    Solution:

    Given: 8 beads of different colours string as necklace 

    To find: total no. of ways. 

    By using formula n! = 1.2.3........(n-1) . n 

    We use permutation for n no of beads - No of beads arranged in (n-1)!2  ways. 

    Here, 8 different beads can be arranged in circular form in (8-1)!  = 7!  ways. Since there is no distinction between the clockwise and anti clockwise arrangement. So the required number of arrangements 

    =7!2= 2520 

    Hence option (a) 2520 is correct.
