for n=7, m=2 .... no of iso=p=(7-1)/2 = 3

.....n=7, m=3 ...........p=4 = (3+1)

.....n=7, m=4 (1.e 7-3) .......... p=4

....n=7, m=5 (7-2) .......... p=3

so we can say,

for 2<m<=(n-1)/2 for odd and n/2 for even

p= n-m

for [n-1]/2 < m < n-2 [replace n-1 by n for even]

p=m

and if m=2 or n-2, p=(n-1)/2 for odd and n/2 for even.

yes sky, It will be very very difficult.

Almost impossible.

I can think of a lot of cases.. but the problem here is that there will be a lotof repetitions which are tough to handle

btw I dont think it is worth thinking at this stage of your IIT JEE preparations

Think of it like this..

Fix one member

Also think of a garland :)
