Question

Find the number of ways so that letters of the word HISTORY can be arranged as end in ST

Sum

Solution

In the word 'HISTORY', the number of letters is n = 7.

Words end in ST:

Since the words end in ST, therefore we have to arrange only 5 positions from the remaining 5 letters.

This can be done in 5P5 ways.

Hence, the total number of words end in ST

= 5P5

= 5!

= 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

= 120
