Solution

To find the number of ways in which the Indians, Americans, and Englishmen can be seated together, we can treat each group as a single entity.

First, let's consider the Indians as a single entity. There are 8 Indians, so they can be arranged among themselves in 8! (8 factorial) ways.

Next, let's consider the Americans as a single entity. There are 4 Americans, so they can be arranged among themselves in 4! ways.

Similarly, the 4 Englishmen can be arranged among themselves in 4! ways.

Now, we have 3 entities - the group of Indians, the group of Americans, and the group of Englishmen. These 3 entities can be arranged among themselves in 3! ways.

Finally, we multiply all the possibilities together to get the total number of ways:

8! * 4! * 4! * 3! = 40,320 * 24 * 24 * 6 = 185,794,560

Therefore, there are 185,794,560 ways in which the Indians, Americans, and Englishmen can be seated together in a row.
