The correct Answer is:
To find the number of different arrangements that can be made using all the letters in the word "MATHEMATICS", we follow these steps: ### Step 1: Count the total number of letters The word "MATHEMATICS" consists of 11 letters. ### Step 2: Identify the frequency of each letter In the word "MATHEMATICS", the frequency of each letter is as follows: - M: 2 times - A: 2 times - T: 2 times - H: 1 time - E: 1 time - I: 1 time - C: 1 time - S: 1 time ### Step 3: Use the formula for permutations of multiset The formula for the number of different arrangements (permutations) of letters in a word where some letters are repeated is given by: \[ \text{Number of arrangements} = \frac{N!}{n_1! \times n_2! \times n_3! \times \ldots} \] where: - \(N\) is the total number of letters, - \(n_1, n_2, n_3, \ldots\) are the frequencies of the repeated letters. ### Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula Here, \(N = 11\) (total letters), and the repeated letters are: - M: 2 times - A: 2 times - T: 2 times Thus, the formula becomes: \[ \text{Number of arrangements} = \frac{11!}{2! \times 2! \times 2!} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the factorials Now, we calculate the factorials: - \(11! = 39916800\) - \(2! = 2\) ### Step 6: Substitute the factorial values into the equation Now we can substitute these values into our formula: \[ \text{Number of arrangements} = \frac{39916800}{2 \times 2 \times 2} = \frac{39916800}{8} = 4989600 \] ### Final Answer The number of different arrangements that can be made by using all the letters in the word "MATHEMATICS" is **4,989,600**. ---
