)+2880(j=5)=8640. Step 3. Combine the CasesTotal favorable assignments over all 13 empty–seat configurations is: Horizontal favorable+Vertical favorable=20160+8640=28800 .\text{Horizontal favorable} + \text{Vertical favorable} = 20160 + 8640 = 28800\,.Horizontal favorable+Vertical favorable=20160+8640=28800. Final AnswerThus, the number of arrangements in which students 1, 2, and 3 sit next to each other (in a row) and the two empty seats are adjacent is 28,800.
This detailed breakdown shows how to account for the different empty seat placements and the available contiguous seat segments for the triple.

We will assume that “next to each other” means “consecutive in the same row.” In other words, for the trio (students 1, 2, 3) they must occupy three consecutive seats in one row, and for the empty seats, the two must be in two adjacent seats in the same row.
Let’s describe one way to count the valid arrangements. Step 1. Count the “trio‐block” placementsThere are 2 rows of 5 seats. In any given row the only possible blocks of 3 consecutive seats are: - Columns 1–3,
- Columns 2–4, and
- Columns 3–5.
That gives 3 blocks per row and a total of 6 possible blocks overall. Step 2. Count the valid placements for the empty pairSince the empty seats must be adjacent in the same row, note that in each row there are 4 possible horizontal adjacent pairs (seats 1–2, 2–3, 3–4, and 4–5). However, if the trio block is in the same row, some of these pairs might “overlap” the block and thus cannot be used because that block must be occupied entirely by students 1, 2, and 3. Let’s consider a chosen trio block in a particular row: - If the trio occupies columns 1–3:
In that row the only horizontal empty pair that does not intersect the block is the one in columns 4–5 (1 possibility).
In the other row, all 4 horizontal pairs are available.
So total for this case: 1 + 4 = 5. - If the trio occupies columns 2–4:
In the same row every horizontal pair intersects the block (since pairs are {1–2, 2–3, 3–4, 4–5} and each touches at least one column from 2 to 4).
In the other row all 4 pairs are available.
So total: 0 + 4 = 4. - If the trio occupies columns 3–5:
In the same row the only available empty pair is the one in columns 1–2 (1 possibility).
In the other row, again 4 pairs are available.
So total: 1 + 4 = 5.
Thus for a trio block in a row, the number of choices for the empty pair is: - 5 choices if the block is (1–3) or (3–5),
- 4 choices if the block is (2–4).
In each row there are 2 blocks giving 5 choices and 1 block giving 4 choices; that is a total of 5 + 4 + 5 = 14 choices per row. With 2 rows, we have 14 + 14 = 28 possible ways to choose (trio block, empty pair) so that the trio’s block is completely free (none of its seats is empty) and the empty pair is adjacent in one row. Step 3. Arrange the students- The trio (students 1, 2, 3) can be arranged in the chosen block in 3! = 6 ways.
- The remaining 5 students (from the 8) will occupy the other 5 seats (remember there are 10 seats in total with 2 empty ones) in 5! = 120 ways.
Final CountMultiply the number of ways to choose the positions (28) by the number of arrangements of students in the trio (6) and the remaining students (120): Total arrangements=28×6×120=28×720=20160.\text{Total arrangements} = 28 \times 6 \times 120 = 28 \times 720 = 20160.Total arrangements=28×6×120=28×720=20160.
Thus, the number of arrangements is 20,160

[11:48, 16/02/2025] ChatGPT: We are asked to find the number of ways to arrange 8 students in two rows of 5 seats, subject to the following conditions:
1. Students 1, 2, and 3 must sit next to each other.
2. The two empty seats must be next to each other.
Step 1: Treat Students 1, 2, and 3 as a block
Since students 1, 2, and 3 must sit next to each other, we can treat them as a single "block" that occupies 3 consecutive seats. This simplifies our problem by reducing the arrangement of these students to just placing the block of 3 students and then arranging the other students around them.
Step 2: Determine positions for the block
Since the arrangement is in two rows of 5 seats, we have 10 total seats, two of which must remain empty. Since the 3 students need to sit next to each other, the block of 3 students can only occupy seats that are adjacent.
To find the possible positions for the block:
- The 3-seat block can start in any of the following positions:
- Seat 1 (then the block occupies seats 1, 2, and 3)
- Seat 2 (then the block occupies seats 2, 3, and 4)
- Seat 3 (then the block occupies seats 3, 4, and 5)
- Seat 6 (then the block occupies seats 6, 7, and 8)
- Seat 7 (then the block occupies seats 7, 8, and 9)
- Seat 8 (then the block occupies seats 8, 9, and 10)
[11:49, 16/02/2025] ChatGPT: This gives us 6 possible positions for the block.
Step 3: Place the empty seats
Next, we must place the two empty seats next to each other. For the empty seats to be next to each other, they must occupy two adjacent seats.
- If the block occupies seats 1, 2, and 3, the two empty seats must occupy seats 9 and 10.
- If the block occupies seats 2, 3, and 4, the empty seats must occupy seats 9 and 10.
- If the block occupies seats 3, 4, and 5, the empty seats must occupy seats 9 and 10.
- If the block occupies seats 6, 7, and 8, the empty seats must occupy seats 1 and 2.
- If the block occupies seats 7, 8, and 9, the empty seats must occupy seats 1 and 2.
- If the block occupies seats 8, 9, and 10, the empty seats must occupy seats 1 and 2.
Therefore, there are two sets of valid positions for the empty seats: seats 9 and 10 or seats 1 and 2.
Step 4: Arrange the students
After placing the block of students 1, 2, and 3, we need to arrange the remaining 5 students (students 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) in the remaining 5 seats.
The number of ways to arrange these 5 students in the remaining seats is 5! (5 factorial), which is:
5! = 120
Step 5: Account for the arrangements of the block
[11:49, 16/02/2025] ChatGPT: The 3 students within the block (students 1, 2, and 3) can be arranged in 3! ways. Since 3! = 6, there are 6 ways to arrange students 1, 2, and 3 within their block.
Step 6: Calculate the total number of arrangements
For each of the 6 possible block positions, and for each of the 2 possible empty seat placements, we have:
6 positions for the block× 2 positions for the empty seats× 6 ways to arrange students 1, 2, and 3× 120 ways to arrange the other students
Thus, the total number of arrangements is:
6 × 2 × 6 × 120 = 8640
Final Answer:
The total number of possible arrangements is 8640.
