If the letters of the word MATHS are permuted and all possible...

If the letters of the word MATHS are permuted and all possible words so formed are arranged as in a dictionary with serial numbers, then the serial number of the word THAMS is

Options

  1. A

    103103

  2. B102102
  3. C101101
  4. D104104

Correct answer

A.

103103

Step-by-step solution

The given word is MATHS

Arranging the letters alphabetically, we get

AHMST

When the word starts with any of the letters A/H/M/S, the number of possibilities=4!×4=96= 4 ! \times 4 = 96

Now when the word starts with TA, then the number of possibilities=3!=6= 3 ! = 6

Now when the word starts with THAMS, then the number of possibilities =1= 1

Rank =96+6+1=103= 96 + 6 + 1 = 103

Hence, rank of the work THAMS is 103103.
