    Solution

    ATQ,

    Total number of ways in which all of them can seat = 10! = 36,28,800 Number of ways in which all 4 men wearing green cap sit next to each other:

    = 7! X 4! = 1,20,960

    'q' = 36,28,800 - 1,20,960 = 35,07,840

    Required sum = 3² + 5² + 0² + 7² + 8² + 4² + 0²
    = 9 + 25 + 0 + 49 + 64 + 16 + 0 = 163
