Abhishek Dushyantkumar Jadav  (9 years ago) Best Solution

ans = (d)
for words AC**** possible ways for arranging * will be 4!=24
now next seq in alphabatical order will be AE**** so....
same way for AE**** possible ways for arranging * will be 4!=24
..
..
Thus, 48th element will be last element in AE**** that means AE followd by reverse alphabatical order! which is AESPLC

it contain 6 letter 5 is sufficient to make 120 letter so A comes first if we palce C at second remaining 4 letter make 24 words now placed e as a second letter 24 letter made but in case of 48th letter it is worst case after AE remainig 4 letter is arrenged in revers order so answer is d) AESPLC

d) AESPLC
AC_ _ _ _ 24
AEC_ _ _ 6
AEL_ _ _ 6
AEP _ _ _6
AESC_ _ 2
AESL__ 2
AESPCL 1
AESPLC 1
TOTAL=48

AC....=4!=24
AE....=4!=24
24=24=48
so 48th word is starting with AE and then reverse the alphabetic order
AESPLC (d)

total alphabet is 6 that means total no. of words =720
in alphabetic order my word is "ACELPS".
we take 4 alphabet and can make 24 words.
at the last exchange E with C and make new 24 words.
answer is "AESPLC"

Chunduru Nikhitha Prasanna  (5 years ago)

Arranging in alphabetical order A, C, E, L, P, S
A _ _ _ _ _=5!=120(exceeding 48)
A C _ _ _ _=4!=24
A E _ _ _ _=4!=24 (the remaining 4 letters can be arranged in 4! ways)
24+24=48 (we get the required number)
48 is the last word then according to dictionary the word will be AESPLC
