Answer
Correct choice: (E)
正确答案:(E)
Solution
Clearly, the integers from $8$ through $14$ must be in different pairs, so are the integers from $1$ through $7.$ Note that $7$ must pair with $14.$
We pair the numbers $1,2,3,4,5,6$ with the numbers $8,9,10,11,12,13$ systematically:
- $6$ can pair with either $12$ or $13.$
- $5$ can pair with any of the three remaining numbers from $10,11,12,13.$
- $1,2,3,4$ can pair with the other four remaining numbers from $8,9,10,11,12,13$ without restrictions.
Together, the answer is $2\cdot3\cdot4!=\boxed{\textbf{(E) } 144}.$
显然,$8$ 到 $14$ 的整数必须成对分在不同对中,$1$ 到 $7$ 亦然。注意 $7$ 必须与 $14$ 配对。
我们系统地将 $1,2,3,4,5,6$ 与 $8,9,10,11,12,13$ 配对:
- $6$ 可与 $12$ 或 $13$ 配对。
- $5$ 可与剩余的 $10,11,12,13$ 中的任意三个配对。
- $1,2,3,4$ 可与剩余的 $8,9,10,11,12,13$ 中的其他四个任意配对,无限制。
总计 $2\cdot3\cdot4!=\boxed{\textbf{(E) } 144}$。
