- Letters available for arrangement are A,C,C,I and I. (P and F are already used)
First, let's consider only A, C and I.
Number of arrangements = 3×2=6
And there are other 2 cases are where letters 'C' and 'I' repeat twice in each respective case.
So, total number of arrangements = 8 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(12) No(6)
