boy boy boy, read the Q again, it asks for "smallest positive value of fi which will give u the largest possible value of that whole expression"
x = 112.6 gives you 'smallest' value of that exp,
it is x = 292.62 for which occurs the max value of the expression.
Wil never get this concept.
anyways thanks.

Can anyone please solve this?

Eight people sit in a minibus: four on sunny side and four on the shady side. If two people want to sit on opposite sides to each other and another two people want to sit on the shady side, in how many ways can this be done?

How did you get it? :p I didn't understand :p

two people want to sit on opposite side. They can do this in 2P2 ways or 2!

There are 4 seats to choose from or in other word there are 4C1 seats the first person can choose to sit on one seat of the opposite side & 4C1 choices for the second person who wishes to sit on the opposite side.

another two want to sit on shady side. Remeber one is already sitting on shady side so we have 3 seats left on shady side. So the two people can arrange themselves in 3P2 ways.

Remaining 4 have 4 choices to sit in any order. They can sit in 4P4 ways.


Therefore,
(4C1)(4C1)*2P2*3P2*4P4 = 4608
