Sir m getting a lil confuse coz what i am seeing is word reward has 5 letters i.e R,E,W,A,D...

Per what I'm seeing glaringly, the question is the number of words that can be formed using that word, and not how the letters in the word can be arranged.

Answer 2

If repetition is not allowed
REWARD - Total 6 characters and two characters are common so total words possible are 6!/2! i.e. 360
If repetition is allowed
REWARD -Total 6 characters ,so total possiblity is 6! i.e. 720
hence solved
