In how many ways can 8 people sit in a row if one particular person must sit in one of the two middle positions?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 10080

The governing idea is the multiplication principle combined with a position restriction. In a row of 8 seats, the two middle positions are positions 4 and 5. The specified person has 2 permitted choices. After that person is placed, the remaining 7 distinct people can be arranged freely in the remaining seats in 7! ways. Therefore the total number is 2 × 7! = 2 × 5040 = 10080, so option A is correct. Option B counts only one allowed middle position, option C is the unrestricted total 8!, and option D does not represent the product of the valid choices.
