In how many ways can the letters of the word CHEESE be arranged so that no two E's come together? |
|
Answer» The given word contains 6 letters in which one C, one H, 3E's and one S. Since no two E's come together, first arrange the remaining 3 letters in 3! ways. Then we can find 4 gaps between them. The 3E's can be arranged in these 4 gaps in 4P3/3! = 4 ways. ∴ The number of required arrangements = 3! × 4 = 24 |
