How many permutations can be formed by the letters of the word, ‘VOWELS,’ when
there is no restriction on letters?
Given: the word is ‘VOWELS.’
To find: number of words that can be formed using letters of the given word
Total number of letters in the word = 6
Formula used:
Number of arrangements of n things taken all at a time = P(n, n)
∴ Total number of arrangements
= the number of arrangements of 6 things taken all at a time
= P(6, 6)
{∵ 0! = 1}
= 6!
= 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1
= 720
Hence, the total number of words can be made by letters of the word ‘VOWELS’ = 720
