There are 6 different possible arrangements of letters A, B, A, B.

<u>Solution: </u>

Need to determine different ways to range letters A, B, A and B.

Using the theorem which says that the number of permutation of n alphabets, where p_1 number of alphabets of one kind and p_2 is number of alphabets of second kind is given by following formula.

Number of possible arrangements =\frac{n !}{p_{1} ! \times p_{2} !} \rightarrow(1)

In our case total number of alphabets = n = 4

Number of letter A = p_1 = 2

Number of letter B = p_2 = 2

Using (1), we get

Number of possible arrangements of A, B, A, B =\frac{4 !}{2 ! \times 2 !}=\frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1 \times 2 \times 1}=3 \times 2=6

Hence there are 6 different possible arrangements of letters A, B, A, B.
