Select where put 2 2 l's ( 9 2 ) \rightarrow \binom{9}{2}

Select where put 2 2 i's ( 7 2 ) \rightarrow \binom{7}{2}

Order other letters 5 ! 5!

( 9 2 ) ( 7 2 ) × 5 ! = 90720 \boxed{\binom{9}{2}\binom{7}{2}\times 5!=90720}

In the given word "BRILLIANT", there are 9 words.Since the letter I & L are repeated twice.

Therefore the number arrangements can be made out of the letter of the word "BRILLIANT" is 9 ! 2 ! × 2 ! \frac {9!}{2! \times 2!} = 90720 \boxed{90720}

"9 words" - you mean nine letters. Right?

There are 9 letters with I and L appear two times. So the answer is 9 ! 2 ! × 2 ! = 90720 \frac{9!}{2!\times2!}=\boxed{90720}

The answer is n!/p!xq! if any letter repeats p times and another letter repeats q times.

Here, n = 9 and p(L) = 2 and q(I) = 2.

So, answer = 9!/(2! x 2!) = 90720.
