Dear student
 
There are $9!$ (the factorial of 9) total permutations of the elements of that set. 1 is to the left of 2 in exactly half of these. 3 is also to the left of 4 in exactly half of the permutations, and 5 is to the left of 6 in exactly half of the permutations. These three events are totally independent of each other, so the number we want to calculate is $\frac12\cdot\frac12\cdot\frac12\cdot9! = \frac18\cdot9\cdot8\cdot7! = 9\cdot7!$
