Answer:
The number of words that can be formed from the word "LITERATURE" is 453600
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Word: LITERATURE
Required: Number of 10 letter word that can be formed
The number of letters in the word "LITERATURE" is 10
But some letters are repeated; These letters are T, E and R.
Each of the letters are repeated twice (2 times)
i.e.
Number of T = 2
Number of E = 2
Number of R = 2
To calculate the number of words that can be formed, the total number of possible arrangements will be divided by arrangement of each repeated character. This is done as follows;
Number of words that can be formed = [tex]\frac{10!}{2!2!2!}[/tex]
Number of words = [tex]\frac{10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1}{2 * 1 * 2 * 1 * 2 * 1}[/tex]
Number of words = [tex]\frac{3628800}{8}[/tex]
Number of words = 453600
Hence, the number of words that can be formed from the word "LITERATURE" is 453600
