COMMITTEES - A 10 Letter Word

No. of ways it can be permuted= 10! ways


There are repeating letters.
M repeated 2 times
T repeated 2 times
E repeated 2 times


Repetitions of letters are to be eliminated to avoid the same arrangements happening again.


So Total Possibilities = $\frac{10!}{2! × 2! × 2!}$

•°• 453600 permutations are possible.
