4 Russian novels can be arranged in 4! ways =24 ways
3 British novels can be arranged in 3! ways = 6 ways
2 French novels can be arranged in 2! ways =2 ways
1 German Novel can be arranged in 1! way = 1 way
Therefore the novels can be arranged within the group = (24 x 6 x 2) = 288 ways
Now this group (4 different novels) can be arranged in = 4! ways = 24 ways
Therefore the total no. of ways= 24 * 288 ways
