You do not need any formula to solve this problem. With two blue balls and two red balls you have two cases BBRR and BRBR. How many... -

For the case 1 yellow, 2 red, 2 blue, I get 6 arrangements in a circle, which is the same as (5-1)!/(2!2!1!) . How many do you get? For...

Let's take a closer look at your 2 red balls and 2 blue example. The number of combinations for arranging them in a row is 4!/(2!2!)=6...

I assume that two arrangements are considered equal if they are equal after rotation? If so, you could start by fixing the position of...
