Hi friend,
There are 11 letters in the word INEFFECTIVE i.e E E E, F F, I I, C, T, N, V=6c1
(i) There is only one set of three same letters i.e E E E.These 4 letter can be arranged in ways=4!/3!1!
Hence the total number of words consisting of 3 same and one different letters = 6c1×4!
6×4=24.
(ii) There are three sets of two some letters i.e E E, F F, I I . Out of these three sets two can be selected in ways.Now, 4 letters in each group can be arranged in ways.=3c2
Hence the total number of words consisting two same letters of one kind and 2 same letters of other kind =3c2×4!/2!2!
=3×6=18
(iii) Out of 3 sets of two same letters one set can be chosen in ways.Now, from the remaining 6 distinct letters, 2 letters can be chosen in ways. So there are group of 4 letters each
=3c1×6c2
Now, letters of each group can be arranged among themselves in ways. = 4!/2!
Hence, the total number of words consisting two same letters and 2 different = (3c1×6c2)×4!/2!
=3×15×6=270
(iv) There are 7 distinct letters E, F.So the total number of 4 letters words in which all letters are different = 7c4×4!
=840.....
Hope this helps you...
