The video tutorial covers various seating arrangements for five girls and five boys around a circular table. It begins with calculating permutations without restrictions, using the formula for circular permutations. The tutorial then explores scenarios where boys and girls must alternate seats, where three specific boys must sit together, and where all boys must sit together. Each scenario involves applying factorial calculations and the fundamental counting principle to determine the number of possible arrangements.
