How many arrangements of the letters of BANANA are possible in which both Ns are together?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 20

The relevant principle is permutation with repeated objects and a togetherness restriction. Combine the two Ns into one block, written NN. The objects to arrange are then NN, B, A, A, A: five objects in total, with three identical As. Their distinct arrangements are 5!/3! = (5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)/(3 × 2 × 1) = 20. The NN block has no additional internal order because the two letters are identical. Thus option A is correct. Counting all letters without accounting for repeated As would overcount, while treating the two Ns as separate would include arrangements in which they are not adjacent.
