Solution

The correct option is D 169194
The word "HINDUSTAN" has a letters in which the letter
n is repeated twice.
The number of permutations of the word "HINDUSTAN"
=9!2! [since n is repeated twice ]
The number of permutations in which the pattern "HIN" appeases
=7!
The numbers of permutations in which the pattern "DUS"appeases.
=7!2![since N is separated twice]
The numbers of permutations in which the pattern "TAN"appease
=7!
The number of permutations in which "HIN"and "DUS"appease
=5!
The numbers of permutations in which "DUS"and "TAN"appease
=5!
The numbers of permutations in which "Hin" and "TAN" appease
=6!
The numbers of permutations in which "HIN","DUS" and "TAN"
appears = 3!
Hence, the numbers of permutations of the word "HINDUSTAN"
such that neither the pattern "HIN" nor "DUS" nor "TAN"
appease=9!2!7!7!2!7!+5!+5!+5!3!
=181440-5040-2520-5040-120+120+120-6
=169194
