Solution

(i) The given word ' HARYANA' consists of 7 letters, out of which there are 1 H, 3 A's, 1 R, 1 Y and 1 N.

Total number of words formed by all the letters of the given word = 7 !3 !=840.

(ii) Let us consider as a single letter.

Now, + ARYAA will give us 6 letters out of which there are 3 A' s, 1 R, 1 Y and 1 .

Total number of all such arrangments = 6 !3 !=120.

But, H and N can be arranged amost themselves in 2 ! ways.

Hence, the number of words having H and N together = (120×2)=240.

(iii) After fixing H in first place and N in last place, we have 5 letters, out of which there are 3 A' s, 1 R and 1 Y.

Hence, the number of words beginning with H and ending with N=5 !3 !=20.

(iv) The given word contains 3 vowels AAA and let us treat as 1 letter.

Now, we have to arrange 5 letters HRYN+ at 5 places.

Hence, total number of words formed having all vowels together = 5 !=(5×4×3×2×1)=120.
