Since we need to assigned 4S together, We consider 4S as one block So, our letters become We arrange them now Since letters are repeating Hence we use this formula = 𝑛!/(𝑝1!𝑝2!𝑝3! ) Here, n = Letters to be arranged = 9 + 1 = 10 Since 3A, 2I, 2N p1 = 3, p2 = 2, p3 = 2, Number of arrangements where the S’s are together = 10!/3!2!2! = (10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3!)/(3! 2! 2!) = 151200
