Hi


Option (b) Total number of letters in 'AGAIN' are 5 and 'A' is repeated twice. So, Number of words starting with A are 4! = 24 Number of words starting with I are 2!4!=12 Number of words starting with G are 2!4!=12 Total number of words till now is 48 Two more words are still remaining which are NAAGI and NAAIG Fiftieth word is NAAIG
