1. The more, the_____.
- A. Betters
- B. Betters
- C. Betters
- D. Betters
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The first letter can be chosen in 26 ways. Similarly, second letter can be chosen in 26 ways.
Hence, the first 2 letters can be chosen in 26 × 26 ways.
Also, the third letter can be chosen in 26 ways.
Hence, the first 3 letters can be chosen in 26 × 26 × 26 ways.
But the fourth letter should be similar to second letter. This can be done in just 1 way.
Similarly, fifth letter should be similar to first letter. This can be done only in 1 way.
Hence, number of words possible = 26 × 26 × 26 × 1 × 1
= 17576
