Detailed Solution

As a subset with less than 3 chairs cannot contain 3 adjacent chair, these are only 10
sets of 3 chairs so that they are all 3 adjacent there are 10 subsets of 4 chairs where all r
adjacent and
10 x 5 =50, where there are only 3
If there are 5chairs,10 have all 5 adjacent 10 x 4 = 40 have 4 adjacent and 
10x5C2=100 have
3 adjacent with 6 chairs in the subset
10 have all 6 adjacent, 10 x 3= 30 have 5 adjacent 10×4C2=60 have 4 adjacent 10×32=15 have 2 groups of 3 adjacent chairs and 10× 5C23=70 have 1
group of 3 adjacent chairs. All possible subsets with more than 6 chairs have at least 1
group of 3 adjacent.
So adding all it is total= 581
