Answer:
11,800 different four letter permutations can be formed using four letters out of the first 12 in the alphabet
Step-by-step explanation:
Permutations formula:
The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:
[tex]P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}[/tex]
In this question:
Permutations of four letters from a set of 12 letters. So
[tex]P_{(12,4)} = \frac{12!}{(12-4)!} = 11800[/tex]
11,800 different four letter permutations can be formed using four letters out of the first 12 in the alphabet
