Can you calculate in how many ways can 7 tennis players can be seated in a circular order?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

For circular arrangement of n distinct objects, the formula is (n−1)!(n-1)!

Here, n = 7

Therefore, number of ways = (7−1)!(7-1)!

= 6!6!

= 6×5×4×3×2×16 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

= 720720

The answer is 720 ways.

(Note: We use (n-1)! instead of n! because in circular arrangement, all rotations of a particular arrangement are considered the same)
