Small question: In the first case, why aren’t we considering bead and necklace logic that flag can be turned upside down! Then it should be divided by 2!.
Hi Sir,
I needed help with a question similar to the flag one , but instead we have a disc of 5 equal sectors , that needs to be coloured with red, green and yellow , and adjacent sectors cannot have the same colour. And a variant where the sectors the with angles 70,71,72,73,74, and the same conditions , this will make the sectors distinct but the first and last one can not have the same colour.
How do we approach these questions Sir?
Thank you
Hi J,
Your blog is just Wonderful.

Because a flag has a specific end which is attached to the pole, so changing the orientation gives us a totally different flag!
