Given,
Word ′DISTRIBUTION′
Now, we have III,TT,D,S,R,B,U,O,N
Number of words with 3 alike letter and 1 different will be,
=8C1×3!4!=32
Number of words with 2 alike and other 2 alike will be,
=2!2!4!=6
Number of words with 2 alike and 2 different will be,
=2C1×8C2×2!4!=672
Number of words with all different letters will be,
=9C4×4!=3024
Therefore, the total number of ways will be,
=3024+672+6+32
=3734
