How many words can be made from the letters of the word $BHARAT$ in which $ B $ and $H$ never come together
A
$360$
B
$300$
C
$240$
D
$120$
(IIT-1977)
Solution
(c) The total number of words $ = \frac{{6\;!}}{{2\;!}} = 360$.
The number of words in which $BH$ come together are
$\frac{{5\;!}}{{2\;!}} \times 2\;! = 120$.
Hence required number of ways in which $B$ and $H$ never came together are $360 – 120 = 240$.
