The letters of the word "UDAYPUR" are written in all possible ways with or without meaning and these words are arranged as in a dictionary. The rank of the word "UDAYPUR" is

Options

  1. A1579
  2. B1581
  3. C1578
  4. D1580

Correct answer

D. 1580

Step-by-step solution

Letters of UDAYPUR: A, D, P, R, U, U, Y (U repeated twice).
Words starting with a letter before U: letters A, D, P, R each give 6!2!=360\frac{6!}{2!} = 360 arrangements ⇒4×360=1440\Rightarrow 4 \times 360 = 1440.
Fix U at position 1. Remaining: A, D, P, R, U, Y (all distinct).
Words starting with UA: 5!=1205! = 120.
Fix UD at positions 1-2. Remaining: A, P, R, U, Y. No letter before A, so fix UDA.
Remaining: P, R, U, Y. Letters before Y: P, R, U give 3×3!=183 \times 3! = 18.
Fix UDAY. Remaining: P, R, U. No letter before P, fix UDAYP.
Remaining: R, U. Letter before U: R gives 1!=11! = 1.
Fix UDAYPU, last letter R: the word itself.
Rank =1440+120+18+1+1=1580= 1440 + 120 + 18 + 1 + 1 = 1580.
