# From 6 different novels and 3 different dictionaries, 4 novels and 1 dictionary are to be selected and arranged in a row on the shelf so that the dictionary is always in the middle. Then, the number of such arrangements is

## Solution :

The number of ways in which 4 novels can be selected = $$^6C_4$$ = 15

The number of ways in which 1 dictionary can be selected = $$^3C_1$$ = 3

Now, we have 5 places in which middle place is fixed.

$$\therefore$$  4 novels can be arranged in 4! ways

$$\therefore$$  total number of ways = 15 $$\times$$ 4! $$\times$$ 3

= 15 $$\times$$ 24 $$\times$$ 3

= 1080
