Respuesta :

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing the man needs to do

Is to arrange the books by Abraham Lincoln amongst each other first. Now the number of ways the man can arrange these books amongst each other is a total of 4! Ways. Now there are 6 books remaining and there are also six slots remaining. The number of ways to arrange these six books within theirselves would be 6!

Now the total

Number of arrangements is 6! * 4!
