Here's the Solution to this Question

(i) Let us consider the best and worst paper as one group and all other papers as different.

Number of ways of arranging 9 groups is P(9,9)=9! ways.

Best and worst paper can themselves be arranged in P(2,2)=2! ways.

Total number of arrangements with best and worst papers together is 

9!2!=725760

(ii) In how many ways can 10 examination papers be arranged without any condition?


P(10,10)=10!

Hence, total number of arrangements with the best and the worst not together is


10!-9!2!=9!(10-2)=8\cdot9!=2903040
