Answer: 34650

Explanation:

The number of permutations of n objects, where one object is repeated
n_1 times , another is repeated
n_2 times and so on is :


(n!)/(n_1!n_2!....n_k!)

Given : The number of letters in string MISSISSIPPI = 11

Here I is repeated 4 times, S is repeated 4 times and P is repeated 2 times.

Then , the number of different strings can be made from the letters in MISSISSIPPI, using all letters is given by :-


(11!)/(4!4!2!)=34650

Therefore , there are 34650 different strings can be made from the letters in MISSISSIPPI.
