Solution

Dear Student

Total number of arrangements of the letters of the word ASSASSINATION = 13!3!.4!.2!.2! = 10810800Other than 3 A's there are 10 letters that can be arranged in 10 !4!.2!.2! ways i.e. 37800 ways.There are 11 places, 9 between 10 letters and one on extreme left and other on extreme right.To seperate 3 A's we arrange them in these 11 places. This can be done in C311 ways or 165 ways.Number of ways in which no two A's are together = 37800×165 = 6237000Required probability=623700010810800 = 1526
