Permutations of COCHIN are arranged in dictionary order. The number of words before COCHIN is
(a) $360$
(b) $192$
(c) $96$
(d) $48$
1 Answer
Correct answer: (c) $96$
Letters $C,C,H,I,N,O$. Words starting $C$ with second letter $<O$ (i.e. $C,H,I,N$): $4\times4!=96$; then COCHIN follows immediately. So $96$ words precede it.
