The video tutorial explains how to solve a problem involving a sequence of eight distinct integers sorted in ascending order. The task is to find the number of distinct pairs of sequences B and C, where B has 5 elements and C has 3, such that merging B and C results in the original sequence. The solution involves calculating combinations using 8 C 5, simplifying it to 8 C 3, and determining the number of ways to arrange the sequences in ascending order, resulting in 56 distinct pairs.
