First let us look at the General Case of this kind of Permutation: Consider this kind of Permutation of set for arbitrary
It is easy to count the total number of the permutation () of :
For every , we can divide into two subsets:
Define permutation as the permutation satisfy the condition of this problem. Then according to the condition of this problem, for each , is not a permutation of set . For each , mark the number of permutation of set as , where , mark the number of permutation for set as ; then, according to the condition of this problem, the permutation for is unrestricted, so the number of the unrestricted permutation of is . As a result, for each , the total number of permutation is
Notice that according to the condition of this problem, if you sum up all up, you will get the total number of permutation of , that is,
Put , we will have
