We can simply solve the above problem as under -
To find the Rank of the word - PIGEON in the dictionary, we will do the following steps -
In the word PIGEON, there are no repeating words.
arrange the letters in alphabetical order.
= E G I N O P
The possible combination of all the letters =
= 6! = 6×5×4×3×2×1 = 720
Let's find the number of words starting with the first letter - E
so, words starting with the letter E will be above P I G E O N.
So, if we fix E at the first position we have,
5! = 120 words
Similarly,
number of words starting with G = 120 words
number of words starting with I = 120 words
number of words starting with N = 120 words
number of words starting with O = 120 words
So, the total number of words that do not start with P and are above PIGEON = 120× 5 = 600
Now, The next letter P aligns with the required word. (PIGEON)
Fix the second letter alphabetically.
Number of words starting with PE = 4! = 24
Number of words starting with PG = 4! = 24
Now the next letter is I, which also aligns with our required word PIGEON.
LET'S FIX THE THIRD WORD ALPHABETICALLY,
Number of words starting with PIE = 3! = 6
THE NEXT LETTER IS G, WHICH ALSO ALIGNS WITH OUR REQUIRED WORD.
LET US FIX THE FOURTH WORD ALPHABETICALLY
The letter E also aligns with our word
The next letter combination will be - PIGENO
and, the last combination will be = PIGEON
RANK of the word PIGEON will be = 600+24+24+6+1+1
= 656.
Hence, the rank of the word PIGEON is 656
