उत्तर

The given word is FUNNY

To find the rank of the word FUNNY

Write down the letters of the word FUNNY.

Other than F in alphabetical order N, N, U, Y

Number of words beginning with F = `(4!)/(2!)`

= `(1 xx 2 xx 3 xx 4)/(1 xx 2)`

= 12 words

Among these words, the number of words beginning with FN = 3!

= 1 × 2 × 3

= 6 words

(Treating FN as one unit, the remaining 3 letters can be arranged in 3! ways)

The number of words beginning with FU is = `(3!)/(2!)`

= `(1 xx 2 xx 3)/(1 xx 2)`

= 3 words

Among these three words

FUNNY is the first word

Hence among the twelve words beginning with F

FUNNY appears as the 7th word.
