Hi tanuj ,We were asked to simply arrange based on a given set of conditions where the chairman sits in between a vice chairman and a particular director .Hence we fic the vice chairman chairman and and some particular director and then we start arranging so there is no need for selection of the specific director .

C and VC should be together so C+VC,VC+C make them one group after that we have to arrange one unit C+VC,VC+C and 8 directors so the answer is 8!*2.

please let me know as soon as possible.

Hi Ashok,
It is given that the chairman has to sit between the the vice chairman and a specific director. You did not consider the specific director and that's why you have got a different answer.

Yes,but we can select specific director in 8 ways.

Hi,
Since it is given that the chairman sits between a VC and specific director, there is no need of selection of the director . As "specific" director is given, the director between who the chairman sits is already selected. The question is different from chairman sitting between VC and any director.
Hopr you understood

Hi,
If the word specific is not mentioned in the question, you would have been correct.

Hi Bharath,
Chariman, Vice-Chairman and the director can be made as a group and we have 7 more directors left to be arranged. So basically you can think of it as arranging 8 people in circular arrangement. which is in 7! ways.
Hope this helps
