Valeria Trevino · Answer 1

240 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

There are twelve students but six group of two students.

6 labs are to be shared among these 6 groups and the students are to be assigned to the labs.

So it's like this

We'll use factorial because it's arrangement.

Number of ways = 6! * 2

Number of ways = 120*2

Number of ways = 240 ways
