The authors enumerate combinatorially the number of ways of selecting \(k\) objects from \(n\) objects arrayed in a line (respectively in a circle), such that no two selected ones are separated by \(m-1\), \(2m-1, \dots,pm-1\) objects. These results generalize respective ones of \textit{I. Kaplansky} [Bull. Am. Math. Soc. 49, 784--785 (1943; Zbl 0060.02904)] and \textit{J. Konvalina} [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 31, 101--107 (1981; Zbl 0469.05003)].
