Question

An arrangement of the letters in the word colosseum

Answer 1

The maximum number of arrangements in COLOSSEUM is done by involving 9 letters. It comprises of two Ss, two Os, one C, one L, one E, one U and one M.

There are more possible arrangements involving these letters which can be formed through permutation of these letters (by placing these letters in different orders relative to each other).

Possible number of such arrangements can be calculated as below:-

= [(9!) / {(2!) * (2!)}]

= 90720.

Hope it helps!
