In the given word ASSASSINATION, the letter A appears 3 times, S appears 4 times, I appears 2 times, N appears 2 times, and all the other letters appear only once.
Since all the words have to be arranged in such a way that all the Ss are together, SSSS is treated as a single object for the time being. This single object together with the remaining 9 objects will account for 10 objects.
These 10 objects in which there are 3 As, 2 Is, and 2 Ns can be arranged in \(\frac{10!}{3!2!2!}\) ways.
Thus, required number of ways of arranging the letters of the given word
\(=\frac{10!}{3!2!2!}=151200\)
Match List-I with List-II
List-I | List-II |
---|---|
(A) \(^{8}P_{3} - ^{10}C_{3}\) | (I) 6 |
(B) \(^{8}P_{5}\) | (II) 21 |
(C) \(^{n}P_{4} = 360,\) then find \(n\). | (III) 216 |
(D) \(^{n}C_{2} = 210,\) find \(n\). | (IV) 6720 |
