This is bit difficult to explain in writing, but here goes

Let separate the 4 chairs required for people and hence we are left with 8 chairs

| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ |

IN the diagram the dashes are the chairs and the verticle lines are the place where the 4 men who wants to sit separately can put their chairs
Hence it’s
\binom{9}{4} \times 4!
Answer = 3024
