Detailed Solution

We are given that 4 letters of the word “FLOWER” are taken at a time.
We need to find the no. of arrangements of the 4-lettered words which begin with F and end with R.
Four letter words must be in the form F_ _ R.
So first and last words are already selected, we have to select the remaining 2 from the remaining 4 letters of the word, L, O, W, E.
The 2nd letter can be selected from 4 letters and the 3rd letter can be selected from 3 letters.
So total no. of arrangements of the 4-letter word that begin with F and end with R is 1× C 4 1 × C 3 1 ×1  
C n r = n! r!(nr)! ,=4 C 3 1 3 1×4×3×1=12ways
