Solution
The dictionary order of the letters of the given word is A, D, E, G, N, R
In the dictionary order of words which begin with A, comes first.
If we fill the first place with A, the remaining 5 letters can be arranged in 5! ways. Proceeding like this
Number of words beginning with D = 5! = 120
Number of words beginning with DAE = 3! = 6
Number of words beginning with DAG = 3! = 6
Number of words beginning with DANE = 2! = 2
Number of words beginning with DANGE = 1! = 1
(which is the word DANGER)
∴ The rank of the word DANGER = 120 + 6 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 135
