View Answer

Correct choice: D

Explanation:

Without any restriction the 10 persons can be ranked among themselves in 10! ways; but the number of ways in which A1 is above A10 and the number of ways in which A10 is above A1 make up 10! . Also the number of ways in which A1 is above A10 is exactly same as the number of ways in which A10 is above A1 .
Therefore the required number of ways =1/2(10!) .
