This is what I have for the 3 Variations

1)This is as good as seating 8 ppl in a row of 8 seats without any restriction.
No of arrangements = 8! = 40320

2)
This could be viewed as

WHWHWHWH
or
HWHWHWHW

Now for WHWHWHWH
Number of ways to select 1 W - 4
For this selected wife there is only 1 husband
Therefore,the total number of arrangements is
(4x1)X(3X1)X(2X1)X(1X1) = 24
Multiply this by 2 as we could have HWHWHWHW also
Therefore the answer required is 48

3)Number of ways of WWWWHHHH
4!X4! = 24X24 = 576

Please can you confirm the answers?
Thanks!

a) 8!
b) 4!*(2!*2!*2!*2!)
because the four couples can be arranged in 4! ways and each couple can be arranged in 2! ways

c) 4!*4!
The powers of two are bloody impolite!!
