The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will break it down into three parts as per the question. ### Part (i): Find the number of different words formed by using all the letters of the word 'INSTITUTION'. 1. **Count the letters in 'INSTITUTION'**: - The word has 11 letters in total. - The breakdown of the letters is as follows: - I: 3 times - N: 2 times - S: 1 time - T: 3 times - U: 1 time - O: 1 time 2. **Use the formula for permutations of multiset**: The formula for the number of distinct permutations of a multiset is given by: \[ \frac{n!}{n_1! \times n_2! \times \ldots \times n_k!} \] where \( n \) is the total number of items, and \( n_1, n_2, \ldots, n_k \) are the frequencies of the distinct items. 3. **Apply the formula**: Here, \( n = 11 \) (total letters), \( n_1 = 3 \) (for I), \( n_2 = 2 \) (for N), \( n_3 = 3 \) (for T), \( n_4 = 1 \) (for S), \( n_5 = 1 \) (for U), \( n_6 = 1 \) (for O). \[ \text{Number of distinct words} = \frac{11!}{3! \times 2! \times 3! \times 1! \times 1! \times 1!} \] 4. **Calculate the factorials**: - \( 11! = 39916800 \) - \( 3! = 6 \) - \( 2! = 2 \) - \( 1! = 1 \) 5. **Substitute and simplify**: \[ \text{Number of distinct words} = \frac{39916800}{6 \times 2 \times 6 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1} = \frac{39916800}{72} = 554400 \] ### Part (ii): Find the number of words where the three T's are together. 1. **Treat the three T's as a single unit**: - When the three T's are together, we can treat them as one letter (let's call it TTT). - This gives us the new set of letters: I, I, I, N, N, S, U, O, TTT (total of 9 letters). 2. **Count the frequency of the new letters**: - I: 3 times - N: 2 times - S: 1 time - U: 1 time - O: 1 time - TTT: 1 time 3. **Use the permutations formula again**: \[ \text{Number of distinct words with T's together} = \frac{9!}{3! \times 2! \times 1! \times 1! \times 1!} \] 4. **Calculate the factorials**: - \( 9! = 362880 \) 5. **Substitute and simplify**: \[ \text{Number of distinct words with T's together} = \frac{362880}{6 \times 2 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1} = \frac{362880}{12} = 30240 \] ### Part (iii): Find the number of words where the first two letters are the two N's. 1. **Fix the first two letters as N, N**: - This leaves us with the letters: I, I, I, T, T, T, S, U, O (total of 9 letters). 2. **Count the frequency of the remaining letters**: - I: 3 times - T: 3 times - S: 1 time - U: 1 time - O: 1 time 3. **Use the permutations formula**: \[ \text{Number of distinct words with first two letters N, N} = \frac{9!}{3! \times 3! \times 1! \times 1! \times 1!} \] 4. **Calculate the factorials**: - \( 9! = 362880 \) 5. **Substitute and simplify**: \[ \text{Number of distinct words with first two letters N, N} = \frac{362880}{6 \times 6 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1} = \frac{362880}{36} = 10080 \] ### Final Answers: (i) 554400 (ii) 30240 (iii) 10080

To solve the problem, we will break it down into three parts as per the question. ### Part (i): Find the number of different words formed by using all the letters of the word 'INSTITUTION'. 1. **Count the letters in 'INSTITUTION'**: - The word has 11 letters in total. - The breakdown of the letters is as follows: - I: 3 times ...
