Ways in which the first couple can sit together = 2 * 4! (1 couple is considered one unit)
Ways for second couple = 2 * 4!
These cases include an extra case of both couples sitting together
Ways in which both couple are seated together = 2 * 2 * 3! = 4! (2 couples considered as 2 units- so each couple can be arrange between themselves in 2 ways and the 3 units in 3! Ways)
Thus total ways in which at least one couple is seated together = 2 * 4! + 2 * 4! - 4! = 3 * 4!
Total ways to arrange the 5 ppl = 5!
Thus, prob of at least one couple seated together = 3 * 4! / 5! = 3/5
Thus prob of none seated together = 1 - 3/5 = 2/5
