Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

To find: 4 lettered word from letters of word NUMBERS

There are 7 alphabets in word NUMBERS.

The word is a 4 different letter word.

Formula:

Number of permutations of n distinct objects among r different places, where repetition is not allowed, is

P(n,r) = n!/(n-r)!

Therefore, a permutation of 7 different objects in 4 places is

P(7,4) = = = = 840.

Hence, they can be arranged in 840 words.
