How many different words, with or without meaning can be formed, by using the letters of the word ‘HARYANA’? Also, find as to:
(a) how many of these begin with H and end with N?
(b) in how many of these H and N are together?
Total letters in 'HARYANA' = 7
H → 1, A → 3, R → 1, Y → 1, N → 1.
n = 7, p = 3
∴ Number of arrangements =
(a) The word begins with H and ends with N.
Fix the first place with H.
The number of permutations = ...(i)
Fix the last place with N.
The number of permutations = ...(ii)
Now, we are left with 5 places and 3(A) + 1 (R) + 1 (Y)
Number of arrangements = ...(iii)
∴ By fundamental principle of counting, the number of arrangements
= 1 x 1 x 20 = 20.
(b) When H and N are together.
Tie the two.
Number of arrangements = ...(i)
Mix the tied bundle with the remaining.
[3 (A) + 1 (R) + 1(Y)] + 1 = 6 letters
Number of permutations = ...(ii)
∴ From (i) and (ii), applying fundamental principle of counting, we get the number of arrangements when H and N are together
= 2 x 120 = 240.
How many different words can be formed by using the letters of the word ‘ALLAHABAD?
(a) In how many of these do the vowels occupy even positions.
(b) In how many of these, the two L’s do not come together?
