TOMATO, Problem 120
Challenges and Thrills in Pre College Mathematics
Let us take the boys of each class as an unit.Therefore there are 3 units which can be permutated in 3! ways.
Now, class I boys can permutate among themselves in 3! ways, class II boys
in 4! And class III boys in 5! ways.
Can you now finish the problem ..........
Therefore, total number of ways is (3!3!4!*5!) = \((3!)^24!5!\)
Therefore option (c) is the correct
