The correct Answer is:
To find the number of words that can be formed using all the letters of the word "INSTITUTION" that start with a consonant, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the letters and their counts The word "INSTITUTION" consists of the following letters: - I: 3 times - N: 2 times - S: 1 time - T: 3 times - U: 1 time - O: 1 time Total letters = 11 ### Step 2: Identify the consonants The consonants in "INSTITUTION" are: - N, S, T Counting the consonants: - N: 2 times - S: 1 time - T: 3 times Total consonants = 6 (N, N, S, T, T, T) ### Step 3: Choose the first letter (which must be a consonant) For the first letter, we can choose from the 6 consonants. ### Step 4: Calculate the arrangements of the remaining letters After choosing a consonant for the first position, we will have 10 letters left to arrange. The arrangement of these letters will depend on their counts. ### Step 5: Calculate the total arrangements The total arrangements of the remaining 10 letters will be calculated using the formula for permutations of multiset: \[ \text{Total arrangements} = \frac{10!}{\text{(count of I)!} \times \text{(count of N)!} \times \text{(count of T)!}} \] Where: - \(10!\) is the factorial of the total letters left. - The counts of I, N, and T are taken into account since they are repeating. ### Step 6: Substitute the values Substituting the values: - Count of I = 3 - Count of N = 2 - Count of T = 3 So, the formula becomes: \[ \text{Total arrangements} = \frac{10!}{3! \times 2! \times 3!} \] ### Step 7: Calculate the factorials Now, we calculate the factorials: - \(10! = 3628800\) - \(3! = 6\) - \(2! = 2\) ### Step 8: Calculate the total arrangements Now substituting the values into the formula: \[ \text{Total arrangements} = \frac{3628800}{6 \times 2 \times 6} = \frac{3628800}{72} = 50400 \] ### Step 9: Multiply by the number of choices for the first letter Since we have 6 choices for the first letter (the consonants), we multiply the total arrangements by 6: \[ \text{Total words starting with a consonant} = 6 \times 50400 = 302400 \] ### Final Answer The total number of words that can be formed using all the letters of the word "INSTITUTION" that start with a consonant is **302400**. ---

To find the number of words that can be formed using all the letters of the word "INSTITUTION" that start with a consonant, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the letters and their counts The word "INSTITUTION" consists of the following letters: - I: 3 times - N: 2 times - S: 1 time - T: 3 times ...
