उत्तर

Here, we need to find out the number of pairs of the letters that can be formed with the 4 letters.
Required number of ordered pairs = Number of arrangements of  four letters, taken two at a time = 4P2

\[= \frac{4!}{\left( 4 - 2 \right)!}\]

\[ = \frac{4!}{2!}\]

\[ = \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2!}{2!}\]

\[ = 4 \times 3\]

\[ = 12\]
