Freddie has 6 toy cars and 3toy buses, all different. He chooses 4 toys to take in holiday with him?

Find the number of arrangements if there is a car at each end of the line and no buses are next to each other

The answer is 43200 by using 6!x3!x10
I got 288 by using 4!x2!x3! since 2 cars are fixed at each end, and only 4cars left and 3 buses are free to arranged. 
Initially I used 6!x3! to solve the question but I think it seems wrong as 2 cars are already fixed at each end of the line
Anyone can explain it to me? Thanks

The statement that "He chooses 4 toys to take in holiday with him" is redundant.

C: stands for a car
B: stands for a bus

Firstly, arrange the 6 cars as the C_C_C_C_C_C (₆P₆).  "_" stands for the space between two cars.

Then, place the 3 buses in 3 spaces out of the 5 spaces (₅P₃).  This ensures that there is a car at each end of the line and no buses are next to each other.

No. of arrangements
= ₆P₆ × ₅P₃
= 6! × [5! / (5 - 3)!]
= 6! × (5! / 2!)
= 6! × (5× 4 × 3! / 2!)
= 6! × (10 × 3!)
= 6! 3! 10
= 43200

There are many steps because I want to show you that it is 6! × 3! 10. The steps could be simplified as:

No. of arrangements
= ₆P₆ × ₅P₃
= 6! × [5!/2!]
= 43200

By the way, I can also tell everyone that they want a tire pressure sensor like this. You don't have to contact experts in this situation and then solving those problems would be much easier. I also think I can learn this quickly if, of course the thorough and careful review of the knowledge from this website https://avtotachki.com/en/datchiki-davleniya-v-shinah-kakie-vybrat/ , the sensors are defined here and very well, and so I think I can learn this very quickly and easily. I hope I can really help. I think it will be useful for everyone now and such sensors will be definitely needed by many people, it's just that many motorists, even experienced ones don't know about them and it's a very big mistake for them, you need to know more about your car and what it is made of too. Good luck and success, I really hope that I was able to help someone
