    Number of ways of arranging 7 characters in 7 spaces

    The rightmost position has 3 possibilities: ##x,y,z## The remaining two letters are to be arranged in 6 spaces: ##\frac{6!}{4!}## Now the 3 can be placed in ##\frac{4!}{3!}## Total no of ways =$$3×\frac{6!}{3!}=12×30$$ $$OR$$ Since ##x,y,z## are three different boxes/variables, we can use the...
