In how many ways can the letters of english alphabet be arranged so that there are seven letters in between A and B and no letter is repeated.
ans:
18*24!
24P7*2*18!
36*24!
24P7*2*20!
Read Solution (Total 7)
-
- A and B are fixed and can be arranged by 2!
remaining letters=24
Arrange 7 letters out of 24= 24P7
Now consider A +7 letters+B as 1 letter, now remaining letters=26-9=17
Then 1letter and 17 letters can be arranged by 18!
i.e 24P7*2!*18! - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(23) No(4)
- 24c7*7!*2!*18!=36*24!

- any no of alpha can come before "a" " _a_ _ _ _ _ _ _b _" any no of alpha can come after "b".
to arrange
a,b there are 2! ways
7 digits between a & b = 24P7
and
remaining alphabet = let us assume a to b be 1 alphabet there fore the are total 18 alphabets hence we can arrange them in 18! ways
since all are done simultaneously so ans= 24P7*2*18! - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(2)
- actually value of option b and c are same.so we can go for any1
