i got a formula for such problems in one of our books

the number of permutations of n different things taken r at a time in which x particular things always occur in assigned order is  n-xP r-x (r-x+1)

in the given question, we have to permutate 5 letters taking 5 at a time(i.e, all at a time) in which 2 things always occur at the same order. so puttinh them in formula,

no of reqd permutations=  5-2P 5-2  (5-2+1)= 24


it is not important where u stand, but in which direction u are moving
