Detailed Solution

(i) Ten persons A1,A2,........A10 can be arraranged along a row such that
A1,A2,A3 sit together is
consider (A1,A2,A3) as one unit A1,A2,A3,A4,A5......A10 can be arranged  in 8! ways and A1,A2,A3 can be rearranged in 3! ways
total no.of permutations = 8! x 3!
(ii) A1,A2A10 are arranged such that A1,A2,A3 in specified order.
consider 10 places and arranges A4,A5......A10 in P7  10 ways .
now A1,A2,A3 can be arrange in rearrange 3 places in one ways
total no.of permutations= P7  10×1
(iii) A1,A2,A3 sit togeter in specified order 
consider (A1,A2,A3) as one unit arrange A1,A2,A3,A4,A5......A10 in 8! ways 
A1,A2,A3 are in one specified order 
no.of permutations =8! x 1 = 8!
(iv)  A2,A3,A4 sit always after A1 consider 10 places arrange  A5,A6 ............A10 in P6  10 ways
In the rearranging 4 places first place is gives ti A1 then A2,A3,A4 can be arranged in 3! ways
no.of permutations =   P6  10×3!
