Question:medium

All possible words (with or without meaning) that contain the word 'GENTLE' are formed using all the letters of the word 'INTELLIGENCE'. Then the number of words in which the word 'GENTLE' appears among the first nine positions only is

Show Hint

In permutation problems with a "contiguous block" constraint, always treat the block of letters as a single item. First, calculate the number of ways to place this block and the other items. Then, multiply by the number of ways to arrange the letters within the block itself (if applicable, here it's just 1 way since 'GENTLE' is fixed).
