The correct answer is: 288
Let two particular boys as one boy, we have only four boys which can be seated at a round table in 3! ways.
The two boys together can be arranged in 2 ways.
So, boys can be seated in 2×3! ways.

B1B2 are together. Now 4 girls can be seated at four places (marked ×) in 4! ways.
Required number of ways =3!×2×4!
=6×2×24=288 ways
