Since, we have to find arrangements means we will use permutation

So, the required arrangement will be:

Now, using:

Here, n= 16 and r=4 on substituting the values we get:

Cancel out the common term that is 12! we get:

After simplification we get: 43680

Hence, 43680 different arrangements are possible.
