Solution

The word ARRANGE consists of 7 letters including two Rs and two As, which can be arranged in\[\frac{7!}{2!2!}\]ways.

∴ Total number of words that can be formed using the letters of the word ARRANGE = 1260
Number of words in which the two Rs are always together = Considering both Rs as a single entity
 = Arrangements of  6 things of which two are same (two As)

=\[\frac{6!}{2!}\]

= 360

Number of words in which the two Rs are never together = Total number of words- Number of words in which the two Rs are always together

= 1260 - 360= 900
