CORRECT ANSWER (D)
To find the number of ways the letters of the word “chord” can be arranged taken all at a time, we use the concept of permutations.
The word “chord” has 5 distinct letters. When arranging all these letters, we have 5 choices for the first position, 4 choices for the second position (since one letter has been used), 3 choices for the third position, 2 choices for the fourth position, and only 1 choice for the fifth position.
Therefore, the total number of arrangements is:
5×4×3×2×1=5!=1205×4×3×2×1=5!=120
So, the correct answer is not listed among the options provided. It should be:
e) 120 ways
