Total arrangements of 7 people in a row: 7!=50407!=5040. Arrange the 5 girls first (5!5! ways), creating 6 gaps (before, between, and after them) into which the 2 boys can be placed so no two boys sit together: choose and order 2 of the 6 gaps, P(6,2)=6×5=30P(6,2)=6\times5=30 ways. Favourable arrangements =5!×30=120×30=3600=5!\times30=120\times30=3600. P=3600/5040=5/7P=3600/5040=5/7.

✓Final answer

Option D) 57\frac{5}{7}.
