For the word SURITI, if you arrange the letters in dictionary order then what is its rank?

(a) 234
(b) 235
(c) 236
(d) 237

• this is the shortcut to find the rank
  
  SURITI-352141(no.it in the alp.order,if it is repeated give the same no)
  
  for the letter "S" the alp.no is 3, in the right side find the nos..less than 3,there are 3(2,1,1) nos so its 3/2!(repetition of I)
  "U" the alp. no is 5 there are 4(2,1,4,1)less nos in right side so its 4/2!(rept.of I)
  "R" in the same way then it is 2/2!
  "I" its alp.no is 1 it dont have any less no so 0/2!(u need to consider the present I also)
  "T" =1/1!(there is no rept of letters)
  "I"=0/1!
  then give ! order as S U R I T I
  5! 4! 3! 2! 1! 0!
  then * the both,
  = (3/2!)*5! + (4/2!)*4! + (2/2!)*3! + (0/2!)*2! + (1/1!)*1! + (0/1!)*0! +1
  = 180 + 48 + 6 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1
  = 236
  
  hope this will be helpful

• I= 5! =120
  R=5!/2 =60
  SI=4! =24
  SR=4!/2= 12
  ST=4!/2= 12
  SUI=3! = 6
  = 234 WORDS
  
  AND WE CAN MAKE THESE 2 WORDS
  SURIIT
  SURITI = 236
  SO RANK IS 236

• -->option (c)
  in ascending order of alphabets--> I,R,S,T,U
  no. of words formed by taking I as first letter=5! // I _ _ _ _ _
  no. of words formed by taking R as first letter=5!/2! // R _ _ _ _ _ since we have two I's
  no. of words formed by taking SI as first two letters=4! // SI _ _ _ _
  no. of words formed by taking SR as first two letters=4! /2! // SR _ _ _ _ two I's
  no. of words formed by taking SUI as first three letters=3! // SUI _ _ _
  
  and next two words are SURIIT
  SURITI
  
  so position of suriti =120+60+24+12+12+6+2=236
