I'm only attempting this one for now, because I can't be bothered to do the second one lol.
Fix one person in one of the four seats of one of the circles. Then, 7*6*5 for the other three seats.
Fix one person in one of the four seats of the other circle. Then, 3*2*1 for the other three seats.
So answer = 7*6*5*3*2*1 = 1260.

I might be wrong, so forgive me if I am. This is actually one of my weaker maths topics.
