• A. 720
• B. 540
• C. 120
• D. 180

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To determine the number of different words that can be formed with the word "CUSTOM" with the condition that the word should begin with M, we can follow these steps:
1. Fix the first letter as M.
2. Arrange the remaining 5 letters (C, U, S, T, O).
The number of ways to arrange 5 letters is given by \(5!\):
\[ 5! = 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 120 \]
Therefore, the number of different words that can be formed is:
Answer: C (120)
