In how many ways can (6) boys and (4) girls be seated in a row so that all girls sit together?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (120960)

Use the block method because the four girls must occupy consecutive seats. Treat all four girls as one combined block. This block together with the six distinct boys gives 7 distinct units, which can be arranged in 7! ways. The four girls can then be arranged internally within their block in 4! ways. By the multiplication principle, the total is 7! × 4! = 5040 × 24 = 120,960. Therefore option B is correct. Counting 10! would ignore the together condition, while omitting 4! would treat the girls as indistinguishable. The other numerical options arise from such incorrect arrangements or arithmetic errors.
