Detailed Solution

No. of red roses = 6
No. of yellow roses = 3
Total no. of roses = 6 + 3 = 9
 The number of ways of arranging the 9 roses
in a garland =12(91)!=12×8! ways

(i) All the yellow roses are together:-
Treat all the 3 yellow roses as one unit then we have 6 red roses + 1 unit = 7 units They can be arranged in a garland in12(71)!=12×6! ways

Now the 3 yellow roses can be arranged among themselves in 3! ways

Req. no. of arrangements=12×6!×3!

(ii) No two yellow roses are together:-
First we arrange the 6 red roses in a garland in 12(61)!  ways then we can find 6 gaps among them the 3 yellow roses can be arranged in these 6 gaps in  6P3ways

Req. no. of arrangements =12×(61)!×6P3

=12×5!×6P3
