In all there are 12 ! ways. If Mr and Mrs S are treated as a single unit, then there are 11! ways of arranging the 10 other people with Mr and Mrs S together.

But these can be Mr-Mrs or Mrs-Mr so, in fact, there are 2*11! ways in which Mr and Mrs S are together.

So the number of ways in which they are NOT together is 12! - 2*11!
