without meaning) be listed as in a dictionary, then the position of the word ‘MOTHER’ is ……….
Answer: 309.00
Solution:
EHMORT
E ………. = 5!
H ………. = 5!
M E …….. = 4!
M H …….. = 4!
M O E ……. = 3!
M O H ……. = 3!
M O R ……. = 3!
M O T E ….. = 2!
MOTHER = 1!
So position of word mother in directory  2  5!  2  4!  3  3!  2!  1
 240  48  18  2  1
 309

x  x 2  x 3  ....  x n  n
lim  820, ( n  N )
Question: If x 1 x 1 then the value of n is equal to :
Answer: 40.00
( x  1) ( x 2  1) ( x n  1)
lim   .....   820
Solution: x 1 x  1 x 1 x 1
 1  2  3  ........  n  820
 n  820
n (n  1)
  820
2
 n  40
