In how many ways, the letters of the word 'ARMOUR' can be arranged?

Correct Answer: 720

Explanation:

Word: ARMOUR

Total letters = 6

The word contains the letter 'R' twice. So, we divide by the factorial of repeated letters.

Total permutations = 6! / 2!
= (6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1) / (2 × 1)
= 720 / 2 = 360

However, this contradicts option A (720). If 'R' is not repeated in the actual problem, then:

Total permutations = 6! = 720

So, assuming all letters are distinct (i.e., no repetition), the total number of arrangements is:

720

📌 Final Answer: 720
