Solution

The alphabetical order of RACHIT is A, C, H, I, R and T

Number of words beginning with A = 5!

Number of words beginning with C = 5!

Number of words beginning with H = 5!

Number of words beginning with I = 5!

And Number of word beginning with R i.e. RACHIT = 1

∴ The rank of the word ‘RACHIT’ in the dictionary

= 5! + 5! + 5! + 5! + 1

= 4 × 5! + 1

= 4 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 + 1

= 4 x 120 + 1

= 480 + 1

= 481
