Answer 2

Total number of different arrangements = 60

Explanation:

The word is given to be : COLOR

We need to find number of different arrangements of the letters in the given word.

Number of letters in the word = 5

Now, The letter O is repeating 2 times

Number of times a letter is repeating in the word = 2

`\text{Total number of arrangements = }(5!)/(2!)\\\\\implies\text{Total number of arrangements = }(5* 4* 3* 2* 1)/(2* 1)\\\\\bf\implies \textbf{Total number of arrangements = }60`
