How many different arrangements of the letters in the word "COLOR" are there? 20 60 120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

120 right

OpenStudy (aravindg):

repetition possible?

Parth (parthkohli):

5!.....and then we'll divide 2! because the two O's are not distinguishable.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

60

Parth (parthkohli):

You forgot to divide 2!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok so you get 60

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes

OpenStudy (aravindg):

yep u should divide by 2 ! which gives 60

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

Well, first you would need to complete the question a bit I guess - are only five-lettered words allowed and is repetition of letter prohibited? If yes, then: picking 5 letters out of 5 = 5! divided by factorial of no. of repeated letters = 2! so, 5!/2! = 60
