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
