Number of ways in which 7 green bottles and 8 blue bottles can be arranged in a row if exactly 1 pair of green bottles is side by side, is (Assume all bottles to be alike except for the colour):

$GGGGGGG/BBBBBBBB$

${\text{ One gap out of nine can be taken in }}^9{C}_1\text{ ways and }2\text{ green bottles can be placed. }$

Now, green remaining 5
Gaps remaining 8
$5\text{ gaps out of }8\text{ gaps for remaining }5{\text{ green bottles can be selected in }}^8{C}_5\text{ . }$

$\begin{array}{l}\text{ Hence, total ways }{=}^9{C_1}^8{C}_5=9\cdot \frac{\mathrm{8.7.6}}{\mathrm{1.2.3}}\\ =72.7=504\end{array}$
