In how many ways can 7 girls and 3 boys be seated in a row so that all three boys sit together?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 241920

Apply the block method, a standard restricted-permutation technique. Since all three boys must sit together, regard them temporarily as one single block. The 7 girls plus this boys' block give 8 units, which can be arranged in 8! ways. Within the block, the 3 distinct boys can be ordered in 3! ways. By the multiplication principle, the total is 8! × 3! = 40320 × 6 = 241920. Hence option C is correct. Option A is half the correct result, option B omits the boys' internal arrangements, and option D is too small because it does not arrange all eight units properly.
