There are $n$ people seated on a circular table that have seats numerated from 1 to $n$ clockwise. Let $k$ be a fix integer with $2 \leq k \leq n$. The people can change their seats. There are two types of moves permitted: 1. Each person moves to the next seat clockwise. 2. Only the ones in seats 1 and $k$ exchange their seats. Determine, in function of $n$ and $k$, the number of possible configurations of people in the table that can be attain by using a sequence of permitted moves.

We consider a number of points in a plane. Each of these points is connected to at least one of the other points by a line segment, in such a way that a figure arises that does not break up into different parts (that is, from any point along drawn line segments we can reach any other point).. We assign a point the ”order” $n$, when in this point $n$ line segments meet. We characterize the obtained figure by writing down the order of each of its points one after the other. For example, a hexagon is characterized by the combination $\{2,2,2,2,2,2\}$ and a star with six rays by $\{6,1,1,1,1,1,1\}$. (a) Sketch a figure' belonging to the combination $\{4,3,3,3,3\}$. (b) Give the combinations of all possible figures, of which the sum of the order numbers is equal to $6$. (c) Prove that every such combination contains an even number of odd numbers.
