Given:
The word ‘SERIES’
There are 6 letters in the word ‘SERIES’ out of which 2 are S’s, 2 are E’s and the rest all are distinct.
Now, Let us fix 5 letters at the extreme left and also at the right end. So we are left with 4 letters of which 2 are E’s.
These 4 letters can be arranged in = \(\dfrac{ 4! }{ 2!}\) Ways.
Required number of arrangements is = \( \dfrac{ 4! }{ 2!}\)
= 4 × 3
= 12
Hence, a total number of arrangements of the letters of the word ‘SERIES’ in such a way that the first and last position is always occupied by the letter S is 12.
