Ooooooops hmm how do I explain ?? hehe ... try to take a simple example let us suppose the word in LAMA and we need to make 2 letter words from that. OKAY ??
So let us see ... by using the previous approach
We will find coefficeint of x2 in the expression
2! (1 + x)2(1 + x + x2/2)
So we find coefficeint of x2 in ( 1 + x2 + 2.x).(1 + x + x2/2)
The terms corresponding to x2 are 2! ( 1 + 2.1 + 1/2)x2
which is 7.
Now see the normal way the two letter words can be
AA, AL, AM, LA, LM, MA, ML
which are 7 in number so the approach works okay??
The expression will change if u make 5 letter words .. in this case u will replace 4! by 5! and find coefficiet of x^5.
okay ... cheers
