In the word (REFER), (R) occurs twice and (E) occurs twice. How many distinct arrangements are possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 30

The word REFER has 5 letters, with two identical R's and two identical E's. If all letters were different, there would be \(5!\) arrangements. Interchanging the identical R's or identical E's does not create a new arrangement, so divide by \(2!\) for each repeated pair: \(\frac{5!}{2!\,2!}=30\). Option 60 accounts for only one repeated pair. Exam tip: for arrangements with repeated objects, use \(\frac{n!}{p!q!\cdots}\).
