The correct Answer is:
To find the 50th word formed by the letters of the word "AGAIN" when arranged in alphabetical order, we will follow a systematic approach using permutations and combinations. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Letters**: The letters in "AGAIN" are A, A, G, I, N. 2. **Arrange the Letters Alphabetically**: The alphabetical order of the letters is A, A, G, I, N. 3. **Calculate Total Permutations**: The total number of distinct permutations of the letters can be calculated using the formula for permutations of multiset: \[ \text{Total permutations} = \frac{n!}{p_1! \times p_2! \times \ldots \times p_k!} \] where \( n \) is the total number of letters, and \( p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_k \) are the frequencies of each letter. Here, we have: - Total letters (n) = 5 - Frequency of A = 2, G = 1, I = 1, N = 1 \[ \text{Total permutations} = \frac{5!}{2! \times 1! \times 1! \times 1!} = \frac{120}{2} = 60 \] 4. **Count Words Starting with A**: If we fix A as the first letter, we have the letters A, G, I, N left. The number of permutations of these letters is: \[ \text{Permutations} = \frac{4!}{1! \times 1! \times 1!} = 24 \] So, the first 24 words start with A. 5. **Count Words Starting with AG**: If we fix AG as the first two letters, we have A, I, N left. The number of permutations of these letters is: \[ \text{Permutations} = \frac{3!}{1! \times 1!} = 6 \] So, the next 6 words (25th to 30th) start with AG. 6. **Count Words Starting with AI**: If we fix AI as the first two letters, we have A, G, N left. The number of permutations of these letters is: \[ \text{Permutations} = \frac{3!}{1! \times 1!} = 6 \] So, the next 6 words (31st to 36th) start with AI. 7. **Count Words Starting with AN**: If we fix AN as the first two letters, we have A, G, I left. The number of permutations of these letters is: \[ \text{Permutations} = \frac{3!}{1! \times 1!} = 6 \] So, the next 6 words (37th to 42nd) start with AN. 8. **Count Words Starting with AIG**: If we fix AIG as the first three letters, we have A, N left. The number of permutations of these letters is: \[ \text{Permutations} = \frac{2!}{1!} = 2 \] So, the next 2 words (43rd to 44th) start with AIG. 9. **Count Words Starting with AIN**: If we fix AIN as the first three letters, we have A, G left. The number of permutations of these letters is: \[ \text{Permutations} = \frac{2!}{1!} = 2 \] So, the next 2 words (45th to 46th) start with AIN. 10. **Count Words Starting with AGI**: If we fix AGI as the first three letters, we have A, N left. The number of permutations of these letters is: \[ \text{Permutations} = \frac{2!}{1!} = 2 \] So, the next 2 words (47th to 48th) start with AGI. 11. **Count Words Starting with AN**: If we fix AN as the first two letters, we have A, G, I left. The number of permutations of these letters is: \[ \text{Permutations} = \frac{3!}{1! \times 1!} = 6 \] So, the next 6 words (49th to 54th) start with AN, which includes the 50th word. 12. **Determine the 50th Word**: The 49th word is "ANAIG", and the 50th word is "ANAGI". ### Final Answer: The word at the 50th place is **"ANAGI"**. ---
