Question

If we permute 5 letters of the word ‘mango', the number of permuted words with ‘n' at the second place are

Answer 1

The correct answer should be - 24.

Since there are 5 letters in the word 'Mango', if the letter 'n' should be only in the second place, then the letter will appear 1/5 times.

So, the other letters can be interchanged within the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and the 5th places to give different words with the 'n' at the 2nd place.

So, the permutation can be calculated as - 5!/5 - 4 x 3 x 2 = 24.

So, the word 'Mango' can be permutated 24 times to give words with 'n' at the 2nd place.
