18. find out how many arrangements are possible from the word STUDIO if
a) any grouping of letters is allowed
b) the t and d are together
a) There are 6 different letters to arrange, therefore 6!
b) TD SUIO. You arrange TD = 2! multiply with the 4 letters and treat TD as one, hence 5 objects to arrange. Therefore 2! x 5!.
