Answer:
Hence, 40320 words with or without meaning can be formed using all the letters of the word EQUATION, using each letter exactly once.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given word is: EQUATION
Number of letters in the given word = 8
We need to use all the letters at a time. So,
Numbers of letters to be used = 8
As we know that number of different possible arrangements of “n” given items taken “m” at
a time is given by: nPm
For the given case:
Number of given items = n = 8
Number of items taken at a time = m = 8
So, total number of words to be formed =nPm=8P8
Now let us solve the term.
Total number of words to be formed
=8P8=8!(8−8)! [∵nPr=n!(n−r)!]=8!0!=8!1 [∵0!=1]=8!=8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1=40320
Hence, 40320 words with or without meaning can be formed using all the letters of the word EQUATION, using each letter exactly once
