๐Ÿ˜ƒ: It is a problem of a fictitious faculty. Let the number of employees be n=k+m
, Also there are three named people let's say Ann, Boris and Cain. Out of n employees there are
m regular professors. How many ways are there such that all n employees can do occupational safety in
5 different time slots if there should be at least 2 employees in each time slot? The constraint/ restriction is:

  1. after every regular professor there are two employees that aren't regular professors
    ๐Ÿค–: Okay, so I need to figure out how many ways there are to assign n employees (where n = k + m, with m being regular professors and k being others) to 5 different time slots, ensuring each slot has at least 2 employees. Additionally, there's a constraint that after every regular professor, there must be two employees who aren't regular professors. Also, there are three specific people: Ann, Boris, and Cain. Hmm, this seems a bit complex. Let me break it down step by step.

First, let's clarify the problem. We have n employees total, composed of m regular professors and k non-regular professors (since n = k + m). We need to assign all n employees to 5 time slots, each slot must have at least 2 employees. The constraint is that after every regular professor, there must be two employees that aren't regular professors. Also, Ann, Boris, and Cain are three specific employees...
