Answer : 4. "10!/2"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 10!/2 Explanation: As A1 speaks always after A2, they can speak only in 1st to 9th places and A2 can speak in 2nd to 10 the places only when A1 speaks in 1st place A2 can speak in 9 places the remaining A3, A4, A5,...A10 has no restriction. So, they can speak in 9.8! ways. i.e when A2 speaks in the first place, the number of ways they can speak is 9.8!. When A2 speaks in second place, the number of ways they can speak is 8.8!. When A2 speaks in third place, the number of ways they can speak is 7.8!. When A2 speaks in the ninth place, the number of ways they can speak is 1.8! Therefore,Total Number of ways they can speak = (9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1) 8! = 92(9+1)8! = 10!/2
