Word Formation with Repetition: Worksheet 6 - Intermediate-Advanced Practice Word Formation with Repetition INTERMEDIATE ADVANCED

Step-by-Step Solution:

Concept: Permutation with repetition. When some objects are identical, we divide by the factorial of the number of repetitions.

Analysis of 'BALL':
- Total letters: 4
- Some letters are repeated

Formula: n! / (p! × q! × ...)
where p, q, ... are the frequencies of repeated letters

Calculation:
If all letters were distinct: 4! = 24 arrangements

But some letters are repeated, so we have overcounted.
We must divide by 2! for the repeated letters.

Answer = 24 / 2 = 12

Key Principle: Identical objects create duplicate arrangements. We divide by their factorial to remove duplicates.

Why divide?: The repeated letters can be swapped among themselves without creating a new arrangement. We divide to account for this overcounting.
