If the number of words, with or without meaning. which can be made using all the letters of the word MATHEMATICS in which C and S do not come together, is (6!)k then k is equal to
  1. 2835
  2. 5670
  3. 1890
  4. 945

Solution

The word 'MATHEMATICS' consists of 11 letters including two M's, two T's and two A's,

Now, first we will arrange letters _M_A_T_H_E_M_A_T_I_.

Here, we have 10 gaps to fill C & S.

The number of words with or without meaning can be formed from the word MATHEMATICS when C, S does not come together is

=9!2!·2!·2!×C210×2!

=9×8×7×6!2!·2!×10×92

=5670

Hence this is the correct option.
