Given: We have 9 letters 

To Find: Number of words formed with Letter of the word ‘ALLAHABAD.’ 

The formula used: The number of permutations of n objects, where p1 objects are of one kind, p2 are of the second kind, ..., pk is of a kth kind and the rest if any, are of a different kind is = \(\frac{n!}{p_1!p_2! .....p_k!}\)

‘ALLAHABAD’ consist of 9 letters out of which we have 4 A’s and 2 L’s. 

Using the above formula 

Where, 

n = 9 

p= 4 

p= 2

\(\frac{9!}{4!2!}\)  = 7560

7560 different words can be formed by using all the letters of the word ‘ALLAHABAD.’
