Solution

To solve this problem, we need to understand that we are dealing with permutations, which is a way of arranging items where the order is important.

Step 1: Determine the number of even places. Since there are 9 people in total, there are 4 even places (2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th).

Step 2: Determine the number of ways to arrange the women. Since there are 4 women and 4 even places, the number of ways to arrange the women is 4!, which equals 24.

Step 3: Determine the number of ways to arrange the men. Since there are 5 men and 5 remaining places (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th), the number of ways to arrange the men is 5!, which equals 120.

Step 4: Multiply the number of ways to arrange the women and the men to get the total number of arrangements. So, 24 * 120 = 2880.

Therefore, the number of such arrangements possible is 2880. So, the correct answer is 2880.
