Three people are to be seated on a bench. How many different sitting arrangements are possible if Erik must sit next to Joe?

it is easy Q but i am a bit confused when i am going to solve easier Qs based on more challenging Qs i tried to underestand in probability and combination... to me the approach is 3!/2! = 3 ways
while the answer is 4 ways...

let persons by k,e,j.
e and j sit together, so put them in a box.
Now we have 'k' and a box. no. of ways to arrange them = 2!
Now in between box, we can arrange e,j in 2 ways: (ej,je)
thus 21*2 = 4 ways
If my post helped you- let me know by pushing the thanks button ;)

Let the 3 people be E, J , and K.
Now since E must sit next to J, so treat them as 1 person.
So, the possible arrangements are 2!
Now, E and J can also interchange places among themselves, which can be done in 2 ways (EJ and JE)

So, the possible no. of sitting arrangements are 2! * 2 = 4 ways

Consider Eric and joe as one person. Then we have total 2 persons to be seated.
No of ways of doing so = 2 ways
Now, Eric and joe could also be arranged in 2 different ways i.e Erik left to Joe and Erik right to Joe.
Hence, total ways = 2 x 2 = 4
