A) Rs. 580 B) Rs. 480

P1+252x1002-P= 510

 

P[982- 1] = 510.

 

Sum = Rs. 1920

 

So, S.I. = (1920 x 25 x 2) / (2 x 100) = Rs. 480

A) 129780 B) 1587600
C) 35600 D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1587600

Explanation:

 H   L   C   N    T    A   U   I   O

 

      L        N          A        I

 

There are total 131 letters out of which 7 are consonants and 6 are vowels. Also ther are 2L's , 2N's, 2A's and 2I's.

 

If all the consonants  are together then the numberof arrangements = 7!2!x 1/2! .

But the 7 consonants  can be arranged themselves in  7!2! x 1/2! ways. 

 

Hence the required number of ways = 7!2!2!2 = 1587600
