SOLUTION:

We want to find the number of permutations of the letters in the word APPLICATION.

The word has 11 letters of which A,P,I are repeated two times.

Thus, the formula for the possible permutations of a word with repeated letters is;


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

Thus, we have;


(11!)/(2!2!2!)=4989600
