11 = 6 + 5
12 = 6 + 6
16 = 5 + 11
17 = 6 + 11
So, Max Weight = 11 + 11 = 22
And Min Weight = 5 + 5 =10

9 people can be arranged in 9! ways. Excluding Raj and Rana, out of 7 people.

Case 1: I select 3 people 7C3 who can be arranged in 3! ways.

Remaining (9−(3+2))=4 people can be arranged in 4! ways

Therefore required arrangement=7C3∗3!∗4!∗2! ----(i)
Case 2: I select 4 people 7C4 who can be arranged in 4! ways

Remaining (9−(4+2))=3 people can be arranged in 3! ways

Therefore required arrangement=7C4∗4!∗3!∗2! ----(ii)
Case 3: I select 5 people 7C5 who can be arranged in 5! ways

Remaining (9−(5+2))=2 people can be arranged in 2! ways

Therefore required arrangement=7C3∗5!∗2!∗2! ----(iii)
Case 4: I select 6 people 7C6 who can be arranged in 6! ways

Remaining (9−(6+2))=1 people can -be arranged in 1! way.

Therefore required arrangement=7C6∗6!∗1!∗2! ----(iv)
Case 5: I select 7 people 7C7 which can be arranged in 7! ways

Remaining (9−(7+2))=0 people can be arranged in 1! ways

Therefore required arrangement=7C7∗7!∗1!∗2! ----(v)
Adding equations (i)+(ii)+(iii)+(iv)+(v)9! we get the required probability.

Is it a correct approach and if there exists any shorter method, could you please tell me?

Correct answer is 512.
