Step-by-Step Solution
Rotations count as one seating, so fix Ravi in a seat and use him as the reference point. The seat directly across the table from him is then one definite seat, and Sneha must take it — exactly 1 way, with nothing to swap. The remaining 4 delegates fill the other 4 seats in 4! = 24 ways. Trap ! is the unrestricted round-table count. Trap 48 answers a different condition, 'the two must sit next to each other': gluing them into one unit gives (5 − 1)! × 2! = . Trap 720 = 6! is the straight-row count and forgets that turning the whole table gives the same seating.
Answer: C) 24
