Given word is ASSASSINATION Total number of letters in ASSASSINATION is 13 In word ASSASSINATION, there are 3A’s, 4S’s, 2I’s, 1T’s and 1O’s Total number of ways these letters can be arranged (a) Four S’s come consecutively in the word If 4S’s come consecutively then word ASSASSINATION become. So, now numbers of letters is 1 + 9 = 10 (b) Two I’s and two N’s come together So, now numbers of letters is 1 + 9 = 10 (c) All A’s are not coming together Firstly, we find the probability that all A’s are coming together If all A’s are coming together then So, now numbers of letters is 1 + 10 = 11 Now, P(all A’s does not come together) = 1 – P(all A’s come together) (d) No two A’s are coming together First we arrange the alphabets except A’s There are 11 vacant places between these alphabets. Total A’s in the word ASSASSINATION are 3 ∴ 3 A’s can be placed in 11 place in 11C3 ways ∴ Total number of words when no two A’s together
