The correct Answer is:
To find the position of the word "RANDOM" when all the permutations of its letters are arranged in alphabetical order, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: List the letters of the word The letters in "RANDOM" are: A, D, M, N, O, R. ### Step 2: Arrange the letters in alphabetical order The alphabetical order of the letters is: A, D, M, N, O, R. ### Step 3: Count permutations starting with letters before 'R' 1. **Words starting with 'A':** - Remaining letters: D, M, N, O, R (5 letters) - Number of permutations = 5! = 120 2. **Words starting with 'D':** - Remaining letters: A, M, N, O, R (5 letters) - Number of permutations = 5! = 120 3. **Words starting with 'M':** - Remaining letters: A, D, N, O, R (5 letters) - Number of permutations = 5! = 120 4. **Words starting with 'N':** - Remaining letters: A, D, M, O, R (5 letters) - Number of permutations = 5! = 120 5. **Words starting with 'O':** - Remaining letters: A, D, M, N, R (5 letters) - Number of permutations = 5! = 120 ### Step 4: Count permutations starting with 'R' Now we need to consider the words starting with 'R'. The next letter in "RANDOM" is 'A'. 1. **Words starting with 'RA':** - Remaining letters: D, M, N, O (4 letters) - Number of permutations = 4! = 24 2. **Words starting with 'RD':** - Remaining letters: A, M, N, O (4 letters) - Number of permutations = 4! = 24 3. **Words starting with 'RM':** - Remaining letters: A, D, N, O (4 letters) - Number of permutations = 4! = 24 4. **Words starting with 'RN':** - Remaining letters: A, D, M, O (4 letters) - Number of permutations = 4! = 24 5. **Words starting with 'RO':** - Remaining letters: A, D, M, N (4 letters) - Number of permutations = 4! = 24 ### Step 5: Count permutations starting with 'RAN' Next, we consider the letters starting with 'RAN'. 1. **Words starting with 'RAN':** - The next letter in "RANDOM" is 'D'. - Remaining letters: O, M (2 letters) - Number of permutations = 2! = 2 (i.e., "RANOM" and "RANOD") ### Step 6: Count the total permutations before "RANDOM" Now, we can sum up all the permutations calculated: - Words starting with 'A': 120 - Words starting with 'D': 120 - Words starting with 'M': 120 - Words starting with 'N': 120 - Words starting with 'O': 120 - Words starting with 'RA': 24 - Words starting with 'RD': 24 - Words starting with 'RM': 24 - Words starting with 'RN': 24 - Words starting with 'RO': 24 - Words starting with 'RAN': 2 (before "RANDOM") Total = 120 + 120 + 120 + 120 + 120 + 24 + 24 + 24 + 24 + 24 + 2 = 624 ### Step 7: Determine the position of "RANDOM" Since "RANDOM" is the next word after all those counted, its position is: 624 + 1 = 625. Thus, the position of the word "RANDOM" in the dictionary is **625**.
