**Solution:**
To find the permutation of 4 letters taken from the word 'MATHEMATICS', we first need to determine the number of ways to select 4 letters from the given word.
The word 'MATHEMATICS' has a total of 11 letters. So, the number of ways to select 4 letters from the word is given by the combination formula:
C(n, r) = n! / (r!(n-r)!)
where n is the total number of items and r is the number of items to be selected.
In this case, n = 11 (total number of letters) and r = 4 (number of letters to be selected).
C(11, 4) = 11! / (4!(11-4)!)
= 11! / (4! * 7!)
= (11 * 10 * 9 * 8) / (4 * 3 * 2 * 1)
= 3,960
So, there are 3,960 permutations of 4 letters taken from the word 'MATHEMATICS'. We can represent this as A = 3,960.
Similarly, to find the permutation of 4 letters taken from the word 'EXAMINATION', we need to determine the number of ways to select 4 letters from the given word.
The word 'EXAMINATION' has a total of 11 letters. So, the number of ways to select 4 letters from the word is given by the combination formula:
C(n, r) = n! / (r!(n-r)!)
where n is the total number of items and r is the number of items to be selected.
In this case, n = 11 (total number of letters) and r = 4 (number of letters to be selected).
C(11, 4) = 11! / (4!(11-4)!)
= 11! / (4! * 7!)
= (11 * 10 * 9 * 8) / (4 * 3 * 2 * 1)
= 3,960
So, there are 3,960 permutations of 4 letters taken from the word 'EXAMINATION'. We can represent this as B = 3,960.
Now, we need to calculate lA - Bl.
lA - Bl = 3,960 - 3,960
= 0
Therefore, the value of lA - Bl is 0.
Hence, the correct option is (a) 0!
If permutations of 4 letters taken from the word 'MATHEMATICS' is A an...
Permutations of both A and B are same hence lA-Bl is zero and right option is none of these
