In how many ways can the letters of the word 'MOMENT' be arranged?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 360
MOMENT has 6 letters, with M appearing twice and the other letters once. Swapping the two M’s gives the same word, so each word is counted twice among the arrangements of 6 letters, and the total is divided by 2!.
Arrangements of 6 letters treated as different: \(6!=720\)
Different words: \(\displaystyle\frac{6!}{2!}=\frac{720}{2}=360\)
