Taking into account identical letters, how many ways are there to arrange the word PARVAMONSTRA that
both begin and end with consonants?

Transcribed Image Text:4. (20) Taking into account identical letters, how many ways are there to arrange the word HUDSONICUS that
begin with a vowel or end with a consonant?
Any path to the right answer gets full credit. Deduct only 1 point for things like off-by-one errors, even if there is
more than one.
The consonants are H, D, S, N and C. S is used twice, all others are used once. For vowels, U is used twice, O and
I are used once.

Cases that end with an S look like (HUDSONICU)S. 9 letters and two U's, for = 181,440.
Cases that end with a different consonant look like (HUDSONIUS)C. 9 letters, two S's, and two U's, for
91
212!
= 90,720. There are four sets of these.
We're going to need to handle inclusion/exclusion.

●
Cases that begin with a U look like U(HDSONICUS). 9 letters and two S's, for = 181,440.
Cases that begin with a different vowel look like O(HUDSNICUS). 9 letters, two S's, and two U's, for
9!
= 90,720. There are two sets of these.
●
Cases that begin with a U and end with an S look like U(HDSONICU)S. 8! = 40,320.
Cases that begin with a U and end with another consonant look like U(HDSONIUS)C.
are four sets of these.
Cases that begin with another vowel and end with an S look like O(HUDSNICU)S.
two sets of these.
Cases that begin with another vowel and end with another consonant look like O(HUDSNIUS)C. =
10,080. There are eight sets of these.

So we have
181,440 x 2 + 90,720 x 6-40,320-20,160 x 6-10,080 x8=
+544,320-40,320-120,960-80,640 665, 280.
362,880
20,160. There
20,160. There are
