Mr Green buys four cinema tickets for himself, his wife and their best friends Mr and Mrs White.
Mrs Green is a rather large lady who must sit in a wider aisle seat.
In the interest of marital harmony each husband must sit next to his wife.
The tickets are for seats, A1, A2, A3 and A4 shown on the plan below.
In how many possible ways can Mr Green allocate tickets?

You just need to follow instructions - I'll start you off ...

A1 must be Mrs Green, so A2 must be Mr Green, A3 Mr White, A4 Mrs White

A1 must be Mrs Green, so A2 must be Mr Green, A3 Mrs White, A4 Mr White

Now try the other parts.
