  1. A \(\frac{25}{26}\)
  2. B \(\frac{23}{26}\)
  3. C \(\frac{15}{26}\)
  4. D \(\frac{17}{26}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{15}{26}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The number of all possible ways to arrange the letters of word ASSASSINATION is \(=\frac{13 !}{3 ! 4 ! 2 ! 2 !}\) Now, the number of ways to arrange the letters \(S, S, S, S, I, N, T, I, O, N\) is \(\frac{10 !}{4 ! 2 ! 2 !}\) and the three \(A^{\prime}\) s we must arrange…
