1. $ \overline{A} \cap \overline{B} = U - (A \cup B)$

$ A \cup B  $   $\text{ means that ---- A can appear after D or C can appear after F}$

$\text{No of permutations when A can appear after D = } $ $6! $

$\text{No of permutations when C can appear after F = } $ $6! $

$\text{No of permutations when A can appear after D  and C can appear after F = } $ $5! $

$\text{Total no of permutations for Z = 7!}$

$ 7! - (6! + 6! -5!) = 3720$

 

2.  $\text{Similarly }$ $7! - 6! = 4320$
