Solution

(a) No condition is imposed:

The total number of 4-letter words that can be formed from 7 letters is 7^4 = 2401. This is because for each of the 4 positions in the word, there are 7 possible letters that can be chosen.

(b) No letter can be repeated in a word:

The total number of 4-letter words that can be formed from 7 letters without repetition is 765*4 = 840. This is because for the first position there are 7 possible letters, for the second position there are 6 remaining letters, for the third position there are 5 remaining letters, and for the fourth position there are 4 remaining letters.

(c) Each word must begin with the letter A:

The total number of 4-letter words that can be formed from 7 letters where the first letter is A is 177*7 = 343. This is because the first position is fixed as A, and for each of the remaining 3 positions, there are 7 possible letters.

(d) The letter C must be at the end:

The total number of 4-letter words that can be formed from 7 letters where the last letter is C is 777*1 = 343. This is because the last position is fixed as C, and for each of the first 3 positions, there are 7 possible letters.

(e) The second letter must be a vowel:

Assuming the vowels are A and E, the total number of 4-letter words that can be formed from 7 letters where the second letter is a vowel is 727*7 = 686. This is because for the first position there are 7 possible letters, for the second position there are 2 possible vowels, and for each of the remaining 2 positions, there are 7 possible letters.
