Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 144

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have a word; LINEAR then no. of arrangements having EA together is \(5!\times 2=240\) ...(i) now an arrangement having RN and EA together is \(4!\times 2 \times 2=96\) ...(ii) Hence no. of words having \({N}\) and \({R}\) not together is \(240-96=144\)
