Solution
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.
