(a) How many ways are there to sit the committee in a row at a meeting if the students must sit together by grade?
(b) How many ways are there to sit the committee in a row at a meeting if the freshman, sophomores, and juniors must sit by grade, but the seniors can sit wherever they want?

A) Consider that each grade is one unit so 

4! = 24 ways

B) Consider freshman, sophomores, and juniors as one unit, but keep don't consider the seniors seperate

then it would be 5! = 120

 

A) 24 ways

B) 120 ways
