Total number of cases $$=$$ $$5$$!Since $$S1$$ gets seat $$R1$$ and none of the other gets previously allotted seat, we have derangement of $$4$$ students.So, required $$probability=4$$!$$1$$−$$11$$!$$+12$$!−$$13$$!$$+14$$!$$5$$!$$=9120=340Event$$ $$T1$$∩$$T2$$∩$$T3$$∩$$T4$$ : No two students with consecutive index sit adjacent.So, we have following possible arrangements:$$13524$$,$$1425324135$$,$$24153$$,$$2531431425$$,$$31524$$,$$35142$$,$$3524141352$$,$$42531$$,$$4251352413$$,$$53142Thus$$, favorable cases $$=$$ $$14Hence$$, required $$probability=14120=760$$
