The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the number of different words that can be formed using the letters of the word "SIGNATURE" where the letters I, G, and N are always together, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Letters**: The word "SIGNATURE" consists of the letters S, I, G, N, A, T, U, R, E. There are a total of 9 letters. 2. **Group the Letters I, G, and N**: Since we want the letters I, G, and N to always be together, we can treat them as a single unit or block. Let's denote this block as [IGN]. 3. **Count the Remaining Letters**: After grouping I, G, and N together, we have the following letters to arrange: - The block [IGN] - S, A, T, U, R, E This gives us a total of 7 units to arrange: [IGN], S, A, T, U, R, E. 4. **Calculate the Arrangements of the Units**: The number of ways to arrange these 7 units is given by 7! (7 factorial). 5. **Arrange the Letters within the Block**: The letters I, G, and N can be arranged among themselves in 3! (3 factorial) ways. 6. **Combine the Results**: The total number of arrangements where I, G, and N are together is the product of the arrangements of the 7 units and the arrangements of the letters within the block: \[ \text{Total Arrangements} = 7! \times 3! \] 7. **Calculate the Factorials**: - \(7! = 5040\) - \(3! = 6\) Therefore, \[ \text{Total Arrangements} = 5040 \times 6 = 30240 \] ### Final Answer: The total number of different words that can be formed with the letters of the word "SIGNATURE" where I, G, and N are always together is **30,240**.
