Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- physics
arrange them in alphabatical order
c h i p s s y
so c=1,h=2,i=3,p=4,s=5,s=6,y=7
Step 1: Write the word and above it,put the alphabetical ordering.
Step 2:Write below,the factorial values starting with 0!(=1) from right to left.
Step 3:Write the number of numbers less than(in top row) the number towards right of it.
Step 4:Multiply the numbers shown by and add.
Step 5:Add "1" to get the rank of the word.
Example: The rank of the word "MASTER" is
Step 1: 4 2 7 5 3 1 6
P H Y S I C S
Step 2 720 120 24 6 2 1 0
Step 3: 3 1 4 2 1 0 0
Step 4: 2160 + 120 + 96 +12 +2+ 0 +0=2390
Step 5: 2390+1=2391(ans)
explanation:
in step 3 it comparing the value from step 1,for ex 4 has
3 value less than it on right side
2 has 1 value less than on right

- @madhu:in third step see,p=4,and on its right side it has total 3 values which is less then it(see from step 1)(2,3,1)
and same case for all,like as c=3,and it has 1 value less than it(see in step 1,which is only 1)
