    E 108 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total number of arrangements = 5! = 120 ways
    If we treat the 2 robots as one group, arrangements among themselves = 2! = 2 ways Total arrangements = 120/2 =┬а 60 ways
    Number of arrangements of remaining 4 items = 4! = 24 ways
    Therefore, required number of ways = 60 тАУ 24 = 36 ways
