@maddy2807@ScareCrow28Bhai chk out this link...www.askiitians.com/iit-jee-alg...Very clear and nice soln...
Bhai the statement " each has lowest no of students possible" is confusing i guess.. because in the soltion it has distributed full capacity to 4 restaurants..and then chosen lowest possible for only two left.. Anyways..the solution says so..

Make linear arrangements
select 10 out of 20 and arrange = 20P10
Now 1 circular arrangement implies 10 different linear arrangement
total circular= 20P10/10
if clockwise anticlockwise are same then 20P10/20

@Torque024
Nop... Clockwise and anticlockwise would be same...

U can flip the necklace... Flip it... Clockwise will then be anticlockwise...

Necklace of 10 beads has to be formed only...
Ram is attending a disco party. Upon arriving, each of the K party members including ram puts his or her coat on the coatrack. After party, the first person to leave grabs a coat at random from the coatrack. As the rest of the members leave, they try to grab their own coat, but if their coat has already been taken, they take someone else's coat at random from the rack. Ram is the last person to leave the party. What is the probability that ram will go home with his own coat?
