Question

2. Find the number of permutations of the letters in the
word SMART.
​

Answer 1

The number of permutations of the letters in the word SMART are 120

Explanation:

Permutations are events of multiplicative type, where the number of possibilities decreases and if the order of a permutation is an arrangement of a set of objects in a defined order.

The number of possible permutations when taking objects from the set of elements will be, following the same reasoning:
`P_(n) =n!`

The number of permutations of the letters in the word SMART is:

`P_(5) =5!=5.4.3.2.1=120`
