A library has two books each having three copies and three other books each having two copies. In how many ways can all these books be arranged in a shelf so that copies of the same book are not separated ?

- 120
- 180
- 160
- 140
Correct Option: A
Regarding all copies of the same book as one book, we have only 5 books. These 5 books can be arranged in 5! ways. But all copies of the same book being identical can be arranged in only one way.
∴ Required number = 5! x 1! x 1! x 1! x 1! = 120
