If the letters of the word MATHEMATICS are arranged arbitrarily, the probability that C comes before E, E before H, H before I and I before S, is

A

`(1)/(75)`

B

`(1)/(24)`

C

`(1)/(120)`

D

`(1)/(720)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`(c )` The total number of arrangments is `(11!)/(2!2!2!)=(11!)/(8)`
The number of arrangements in which `CE,H,I,S` appear in that order `"^(11)C_(5)(6!)/(2!2!2!)=(11!)/(8*5!)`
`:.` Required Proability `=((11!)/(8*5!))/((11!)/(8))=(1)/(120)`
