120 four letter permutations if you don't allow more than one 'o' in the four letter

arrangement.

209 four letter permutations if you allow two, three and all four 'o'.

1.- Let set A = {t,l,r,m,}, and set B = {o,o,o,o}.

2.- From set A, the number of 4 letter permutations is 4P4 = 24.

3.- 3 letters from set A give 4P3 = 24, and one 'o' can take 4 different positions in the

word. That gives us 24x4 = 96 four letter permutations.

4.- In total, 24 + 96 = 120 different four letter permutations.

5.- If the other three 'o' are allowed to play, then you have 2 letters from set A that

give 4P2 = 12 permutations and two 'o' can take 4C2 = 6 position's, giving 12x6 = 72

four letter permutations.

6.- One letter from set A we have 4P1 = 4, each one can take 4 different positions, the

rest of the spaces taken by three 'o' gives 4x4 = 16 different permutations.

7.- The four 'o' make only one permutation.

8.- So now we get 72 + 16 + 1 = 89 more arrangements adding to a total of 89 + 120 = 209 different 4 letter arrangements made from the letters of the word toolroom.

How many different 4-letter permutations can be formed from the letters in the word DECAGON?

The word "DECAGON" has 7 letters, with the letter "A" appearing once, "C" appearing once, "D" appearing once, "E" appearing once, "G" appearing once, "N" appearing once, and "O" appearing once. To find the number of different 4-letter permutations, we need to consider combinations of these letters. Since all letters are unique, the number of 4-letter permutations is calculated using the formula for permutations of n distinct objects taken r at a time: ( P(n, r) = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!} ). Here, ( n = 7 ) and ( r = 4 ), so the number of permutations is ( P(7, 4) = \frac{7!}{(7-4)!} = \frac{7!}{3!} = 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 = 840 ). Thus, there are 840 different 4-letter permutations that can be formed from the letters in "DECAGON."


How many combination of 24 letters?

The answer can be written as "24!" or 24 factorial, which means 24 X 23 X 22 .... X 3 X 2 X1. The answer is 620,448,401,733,239,439,360,000 different combinations. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The question should say "permutations of 24 different letters" I believe, for which the above answer is. Number of 24 different letter permutations.

What is the number of distinguishable permutations of the letters in the word oregon?

360. There are 6 letters, so there are 6! (=720) different permutations of 6 letters. However, since the two 'o's are indistinguishable, it is necessary to divide the total number of permutations by the number of permutations of the letter 'o's - 2! = 2 Thus 6! ÷ 2! = 360

How many distinguishable 5-letter combinations are possible of the letters of the word tight?

Normally, there would be 5!=120 different permutations* of five letters. Since two of the letters are the same, we can each of these permutations will be duplicated once (with the matching letters switched). So there are only half as many, or 60 permutations.* (the correct terminology is "permutation". "combination" means something else.)
