In how many ways can the letters of the word 'CIRCLE' be arranged?

The correct answer is Option (3) → 360

CIRCLE has 6 letters, with C repeated twice. Swapping the two C’s gives the same word, so the arrangements of 6 different letters are divided by \(2!\).

• Number of arrangements \(\displaystyle =\frac{6!}{2!}=\frac{720}{2}=360\)
