Solution

In this problem, we have to find the number of words starting with A. In EXAMINATION, we have two I's and two N's and all other letters are different.

$∴$ Number of ways of arrangement = $\frac{10!}{2! 2!}$

= $\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2!}{2 \times 1 \times 2!}$

= $907200.$
