Given word is : INEFFECTIVE

Total number of letters = 11 in which

I - 2, E - 3, F - 2, N - 1, C - 1, T - 1, V - 1

We have to form words which have 3 letters. Now there are following case:

(i) 2 are same and 1 different letter:

Total number of words = C(3,2) * C(6,1)

                                     = 3 * 6

                                     = 18

(ii) All letters are different:

Total number of words = C(7,3)

                                      = 35

(iii) Three are similar:

Total number of words = 1

Now

=> Total number of 3 letters words = 1 + 35 + 18

                                                          = 54
