Group all 's' together and call it X remaining letters have 3A, 2I, 2N, one T and one O so total letters = 10 out of this 3! terms will have indistinguishable 'A' 2! indistinguishable 'I' and same for N So total = 10!/(3!*2!*2!) =151200

SSS are to be together. ie consider SSSS as a single free unit. remaining free units= (13 - 4) Total number of free units = (13 -4) +1= 10 free units 10 free units can be arranged in 10 ! ways Internal arrangement of SSSS together = 4 ! ways Total number of arrangements = 10! x 4 ! = 87091200...

In the word "ASSASSINATION" A, S, I and N repeated 3 times, 4 times, 2 times and 2 times respectively. Since 4S must be together, SSSS can be treated as one entity. Hence, total number of arrangement = 10! / (3! x 2! x 2!) = 151200
