Question

Ten different letters of an alphabet are given. Words with five letters are formed from these given letters. Then the number of words which have at least one letter repeated is

• A. 69760
• B. 30240
• C. 99748
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A 69760

Number of words in which all the 5 letters are repeated $={10}^5=100000$ and the number of words in which no letter is repeated are ${}^{10}{P}_5=30240$.
Hence the required number of ways are
100000 - 30240 = 69760.
