 let ⧫ = man , ♥=woman   ⧫♥⧫♥⧫♥⧫♥⧫♥⧫♥⧫=   3! ×C_3 ^6 ×5! ×42  p(A)= ((3!×C_3 ^6 ×7!)/(10!)) = ((6×20×7!)/(10×9×8×7!))=(1/6)

correct! but what did you think by  writing 5!×42?  to place three women into the six   places between the 7 men there are  C_3 ^6  ways, to arrange the 3 women and  7 men there are 3!×7! ways,   therefore the answer is  p(A)=((C_3 ^6 ×3!×7!)/(10!))

because at both ends have to be occupied by men then many ways 6x7 = 42 sir

Commented by mr W last updated on 28/Nov/20

but we don′t need to arrange the two  men at ends at first and then the  other five men, we can arrange all  7 men all at once. certainly the  result is the same:  7×6×5!=7!
