How many distinguishable ways can the letters of the word millimicron be arranged in order?
Accepted Solution
A:
total no. of letters = 11
millimicron
dissecting will give us:
no. of m = 2, no. of i = 3, no. of l = 2, no. of c = 1, no.
of n =1, no. of r = 1, no. of o = 1
we are going to compute this by using permutation
total no. of ways to arrangement = 11!/ [ 2!* 3! * 2! * 1!
*1! *1! *1!]
= 39,916,800/ 24
= 1,663,200 is the answer
