Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • The given word consists of 7 letters having 2 A’s and 2 R’s the rest of all different.

$ \therefore $ The total number of words $ =\frac{7!}{202!}=1260 $ The number of words R come together $ =\frac{6!}{2!}=360 $

$ \therefore $ The number of words with two R never together $ =1260-360=900 $
