How many Permutations of the letters of the word APPLE are there?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
APPLE = 5 letters.
But two letters PP is of same kind.
Thus, required permutations,
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{{5!}}{{2!}} \cr & = \frac{{120}}{2} \cr & = 60 \cr} $$

5!=5×4×3×2×1=120
PP repeated so 2!=2×1 =2
=5!÷2!
=60
