Solution
Here, we need to permute four of the letters from the available 6 letters of the word NUMBER.
Number of different four letter words = Number of arrangements of 6 letters, taken 4 at a time =6 P4
\[= \frac{6!}{(6 - 4)!}\]
\[ = \frac{6!}{2!}\]
\[ = \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2!}{2!}\]
\[ = 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \]
\[ = 360\]
