MCQ: Permutations and Combinations - 2 - Question 1

How many different words can be formed using all the letters of the word ALLAHABAD?
(a) When vowels occupy the even positions.
(b) Both L do not occur together.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Permutations and Combinations - 2 - Question 1

ALLAHABAD = 9 letters. Out of these 9 letters there is 4 A's and 2 L's are there.
So, permutations 
(a) There are 4 vowels and all are alike i.e. 4A's.

These even places can be occupied by 4 vowels. In 
In other five places 5 other letter can be occupied of which two are alike i.e. 2L's.
Number of ways = 5!/2! Ways.
Hence, total number of ways in which vowels occupy the even places  = 60 ways.

(b) Taking both L's together and treating them as one letter we have 8 letters out of which A repeats 4 times and others are distinct.
These 8 letters can be arranged in = 8!/4! Ways.
Also two L can be arranged themselves in 2! ways.
So, Total no. of ways in which L are together = 1680 × 2 = 3360 ways.
Now,
Total arrangement in which L never occur together,
= Total arrangement - Total no. of ways in which L occur together.
= 7560 - 3360
= 4200 ways

These 9 papers can be arranged in 9! Ways.
And two papers can be arranged themselves in 2! Ways.
No. of arrangement when best and worst paper do not come together,
= 10! - 9! × 2!
= 9!(10 - 2)
= 8 × 9!
