Given:

Letters = K, N, A, G, A

Word to find position = NAAKG

Calculation:

Arranging letters in alphabetical order: A, A, G, K, N

Words starting with A:

Number of arrangements = \(\frac{4!}{1!}\) = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24

Words starting with G:

Number of arrangements = \(\frac{4!}{2!}\)  = 12

Words starting with K:

Number of arrangements = \(\frac{4!}{2!}\)  = 12

Words starting with N:

Words starting with NA:

Words starting with NAA:

Number of arrangements of K, G = 2! = 2 × 1 = 2 (NAAGK, NAAKG)

Position of NAAKG = (Words starting with A) + (Words starting with G) + (Words starting with K) + 2

⇒ Position of NAAKG = 24 + 12 + 12 + 2

⇒ Position of NAAKG = 24 + 12 + 12 + 2

⇒ Position of NAAKG = 50

The word NAAKG will appear at the 50th place.
