उत्तर

Total number of word is ASSASSINATION are 13.

Where, we have 3A’s, 4S’, 2I’s, 2N’s, 1T’s and 1O’s.

If 4 S’s come consecutively in the word, then arrangement may be as follows:

`(SSSS)/(1 "Group") (A A AI I N N T O)/(9  "others")`

∴ Number of words when all S’s are together = `(10!)/(3!2!21)` and the total number of word formed from the words

ASSASSINATION = `(13!)/(3!4!2!!)`

∴ Required probability = `((10!)/(3!2!2!))/((13!)/(3!4!2!2!))`

= `(10!)/(3!2!2!) xx (3!4!2!2!)/(13!)`

= `(10!4!)/(13!)`

= `(10! xx 4 xx 3 xx 2)/(13 xx 12 xx 11 xx 10!)`

= `2/143`
