If the letters of the word \(MOTHER\) be permuted and all the words so formed (with or without meaning) be listed as in a dictionary, then the position of the word \(MOTHER\) is
- A \(307\)
- B \(308\)
- C \(310\)
- D \(309\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(309\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
MOTHER \(1 \rightarrow \mathrm{E}\) \(2 \rightarrow \mathrm{H}\) \(3 \rightarrow \mathrm{M}\) \(4 \rightarrow \mathrm{O}\) \(5 \rightarrow \mathrm{R}\) \(6 \rightarrow \mathrm{T}\) So position of word MOTHER in dictionary \(2 \times 5 !+2 \times 4 !+3 \times 3 !+2 !+1\)…
