The correct Answer is:
To find the number of different ways to arrange the letters in the word "LEVEL", we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the total number of letters The word "LEVEL" consists of 5 letters. ### Step 2: Identify the repeated letters In the word "LEVEL": - The letter 'L' appears 2 times. - The letter 'E' appears 2 times. - The letter 'V' appears 1 time. ### Step 3: Use the formula for permutations of multiset The formula to calculate the number of distinct arrangements of letters in a word where some letters are repeated is given by: \[ \text{Number of arrangements} = \frac{n!}{p_1! \times p_2! \times \ldots \times p_k!} \] Where: - \( n \) is the total number of letters. - \( p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_k \) are the frequencies of the repeated letters. ### Step 4: Apply the formula In our case: - \( n = 5 \) (total letters) - The letter 'L' is repeated 2 times, so \( p_1 = 2! \) - The letter 'E' is repeated 2 times, so \( p_2 = 2! \) - The letter 'V' is not repeated, so we do not need to include it in the denominator. Thus, the number of arrangements can be calculated as: \[ \text{Number of arrangements} = \frac{5!}{2! \times 2!} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the factorials Now we calculate the factorial values: - \( 5! = 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 120 \) - \( 2! = 2 \times 1 = 2 \) ### Step 6: Substitute the values into the formula Now substituting the values into the formula: \[ \text{Number of arrangements} = \frac{120}{2 \times 2} = \frac{120}{4} = 30 \] ### Conclusion The number of different ways to arrange the letters in the word "LEVEL" is **30**.
