5.
a)
If the 9 persons are lining up without restriction :
The number of arrangements
= 9P9

If the males all stand together :
The 4 males form a group in row (internal permutations = 4P4).The group and the 5 females are then lining up in a row (6P6).
The number of arrangements
= 4P4 x 6P6

If the males do not all stand together :
The required number of arrangements
= 9P9 - 4P4 x 6P6
= 9! - 4! x 6!
= 345600

======
b)
If the males are separated :
Firstly arrange the 5 females in a row (5P5) as :_F_F_F_F_F_
Then put the 4 males in 4 "_" out of the 6 "_" (6P4).

The required number of arrangements
= 5P5 x 6P4
= 5! x (6!/2!)
= 43200
