Answer:

The number of ways the representative can be seated are:

720

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when 'n' people are to be seated around a round table than the number of ways of doing so is calculated by:

                                                (n-1)!

Since in a circular seating there is no condition of the end point and hence the arrangement may start from anywhere.

Here we are given 7 nations who are to be seated at a round table.

Hence, the number of ways of doing so is:

[tex](7-1)!=6!\\\\=6\times 5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1\\\\=720[/tex]

          Hence, the number of ways to do so is:

                         720
