Answer 1

Total number of letters in the word MAHARASHTRA = 11
The letter ‘A’ is repeated ‘4’ times.
The letter ‘H’ is repeated twice.
The letter ‘R’ is repeated twice.

∴ Number of arrangements = `(11!)/(4!2!2!)`

Other than M and T. there are 9 letters in which A repeats 4 times, H repeats twice, R repeats twice
The number of arrangements of the letter = `(9!)/(4!2!2!)`
These 9 letters create 10 gaps in which M and T are to be arranged
The number of the arrangement of M and T = ¹⁰P₂
∴ Total number arrangement having M and T never together = `(9!xx^10"P"_2)/(4!2!2!)`
