Answer 2

Answer:

1680 can be formed with or without meaning by using the word GANGSTER of 4 letter when repetition is not allowed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word is given to be : GANGSTER

Total number of letters in the word = 8

Now, we need to form 4 letter word such that repetition is not allowed

So, Possibilities for first letter = 8

Possibilities for second letter = 7

Possibilities for third letter = 6

Possibilities for forth letter = 5

So, Total number of words which can be formed = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5

                                                                                    = 1680

Hence, 1680 can be formed with or without meaning by using the word GANGSTER of 4 letter when repetition is not allowed.
