Hey Grade 12 Students, your exams are near so work hard.

In how many different ways can the letters of the word "DETERRANT" be arranged so that the repeated letters do not come together?
Solution:
Total number of Letters = 9.
Number of E's = 2
Number of T's = 2
Number of R's = 2
Thus, Total Number of arrangements = $\frac{9!}{2! \times 2! \times 2!} = 45360$
Now, Total Number of Arrangements if repeated terms come together = $4! \times \frac{6!}{2! \times 2! \times 2!} = 2160$
Thus, Total Arrangements so that the repeated letters do not come together = Total Arrangements - Total Number of Arrangements if repeated terms come together
$= 45360 - 2160$
$= 43200$
