30: Eight oarsmen and two coxswains are to make up two crews of four oarsmen and one coxswains each. It is found that three men can row on bow side only and two on stroke side only, the rest can row on either side. In how many ways can the crews be made up if their order of rowing in the boats is important, but if the boats are identical.

1728??/

3! * 4 * 3! * 3 = 1728

The problem is I don't even know how bowsmen and oarsmen and strokesmen are arranged on a boat. I highly doubt this would be an actual GMAT question.
