a. How many ways can the letters of the word ALGORITHM be arranged in a row?
b. How many ways can the letters of the word ALGORITHM be arranged in a row if A and L must remain together (in order) as a unit?
c. How many ways can the letters of the word ALGORITHM be arranged in a row if the letters GOR must remain together (in order) as a unit?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a). The number if ways it can be arranged in a row= 362880 ways

b). 40320 ways

c). 5040 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 alphabets in the word ALGORITHM

The number if ways it can be arranged in a row= 9!

The number if ways it can be arranged in a row= 9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

The number if ways it can be arranged in a row= 362880 ways

if A and L must remain together (in order) as a unit, then we take it as 8 alphabets

= 8!

= 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

= 40320 ways

if the letters GOR must remain together (in order) as a unit, then we have 7 alphabets units remaining

= 7!

= 7*6*5*4*3*2*1

= 5040 ways

a). The number of ways it can be arranged in a row= 362880 ways.

b) The number of ways should be 40320 ways.

c) The number of ways should be 5040 ways.

Calculation of the number of ways:

a. Since There are 9 alphabets in the word ALGORITHM

So, The number of ways it can be arranged in a row= 9!

[tex]= 9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1[/tex]

= 362880 ways

b. In the case when  A and L must remain together (in order) as a unit, then we take it as 8 alphabets

= 8!

[tex]= 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1[/tex]

= 40320 ways

c. In the case when the letters GOR must remain together (in order) as a unit, so we have 7 alphabets units remaining

= 7!

[tex]= 7*6*5*4*3*2*1[/tex]

= 5040 ways
