In how many ways can 6 distinct mathematics books and 4 distinct science books be arranged in a row so that all science books are together but mathematics books need not be together?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 120960

Apply the block method. Since all four distinct science books must be consecutive, treat them as one science block. This block together with the six distinct mathematics books gives 7 units, which can be arranged in 7! ways. The four science books can be ordered inside their block in 4! ways. The mathematics books are not required to be together, so they remain separate units and no additional block restriction is imposed on them. Therefore the total is 7! × 4! = 5040 × 24 = 120,960. Option A is correct. Multiplying by 6! would incorrectly force the mathematics books into a block or count an extra internal arrangement already represented by their separate positions.
