"SACHIN" is the first word in dictionary order beginning with the letter S. Now since S is the "last" in dictionary order of the 6 distinct letters A, C, H, I, N and S, "SACHIN" will be the next word after all the words starting with A, C, H, I and N have been formed.
Since there are 5 ! = 1 2 0 words starting with each of A, C, H, I and N, "SACHIN" will be in the 6 0 1 st position.
