How many ways can two women and a man sit in a row of five empty chairs if the two women have to sit next to each other?
If the first woman sits at an end, there is only the seat next to her where the second woman can sit. There are 2 such chairs, giving 2 × 1 = 2 possible sittings. If the first woman doesn't sit at the end, the second woman can sit either side of her in one of 2 chairs. There are 5 - 2 = 3 such chairs, giving, 2 × 3 = 6 possible sittings. Thus there are 2 + 6 = 8 possible sitting positions of the women. For each of these there are 3 empty chairs which the man can occupy, Thus there are 8 × 3 = 24 possible ways that 2 women and 1 man can sit on a row of 5 empty chairs if the two women must sit together.
