May/June 2009 Paper 6 Question 4 Part 3:
B = Basses
T = Tenors
BBBBTTTT or TTTTBBBB =2
The tenor standing next to basses can't be moved so shuffling remaining 3 tenors = 3!
Shuffling 4 basses = 4!
Total arrangements:
4! x 3! x 2 = 288

May/June 2008 Paper 06 Question 3 Part 1:

J = Jazz
P = Pop
C = Classical
JJJPPPPPPCC or
PJJJPPPPPCC or
PPJJJPPPPCC or
PPPJJJPPPCC or
PPPPJJJPPCC or
PPPPPJJJPCC or
PPPPPPJJJCC or
PPPPPPCJJJC or
PPPPPPCCJJJ.
Arrangements = 9
Shuffling P & C = 8!
And shuffling J = 3!
Total arrangements:
9 x 8! x 3! = 2177280
9 x 8! x 3! = 2180000 (corr. to 3 sig. figures)
