4rows, and 4columns.

Soo :

Answer:

  • 24 ways

Explanation:

If the coins are identical and not numbered, we need to find the number of patterns.

There are 4 rows and 4 columns. One cell remains empty in each row.

There are 4 options for the first row, 3 options for the second row, 2 options for the third row and 1 option for the fourth row.

The number of options reduces to avoid more than 1 empty cell in each row or column.

Number of options is:

  • 4*3*2*1 = 24
