Q. In how many different ways can the letters of the word "MODI" be arranged ?  āĻĒā§ā§°āĻļā§āύ: "MODI" āĻļāĻŦā§āĻĻāĻŸā§‹ā§° āφāĻ–ā§°āϏāĻŽā§‚āĻšāĻ• āĻ•āĻŋāĻŽāĻžāύ āϧ⧰āϪ⧇ āϏāϜāĻžāĻŦ āĻĒāĻžā§°āĻŋ ?


A) 32  B) 24  C) 48   D) 64


Solution | āϏāĻŽāĻžāϧāĻžāύ

The word MODI has 4 letters. ("MODI" āĻļāĻŦā§āĻĻāĻŸā§‹āϤ ā§ĒāϟāĻž āφāĻ–ā§° āφāϛ⧇āĨ¤)


M, O, D, I



  • All letters are different. (āϏāĻ•āϞ⧋ āφāĻ–ā§° āĻŦ⧇āϞ⧇āĻ—-āĻŦ⧇āϞ⧇āĻ—āĨ¤)

  • No letter is repeated. (āĻāϟāĻž āφāĻ–ā§°ā§‹ āĻĒ⧁āύ⧰āĻžāĻŦ⧃āĻ¤ā§āϤāĻŋ āĻšā§‹ā§ąāĻž āύāĻžāχāĨ¤)


Formula | āϏ⧂āĻ¤ā§ā§°


If all letters are different: Number of arrangements = n!āϝāĻĻāĻŋ āϏāĻ•āϞ⧋ āφāĻ–ā§° āĻŦ⧇āϞ⧇āĻ— āĻšāϝāĻŧ: āϏāĻœā§‹ā§ąāĻžā§° āϏāĻ‚āĻ–ā§āϝāĻž = n!)


4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24


Ans | āωāĻ¤ā§āϤ⧰: B) 24


Trick | āĻŸā§ā§°āĻŋāĻ•

  • Number of different letters = 4 (āĻŽā§āĻ  āφāĻ–ā§° = ā§ĒāϟāĻž)

  • All letters are different → 4! = 24 (āϏāĻ•āϞ⧋ āφāĻ–ā§° āĻŦ⧇āϞ⧇āĻ— → 4! = 24)


Examples | āωāĻĻāĻžāĻšā§°āĻŖ



  • MODI → 4! = 24

  • BIHAR → 5! = 120

  • BOOK → 4! / 2! = 12
