उत्तर
In a dictionary, the words are arranged in alphabetical order. Therefore, in the given problem, we must consider the words beginning with E, H, I, N, T and Z.
∴ Number of words starting with E = 5! = 120
Number of words starting with H = 5! = 120
Number of words starting with I = 5! = 120
Number of words starting with N = 5! = 120
Number of words starting with T = 5! = 120
Now, the word will start with the letter Z.
After Z, alphabetically, the next letter would be E, which is as per the requirement of the word ZENITH.
After ZE, alphabetically, the next letter would be H, i.e. ZEH. The remaining three letters can be arranged in 3! ways.
Now, the next letter would be I, i.e. ZEI. The remaining three letters can be arranged in 3! ways.
Now, the next letter would be N, which as per the requirement of the word ZENITH.
After ZEN, alphabetically, the next letter would be H, i.e. ZENH. The remaining two letters can be arranged in 2! ways.
The next letter would now be I, i.e. ZENI, which is as per the requirement of the word ZENITH.
H will come after ZENI, which would be followed by T.
The word formed is ZENIHT.
The next word would be ZENITH.
Total number of intermediate words = 5\[\times\]120 + 3! + 3! + 2! + 1 + 1 = 616
