Answer:
792 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this using the combination formular
[tex]nCr= \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex] where n represents the total number of objects/items, and r represents the number of items being chosen at a time.
Hence, in this case, n = 12, r = 5, which is = [tex]nCr= \frac{12!}{5!(12-5)!}[/tex] = 792.
Therefore, there are 792 ways to choose five books so that no two adjacent books are chosen.
