Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Fix up a male and the remaining 4 male can be seated in 4! ways. Now no two female are to sit together and as such the 2 female are to be arranged in five empty seats between two consecutive male and number of arrangement will be $ {}^{5}P_2 $ . Hence by fundamental theorem the total number of ways is = $ 4!\times {}^{5}P_2 $ = 24 × 20 = 480 ways.
