There are 3! ways to arrange the subjects
For each such arrangement, there are 5! * 3! * 4! ways to arrange the books.
That would be 3!3!4!5! = 103680
No idea how 360 is the answer.
-------------------------------
C(3,1)+C(3,2)+C(3,3) = 3+3+1
No idea how 12 is the answer. The coins can be picked in the following ways:
p,n,q, pn,pq,nq, pnq
The order does not matter.
