Alibrarian has 4 identical copies of hamlet, 3 identical copies of macbeth, 2 identical copies of romeo and juliet, and one copy of midsummer’s night dream. in how many distinct arrangements can these ten books be put in order on a shelf?

The number of distinct arrangements is 12600.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a permutation type of question and therefore the number of distinguishable permutations is:

n!/(n₁! n₂! n₃! ... nₓ!)

where

In this case

Therefore,

Number of distinct arrangements =  10!/(4! × 3! × 2! × 1!)

                                                        = 12600 ways

Thus, the number of distinct arrangements is 12600.

chad should not have included the values (1, 2) and (3, 6) because that would mean he only had half a healing card.
