In a dictionary, the words at each stage are arranged in alphabetical order.
In the given problem, we must consider the words beginning with C, C, H, I, N, 0 in order. So,
Total number of words starting with C=5!=120, which include the word COCHIN also.
The number of words that appear before the word COCHIN is less than 120.
Now, Number of words starting with CC = 4!
Number of words starting with CH = 4!
Number of words starting with CI = 4!
Number of words starting with CN = 4!
Next word starting with CO i.e. COCHIN = 1
Required number of words = 4 x 4! = 96
