In how many ways can 5 boys and 4 girls be seated around a circular table so that all girls sit together?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2880

Use the block method together with circular permutations. Treat the four girls as one block because they must occupy consecutive seats. Along with the five individual boys, this creates 6 units around the circular table. The number of circular arrangements of these 6 units is (6 − 1)! = 5!, because rotations are identical. The four distinct girls can be arranged within their block in 4! ways. Therefore the required count is 5! × 4! = 120 × 24 = 2880, so option A is correct. The other options arise from using a linear formula, omitting internal girl arrangements, or overcounting rotations.
