Solution

The correct option is A

672


First select any two men from the four and arrange them in the ending seats in 4C2*2!

Then select two seats out of the 8 seats and arrange the two men in that. The number of ways that this can be done is 8C2*2!

So, the total number of ways in which this can be done is 8C2*2! *4C2*2! = 672
