Answer:

Method 1
\( \begin{array}{lll}\operatorname{RRA} \mathrm{R} & { }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{2} & =10 \\ \operatorname{RRA} \overline{\mathrm{L}}- & { }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{1} & =5 \\ \operatorname{RRA} \mathrm{R} \mathrm{L} & { }^{5} \mathrm{C}_{1} & =5 \\ \operatorname{RRAA} \overline{\mathrm{L}} & & =1\end{array} \)
\( [Total =] 21 \)
Method 2 - Fixing RRAL first.
N.B. No other scenarios can be present anywhere in solution.
\( \mathrm{RRAL} \wedge \wedge{ }^{7} \mathrm{C}_{2} \)
\( [ Total =] 21 \)
